The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion (
MSHWR) lists this soldier's name as Christopher Beninger; however
The American Civil War Research Database (
ACWRD) has no record of a soldier by this name. The
ACWRD does list a Christopher Barrenger. Information (i.e., age and regiment information) in these records indicate that they refer to the same soldier.
Barrenger's birth date range is calculated based on his age given at time of enlistment. Barrenger was 25 when he enlisted on 13 May 1861.
