Abraham Denison died February 4 or 5, 1862. He enlisted in the Union Army in December 1861, along with Daniel Ebert, who would eventually marry Sarah, Abraham's younger sister. While in training at Camp Douglas in Cook County, Illinois, Abraham contracted measles and died.
Online muster roll information indicates that Abraham stated he was born in Chester [more likely Lancaster] County, Pennsylvania, and died on February 4. His tombstone has been reported to bear the date February 5.
There is a also conflict between the date of birth said to be inscribed on his tombstone, August 23, 1841, and the reported birth date of his sister, Sarah, August 10, 1841. Abraham's enlistment record was dated December 28, 1861, and his age was entered as 21. This suggests a birth year of 1840, which is supported by the 1860 Federal Census.
