Thomas B. Monks

Captain

Resigned 16 October 1862 on account of failing health. He was the son of a Methodist preacher and father of a physician. "After recovering his health he became a contractor, and later a merchant. Subsequently he was made cashier of the bank at Tidioute, Pa., and while occupying that position was appointed postmaster. He also served as deputy sheriff. Having studied civil engineering in his youth, he put his knowledge of that profession to use throughout his life. When death claimed him, he was a resident of Kansas City, Mo., dying from the results of a fall while he was superintending some work for which he had a contract." -- p. 953, Armstrong County, Pa., Her People, Past and Present, J.H. Beers & Co., 1914. See also Armstrong County, Pennsylvania: Her People Past and Present from the Historic Pittsburgh Full-Text Collection.

William Plunkett Maclay

1st Sergeant, 2d Lieutenant, Captain

Maclay never was promoted in rank beyond Captain, but after Lieutenant Colonel Hull was mortally wounded at Spottsylvania Court House, Maclay assumed command of the regiment. Mustered out with company, 13 July 1864.
Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 20; Occupation: Carpenter; Residence: Clarion Co.; Hair: Sandy; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'11 1/2". Name is listed McClay, with a note that rolls show name as Maclay.
Maclay was born on 4 May 1841 in the town of Hartleton, Union County, Pa. After the war, Captain Maclay moved to the western United States, but he filed an invalid pension in Pennsylvania in 1881. There is no record of wife or children.
Alternate spellings of the nast name are M'Clay and McClay. Plunkett is also spelled Plunket.
Maclay came from a distinguished family. His father was a judge and his grandfather and great uncle were both United States Senators -- his great uncle (along with Robert Morris) was Pennsylvania's very first Senator. More on the Maclays can be found on Ken Westcott's Family names page includes six William Plunket Maclays.

Benjamin Huey
portrait of 1st Lt. Ben Huey

1st Lieutenant

Resigned 6 November 1861, but re-enlisted 8 August 1862, transferring to Company K, 155th P.V., where he began as 1st Lieutenant, but was promoted to Captain. Under the Maltese Cross indicates he transferred to the 155th 2 July 1864 with the other soldiers of the 62d whose terms had not expired. The book also indicates that Huey, as captain was well liked by the men of Company K. Huey lived in Pennsylvania and Kansas after the war. He died in or before 1901. His widow was Christina K. Huey.
Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 23; Occupation: Farmer; Residence: Clarion Co.; Hair: Light; Eyes: Brown; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5' 11 1/2" Remarks: Resigned 11-6-61 then re-joined. Trans. & Mustered out with Company K 155th P. V. as Capt. [From K - 155 I card]: Prom. from 1st Lut. to Capt. 2/16/65 Commanded Co. since 1/22/65 Trans. from 62nd P.V.I. 7/3/64
It is clear from letters from Major William Gustin Lowry that there was a medical reason for Huey's resignation. In one letter Gust notes " Ben is one of the best of fellows And I was very sorry to have him leave but he was not able to be of any service here and is better at home." In a letter to Ben before he re-enlisted in the 155th, Gust advised him, "If I were you, without there would seem to be a great necessity I would not enter the service again because you have lost a great deal now and would lose still more to come away again. And it is not likely that you would have better health than you had before."
Last name spelled Hughey in the 1860 Census for Piney Township, Clarion County, where Benjamin is listed as 22 year old teamster living. He and his wife Christina were then living with his parents.

