See the orders on 15 August 1863 for personnel changes.

Tomlin (E), Peter McCollough (F), Patrick Costello (I) (general order 8, HQ 91st PA, 15 Apr 64
On 24 April 1864, John Scott, co E, was detailed as a mounted pioneer
They were apparently entitled to bear arms (circular, HQ 91st PA, 10 April 1864).
