• Notes

  2nd Lt. William L. Foulk appears on the list of volunteers when the 7th Inf. Reg. K Co. was mustered-in at Pittsburgh on April 23, 1861 for three months service. In August 1861 he formed a company at Pittsburgh, was commissioned as Captain and in Harrisburg his company B was attached to the 46th Pennsylvania Volunteers under Gen. Banks. The 46th Pennsylvania Volunteers has a proud record during the Civil War participating in many campaigns and fought in many well known battles. Refer to the Internet for articles on the history of that unit. Wounded at the battle of Cedar Mountain in Culpepper County VA (Aug 9, 1862) and taken prisoner. Confined at Libby Prison (Richmond, VA) and eventually paroled. He was promoted to Lt. Col. June 7, 1863. Mustered out with the regiment July 16, 1865. After the Civil War in May 1866, William joined the regular US Army as a 2nd Lt. He served in the 18th Infantry, and transferred to 36th infantry in Sept. 1866. He served in Nebraska, Utah and Fort Potter, New York. In 1870, now a 1st Lt., he was assigned to the 10th Cavalry (Buffalo Soldiers) and transferred to Texas and later promoted to Captain. William was courts martialed, removed from the Army at Fort Griffin, Texas in 1874, but later restored per act of the US Congress in 1878. Their last child, John Geary, was born in Utah territory. Cornelia says William was a Lt. Col. in 46th Penn. Volunteers and died after the war while in the regular army. (See 1890 Special Schedule which states Cornelia is a widow in 1890). It is believed that William was originally interred in the Allegheny Cemetery and later moved to the Homewood Cemetery. Refer to supplemental files about William and wife Cornelia - Congress report and action restoring William to the Army and a newspaper article about William's Civil War service and Cornelia's camp following.
