Following the war, a US Army enlistment record shows Frederick F. Arburthnot (Fredk F Arbuthnot) enlisted 13 February 1866 in the U. S. Army, at Ft. Schulyer for 3 years and was assigned to L Company, 1st Artillery. A note lists as “Des May 1866”, which appears to be “Deserted”.
Frederick came to Georgia and married Latisha in Jun of 1866 and lived there between 1866 and about 1880.
He returned to Newark, New Jersey around 1880 and entered the New Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers where he died. Frederick’s application for admittance to the New Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers states “That in the month of July or August 1863 was detailed to work on the Rail Road which runs from Alexandria [VA] to Richmond [VA] and which had been torn up by the enemy; and that while so engaged was overcome by the heat.
Based on this information he would have been most likely present at the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.
