62d Pennsylvania Volunteers Company C: Lyon Guards (Clarion County)

Company Origins and Demographics

Recruited by Thomas B. Monks at Curllsville and Sligo, in Clarion County starting on the 4th of July, 1861. When Colonel Black was ready to receive recruits for the regiment, Monk's company was ready and available. The organization was taken in wagons to Kittanning, and from there was able to travel by rail to Pittsburgh. Company mustered in on 25 July 1861 in Lafayette Hall, Pittsburgh.

The name Lyon Guards most likely comes from John Patton Lyon, an iron manufacturer from Sligo, who was also vice president of the local railroad. During the war, Lyon held the title of lieutenant colonel and aid-de-camp to Governor William F. Johnston. He, therefore, had the financial backing and interest to sponsor a military company. His connection to the company can also be seen through William G. Lowry, who was listed in a household of John Patton Lyon in the 1860 Census. Lowry joined the company as a second lieutenant, but was promoted to Major of the regiment before being killed at Gettysburg.

The average age at enrollment of the officers was 21.0 years old. The average age of the privates was slightly older at 22.7 years old. There were fewer 18 and younger than in other companies, but about average the number over 30. Only thirteen of the volunteers listed their age as 18 or younger. A dozen were 30 or over. The oldest officer was the first captain, Thomas Monks, but the oldest soldiers were Lorenz S. Levan and Hugh McGarvey, who were 43. Levan may have mustered in along side his son, but I have been unable to confirm the relationship. One musicians was 16, but the other was 25. None of the officers were professional men. Although Captain Monks may have studied civil engineering in his youth, his occupation was listed as carpenter. More than a third of the officers were farmers. The most common occupation, more than a third of those whose occupation was listed, was farmer (29). Eighteen were listed as either miner or collier. The only other common occupation was laborer, but most of the other occupations reflect the rural nature of the recruiting area: woodcutters/sawyers, blacksmiths, and boatbuilders/boatman. The two glassblowers of the company were from Fayette County, a more urban county just south of Pittsburgh.

Name	Rank(s)	Remarks (All officers mustered in 25 July 1861.)
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. Son of the Reverend Mr. and Mrs. William Monks and brother of Sgt. Zerah Coston Monks. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 30; Occupation: Carpenter; Residence: Clarion Co.; Hair: Black; Eyes: Brown; Complexion: Fair; Height: 6' Remarks: Discharged by resignation 10-15-62.
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.
Benjamin 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 on 2 July 1864 with the other soldiers of the 62d whose terms had not expired. The book also indicates that Captain Huey was well liked by the men of Company K. 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." Benjamin's parents, James & Elizabeth (Everhart) Huey, came from Centre County to Clarion. 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. He died 21 November 1900. He was listed in 1900 Census for Belvue, Pottawatomie, Kansas. Huey lived in Pennsylvania and Kansas after the war. He died in or before 1901. His widow was Christina K. Huey. The friendship between Huey and Lowry may be reflected in the fact that Benjamin named one of his sons Augustine ("Gustin") Lowry Huey, who was born in 1866.
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 we know thanks to information from the Myers family records, was the sister of John E. and William H. Myers. His first reference to Mattie is from 14 March 1863: "Mattie will be in Clarion Co in April. She is in Saltsburg now." Whether or not 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]. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 22; Occupation: Miller; Residence: Clarion, Pa.; Hair: Black; Eyes: Gray; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'8"; Remarks: Pro. 1st Sgt. 11-12-61 to 1st Lt. 9-10-62 Trans from Company C. 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, but Myers is name on pension index card and in other documents. That his pension claim was filed by his mother would be a strong indication that he was unmarried. A Myers descendent informs me that John was the brother of Private William Myers. They were two of nine children of Abner and Barbara (Eaby) Myers. Another brother, Stephen served in the 8th Pennsylvania Volunteers and was wounded at Gaines Mill, but lived until 1879. Private Samuel Myers of Company C was possibly a cousin.
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. Not sure of his all his ranks in the 62d. He tranferred to the 155th P. V. as a First Sergeant on 3 July 1864. 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.
William H. Johnston	Sergeant, 1st Lieutenant	Died 17 May 1864, of wounds received in action in Spottsylvania on 12 May 1864. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age: 28; Occupation: Farmer; Residence: Clarion County, Pa.; Hair: Brown; Eyes: Gray; Complexion: Dark; Height: 5'9 1/2"; Remarks: Pr. to 2nd Lt. 12-3-62 at Falmouth, Va. to 1st Lt. 9-12-63.

R. near Bridge.," according to the "Record of the Federal Dead Buried from Libby, Belle Isle, Dnveille, & Camp Lawton Prisons. City Point, and in the Meld before Petersburg and Richmond," 1865. 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."
Tate Henry	Sergeant	Discharged 10 March 1862. Re-enlisted in January 1864 in Company K, 11th Pennsylvania Calvary until because of health reasons, he transferred to the Invalid Corps. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 21; Occupation: Farmer; Residence: Clarion Co.; Hair: Dark; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Fair; Height: 6' Mustered in and out as 4 Sergeant; name listed as Tate Henry, according to the "United States National Archives. Civil War Service Records [database on-line]." Henry's discharge appears to have been due to being wounded in the leg. In a letter to Ben Huey, 23 June 1862, Gust Lowry asks, "Has Tate Henry’s leg got straight." According to an obituary in the Clarion Democrat of 28 May 1903, Tate Henry died on 26 May 1903, at New Bethlehem, Pa at the age of about 64 years. He had returned to his home near Curllsville after the war and engaged in farming until two years before his death when he relocated to New Bethlehem, the place of his demise. He was a Presbyterian, a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a Mason. Listed as Henry Tate in Bates.

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."
