Co. D 130th Regt. Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry

In 1860, Thaddeus Donnelly was a moulder living in Southampton Township, Franklin County, and stood 5' 4" with light hair and gray eyes

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Shippensburg August 4, 1862, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 10 as a private with Co. D, 130th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was shot in the right side below the ribs at the battle of Antietam September 17, 1862, and furloughed home for treatment because, as one comrade alleged, "There was no place on the battlefield for the treatment of wounded soldiers." He returned to duty in December 1862 but forwarded to Washington December 16 among a group of convalescents. Therefore, it is not known if he fought at Fredericksburg. He was honorably discharged with his company May 21, 1863.

Throughout his pension papers, he signed his last name "Donely."
