George S. Brownell, 20, was killed in action 3 July 1863, protecting against the advance of Lee into Pennsylvania and against his retreat. The NY Times reported on July 30, 1863, that 19 members of the First Vermont Cavalry killed from June 24 to July 18 and 10 men of other states cavalry units were buried on the grounds of the Lutheran and Dutch Reformed Churches in Boonsboro, Maryland, where they died or were brought to the regimental hospital in the church. The grounds were at Potomoc Street where Trinity Reformed Church UCC stands, Trinity Lutheran Church having built a separate church down the road.
Five members of the 8th Illinois Cavalry were disinterred in 1867 and interred at graves 1-5 Section A7 at Antietam National Cemetery. No one from 1st Cav were disinterred. It appears that George Brownell's remains are still there.
