Individual Details
Joseph Mahaffey Junior
(19 Apr 1836 - 2 Aug 1913)
Joseph Mahaffey was listed as "Senior" on Find A Grave. As his father's name is "Joseph," I have used "Junior" instead. In 1860, Joseph, Jr., was a shoemaker in Guilford, Pennsylvania. He served in the Civil War, enlisting on 1 October 1861, but was discharged by the surgeon for "unfitness for duty as a soldier caused by general disability." Trying again, Joseph enlisted a second time on 12 January 1864, served as a private with Company M, 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry (92nd PA), and was honorably discharged on 18 July 1865 at Lexington, North Carolina.

Notes
Birth
The 1850 Census listed Joseph's age as 13, which would place his birth in 1837. His sister, Sophie, was born in that year, and I have no indication they were twins. Because of the clash in Sophie's and Joseph's birth years, I have left his birth year off the record.Endnotes
