Hi Wikitreers,
There is a good article by the NEHS Seeing the Elephant: Lewis and George Bisbee
The Maine Bisbee cousins in the U.S. Civil War
Any collaboration in connecting this Civil War Veteran is appreciated
”Lewis Child Bisbee enlisted as a private in Company I, 16th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, in Augusta on Aug. 20, 1862.”
”George Dana Bisbee enlisted at the same time in Company C in the same regiment.”
P.s. he didn’t have a Wikitree profile surprisingly when researched

Addendum: both cousins at The Battle of Gettysburg were captured and sent to Libby Prison in Richmond as P.O.W.’s
Andrew: I got him connected. While he doesn't have the greatest profile, his father Hannibal was already on WikiTree and connected. Roger
P.S. The relationship is shown by the 1850 Census:
