6th Pennsylvania Infantry

Does anyone have any detailed information about the service of Robert Tate in the 6th Pa Infantry. We would have lived near Gettysburg during the time of the Civil War. He is one of my great-great-great grandfathers. This is a Robert Tate listed as having served in the 6th, I''m just trying to determine if he is mine. Thank You. Joe

My ancestor was also a Private in Co. H 5th Pennsylvania Cavalry.

Enlisted as a private and mustered out as a corporal.

Enlisted at Ashland, Pa., 22 Apr. 1861 for 3-month tour. Mustered out on July 27, 1861.

This company was formed at Llewellyn, Branch Township, Schuylkill County and known as the Llewellyn Rifles. Hiram died on Sept 26, 1873 and buried at Llewellyn cemetery grave #A52.

After this regiment was disbanded after 3 months, William enlisted in Co. F 48th Pennsylvania Infantry for the duration of the war.
