Pvt. John G. Apgar
The image at left was found inside an 1860s photo album purchased in Syracuse N.Y. about 15 years ago. The album probably belonged to a member of the Moe or Pierce family of Groton, N.Y. Its third page has a very well-labeled key in which the names of the subjects of the photographs are written in period ink. Most of the people in the album have the surnames of Moe or Pierce. However, there are several images of people with different names who are likely family friends or neighbors.
This particular image is listed in the album as "John Apgar." Because of the Groton & Ithaca NY provenance of nearly every photo in the album, we believe we have made a positive identification of this man as John G. Apgar of Company C of the 76th NY Infantry.
