Hi Marybeth, On page 121 of "History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties" by J. Simpson Africa, Patrick Kelly is listed as a sergeant. We have corresponded before about Patrick and I believe that this Patrick is my gggrandfather. The reason for this belief is because my family has copies of more than 80 letters written by Patrick to his wife, Ann. Nightwine Kelly. These letters, written during the civil War, follow the chronology of the 34th Regiment exactly. The letters refer to letters that he received from Ann in Huntingdon, in just a few days. I think that the turnaround was faster than it is today! I also have Patrick's service records from the National Archives. He was mostly in charge of "foraging", according to the documents. Of interest might be that Patrick shortened his name from "Kilkelly" about this time. It is thought (somewhat jokingly, but perhaps truly) that the prefix "Kil" was potentially a bad omen in combat!
