The 12th Regiment, NY State Volunteers was called up twice during the Civil War.
The first time was for 3 months in 1861. George was an Infantry Private in Company E.
The 12th Regiment sailed from New York to Fortress Monroe, Virginia on 21 April 1861. They arrived on April 23rd and then moved to Annapolis and finally Washington, D. C. The Regiment was assigned to Mansfield's Command. They mustered on 2 May 1861, after which they advanced into Virginia on May 23rd where the Regiment occupied Arlington Heights on the 24th. They were ordered on July 6th to join Patterson's Army, following which the 12th Regiment was involved in a skirmish near Martinsburg WV on July 12th and again near Bunker Hill on July 15th. They mustered out at New York City on 5 August 1861 because of the expiration of their term of active duty.
The second time was for 3 months in 1863. George was an Infantry Corporal in Company G.
The 12th Regiment again entered service for thirty days on June 18, 1863. They were moved to Harrisburg, Pa where they were attached to the 1st Brigade, Dana's Division, Dept. of the Susquehanna. They saw duty at Fenwick, Pa, but no action is reported. The Regiment mustered out at New York City July 20, 1863 at the end of their term of active duty.
George was a Jeweler who was a lifetime resident of New York City. George abruptly retired from the John A. Riley and Company on 4 Feb 1870, a jewelry firm of which he was a partner. This could have been due to illness since he died less than a year later.
