Company B Roster
Part of the purpose of this site is to remember EVERY member of the 142nd PVI. One of the most efficient ways is to list the roster of each company. This post will show the roster for Co. B 142nd PVI. This company was raised in Westmoreland County, PA.
The cemeteries listed are based on information from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War graves registration database, local historical and genealogical societies, personal visits to the cemeteries, and Pennsylvania's veteran burial index. They are accurate to the best of my knowledge. If you know the burial location for a 142nd veteran that is not listed here, please email me at bmonticue@gmail.com.
These rosters were compiled by Samuel P. Bates "according to act of Congress" of the State of Pennsylvania in 1869. Bates' History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5 is a mountainous, five volume set that gives an overview of every infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiment that was raised in Pennsylvania, along with a complete regimental roster.
This roster is also found in Col. Horatio Warren's Two Reunions of the 142d Regiment, Pa. Vols.
