Search for Anderson Farnsworth

Search for Anderson Farnsworth, of age to be a possible soldier or scout during the Civil War era:

These possible matches were found (related only by surname and possible match for first name); specifically searched for possible "Anderson" Farnsworth, because of the prominence of that name in Murray County, Georgia (to see if any relationship to Farnsworth in a Michigan unit). There probably was no relationship at all. Also, these results are not necessarily related to the original subject of search, a Union scout named Farnsworth, but are of an age that one of them might be him. However, later research showed that the Farnsworth scouts of interest to the project being searched were George Farnsworth and Seth Farnsworth, not Anderson Farnsworth.
