62d Pennsylvania Volunteers
Company K (Allegheny County)
Company Origins
Recruited in Allegheny County, but included 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 Pittsburg 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. The 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 the names of individuals.].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.
