April 23-27 1865, March to Danville duty their until May 18, 1865. I realize the enlistment date and place do not coincide with the enlistment certificate. I have an explanation for that. He could have enlisted on date specified July 17, 1863, but do to travel, training, etc. would not have actually reported into his unit until August 30, 1864. At which time the lazy clerk would have just entered his enlistment and reporting in date the same. For the place were he enlisted, the 4th Infantry Regiment was originally raised out of Battleboro and the surrounding areas. Hence why the certificate would state Battleboro. Majority of the volunteers in Company Alpha were formed up from the town of Whitingham in Whindham County. Hence the company being referred to as the Whitingham Company.
