Thomas J. Whitmore
Thomas J. Whitmore was born around 1841. By the early 1860s, he was probably living in Forest County, Pennsylvania.
He enlisted in the Union army on August 19, 1861, and he mustered in as a private in Company G of the 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry on August 28. The regiment took part in the Seven Days’ Battles and the Second Battle of Manassas. He was wounded in the leg at Second Manassas on August 30, 1862, and he spent several months recovering. In June 1863, a surgeon wrote that his “wound has been healed, but reopened and is now an ill conditioned ulcer.” Army officials transferred him to the Veteran Reserve Corps in September 1863.
He died on July 1, 1867, possibly in Illinois.
