It recommends to see Bate's "History of PA Volunteers," (1869-71, in 5 Volumes, PA State Printer, Harrisburg, PA). Chapter 16 does list a number of units from Mercer Co., PA and gives the names of those recruited into each unit as follows (about 20 pages): 39 Reg.10th Reserves, Co. B and G. 57 Reg., Co. B, C, D, E, F, and I. 76 Reg., Co. B. 77 Reg., Co. E. 100 Reg., ("Roundheads") Co., G. I have the 1989 Morningside Book on the Roundheads by Gavin. 139 Reg., (some from Worth Twp.) Co. A. 140 Reg., Co. B. 142 Reg., Co. A. 145 Reg., Co. G. 169 Reg., Co. A and D. 211 Reg., Co. D. The names are listed in alphabetical order, so I could go through it and search for certain Names for you. What names are you looking for? Oh by the way, I went to the Millbrook one-room school in 1939 for the 3rd grade. It is a two-story brick building with one room on each floor. I noticed your post on Feb 23. What was the Surname of your wife? My Sterretts came from Irwin Twp., Venango Co. right next to Worth Twp. in Mercer Co., PA. And I grew up in Grove City, PA. > Jim Sterrett/Palo Alto, CA > sterrett@ix.netcom.com
