PVT CO B, 120th OHIO Volunteer Infantry
Private George Baughman was 21 when he entered service.
The following is an interesting piece of information retrieved from the Find A Grave site listed below on October 28, 2022.
"Here is my observation regarding the Jan 23, 1828 date of birth that appears on one of the markers for George F. Baughman. The original marker says George Franklin Baughman died 24 Mar 1863, age 23y 1m 28d. The second marker, which appears to me to be a government marker of much more recent issue, says George F. Baughman was born Jan 23 1828. Looking at it another way--literally--we have:
original marker: age 23y 1m 28d
gov't marker: born 23 Jan 1828
It appears to me that the original age at death "morphed" into an erroneous date of birth!"
