The 27th Maine Volunteers
David S Barrows
1st Sergt, Company A, Age 23 From Saco
DAVID S BARROWS was born circa 1839 [based on census and enlistment ages], perhaps the son of David and Abigail Barrows. He died on 15 Sept, 1880 at age 41 yrs, and is buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Saco, Maine in plot with David, Abigail and many other Barrows' names [YCCI pg 1537]. Gravestone mentions his service with the 5th ME, but not the 27th.
David was listed as single when he enlisted with the 27th ME, and still unclear whether or not he did marry.
David is seen as an operative in a mill on the 1860 Saco census, living with 'parents' David and Abigail at age 21. I've failed to locate him in 1870+1880 censuses, and I don't find him in the Civil War Pension Index.
He first enlisted into the 5th ME Infantry on 24 June, 1861 at age 22 as a 2nd Lieut. He was promoted to Full Captain around the 15th of Jan, 1862, but afterwards resigned on the 20th. He then reenlisted on 30 Sept into the 27th Maine Infantry as a 1st Sergt., at age 23, and served the full 9-month service with this regiment, which ended on 17 July, 1863. He thirdly enlisted on 12 Jan, 1864 into the 30th ME Infantry as a captain of Company H. On 1 Jan, 1865 he moved to Company A. He mustered out on 20 Aug, 1865 in Savannah, GA.
