Part of Pennsylvania Emergency Militia Muster of June 1863. Enlisted Pine Grove Mills or Graysville and muster in in Huntingdon, PA Camp Juniata, June 30, 1863 with PA Infantry Militia 46th Regiment Co.A. Oral tradition and anecdotal recollections say they left Huntingdon and marched double time to Gettysburg. Arriving sometime July 2, 1863.
