During the war
On 17 December 1861, he enlisted, and was mustered in, at Philadephia, Pennsylvania.
He enlisted for three years.
He was mustered in as a private in company B.
[sources: 1, 2]
On the January-February 1862 muster roll, he was reported absent without leave.
[source: 2]
On 18 March 1862, he deserted, from Washington, DC.
I assume this is the date he was reported deserted, since he had been absent without leave.
[source: 2]
Since he was discharged from Forrest Hill Prison (which was used as a jail for deserters), he must have been caught or returned voluntarily.
[sources: 2, 3]
On 18 December 1863, he was discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability, from Forrest Hall Prison, Georgetown, District of Columbia.
He had a left oblique inguinal hernia, and debility from old age.
