Patrick Moran

(c. 1834 - ?)

Before Antietam

From Knox County, IN, he enlisted in Vincennes, IN and mustered on 7 June 1861 as a Private in Company G, 14th Indiana Infantry.

On the Campaign

He was wounded by a gunshot to his left arm in action at Antietam on 17 September 1862.

The rest of the War

He was admitted to US Army General Hospital #4 in Frederick, MD on 22 September and transferred to Washington, DC on 25 September 1862. He mustered out with his company on 6 June 1864 in Indianapolis, IN.

After the War

He was briefly a resident of the Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers at Dayton, OH from October 1878 to March 1879 and again in January and February 1880, but apparently received a large sum in past-due pension and "deserted" the Home and was later refused re-admission. He was probably a resident of Cincinnati, OH afterward.
