Bransinger, John*
Alternate Surname Spellings: Brensinger, Brinsinger
Term of Service: 22 February 1864 – 25 December 1865
Rank: Private
* Note: John Bransinger appears not to have been a member of Company A but, instead, was a member of the 47th Pennsylvania’s Company G. (The rosters of Samuel Bates’ History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5 are confusing on this point, indicating that a “John Brinsinger” enlisted in Company A, but was not on A company’s muster-out roster. However, this soldier’s pension record and Pennsylvania Veteran’s Burial Card show that he was a member of Company G at the time of muster out. Bates’ rosters also indicate that this soldier was a Veteran Volunteer. So, it is possible that John Bransinger enlisted with Company A, but transferred to Company G – or that Bransinger initially enlisted with an entirely different regiment, and then transferred to the 47th. (There is a John Brensinger shown on the Bates’ rosters as having enlisted in Company H, 176th Pennsylvania Infantry on 3 November 1862. That John Brensinger mustered out 2 June 1863.) What is certain is that a John Bransinger mustered out with one of the 47th’s companies when the entire 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers mustered out at Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865.

Term of Service: 5 January 1864 – 25 December 1865 (mustered out with regiment)
Rank: Private
* Note: John Bush appears not to have been a member of Company A but, instead, was a member of the 47th Pennsylvania’s Company I. (The rosters of Samuel Bates’ History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5 are confusing on this point, indicating that a “John Bush” enlisted in Company A, but was not on A company’s muster-out roster. However, this soldier’s Pennsylvania Veteran’s Burial Card shows that he was a member of Company I at the time of muster out.)

* Note: The roster of men from Company A of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was created by Samuel Bates for his History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5, indicated that “Henry Everett” was “Absent, on furlough, at muster out.” Two documents seem to contradict this. The 1890 U.S. Veterans Schedule indicates that Everett officially mustered out on 25 December 1865. And both Everett and his widow applied for Henry’s Civil War Pension, the collection of which would very likely have been prevented had Henry been absent without leave.

Term of Service: 20 February 1864 – 25 December 1865 (captured by Confederate troops while caring for his wounded brother during the Battle of Cedar Creek, and held as a prisoner of war first at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia before being transported to and held at the Confederate’s Salisbury POW camp in North Carolina; survived and mustered out with regiment)
Rank: Private
Honors/Service Distinctions: Escaped being wounded in action during the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia 19 October 1864 when the cartridge box he was wearing blocked a Confederate bullet from entering his body. His brother, Corporal Amandus Sandt (also of A Company), however, was wounded during this same engagement (struck in the hip by a bullet). In order to save his brother’s life, Private Edwin Sandt and other members of the 47th Pennsylvania helped to carry Corporal Amandus Sandt from the field to the rear of the Union’s lines while under Confederate fire. Although several members of the litter group were felled by the enemy, Private Edwin Sandt and others survived, and were able to move Corporal Amandus Sandt to the safety of a cellar in a nearby house. Private Edwin Sandt then stayed with his brother, administering medical attention while the fighting raged around them until Confederate troops captured the house where they were hiding. Deeming Corporal Amandus Sandt too critically ill to move, the Confederate soldiers left him behind while taking Private Edwin Sandt prisoner. After being held initially as a prisoner of war at the Confederate Army’s Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, Private Edwin Sandt was then transferred to the Confederate prison camp at Salisbury, North Carolina, where he was held as a POW until being released. After receiving medical treatment, he then returned to his regiment, and continued to serve with his regiment until it was officially mustered out on 25 December 1865. (For details about what happened to his brothers, Amandus and Peter, see their listings elsewhere on this page.)

According to the U.S. Veterans’ Schedule of 1890, which documented Civil War soldiers receiving U.S. Civil War Pensions, Seibert mustered in during May of 1862, and mustered out 9 months later in February 1863 due to disability (“Rheumatismus”).
