(Bigler) McNair, in 1860 he was a farmer presumably living in Freedom Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, although he is not found in that census and some of his family was living just across the state line in Frederick County, Maryland. He stood 5' 8" tall and had dark hair and blue eyes. A Civil War veteran, he enlisted either in Gettysburg or Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland (both reported), August 27, 1861, and mustered into federal service at Emmitsburg September 9 as a private with Co. C, 1st Maryland Potomac Home Brigade Cavalry. He was wounded in the left lung at Leesburg, Virginia, September 2, 1862, and shortly thereafter captured in a hospital at Frederick, Maryland. He returned to duty and used his own horse and equipment for which he received a $.40 daily stipend. Wounded again during mid-1863, he was then captured January 1, 1864, at Wood Grove, Virginia, losing his horse. Either he escaped or was paroled unusually early because he returned to duty, promoted to corporal January 14, 1864, and re-enlisted as a Veteran Volunteer February 13, 1864, at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, again supplying his horse. Wounded and captured yet again at New Market, Virginia, May 13, 1864, he once more either escaped or paroled that day as he is listed as sick in a hospital at Emmitsburg shortly thereafter. He then transferred to Chestnut Hill U.S. Hospital in Philadelphia where he discharged the service by surgeon's certificate to date January 7, 1865. His brother Hiram Scott McNair served in the same company. He married Mary Antoinette Moritz ca. 1871 and fathered the children you see linked below. In 1890, he was living in Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland.
