He was born in Ireland (6). He was 42 years old when he was enlisted (6, 4 [74 in 1880], 7 [64 in 1870]).
He was 6 feet tall, and had a light complexion, grey eyes, and grey hair (6).
He was enlisted and mustered into service on 30 October 1861 (1, 6). He was enlisted for three years, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Colonel Burr (?) (6). He was mustered in as a private in company H (1). He had gun number 59 (6).
He was discharged at camp near Falmouth, Virginia, on 20 March 1863 on surgeon's certificate of disability (1, 3 [no date], 5, 6).
According to the pension index, he also served in company D of the 21st Veterans' Reserve Corps (2, 8).
In 1870, he was living in Hickory Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Eliza, and several children (7). (I suspect Charles, Mary, and Theodore are their children, and that Sydney is Theodore's wife, and Milly [?] and Percy and Theodore and Sydney's children.) He was a bookkeeper, and owned personal property worth $500 (7).
In 1880, a David Agnew was living in Sharpsville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Eliza C, and their children Charles E (34 years old, born West Virginia), and Mary M (28 years old, born Pennsylvania) (4). He was a bookkeeper (4).
He died on 13 July 1888 (8).
His widow, Eliza Agnew, applied successfully for a pension on 13 August 1890 (2, 8).
