Company Origins |
Recruited in Allegheny County and supplemented by a sizable number from Washington County. Company mustered in on 22 July 1861. Company K was filled from two sources. Eighth Ward Guards was a home guard unit that was the first company to join the 62d Pennsylvania, responding to Colonel Black's call on the 4th of July. The Eighth Ward Guards was large enough that not all of its number could fit into one company -- only 100 soldiers were allowed in a company in the Union Army. Most of the home guard unit became Company F, but the remaining members were assigned to Company K. The rest of Company K came from a unit called the Tower Zouaves that was recruited by Captain Alvin S. King in the city of Monongahela (Washington County). It was was originally going to serve in a loyal Virginia regiment. But after being sent to Wheeling, perhaps because it was only 35 in number, it was ordered to report to Pittsburgh and merge into Company K. Alvin S. King accepted a demotion as First Lieutenant to the consolidated company.
As a side note: the Monongahela City Council voted to appropriate $25 to assist defraying expenses of the Zouaves as it prepared to leave for Virginia, but only if it mustered 40 or more volunteers. Since it fell short of that number, the money was withheld.
A history written for the Monongahela City centennial identifies the following individuals as members of "The Battalion from Monongahela City": Alvin King (1st Lt.), James A. McGrew (Sgt), Moses Arthurs, John Boyd, John B. Baker, Thomas Canfield, Elijah Crall, Joseph W. Flenneken, Joshua Fox, Charles Gibbs, William Gibbs, Meshech Haywood, James Maloy, Robert Milby, Theodore McCain, Jefferson McClean, Thomas McElroy, William Stoops, Thomas Orr Scott, Carr Truxall, Lewis Workman, Cyrus Workman. [Note: this source incorrectly identifies Company K as Company D, so I don't know how trustworthy it is on other details.].
The History of Washington County, by Alfred Creigh (1871), which notes that the company was "originally Co. B, now Co. K," includes a different listing of names of soldiers in the 62d hailing from Washington County. The differences are one indication that the Tower Zouaves, the Battalion from Monongahela City, and the eventual Washington County recruits from the 62d were not one and the same. Here is the list (with this annotation for the letters in red: W= Wounded; K= Killed ):
Al. King, 1st Lieutenant, W.
Corporals—T. R. Scott, G. T. Deems, G. M. Coulter.
Privates—M. Arthur, J. B. Baker, H. Koontz, H. S. Koontz, E. Crall, Josiah Fox, K.; Wm. Gibbs, Charles Gibbs, K. ; M. Hayward,W.; Wm. Henning, James Heines, J. Maloy, J. P. Mouk, K. ; T. McKean, Wm. McCormick, Thomas McElroy, James McGrew, G. W. McKinley, Jefferson McClain, J. T. McMillan, T. Patterson, R. Simpkins, K; W. H. Stoops, W. C. Todd, K; R. Whittaker, K; R. Wilby, K; S. Workman, K.; M. Workman, Silas Wright, John Young.
The Veteran Reserve Corps, originally called the Invalid Corps, was the military body to which soldiers were transferred when they were not healthy enough to be sent back to their original unit, but not sick or disabled enough to be sent home.

Alexander W. McDonald |
Captain |
Mustered in at Pittsburgh. Wounded during Peninsular Campaign as indicated by his being listed on the register of Sick and Wounded Prisoners of War from Pennsylvania Delivered on Parole at City Point, Va., July 19, 1862, signed by Jas. D. Cullen, Chief Surgeon of General Longstreet's Corps, C. S. A. Remarks indicated his wound was "Thigh." General Order No. 118 of the War Department Adjutant General's Office, signed 27 August 1862, lists officers of the United States service who have been exchanged as prisoners of war for prisoners taken in arms against the United States, including Captain Alexander McDonald for Captain H.G. Trader.... Resigned 16 December 1862. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 32; Occupation: Gentleman; Residence: Allegheny County; Hair: Brown; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'8" Remarks: Resigned 12-16-62 While in winter quarters near Falls Church, Virginia, drilling and waiting to see action, McDonald must have received notice of the death of his daughter Alice. On 17 November 1861, he penned a poem that serves as a fine epithet for not just his daughter but many of the volunteers serving with Captain McDonald who did not survive the end of the war. "Lines suggested by the death of my daughter Alice." Died 26 February 1869. Buried in Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Lawrenceville, Pa. Thanks to Kelly Hansen, of London, Ontario, the current owner of the poem for his persmission to post a copy on this site. Thanks also to Brent Wiancko for notifying me of his existence and other students at Huron University College, London, Ontario, for transcribing it. The original is found in the college's archives. |

Census records and some other documentation suggest a connection to the Stimple family who owned the largest tannery in Western Pennsylvania before the war, but Henry's occupation as steam engineer, not tanner, somewhat contradicts the connection. |

Census records indicate that Montgomery and Samuel were not brothers and may not have been related. The 1860 Census for Allegheny City, Ward 1, includes a family of eight Cooks including brothers Montgomery and Samuel Cook. All but the youngest daughter were born in Ireland. Montgomery (aged 17) and Samuel (aged 19) were both listed as painters, as were the father and one older brother. The 1860 Census for Duquesne lists Samuel Cook, aged 15, employed as a nail feeder (?). He was born in Pennsylvania, as was his mother. His father was born in Maryland. Samuel of Company K is clearly the second individual, not brother of Montgomery. |

