Gramling, Wilbur Wightman, 1843-1870.

Wilbur Wightman Gramling was born on March 30, 1843. At some point before the Civil War his parents, Andrew Peter Gramling and Elizabeth Gramling, moved from Madison County to Centerville, Leon County, with their five children.

Wilbur Gramling enlisted in Company K of the Fifth Florida Regiment at Tallahassee on February 20, 1862. His brother Irvin enrolled in the same unit. Gramling missed several months' service during the winter of 1862-1863 due to illness, but otherwise was present for all the pitched battles in which the Floridians participated, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.
