The Irish remained the most numerous of foreign-born soldiers in with thirty-three men. Germans were next with twelve.

Seven men claimed origins in England and Scotland. Over thirty different civilian occupations were listed in , with farmers and gardeners forty-three and unskilled laborers forty-two as the most common, followed by shoemakers seven and carpenters seven. The seven noncommissioned officers present at Gettysburg were exclusively pre-war regulars, and all were immigrants.

Two of the corporals would be wounded in the fight. He came to America in and enlisted in Battery A in August In the pre-war years, he served in Florida and Kansas, and participated in the Utah Expedition in the spring of In the summer of , he commanded a detachment of fifteen men defending an outpost in the Nevada Territory. They were surrounded by about hostile Indians who attacked their position repeatedly over an eleven-day period.

For his exploits, he was commissioned a second lieutenant on 31 October , and commanded the battery for the rest of the war. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor on 1 July for his gallantry at Gettysburg. He eventually served in the Army for forty-four years, retiring as a major on 18 June While on the retired list, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

He remained in that position until discharged on 10 July He settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with his wife until his death in July By all accounts, Whetstone performed admirably at Gettysburg and reenlisted in July His wife, a dressmaker living in Asbury Park, New Jersey, applied for a pension in , but it was rejected due to his desertion. He enlisted at Buffalo, New York, in August He was discharged one month after Gettysburg when his original five-year enlistment ended, but he enlisted a year later in the 1st New Hampshire Volunteer Heavy Artillery, where he served in the defenses of Washington until the end of the war.

Au was shot through the neck at Antietam in September and lost part of two fingers on his right hand at Gettysburg. Discharged in July , he enlisted in October in the 55th Ohio Volunteers as a substitute for a drafted man until he was mustered out the following July after the war ended. He enlisted again in April in Battery D, 1st U. Au was confined to quarters for most of his last enlistment, suffering from severe rheumatism and cared for by his wife, Ellen. He was discharged in August , three years early, and filed for a disability pension in He died on 26 February A machinist from Waterford, Ireland, Edmund M.

Hurley was twenty-one when he enlisted in April He was promoted to corporal on 1 May , replacing Angus Brennan. At Gettysburg, Hurley was shot through the left side below the ribs and was hospitalized until mid-November Transferred to Fort Washington, Maryland, in December , he was hospitalized for an enlarged heart and was discharged on 22 June Hurley applied for a disability pension in July which was rejected. He reapplied in , and finally received his pension in He was present at Gettysburg, but not with Battery A. Manley was discharged in August when his five-year term of service ended.

He reenlisted in March , but deserted one year later. Casualties on those two days of combat for Battery A were indeed heavy. After the battle, survivors of the battery counted over dead Confederates in and around the Angle. A survey of records revealed forty men as casualties on both days. All the officers were killed or wounded, seven enlisted men were killed or mortally wounded, twenty-nine enlisted men were wounded, and one enlisted man was reported missing in action.

Two soldiers were killed on 2 July. They were Private Andrew F. Private Hiram A.

1st Arkansas Infantry Regiment

Griffin originally enlisted in the 61st New York Volunteers. After this wound, he swore that should he ever be seriously wounded again, he wanted his fellow artillerymen to put him out of his misery. During the artillery exchange that afternoon, a shell crashed into a horse and exploded, disemboweling the animal and mangling the driver, Private Griffin, who was seated in the saddle. As he writhed in agony, he called out for someone to shoot him.

Then methodically, Griffin pulled his own revolver and put it to his head. Seven soldiers were wounded on 2 July. Shriner had reenlisted on 13 February , but deserted on 10 May The charge of desertion was removed by an Act of Congress, and he was honorably discharged in to date from 10 May On examination of the Provost Marshal's office it appeared that her name was Mollie Bean, and that she had been serving in the 47th North Carolina Regiment for over two years, during which time she had been twice wounded.

She was sent to Castle Thunder, that common receptacle of the guilty, the suspected, and the unfortunate.

This poor creature is, from her record, manifestly crazy. It will not, we presume, be pretended that she had served so long in the army without her sex being discovered. The story also ran in the Richmond Sentinel and the Richmond Enquirer , and was picked up by the Charlotte Daily Bulletin , which on March 2 ran a much more detailed version of the incident:. The train guard on the Danville cars encountered a delicate looking individual, decked out in a Yankee great coat, and a pair of light colored pants, and a jaunty little fatigue cap, stuck rakishly on the head, one side resting close against the right ear.

As the face was a strange one, the guard demanded 'Your papers, sir,' to which the individual in the great coat responded, 'I've got no papers, and damn if I want any. Here the strange individual was subjected to the most rigid cross questioning, and much to the astonishment of all, it was ascertained that the great coat encompassed the form of a female, who gave her name as Mollie Bear, of the 47th North Carolina State troops.

She states that she was twice been wounded in battle. Miss Bear was committed to the castle as a suspicious character. Five days later the Charlotte Western Democrat ran the story under the title "A Female Adventurer," but added no more details about the event or the individual. No further records have been found about her final disposition at Castle Thunder prison in Richmond. How long she was incarcerated, and what happened to her upon her release, are questions that remain unanswered.

Exactly who she was also remains a mystery. If the newspapers were correct, Molly Bean was a young woman, assumedly from North Carolina, who enlisted in the 47th North Carolina Infantry at some point in the spring of Identifying her by her alias would entail finding an individual who enlisted at that point, who suffered two wounds either to extremities or the head wounds which would not necessarily have necessitated discovery that she was a woman , and who for whatever reason, could have been on the railroad between Danville and Richmond on February 17, The 47th North Carolina, on that date, was posted in winter quarters near Hatcher's Run.

No woman by the name of Mollie Bean is listed on the census as living in North Carolina. However, Mollie is a common pet-name for Mary or Margaret. A second Margaret Bean, born , lived in Montgomery County. Mollie Bean, if that was her real name, was perhaps one of those women. The 47th North Carolina, however, was primarily raised in Alamance, Franklin, Granville, Nash, and Wake Counties, and included very few enlistees from other regions.

One intriguing possibility is that she was actually Mollie Bunn, born in , who was living in Nash County in An analysis of the regiment's deserters who absconded in the January-February period, searching for those who enlisted in , and who were documented as having been twice wounded, proved inconclusive, as in each case those individuals can be proven as males using census and pension records.

On April 11, , the Charlotte Western Democrat ran two stories, which had previously been published in the Raleigh Progress and Raleigh Daily Conservative , concerning a female soldier. A young soldier was arrested here yesterday on suspicion of being a female, and she admitted she was. She gave her name as Margaret Plyde, and says she is from Union County, in this state, and has been nine months in the army. We learn she was sent to a hospital for further examination.

She is 20 years of age, has good features, bronzed skin, dark eyes, and short hair.

She states that ten months ago she married, and one month thereafter she joined the company of her husband, and has been on duty since that time, has been in all the fights, was never sick or absent from duty. Her husband was killed in the battle of Bentonsville [sic] and having no longer any inducement to remain in the army, she now made known her sex and wished to return to her home in Union County, N.

Her maiden name was Plyler. She is a native of Lancaster, S. A Margaret Plyler, born in S. Born in , she was living at the time in the household of her mother Rachel in the town of Walkersville. There is no marriage record, however for a woman by that name in in Union County. The newspaper stories did not give the name of her husband, only that her married name was Torry, and that her husband would have thus been a member of Company D, Jeff Davis Legion Cavalry, who was killed at Bentonville.
