It is SUSPECTED that Amariah's parents may be David REED and Mary (Polly) PALMER. Amariah's wife's (Elizabeth BUTERBAUGH) sister - Sarah Ann BUTERBAUGH - married David Palmer REED, the son of David REED and Mary (Polly) PALMER. As it was not uncommon for brothers and sisters to marry their sibling's in-laws, this may be the case in this instance. To see this family tree, click on the name of David REED or Mary (Polly) PALMER.
The earliest record found on Amariah is that recording him working on the farm of John E. BUTERBAUGH, whose daughter he married, in 1850. He was recorded in the 1860 census as a lay Methodist minister and was also a farmer. Amariah enlisted as a Private in Company G of the 67 Pennsylvania Infantry on 16 September 1862 for a bounty of $25 and a premium of $4. He was listed as being 5 ft. 8 1/2 inches tall with blue eyes and black hair; his occupation was given as shoemaker. Along with most of his regiment, Amariah was captured at the Battle of Winchester on 15 June 1863 by General Ewell and was confined at Richmond, VA nine days later. He was "passed" at City Point, VA on 19 July 1863. Along with many in his regiment, he was initially listed as a deserter or AWOL from August through December 1863, although later muster records said this was incorrect. From September 1864 through May 26, 1865, Amariah was recorded as being in hospital in Baltimore or Philadelphia. His family had no idea whether he was alive or dead until they saw him climbing over a fence in front of the house.
