On 10/1/1861 he mustered into Field & Staff OH 60th Infantry
He was Mustered Out on 11/10/1862

Additional Information:
Born in Fleming county, Kentucky, July 11th, 1800. He was the third in a family of twelve children, whose parents were George W. Barrere and Abigail Mills Barrere.
In 1861 he assisted in raising and organizing the 60th Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and accompanied it to the scenes of war as Adjutant, and remained in the service until the fall of 1862. At Harper's Ferry, Virginia, he was wounded, and lost his left hand, and with his regiment was taken prisoner by the Confederate forces. He was subsequently released on parole and returned to his home. Of five sons who served efficiently in the Union army during the progress of the sectional contest, one died of disease, contracted while assisting in the defence of the national flag and the unity of the nation; one was blown up on board of the ill-fated steamer "Sultana;" and one was starved to death in that monstrous enclosure known in the annals of infamy as Andersonville Prison.
