Notes for Isaac L. McKeag:
BRIEF HISTORY OF
ISAAC MCKEAG
By Robert J. Mancuso, Great Grandson
General Background
Isaac L. McKeag father's was James McKeag. Isaac was the father of John L. McKeag born in 1870-1(?), (Some family members believe that John died in 1917.) was the father of Marie B. McKeag, born on July 6, 1898. Robert J. Mancuso is her son, born August 12, 1936
Isaac McKeag listed his place of birth on his discharge papers as Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (most probably born in Ireland in 1843.) He enlisted in the 63rd Regiment, Co. A of the Pennsylvania Volunteers; Capt. Berringer's Company; Colonel Alexander Hays Regiment on August 26, 1861. Isaac was 18 and listed his occupation as a miner at the time of his enlistment. (note 1)
He stood 5 feet 7 3/4 inches, fair complexion and had gray eyes and brown hair. (note 2)
He was wounded in the leg at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia on May 3, 1863 near Hazel Grove, Southwest of Fairview, and the site of the Chancellor house. According to official Certificate of Disability for Discharge, Isaac received a "Gunshot wound of left thigh implicating the bone." (note 3) Further documents state: "...he was wounded in Battle of Chancellorville, VA on the 3rd of May 1863 by a musket ball entrance as little below and back of the left hip entrance out in front, at the upper part of the thigh, causing stiffness of the leg, and soreness which hinders walking full, and causing sore, yet open and as pain when pieces of the bone comes out from the wound. (note 4)
He was captured on the battlefield on May 3, 1863, tended to near Fairview, and paroled at U. S. Ford, Virginia on May 15, 1863. (note 5) He was sent to Washington, DC for rehabilitation. (note 6) During his hospitalization, he was promoted to Sargent on July 5, 1863 (two days after the great battle of Gettysburg). (note 7) He was discharged on November 26, 1863, by order of General Martindale, 1st Division, General Hospital, Alexander, VA. (Data taken from discharge papers.) (note 8)
Regimental Information
Isaac was one of the early volunteers to enlist in Colonel Hays Regiment. On August 26, the volunteers were sent from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC to form the Regiment, he was assigned to Company A. The Regiment became a part of the Army of the Potomac. Isaac's first taste of battle came when the Regiment was engaged in the Pohick Church, Virginia. (note 9)
After the Peninsula campaign the Regiment arrived on August 29th upon the second Bull Run battlefield. The Regiment was engaged in the battle and suffered many casualties, Colonel Hays was severely wounded. One third of the Regiment was either killed or wounded. The next day, while engaged near Chantilly, Virginia General Kearney, the Division Commander, was killed.
Upon the death of its commander the division with the 63rd Regiment was ordered to the defenses of Washington, DC. While there Colonel Hays was promoted to Brigadier General.
He was promoted from private to corporal on December 1, 1862 (note10}
On December 12 the Regiment was moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia where it was engaged in battle on the right flank of the enemy. Both sides suffered many killed and wounded.
The Regiment was engaged in the Battle of Fredericksburg. For three days the regiment endured unparalleled sufferings from inclement weather, at the end of which the campaign was abandoned and the Regiment returned to camp across the Rappahannock River.
Chancellorsville and A Fallen Hero
On April 30, 1863 the regiment crossed U. S. Ford. On May 2nd the regiment was in position near the plank road and later moved to a position in some small pines. Later the regiment was moved to a position about two miles in advance of their earlier position near the plank road. When the Stonewall Brigade overran the Eleventh Corps, the 63rd supported the retreat of Eleventh Corps. (note 11)
"Joe Hooker, it seems, never came to appreciate it (Hazel Grove). Before first light that Sunday he called Sickles to the Chancellor house and ordered him to collect his two divisions and his batteries and march rapidly "by the most practicable route" back to Fairview." . . . "Sickles, he went on, "knew not at what moment the forces of Lee would strike him in rear, when he would have been between two fires and liable for capture. . . General Hooker plainly saw the great danger. . . ." (note 12)
There was danger, to be sure, just as there was danger inherent in any position in the shape of protruding salient. Losing here would leave Sickles with a particularly tortuous route for retreat. Yet there were seven brigades of veteran Yankee infantry here, and 38 guns. And whatever Dan Sickles might have lacked in military judgment he could make up for with military pugnaciousness. Furthermore, on Sickles's immediate left, facing Lee, were three more brigades under John Geary of the Twelfth Corps."
"Sunday, morning, May 3rd, firing from the picket in our front commenced at an early hour, and at six o'clock, A.M., our skirmisher had been driven in, and the enemy was seen approaching in line of battle from what had been the previous morning, our rear. As the brigade was formed, the 63rd was the extreme left of the line, and the first regiment engaged. Our left flank being unprotected, the enemy gained it and poured in a most destructive fire, without our being able to reply effectively. The position was held until a large number had been struck, when, with the rest of the brigade, it fell back." (note 13)
"Before he could evacuate Hazel Grove, Dan Sickles had to clear a passage for his troops, especially for his artillery. The 105th Pennsylvania was detailed to corduroy a boggy section along a branch of Lewis's Run, and soon the troops were on the march back to Fairview. Wipple's division led, followed by Birney's. Staying to the last as rear guard at Hazel Grove were the six Pennsylvania regiments of Charles Graham (57th, 63rd, 68th, 114th, and 141st regiments). With Graham was James Huntington's Battery B 1st Ohio Light." (note 14)
"James J. Archer's brigade -1st, 7th, 14th Tennessee, 13th Alabama, 5th Alabama Battalion-was on the extreme right of the advance, and it was Archers's men Dority was shooting at. H. T. Childs of the 1st Tennessee reported that his regiment went 50 yards, and then halted to dress its lines. "Then General Archers's shrill, clear voice was heard along the line: 'Fix bayonets,! Forward, guide center! Charge 'em boys!'" With the Rebel yell they charged. At the edge of the Hazel Grove clearing they clambered over an undefended breastwork and opened fire on Huntington's Ohio battery and it infantry supports. (note 15) (Underline added.)
