Peter Robinson, Co. E, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry

Attempting to identify burial location.

While conducting research on Confederate soldiers buried in Rockingham County, Virginia, I discovered that Peter Robinson, Private, Company E, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry, died at Harrisonburg, 26 May 1864.

The Yankees who died and were buried in Harrisonburg were moved beginning in 1866 to various national cemeteries in the Shenandoah Valley. Most of the Yankees buried in Harrisonburg were disinterred and reburied in Staunton Military Cemetery. However, I do not find Robinson's name listed there; nor is he listed in the national registry.

If anyone has information on Private Peter Robinson, Company E, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry, it would be greatly appreciated.

If this man still lies in an unmarked grave in Woodbine Cemetery, Harrisonburg, I want to make sure he gets a Veterans Adminstration marker.

If he is buried somewhere else, I can mark him off my list.

Thanks.
