William F. Twibell - Captain

My great grandfather is buried at Green Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. in Section #188, Plot #14528. His headstone is a white stone with the following: Wm. F. Twibell, Captain,
84th N.Y.S.M., May 11, 1886.
From the source:' New York:' Report of the Adjutant-General Abbreviation: NY Roster published by/on 1894-1906 it states:
William F. Twibill (note: name is misspelled ) 84th Inf. Reg. NY Enlistment Date: 18 April 1861,Place: Brooklyn,NY, Rank,Private, Age:25
15 August 1861 Full Sergt.
18 June 1862 2nd Lieut.
10 February 1863 Captain
06 June 1864 mustered out at New York, NY
His regiment was also known as the 14th Brooklyn Regiment,the the Fourteenth Regiment and the Brooklyn Chasseurs.
He was wounded twice: His two documented Casualty Sheets are 1) On August 30,1862 at Manassas, VA(2nd Bull Run)and 2) On May 10, 1864 at Laurel Hill, VA. Both state that the nature of casualty was 'WOUNDED'.
I am in possesion of the original regimental book titled The History of the FIGHTING FOURTEENTH. This book contains the picture of my great grandfather. His last name was often recorded and misspelled by the regiment's clerks as Twibelle,or Twibill. The family name is TWIBELL.
