After serving with his younger brother Levi in the three-month 14th Pennsylvania, Jonathan Bennethum, my GGG-granduncle, enlisted with another younger brother, George, in Co. D, 55th Pennsylvania. Jonathan and George were captured while serving in that regiment; they were sent to Andersonville, Georgia, where George died of scorbutus.

Levi Bennethum, my GGG-Grandfather, enlisted in Co. E, 14th Pennsylvania along with his older brother Jonathan and many boys from Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. Levi later enlisted with Co. D, 90th Pennsylvania, where he was promoted to Sergeant and saw action at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Petersburg. He spent four months with the recruiting service in Philadelphia from January 1864 until May, returning to the regiment in June.