Harvey L. Coonce |
Died 9 December 1861. Buried in Military Asylum Cemetery, D.C. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866 [under Coonce, Harvey]: Age at Enrollment: 21; Occupation: Farmer; Residence: Venango County; Hair: Fair; Eyes: Dark; Complexion: Dark; Height: 5'11" Bates lists surname as Coonce, but Koontz appears to be the more common spelling. H. and H. S. Koontz are listed in the History of Washington County. Even if residence was listed as Venango County in the CWVCF, the 1860 Census has no listing for anyone named Coonce. However, Harvey Koontz is included in the files for Canton Township in Washington County. His occupation was Day Labor, his age 25, and his race was Mulatto. He was living with Rachel McCoslin, a 58 year old farmer, who was also a mulatto. Harvey was born in Pennsylvania; and I think Rachel was born in Virginia. |

Henry Coonce |
Discharged 19 December 1861 Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 43; Occupation: Farmer; Residence: Mercer County; Hair: Fair; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Dark; Height: 5'7 3/4" Likely the H. or H. S. Koontz listed in the History of Washington County, even if residence was listed as Mercer County. It seems likely that Harvey and Henry were related, but I can't find a connection. Their ages are a generation apart. If both had Washington County connections, each listed a different residence when mustering in. Of the many variations on the name Koontz/Coonce [from Coons to Kuhn], I can't find any Henry in the 1860 census that matches closely with the age and occupation of Henry Coonce/Koontz of Company K, in any county in Pennsylvania, or in Maryland, Virginia, or Ohio. |

Jacob and and his wife had 13 children, 4 sons and 9 daughters. After the war, Jacob's occupations varied. According to different census records, he was a horse dealer, a butcher, and driver. He was active in the Republican party. He applied for an invalid pension on 19 March 19 1915, and died on 23 April 1918, during the flu epidemic.

John Winters |
The record is confused. May have enrolled in either Company E or Company K, neither or both. John Winters is also listed among the unassigned soldiers. There is no record of him serving in Company K, other than note in 155th P.V. roster. John Winters transferred to Company B, 155th P. V., 3 July 1864. Transferred to Company E, 191st P. V., 2 June 1865. Although his name was transferred, I am not sure he was present. Bates lists Winters in Company E with note as "Not on muster-out roll." Bates lists Winters among Unassigned Soldiers with note "Transferred to Company B, 155th regiment P. V., 3 July 1864." According to the CWVCF, two days after John Winters enrolled as a private in Company E in Meadville, Pa. [29 March 1864], John Winters enrolled as a private in Company H of the 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry [31 March 1864]. Both men were listed as aged 23. No addtional personal information is listed for the cavalry volunteer. He was captured 10 December 1864 and confined at Salisbury, N. C. It appears Winters enrolled in the 62d, changed his mind and served in the cavalry, instead, creating records that were never cleared up. If all the John Winters are the same man this is his personal information from Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 23; Occupation: Laborer; Residence: Clarion County (Born) Buffalo, New York; Hair: Brown; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Dark; Height: 5'8 1/2" Remarks: (Not on M.O.

Cyrus Workman |
Mustered in at Monongahela City. Died 1 August 1862 of wound recieved at Gaines Mill, Va., 27 June 1862. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 28; Occupation: Miner; Residence: Monongahela City, Pa.; Hair: Dark; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'7" Remarks: (Died 8-1-62 wounds received at Gaines Mill, Va. 6-27-62. Bates). Workman is also listed in History of Washington County, Pennsylvania (1926). He enlisted at the same time as Lewis Workman, who was probably a relative, but not a brother. According to the 1860 Census for Monongahela City, he was a Pennsylvania born miner, 30 years of age, and living with his wife Jane and two children. The 1850 Census lists a 19 year old [L?]yrus Workman living in Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County, with Samule Workman (a younger brother?), and a family named Hartner. No occupation was listed for either Workman, but many other men on the same page were coal diggers. |

Lewis Workman |
Mustered in at Monongahela City. Wounded at Gettysburg. Mustered out with company, 13 July 1864. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 21; Occupation: Miner; Residence: Monongahela City, Pa.; Hair: Dark; Eyes: Brown; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'5" Remarks: (Wounded at Gettysburg. 7-2-63. Bates). Lewis Workman was born in 1843 in Fayette Co., Pa., to Lewis and Sarah Workman. According to the 1850 Census the family was residing in Monongahela, Pa. Lewis, Sr., was a glass teaser, and two of his sons were glass blowers. Lewis, the son, is listed as 13 years old. A tintype of Workman in a zouave uniform suggests that before the war he was a member Tower Zouaves in Monongahela, Pa., where he lived in 1860. He enlisted at the same time as Cyrus Workman, who was probably a relative, but not a brother. He may have been a glass blower before the war, but his occupation on the CWVCF was miner, and he worked as a coal miner after the war. He married his first wife, Caroline, in 1866, and they lived in Forward Township, Allegheny Co., near Monongahela. They had four daughters. Lewis married Mary A. in 1891 after Caroline's death around 1888-89. In July 1900, Lewis died of blood poisoning (cause unknown) at age 57. He was living in Monessen, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland Co., at the time of his death. His widow Mary filed for his veterans' benefits in August 1900. Thanks to Sue Wert for the tintype of her great great grandfather (through his daughter Margaret) and to Sue and Lindsay Wilson, a Workman family researcher, for the additional personal informationa about Lewis Workman. |
