• Notes

  A muster Roll for Co H, 6th NH Infantry states that he was “Left at Warrenton Junction, VA. Aug 24, 1862”. This occurred as the unit was in motion for the 2nd Battle of Bull Run, which began Aug 26th when Jackson attacked a column of Pope's army near Brawner Farm, Warrenton. It probably means that he was either ill or injured. His Certificate of Disability for Discharge dated 13 Oct 1862 states that, at US Army Hospital, Newark, NJ, he was examined on 7 Oct 1862 and found to have “Phthisis of the third stage”, meaning he was near death from tuberculosis. His death probably occurred in October as his widow submitted an application for a Widow's pension on Nov 13, 1862. [Civil War Service record/Pension index entries for Jonas M. Willey].
