He was born in 1845/46 (2 (18 in 1864), 7 (4 in 1850), 8 (13 in 1860)). He was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania (2, 7, 8).
In 1850, he was living in North Mulberry Ward, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (7). He was living with Gottlob and Margaret Roesch (presumably his parents), with five probable siblings, and with eight others (7). His father was a baker, as were four of the people living with them (7).
In 1860, he was living in ward 10, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (8). He was living with Gottlob and Margaret Roesch (presumably his parents), with eight probable siblings, and with seven others (8). He had attended school within the last year (8). His father was a master baker, one of his brothers was a baker, and two bakers and an apprentice baker were living with them (8).
When he enlisted, he was a baker (2).
When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 5 inches tall, had a light complexion, blue eyes, and light hair (2).
He enlisted and was mustered into service as a recruit, for three years, on 4 February 1864, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania (1, 2). He was enlisted by Lieutenant Shipley, and mustered into service by Lieutenant Burke (2). He was a private, in company E (1, 2, 10-11).
On 7 September 1864, he was reported as returned to duty, apparently from being absent sick (6).
On 14 November 1864, Sellers listed him as charged with one gun and (complete) accoutrements, presumably because he had lost them (3).
On 30 May 1865, he was detailed for duty in the 1st division provost guard (3).
He mustered out on 10 July 1865 with his company (1). He was a private, in company E (10-11).
Perhaps the Anna Roesch who died on 5 January 1891 is his wife (9). If so, he was alive then.
