Can you find any information on a Civil War Soldier named Peter Smith!?!?
I am trying to help someone find some information on a soldier named Peter Smith who served during the American Civil War. I know that he was in the Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was in the Ringold Battalion. Apparenty he was a Prisoner at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia and that he was let free after he did a favor for the Guard. He is supposed to have benn at Gettysburg after the action was over. Can you please find some information on Peter Smith,wether it comes in the form of documents, letters,etc. I know that it will be a little difficult because of the common name. I will appreciate any help. THANK YOU!
Additional info on Peter Smith, Ringgold Battalion (2 “g”s in the battalion’s name, apparently):
From: Military: Civil War: Twenty-second PA Cavalry Rgt, PA Volunteers: Washington Co, PA
http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/washington/military/22dcavrgt.txt
Peter Smith, discharged by General Order May 24, 1865.
The Ringgold Battalion was apparently part of The Twenty-Second Pennsylvania
Cavalry – Company A, according to info I found.
According to the info here:
http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.cfm
he was a Private throughout his service, working as a teamster in Company G of the 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry, which was the Lafayette Cavalry, not the Ringgold Battalion. Here is a link to a transcription of the Lafayette Cavalry muster roll with Peter Smith, Private:
http://www.pa-roots.com/pacw/cavalry/22ndcav3yrs/22ndcavcog3yrs.html
His muster in date (into Co. G, 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry) was October 22, 1862, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The Twenty-Second Pennsylvania Cavalry was also called the 185th Pennsylvania Regiment. If you wish to read more about the 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry, here is a link to full text from

starting on page 353.
The Civil War veteran Peter Smith may be the one buried in Beallsville Cemetery, Beallsville, Penn.:

… and:
http://www.beallsvillecemetery.org/Ringgold_Cavalry/000_Veteran_Burial_index.html
(Atho’ the 2nd entry for the Peter Smith grave in Beallsville Cem. states he was in the 22nd Penn. Cav., Co. B. Birth year: 1810; Death year: 1900.)
If the burial info is correct, this link might be to a photo of Peter Smith and his 2nd wife Helen:

A transcribed death record for Peter Smith (b. 1810; d. 1900, Civil War veteran) is here, in case that is the correct Peter Smith:
