George Washington Sandoe (c. 1842–1863) was recorded in the 1860 census of Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, as George W. Sandoe, age 17, born in Pennsylvania. He was listed in the household of Rebecca Sandoe. Cemetery and derivative genealogy records identify him as George Washington Sandoe, son of Edwin and Rebecca Sandoe. He is documented as having died at Gettysburg on 26 June 1863 and as having served in Union cavalry or local emergency service. A Gettysburg National Cemetery burial is a strong but unconfirmed cemetery identification.
