About Capt. (USA) Harry Worth Hewes

95th Pa., Company K (at outset of war); resigned :
Harry W. Hewes Captain mustered: September 16, 1861 Resigned July 16, 1862

note: Was once in the Grey's Artillery Corps (sourced here)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Grays_(Philadelphia)

The Corps, while being largely represented at the front during the war, still maintained its organization at home, and in the fall of 1862, during the incursion of Robert E. Lee's army into the north in the Antietam campaign, organized a company of one hundred and twenty-five men, which became Company "A" of the 21st Pennsylvania Militia, and during Lee's second incursion in 1863 in the Gettysburg campaign, on June 30, organized a full Company "A," and part of Company "B", for the 49th Pennsylvania Militia.

Note: As it is written that Harry served "throughout the Rebellion" it is likely that he served with the Greys at Gettysburg.

"The 49th Pennsylvania was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas M. Hulings. It brought 318 men to the field in four companies (A-D). The regiment had marched 36 miles on July 1 to reach the battlefield, and was placed in reserve behind Little Round Top to secure the flank of the army."
