Civil War Veteran: Information on Captain Silloway is scarce. He was living in Hartford when he was commissioned a Captain in Company K, 25th CT Infantry on August 20, 1862. He was mustered in with his regiment on November 11, 1862 and sent to Louisiana. The 25th became part of the 19th Corps and saw action at Baton Rouge, Brasher City, Irish Bend and the siege of Port Hudson where Captain Silloway was wounded on May 12, 1863. How severely the Captain was wounded is not known. He may or may not have been present for the 25th’s last two engagements at Brasher City and Bayou Boeuf. The regiment's 9 months service having expired, Captain Silloway returned with his regiment to Hartford where he was mustered out on August 26, 1863. Retrieving the Captain’s records from the National Archives may reveal some interesting stories and disclose the nature and severity of his wound.
