George H. Packwood, b.c1844 probably in NYC, NY, enlisted 20 Dec 1864 (age 20). Promoted Full Lieutenant 2nd Class effective 31 Jan 1865, commission in Company D, 20th Infantry Regiment, Mass (note: his civilian residence is listed as NYC, NY - not Mass). Promoted Full Lieutenant 1st Class effective 22 June 1865. Mustered out 28 July 1865.

Also - George Horatio Packwood's 2nd? cousin, George Hinman Packwood, b.1833 in Louisiana, was a Capt in the Confederate Army

Many thanks for the information. It is very helpful.

Karen,
I am seeking a connection between the Shumate (various spellings) and Packwood. My late grandmother’s ( Finette Packwood Howard) mother was a Mary Elizabeth Shumate born in and of a family from TN. Before her birth in 1844 I do not know where the family of Shumates came from, not only am I seeking that information; but I am most strongly trying to find the Packwood connection.,

Researching: Howell, Isenhour, Ray, Mulford, Howard, Massey, Shumate, and Packwood,et al.

I am trying to sort out the descendants of Abishai Woodward of New London. Two of his daughters supposedly married Packwoods. One was Eliza/Anne who married Samuel Packwood in 1795. My notes are that the other was an Alithea, b. 1776 d. 1819, who married a Theodore J. Packwood.

I would be interested in sharing information on these families and other Louisiana Packwoods and descendants.

My Packwood information does not go back any further than George Horatio Packwood because of his local Florida connection. Sorry to not be of more help.

John,

I've sent you a long e-mail. Eliza Woodward and Alithea Woodward are the same person - and, to make matters more complicated, Eliza/Alithea was later 'normalized' to Alice. Anna was a sister of Eliza/Alithea/Alice. Eliza Woodward married Samuel Packwood. I don't have any additional information about Anna Woodward
