George P. Hoyt was a resident of Lebanon, New Hampshire. He enlisted on October 29, 1961 at the age of 19 as a Private and was mustered into Co. “C”, 7^th New Hampshire Infantry on November 6, 1861. He died of disease on December 1, 1864 at Laurel Hill, Virginia. Military records state that George died of, “disease heart”.
