He was born on 20 October 1843, in Wethersfield Springs, Wyoming County, New York, to Eli Proudfit Doolittle and Mary Jane Olds. [sources: date: 16 (Oct 1843), 17 (Oct 1844), 20 (20 Oct 1843); 11 (18 in 1861), 13 (16 in 1860), 14 (26 in 1870), 15 (37 in 1880). place: 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20. parents: 20]
In 1860, he was living in Withersfield, Wyoming County, New York. He was living with Eli and Fanny Doolittle (apparently his father and stepmother), and with James, Emma, and H[amilton] Doolittle (apparently siblings). He had attended school within the year. [source: 13]
When he enlisted, he was a farmer. [source: 11]
When he enlisted, he was five feet three inches tall, and had a fair (or light) complexion, blue eyes, and light hair. [source: 11]
He also served in company H of the 9th New York Cavalry, from 5 October 1861 through 20 May 1862. On 5 October 1861, he was enlisted at Warsaw (or Wethersfield Springs), by Captain Wilbert G Bentley. [sources: 1, 2, 3 (20 May), 4 (22 May), 5, 9, 11]
On 28 November 1861, he was 'Left in Hosp[ita]l at Philadelphia'. [source: 11]
On the 31 December 1861 muster roll for company H of the 9th New York Cavalry, he was listed, but not reported present or absent. [source: 11]
On the January-February 1862 muster roll for company H of the 9th New York Cavalry, he was reported present. [source: 11]
On 14 February 1862, Captain Bentley, commanding company H of the 9th New York Cavalry, signed a certificate of disability for discharge. John Spencer, Surgeon of the 9th New York Cavalry, certified that Doolittle was disabled by nostalgia. But he was not actually discharged. [source: 11]
On 7 March 1862, he was admitted to General Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He had rubeola. [source: 11]
On 28 March 1862, he was transferred to South Street General Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was then a convalescent. [source: 11]
On 10 April 1862, he returned to duty. [source: 11]
He was temporarily assigned to the 91st Pennsylvania Infantry, by order of Brigadier General Wadsworth (special order 37, Headquarters Military District of Washington, 11 April 1862). He was a private, in company B. [sources: 1, 2, 12, 21]
The March-April muster roll for Company B of the 91st Pennsylvania infantry report him as present. (None of the company's prior muster rolls include him.) The March-April muster roll for company H of the 9th New York Cavalry reports him absent, sick in US Hospital in Philadelphia. [source: 11]
On 22 May 1862, he was discharged, on surgeon's certificate of disability, at Alexandria, Virginia. The discharge was signed by A H Bowman, and by I D Knight, and E H Gregory. He was discharged because of pericarditis and physical disability; he had been unfit for duty sixty days in the last two months. [source: 11]
He also served in the Navy, as a landsman on the Princeton, the North Carolina, the Lawrence, and the Quebec City, from 4 August 1864 through 10 June 1865. [sources: 1, 2, 3, 9]
On 2 October 1867 he married Olive Adelaide Blakely, in North Java, Wyoming County, New York. She was born on 11 January 1847, in New York. They apparently had these children:
[sources: 14, 15, 16, 17 (6 children, 4 alive in 1900), 20 (Olive died 11 Oct 1898)]
In 1870, he was living in Java, Wyoming County, New York. He was living with his (apparent) wife Olive, and (apparent) child James. He was a farmer, and owned $500 in personal property. [source: 14]
In 1880, he was living in Castile, Wyoming County, New York. He was living with his wife Olive, and their children James, Harry, and Laura. He was a farm laborer. [source: 15]
On 27 June 1881, he applied successfully from New York for a pension. [sources: 1, 2]
In 1890, he was living in Hay River Township, Dunn County, Wisconsin. He had been injured in the heel of his right foot. [source: 3]
In 1900, he may have been living in two different places. An Edward J Doolittle was living with his son James B Doolittle in Eldred Borough, McKean County, Pennsylvania. He was a fireman, at a saw mill. But an Edward J Doolittle is also living in Palmyra, Marion County, Missouri, with his wife Allie, daughter Emma, and son (presumably brother) Hamilton and Hamilton's family. He was a day laborer, and had been out of work for eleven months in the previous year. [sources: 16, 17]
Effective 1 February 1907, his pension was increased to $12 per month. The certificate was dated 7 March 1907. He had a disease of the heart, resulting from measles. [source: 8]
On 16 November 1907, his pension was transferred from Topeka, Kansas. [source: 8]
On 4 June 1908, he died, in Bradford, [McKean County,] Pennsylvania. He was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania. [sources: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 20 (4 May 1907)]
On 11 June 1908, Olive Doolittle, his widow, successfully applied from Pennsylvania for a pension. Effective 11 June 1908, she received a pension of $12 per month, under the Act of 19 April 1908. The pension certificate was dated 20 October 1908. [sources: 1 (not successful), 2, 9]
In 1910, his widow, Olive, may have been living in Sheffield Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio. If so, she was living with her daugher Emmie B, and Emmie's family. [source: 18]
Effective 8 September 1916, his widow's pension was increased to $20 per month. [source: 9]
Effective 6 October 1917, his widow's pension was increased to $25 per month. [source: 9]
Effective 1 May 1920, his widow's pension was increased to $30 per month, under the Act of 1 May 1920. [sources: 9, 10]
Effective 4 June 1928, his widow's pension was increased to $40 per month, under the Act of 23 May 1928. [source: 10]
In 1920, his widow, Olive L Doolittle, may have been living in Collins, Erie County, New York. If so, she was living with her nephew, Orville J Blakely, and others. [source: 19]
According to one source, his widow died on 14 December 1929. I have not been able to confirm this. [source: 10]
According to various Ancestry family trees, Edward's wife Olive died in 1898. She is not living with him in the 1900 census; as I read it, his marital status is 'unknown' (but the FamilySearch and Ancestry indexers read it as 'widowed'). This seems very likely to have been the Edward who served in the 91st, since he died in 1908 in McKean County, Pennsylvania. But according to the pension records available online, the widow Olive of the Edward who served in the 91st received a pension after his death, and died in 1929.
I have only one other candidate, whom I am confident is not the Edward Doolittle who served in the 91st. An Edwin Doolittle, born in New York about 1832, was married to Olive Burnett. They lived in Minnesota. Since 'Edwin' and 'Edward' were both often abbreviated 'Edw', they could be (and were!) easily confused. The Edward who served in the 91st did live in the midwest; in 1890 he was living in Wisconsin, and in 1907 his pension was transferred from Kansas (to the Veterans Administration). But I think this is not the Edward who served in the 91st, since he applied for a pension in 1881 from New York, and Edwin was living in Minnesota in 1880. Also, according to 'Our family' (a gedcom on RootsWeb WorldConnect), Edwin Doolittle born 1832 (to Cyrus Doolittle born in Windsor Broome County New York, and Sally McClure), married to Olive Burnett, died in 1901 in Minnesota. See the following sources for this Edwin and Olive:
Still, the discrepancy relating to Olive's death is troubling, and I may well be missing something.
