Notes
a. Note:   The 13th Regiment of the West Virginia Infantry was organized in October of 1862, when William W. Whitteker began his service in the Union Army. Within only a few months, he was injured by a box falling on his leg and dislocating his knee; and was discharged with a disability in March of 1863. He was crippled by this dislocation. He was even listed on one of his childrens' death certificates as "Bent" Whittaker under name of father.
  During his service, the 13th Regiment served in the Kanawha Valley, mostly doing guard duty and scouting. After his discharge, the Regiment went on to fight in many skirmishes and eventually fought in the Battle of Lexington and the Battle of Lynchburg. They displayed conspicuous gallantry in the Battle of Winchester, Virginia.
  After his service, his life only lasted until he was 47 years old. He died of tuberculosis as stated in the application for widow's pension by his wife, Virginia High Whittaker. He is buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery at Portsmouth Ohio, in the Soldiers' Circle, Section A, Row 4, Grave 9.
