Most records show James as "James Harvey Hanselpecker." This James was listed twice for enlisting in the US Civil War. He apparently was born in St John County, New Brunswick, and moved south to fight. His daughter Sarah Hanselpecker/packer b. Whitefield, NH, had a daughter born in Jefferson, NH, where it appears James eventually settled. Enlisted April 14, 1862, in the (1st?) Maine Light/Mounted Artillery, Sixth Battery. After being "discharged for disability February 23, 1863" as James H. Hanselpecker, he RE-enlisted as James H. Hanselpaker on 16-May-1863, again in Maine, but for a different regiment (7TH Maine Infantry, Company F, with a subsequent transfer to Company G). He MAY be related, somehow, to Charles Hanselpecker, who enlisted in 1864, in Maine, as well. Were either James or Charles somehow related to William who was listed in the 1860 Maine Census? Also have a little conflict showing him transferring to Company K, vice Company G, showing he was discharged from Company K 1st Vet Inf Reg (Maine) on 28-Jun-1865.
James Harvey appears in the New Hampshire Census of 1890, as living in Jefferson Township in Coos County, appearing on the NH 1890 Veterans Schedule. In what appears to be August of 1878, James applied for his Civil War pension in the state of New Hampshire. His application number is 207,159, his certificate number is 203,772. He denoted his units as "F 1 Maine L.A." and "?. ?. & K 7, Me. Inf., K 1 Me Lght Inf." (or, as close to that in readability as I can offer).
Here is how it's listed through ancestry.com:
James H Hanselpecker
Residence: St John, New Brunswick Occupation:
Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 14 April 1862 at the age of 25
Enlisted in 6th Light Artillery Regiment Maine on 14 April 1862.
POW on 09 August 1862 at Cedar Mountain, VA (Paroled)
Wounded on 09 August 1862 at Cedar Mountain, VA
Received a disability discharge 6th Light Artillery Regiment Maine on 23 February 1863
RECORD #2:
James H Hanselpaker
Residence: St John, New Brunswick Occupation:
Service Record:
Enlisted as a Private on 16 May 1863 at the age of 25
Enlisted in Company F, 7th Infantry Regiment Maine on 16 May 1863.
Transferred Company F, 7th Infantry Regiment Maine on 21 August 1864
Transfered in Company K, 1st Vet Infantry Regiment Maine on 21 August 1864.
Mustered out Company K, 1st Vet Infantry Regiment Maine on 28 June 1865
His residence in St John when enlisting and that being his place of birth make me think he may be related more directly to the likes of Harry Hanselpaker (died at sea) and Charles, who also enlisted in war from Maine, though further south.
In the 1880 Census for Whitefield, New Hampshire, this is how James' "household" looked:
James H. Hanselpacker, 41, HoH, b. NB, Occ: In Saw Mill, Fa: NB, Mo: NB
Clara C. Hanselpacker, 41, wife, b. ME, Occ: Keeping House Fa: ME, Mo: ME
Eleanor Hanselpacker, 9, dau. b. ME, Occ: At School, Fa: NB, Mo: ME (same for all children)
Henry H. Hanselpacker, 7, son, b. ME, Occ: At School
Charles W. Hanselpacker, 6, son, b. ME, Occ: At School
Sarah H. Hanselpacker, 4, dau. b. NH
Alice M. Hanselpacker, 1, dau. b. NH
This indicates that James & family moved from Maine to NH, sometime around 1875 +/- a year.
It also helps to solidify any possibilities of connections to Charles (likely a brother - as a son so named) and Harry (May be the Henry, James' son???) St John connection also leads further to possibility of connection to the family on Waterloo and/or White Streets in 1870's Hutchinson directories.

VERY curious about listing of Germany as place of birth, and can only think it a mistake?
Of note: The Battle of Cedar Mountain (aka "Slaughter" Mountain, part of the 2nd Manassas Campaign) on 9-Aug-1862, has some historical significance. It is known as the only time during the war the CSA General Stonewall Jackson drew his sword, to rally his troops who had started to feel defeated. General A.P. Hill's troops arrived just in time at the front lines to push back a Union advance. This turned the tide of the battle, which was won by the Confederate troops. Cedar Mountain and Cedar Run are located near Culpepper, VA.
Cedar Mountain battlefield, on Route 15 between Orange and Culpeper, is privately owned property.
On that day, the unit James' was attached to was the 6th Battery, Maine Light Artillery, under Captain Freeman McGilvery, who reported to the head of II Corps Artillery for the day, Captain Clermont L. Best. The II Corps was led by Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Prentiss Banks, who was under the command of Maj. General John Pope, Union Forces, Army of Virginia, Commanding.
B&W Picture is actually Cedar Mountain during the time of the Civil War.

[1827] Based on research of a Holder family member, there is reason to believe John was baptized in the parish of St. Mary Le Bow, not Marylebone parish (as other records have apparently indicated). Apparently, John and his mother, Sybilla, came to the "colonies" around 1707-1710, she having earlier been made separate of her husband Reu/Rem. They settled in Newburgh, NY, which is where John married his wife, Barbara.
