Thomas Bailey Aumack-- Part 3: Some Confusion of Where He Was Wounded or If He Ended Up Dying of Something Else

Served as a private in Company C, 87th  Regiment of New York Volunteers, under Captain  Samuel F. Knight, American Civil War.

He was wounded at the Battle of Antietam between September 14-17, 1862 and was sent home from Fort Monroe, Virginia, by reason of surgeon's certificate  of disability to die.

*************************

I could not find any mention of the 87th NY at the Battle of Antietam and then found out that the organization ceased to exist on September 6, 1862, when the regiment was consolidated with the 40th New York Infantry.

So, if Thomas Aumack was wounded, it would not have been at Antietam if he was in the 87th.