William Gustin Lowry

2d Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Major (of regiment)

Promoted to 1st Lieut. on 12 November 1861. Promoted to Major of the regiment, 10 September 1862; Killed at Gettysburg, 2 July 1863. Buried in National Cemetery, sec. B, grave 26.
Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 26; Occupation: Clerk; Residence: Clarion Co.; Hair: Brown; Eyes: Gray; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'8 1/2"
Lowry was born in Pennsylvania and was a 25 year old clerk living in Piney Township, Clarion County, at the time of the 1860 census. In the census record William G. Lowry is listed in a household of John Patton Lyon, who had established a charcoal iron furnace. Six family members and seven additional unrelated individuals of both sexes are listed, so room and board may have been part of Lowry's wages as clerk. He was brother of Corporal Robert A. Lowry.
He got married in the middle of the war. 12 February 12 1863. As a Major, it must have been easier for him to get away, either on furlough or on a recruiting mission. His widow identfiied herself as Mattie S. Lowry, but I don't know what here maiden name was or if she was a girl from back home. In letters early in the war, he asked his sister to send his love to Kate Myers, who I believe was the sister of Private William H. Myers, but there is no mention of anyone named Mattie until after they were married. His first reference to her is from 14 March 1863: "Mattie will be in Clarion Co in April. She is in Saltsburg now." Where that means she was from Indiana County or just visiting Indiana County I don't know.
From his letters home, now available online through the Library at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, we get some great insight to the mind of a soldier, especially early in the war. Although he wrote about his disagreements with other officers, a malicious report filed against him, sufferings in camp of ill health, the mud, and complaints about no pay for four months, the letters are surprisingly positive. In his letters home, he signed his name Gus and Gust.

John E. Myers

1st Sergeant, 1st Lieutenant, Adjutant (of regiment)

Killed at Spottsylvania Court House, 12 May 1864; Buried at Wilderness burial ground [Fredericksburg National Cemetery].

Pro to Adjt. 6-20-63. Killed in Action at Laurel Hill, Va. 5-13-64. (Burried [sic] in Wilderness Burial Ground. Bates) [last name spelled Myers on card]
Name spelled Meyers by Bates. Myers is name on pension index card. That his pension claim was filed by his mother would be a strong indication that he was unmarried.

Zerah Coston Monks

1st Sergeant, Sergeant, Private

Mustered in 29 August 1862. Wounded and captured at Gettysburg. Imprisoned in Richmond, Virginia, and Camp Parole, Maryland.
Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 21 [No additional personal information provided]; Remarks: F.S.& D. L for'd. Wounded 4/1/65 at Five Forks, Va.

He was wounded on 1 April 1865 at Five Forks, Va., and discharged by general order, date unknown. He had been hospitalized in Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania until the war ended.
I have not seen them, but his papers, including war accounts through letters he exchanged with his future wife, are among the archival holdings at Emery University Library. Biographical information supplied there indicates that he was born 18 July 1841, in Curlsville. Son of the Reverend Mr. and Mrs. William Monks and brother of Capt. Thomas Monks. He married Hannah Rohrer, a schoolteacher, after the war and after a long courtship. Monks was a teacher, a carpenter, and an oil field worker. He and a brother-in-law ran a hotel and photography studio in Pithole, now a ghost town, but once, and very briefly during the oil boom, Pennsylvania's third largest city. After the oil bust, he and Hannah later moved to Vineland, NJ, and Cleveland, Ohio. He is listed as Z. Costin Monks in the 1880 Cleveland census. His wife filed for a widow's pension on 10 June 1909 from Ohio. His granddaughter Caroline Monks wrote that he made no fortune in oil.

Not listed in Bates.

10-year old Milton Goheen appears with his family in the 1850 Census for Porter Township, Clarion County. His father, David, was a farmer, and Milton was the oldest of six children.
There must have been some trouble between Goheen and Gust Lowry based on a letter Lowry wrote home: "Goheen is still around and dont swear or make any more noise than he used to, and I feel bound to say not much less."

The biggest advantage he saw in that was that he would now "have a very easy time if we march. I will not have as much to carry by 25 lbs as I used to have whitch I call a big item in my soldiering business." Date of promotion is based on wording of a letter dated 20 January 1862 that his brother sent home: "Gan & I are both well, and Gan is occupied in supporting the dignity of his / new office of 8th corporal." The accident is not mentioned in any of his brother's letters.
