John A. Chrismond, a barber, was born in Alexandria, Virginia. He enlisted in Company "D" of the 7th Maryland Infantry at Baltimore on 10 Nov 1862 and then deserted 11 June 1863. It appears he was arrested in Washington, D. C. in Nov 1863. He might have also been in the 7th New Jersey Infantry early on, unless that is an error. However, he ultimately joined Company "A" of the 12th West Virginia at Harper's Ferry in Dec 1863. He lost his life at New Market on May 15, 1864. [His Service Record lacks details and contains conflicts, and the complete pension file was not obtained.]
The wife of John A. Chrismond was Mary Finley, whom he married on May 11/12, 1857 at Arlington, Virginia.
At the time of the 1860 Federal Census, John and Mary Chrismond lived in Alexandria, Virginia with their son, Arthur, age 2.
