From his Find-A Grave memorial:
Harrison Tillinghast, son of George W. Tillinghast and Mary Ann Chapman, was born in Florida, on September 1, 1840, and was killed at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862. He enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant on May 10, 1861 in Company F, 2nd Florida Infantry Regiment. Harrison was promoted to 1st Lieutenant on May 11, 1862. He was wounded at Seven Pines, Virginia, on May 31, 1862. He was promoted to Captain, posthumously, on October 10, 1862. He is not buried in Riverside, but a stone marks his memory.
Harrison was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at the University of Virginian in 1860. When his parents died, he left school and came home to Florida. He mustered in as Second Lieutenant and was wounded in action at the Battle of Seven Pines. He replaced Captain Pooser who was killed June 1, 1862. At Sharpsburg he was lost in the battle and presumed dead.
In the Maryland Campaign the 2nd Florida was brigaded under General Roger Pryor with the 8th Florida, 14th Alabama and the 3rd Virginia. This brigade was one of six brigades in the division of Richard Anderson. At Antietam the regiment had six men killed and 43 wounded. How Captain Tillinghast is not known, but his fraternity records that his body was never recovered.
