Research File 42: John N. Waitt, 13th Mass, Co B Probable
Inscription: "John Waitt / Co B 13 Mass

Location: From NE Corner south 28 inches, up 53 inches. (Picture???
This regiment was active in the pursuit of Jackson in spring 1862 and was likely present in Winchester after First Kernstown, March 23, 1862. This would have been a federal occupation, it is possible the regiment simply took up temporary quarters in the courthouse.
Military Record: Yes
Pension Record: No record found
