The Civil War database listed in the other reply (http://www.civilwardata.com) does list your guys.They are listed as Thomas Watt and John Watt - not Watts.There is not much personal info on them other than enlist dates, muster dates.You can find Regimental histories on this database which can be interesting. I believe you can access most (but not all) records by trying out their guest membership. You may also want to try Ancestry.com.They have recently added the Civil war pension index which are scanned images of the pension index cards.It is not the actual pension files, just an index, but it can give you the pension file number.I checked and there were 4 Thomas Watt names from PA and one Thomas Watts.Hope this helps.
