He was born on 14 June 1823, in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, to Richard Kitchenman and Phoebe Foster.
[sources:
date: 9.
place: 9.
parents: 9]
He apparently married Lavinia [unknown family name].
She was born in 1829/30, in Ireland.
They apparently had at least one child:
Edward Kitchenman (b. 1848/49, Pennsylvania)
[source: 13]
In 1850, he was living in ward 7, Spring Garden, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He was living with Lavinia (presumably his wife), and with Edward (presumably their son).
[source: 13]
Perhaps he is the George Kitchinman, dyer, living at Fairmount above Morris Streets, Philadelphia, in 1851.
[source: 11]
Perhaps he is the George Kitchinman, dyer, living at Fairmount above Spring Garden Streets, Philadelphia, in 1855 to 1857.
John Kitchinman, laborer, was also living there.
[source: 11]
Levina Kitchenman, wife of George Kitchenman, died on 30 April 1857.
His residence was 25th street, between Spring Garden and Centre.
[source: 12]
During the war
He enlisted and was mustered into service as a private on 14 November 1862 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He was a private in company A.
[sources: 1, 7, 14]
On 2 July 1863, he was missing in action.
He was dropped from the rolls on 9 July 1863, by order of Brigadier General Garrard.
On the next consolidated morning report, dated 28 July 1863, he was reported as having been dropped because he was missing in the campaign.
He was a private, in company A.
[sources: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14]
On 8 September 1863, Sinex reported that he was in Philadelphia and able to rejoin the regiment, and requested his return (2). Sinex claimed that Kitchenman was "reported to be working at his trade in a dye house".
[source: 2]
After the war
Perhaps he is the George Kitchinman, dyer, living at 2217 Hamilton Street, Philadelphia, in 1864.
[source: 11]
Perhaps he is the George Kitchinman, dyer, living at 2024 North Third Street, Philadelphia, in 1876-1877.
Thomas Kitchenman was living there, and William Kitchenman was living at 2026 North Third Street.
[source: 11]
He is probably the George Kitchenman who died on 31 December 1889, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He died of chronic diarrhea.
He died at, or was buried from, 2024 North 3rd Street, 19th ward, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was the house of his brother Thomas Kitchenman.
He was 67 years old, and was born in England.
He was married, and was a dyer.
He was buried on 3 January 1890, at Mt Peace Cemetery.
