Lt. George Simpson became surgeon of the 62nd New York in
July 1861. At the time of Chancellorsville (May 1863) he was acting as brigade
surgeon in 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, Sixth Corps under
General Wheaton. Wheaton said of Surgeon George Simpson, “My
acting brigade
surgeon, Dr. G. D. F. Simpson, of the Sixty-second New York, though anxious to
be with his brigade on the field, was detailed for duty at the division
hospital, where he rendered the same faithful service he has always done in
every battle in which this brigade has been engaged.” He joined the 8th NY
Cavalry as assistant
surgeon towards the end of the war but was never apparently mustered in as
such.
