their 5 remaining children. In 1910 William was working in a steel mill.
Arabella only had 2 daughters at home, 12 year old Margaret and 18 year old
Lucy, who was a saleswoman at a grocery store. William died in late November
of 1919 of broncho pneumonia. Arabella continued to live in Sharpsburg,

William E. Bean was born in PA, but he appears in the Civil War, joining Co. A
of the 53rd PA Regiment on February 23, 1864. After being injured, he was
transferred to the US Veteran Reserve Corp on May 1, 1865, and was mustered out
on August 7 of that year. Years later, in the 1980 Veteran census, it was noted
that he was missing a finger. Married about 1875, he worked in a rolling mill
as a tester, and by 1910 was in a steel mill. He lived in both Sharpsburg and
Etna. William died on November 20, 1919 of broncho pneumonia in Sharpsburg at
age 72. He was interred on November 23rd. Although there is now no tombstone
for him, impressions in the landscape suggest he lays next to his wife,
Arabella. The family plot has 10 burials besides William and Lena, including

Campbell, Sarah, Daughter of Benjamin & Mary Campbell of Uniontown, PA, Wife
of Rev. Jas. Campbell, Pastor of this Church, [date uncertain], Section 2,
Range 8, near lot 15, [Benjamin Campbell was the son of Hugh and Margaret
Campbell of New London Cross Roads in Chester County PA. He married Mary Adair
of Belfast, Ireland in 1775 and lived in Hagerstown Maryland for some time
before moving to Uniontown, PA. Sarah was the last of 12 known children born to
the couple. She was born on August 14, 1802 and married the Rev. James Campbell
in 1828. He was the son of Patrick and Frances Stockton Campbell. Sarah and
James had at least one child, Hugh James Campbell. The Rev. James Campbell
became the pastor of the Pine Creek Church in 1834 (in present day Fox Chapel,
then Indiana Township), as well as preaching and maintaining a Sunday school in
neighboring Sharpsburg. When a new Presbyterian church was started in
Sharpsburg in 1838, the Pine Creek congregation splitting, James was given the
pastor’s position. He also fulfilled his duties at Pine Creek. Sarah, however,
died on September 29, 1838, according to family researchers. The land donated
to the church by James Sharp, founder of Sharpsburg also included land used for
a cemetery. She was probably interred in that graveyard after her death. When
Greenwood Cemetery was opened in 1874, several families started to move their
relative’s remains from the Sharpsburg graveyard. Although her name does not
appear in the interment records, Sarah was probably moved to Greenwood between
1875 and 1884 when the bulk of remains were taken from Sharpsburg and the
church graveyard eliminated. She was one of several transfers that were not
recorded in Greenwood interments], (contributed by Diane Nichols)

at one time. George was born about 1835 in Scotland and went by the name
George Watt, which appears of the Pension record along with Chalmers. The US
Army Register of Enlistments has a George Watt, born in Buffalo NY who enlisted
in the US Army on 10 October 1859 in New York, New York for a term of 5 years.
He was 28 years old and entered the 8th Infantry, Company D. He was listed as
deserting on July 22, 1861. This desertion was scratched out by Congressional
approval on March 2, 1889, just after he died, and he was re-listed as
discharged at Washington DC on July 22, 1861. He served in Company A of the
69th New York Infantry, where he achieved the rank of Sergeant after enlisting
as a private on 30 September 1864 at age 31. He was promoted to full corporal
in February of 1864 and a sergeant on 16 February 1865. He was mustered out
with the unit on 30 June 1865 at Alexandria Virginia. The pension file
indicates he also was in Co D. of the 8th US Regular Army Infantry and also
served in the Navy, but no records can be found at his time. Apparently he
enlisted in the New York Regiment in DC in the heat of the moment without first
officially resigning his term in the US Army. Listed as a deserter, he was
never caught as he served with the 69th, but after the war, changed his name
and location and location of birth to avoid court marshal. I found him and
wife Jane living in Philadelphia in 1870, I think. He must have been on the
run for years, and his wife came out with his original name after he died, as
both names have cards on file with the pension officeHe and wife Jane lived in
Allegheny City with their 6 children. He died there of heart disease in 1898,
age 63. At least 3 more children have been identified in census records. Also

Indiana Township. He had 3 older sisters and one younger brother. In 1860 when
the Civil War was looming on the horizon, John was only 14. He waited until
February of 1865 to join the Army, enlisting in Co. D of the 77th Regiment of
the PA Volunteers. That regiment spent the last year of the war in Huntsville,
Alabama, Nashville, Tennessee, New Orleans and then Texas until December of
1865 when they were mustered out. By 1870 John was married and living in
Jefferson Township. In 1880, with 3 children, they were living in O’Hara
Township. He and wife Eliza lived in Sharpsburg and then Aspinwall while
raising their family. John worked at an oil refinery, as a farm laborer and in
a shop. He died in Aspinwall on September 26, 1923 of valvular heart disease.
Also in the family plot are John’s sons, James and John, his sister Mary and
daughter-in-law Nina, none of whom have tombstones. The name of his wife,
Eliza, does not appear in the list of interments, although there is a Lydia
Cook who died in 1920 at age 70 of burns of the entire body. The stones laying

Charles, Rachel and Dennis were living in Indiana Township on a small farm.
Rachel died on April 4, 1864 at age 64. She was buried in the graveyard of the
Sharpsburg Presbyterian Church. On August 29, 1904 her remains were moved to
