Notes

Marriage

They were married by John George Young, a minister of the Lutheran Church. There are two affidavits by the minister in the widow's Civil War pension file for Conrad Shoffstall. One dated 1866 gives a marriage date of 4 July 1854 and the other dated 1864 gives a marriage date of 4 July 1855. Since their oldest child was born in 1855, the earlier marriage date is probably correct.

Military

Conrad was killed during the Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia.

Alt name

Name has many spelling variations in the widow's Civil War pension file.