"In his midnight reconnaissance Porter Alexander had found an artillery position in what was little more than a wide spot in the woods road north of Hazel Grove and deployed two batteries there, and now they too opened on the Federals. The Rebel riflemen and artillerists made a short fight of it. Archer's line outflanked Graham's, and with that the Federal began to give away and join the withdrawal. His regiment fell back, wrote Captain James Ryan of the 63rd Pennsylvania, "which is, perhaps, excusable, considering the terrible flank fire it was under all the time." (note 16) (Underling added.)
"Archer's men pushed to within 70 yards of the barricade and then the fire became more than they could stand. . . . . However that may be, it was 6:45 A. M. and the Confederate had Hazel Grove for their guns." (note 17)
In his diary Rice C. Bull, 123rd New York Volunteer Infantry, which was in the support position of the Graham's regiments, relates that "I had just fired my gun and was lowering it from shoulder when I felt a sharp sting in my face as though I had been struck with something that caused no pain. Further: "I passed in the rear of several Companies, all were firing rapidly, and when back of Company K felt another stinging pain, this time in my left side just above the hip." ... "I told him who I was and asked if he could get someone to help me go to the Surgeon. He had two stretcher-bearers come; they did not take me to the Surgeon but carried me back about fifty yards to a small stream that ran parallel to our battle line." (Stream was Lewis Run. Editor's note.) . . ."When our Regiment fell back it had not passed over the place where the wounded lay but had gone to the right in the direction of the highway." . . . "They (the Confederates) had to cross around or over the wounded and were cautioned by their officers to be careful not to disturb them (the wounded and dying) more than was necessary". . . ."From that time on, while we were in the Confederate lines, all the Johnnies treated us with kindness and with consideration for our feelings; then did all they could to make us comfortable." . . . ."About noon, a Confederate officer rode along the line of the wounded and said that a detail had been organized to move all the wounded to a central point where we would be together." . . . Near the center of the cleared around, in front of where the Chancellor House stood, was a log cabin that had been unoccupied." (Area is Fairview. Editor's note.) . . . "Early Tuesday morning, May 12th, we were told that a Federal ambulance train was on its way to Chancellorsville to take us back to our Army and friends." ...That afternoon Confederate officers came and took a list of all prisoners, having each one sign a parole not to enter active service again until properly exchanged." (note 18)
Editor's note: I strongly believe that it was during this time Isaac was wounded and left on the battlefield, as was the fate of Rice C. Bull. I have visited the battlefield at least 12 times since I lived near Manassas, Virginia about 25 miles from the Chancellorsville battlefield. During my research I walked over that portion of the battlefield where Isaac was wounded, and walked up and down Lewis Run. I have read many books on the Chancellorsville battle. I believe that the above information, although circumstantial, my personal visits, and my research of details in several books and diaries leads me to the prisoner theory. I feel certain I have stood in the area where Isaac was wounded. And where he was held as a prisoner near Fairview, an area- in -sight of the Chancellor house that headquartered General Hooker during the battle.

Notes for Bernard Aloysius Dillon:
Bernard Aloysius Dillon was born at home (520 Larimer Ave, Turtle Creek, PA). He left high school in his senior year, and joined the Navy. After boot training in Bainbridge, Md., he was assigned to an amphibious landing group, along with 23 other sailors...all of them radio operators, having graduated from the Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisc., and were placed on a "liberty" ship, along with trucks,
tanks, etc., and headed out to sea. Their responsibility was to establish a communications network to allow them to communicate with patrolling U.S. aircraft. They, of course, had to construct an airfield first on an island. As his Unit approached their goal, the Admiralty Islands in the South Pacific, they had to go over the side of the ship by grabbing the rope and descending to the small landing ships waiting to take them to the island. The men had their trusted 30-30 carbine rifle strapped over their shoulder, plenty of ammunication....when they landed they found the island was pretty well under the control of the U.S. marine forces, so they were pretty safe. They constructed the airfield, and Bernard flew in the SBD's occasiionally as the radio operator on patrol missions. He was on the island of Los Negros during this time. He was then assigned to the USS Heron, AVP, a seaplane tender, which was built in 1918. It was so slow they almost got sunk by a floating mine. Luckily, they spotted the mine and exploded it before it could do damage to them. From there, he was placed on the USS Shelikof, AVP52,
another seaplane tender, where he remainded until April 3 1946. On April 3, he was assigned to the USS
Little Rock, CL92, a light cruiser, where he served until Oct. 1 1947. He was called back for the Korean War, where he served another 22 months aboard the USS Bristol DD857, a destroyer. From there, he went to the USS Perry DD844, another destroyer, and then to the USS Yosemite AD10, a supply ship, until his final discharge from the Navy on July 30,. 1952. Totally, Bernard served in the US Navy for almost 7 years.
