Wilkinson of the 87th PA Inf - Civil War
Looking for info on Civil War veteran Henry B. Wilkinson (a.k.a. Henry Williams), who served in Company E of the 87th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.The regiment mustered in York in September 1861, but Henry did not join the unit until January 1865 and was not likely from the York area.He must not have liked what he saw because in April, he transferred to the 187th Pennsylvania.(He liked higher numbers, I suppose.)He had previously served with the 59th Pennsylvania.
