Tom  Allison was born in Gettysburg during the battle, according to a letter 
in  my
wife's possession.  The letter also states that the boy's father  was killed 
during
the battle, but the author of the letter admits that he  does not know his 
name.

Can someone please check the records of  Pennsylvania units at Gettysburg, 
who may
have been recruited from there,  to see if there was an Allison listed among 
the
killed during the  battle?




The only Union soldier named Allison killed during the battle according to  
John Busey's "These Honored Dead: The Union Casualties at Gettysburg" was  
Corporal John S. Allison of Company K, 75th Ohio Infantry (Eleventh Corps),  
mortally wounded on July 1 (and actually dying on July 19).  No dead  Allsions 
listed for any Pennsylvania unit.
