The son of John & Elizabeth Bachinger, in 1860 he was a sieve maker living with his brother Paul in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 9" tall and had dark hair and gray eyes. He married Pennsylvania-born Elizabeth Hatz, Hartz or Hertz ca. 1860 in Lancaster and fathered the children you see linked below.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-four in Lancaster August 8, 1864, and mustered into federal service there August 12 as a private with Co. E, 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry (113th Pennsylvania). He is not found in the muster-out roll, and further research is in the offing to determine his final status with the army. According to the 1863 draft registration, his brother Paul enlisted as a substitute, then deserted, but no military records for him have yet been located.
By 1870, he was living with his family in Danville, Montour County, where he died at his home from "cirrhosis of liver."
