Comments

Last name spelling per Wethersfield historical burying ground map is James; however typos maybe being made here could be Janes. Gravestone photo I took is hard to read. The stone is in poor condition. Also historical burying ground shows different year of death 1896 not 1893. The FAG has Surname as “James” Maybe was changed since? I added Janes as possibly other last names also gravestone seems to clearly show year of death as 1893 however burying ground map shows 1896.

If you zoom in on the headstone it says JANES!  Someone from FAG needs to correct that.

Rank is corporal per NPS so I wonder why says Sergt?

He mustered in a Corporal.  He may later have been promoted to Sgt.
