Henry B. Warren was a
surprisingly common name at the time of his birth. Assuming he was
born about 1838, there are at least 6 Henry B. Warren's with birth
years of 1835-1840, each in a different state. Warren is called "a
young gentleman," acted as a Quartermaster Major, acted as an
Assistant Engineer, and tried to get a commission in an artillery
unit. There is no enlistment card for him; we do not know his age;
and we do not know his home state. At present, I have not been able
to locate any likely candidate for him before or after the war. |
|
The 1865 parole listing shows him
as a Captain and AQM. The June 1864 printed list of all
Quartermasters does not list him. |
|
There are no records indicating
any particular RR service for the Army, but he is included here for
completeness of the record. |
