He was born in Wayne County, Indiana and was the son of Jacob Addleman and Mahala Starbuck. He was a resident of Fairview county, Indiana at the time he enlisted. He enlisted at the age of 22 and was described as "5 ft. 9 inches tall with grey-blue eyes, a light complexion, and light hair." He was a member of Whitewater Lodge No. 159 Free and Accepted Masons at Hillsboro.
The regiment lost over 60 men who died of disease during the winter of 1861-1862. One of these men was Sgt. Addleman. He died in a hospital at Washington, D. C. Andrew's cousins in Captain Dudley's Company B, Privates Joseph and Jacob Addleman, took his death very hard.
