The 1860 census (FamilySearch ark:/61903/1:1:MDH2-W6H) shows George W. Morrill, age 32, still in his parents’ household (David Morrill, Rebecca Drew) alongside an unidentified ‘Elizabeth Morrill’ (19) and an infant ‘Emma Morrill’ (1). This is NOT asserted as Mary E. Groves (his eventual wife, married 1858 per the family’s own marriage record) or their first child Emma F. Morrill (b. 23 Mar 1859) — the identity of ‘Elizabeth’ is unresolved and flagged here only as an open question for a future researcher.[5]
George Morrill enlisted as a Private on 13 October 1862 at the age of 34 in Company K, 28th Infantry Regiment Maine. He was “arrested” 1 December 1862 at Augusta, Maine. It is not clear from the records what this means, as he is also listed has transferring into Company E, 24th Infantry Regiment Maine on 11 November 1862 and mustering out on 25 August 1863. [6]
