Surnames: Wiltsie, Brownell
While researching the Civil War veterans of Pittsford, NY, I came across the grave of George B. Wiltsie. George was born c 1837, possibly in Duanesberg, NY, to Thomas and Rachel Brownell Wiltsie. He served in Battery H of the 4th NY Heavy Artillery, and died in 1865 due to exposure during his time as a POW.

George and his family have been located in the 1850 and 1860 census records. I've also found his name on a monument at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Fairport, NY and in holdings of the Perinton Historical Society. I am very interested in finding out more information about George B. Wiltsie and his family, and would specifically love to see a photo of him.

Thanks for any help you are able to give me.
