Note 1:
There is some confusion about the sex of the twin of Lennie George; some records indicate that the child was a female named Lenna as indicated, but family tradition says the child was a male named Leonard. Accordingly, we have submitted it both ways to make sure the sealing is proper.

that his wound was severe enough to prevent him from active
fighting. Probably, it was his desire to remain with his unit and
it was a custom to be promote to the rank of Quarter master
Sergeant, thus enabling him to remain in service. He was mustered

Covington, Kentucky.Information from the records of Walter Razor.
