The Michigan Adjutant General's records list this man as Robert Doty. O. B. Curtis, the Regiment's historian, consistently refers to him as Albert Doty. Since Curtis seems to be a more reliable source, I will refer to him as Albert.
Albert Doty was from Grosse Point, and enlisted as a recruit in company F, March 8, 1864 for 3 years. He was much older than many of the boys of '62; he was 39. Albert was mustered into service on March 9, 1864, and joined the Regiment at Culpepper, Virginia on April 19, 1864.
Although not one of the original members of the Regiment, he saw hard fighting during Grant's Overland Campaign of 1864. Not many of the details of his service are known. Presumably he did his duty.
Tragically, Albert Doty died of disease at Camp Butler, Springfield, Illinois, March 30, 1865. Originally buried at Camp Butler cemetery, grave number 466. His remains have since been moved to the Springfield National Cemetery.
He was probably related in some fashion to another 1864 recruit, Abel Doty.
