Co I 79th Ill Inf.
During the Civil War, Alexander Couchman enlisted as a Private with Company I, Illinois 79th Infantry Regiment on 28 Aug 1862. He mustered out 15 Apr 1863. {original posting]
During my research, I concluded, this George Couchman is not George Alexander Couchman, Find # 10631758 buried in MO. I believe he is George W Couchman born in Lawrence Co. IL. Some data is from Roots Web, which is not always reliable. Searching the Illinois State Civil War Archives, I found 2 George Couchmans;
