I have assumed that the two Albert Morgan's in Bates are the same person, since the company B Morgan is not on the muster-out roll. The Pennsylvania Archives cards (8) seem to confirm this.
He was born in 1840/41 (8 (31 in 1862?), 10 (23 in 1864), 17 (78 in 1920)). He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (10, 17).
When he enlisted, he was a cigar maker, and was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (8, 10).
When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 6 inches tall, and had a fair complexion, blue eyes, and brown hair (8 [5'7", dark complexion, blue eyes, dark hair], 10 [5'6", fair complexion, blue eyes, brown hair]). He was smallpox marked (10).
He enlisted and was mustered into service, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 11 January 1862 (1, 8 [1 Jan 62], 10, 11 [21 Jan 62], 14, 17). He enlisted for three years, by Captain Keyser (10, 17). He was mustered in as a private in company B, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1, 8, 18 (co.C)).
He was transferred to company C.
On 7 May 1863, he was reported missing in action (4, 14, 16 [missing]). On 29 or 30 May 1863, he was reported regained from missing in action (6).
On 6 October 1863, he was reported regained from missing in action (7).
He reenlisted as a veteran volunteer, on 26 March 1864, at Warrenton Junction, Virginia (1, 8, 17 [28 Mar 64]).
On 5 November 1864, he was promoted to corporal, effective 3 November 1864 (2, 9).
On 17 June 1865, he went on a furlough, which expired on 2 July 1865 (5).
On 3 July 1865, he was promoted to sergeant, effective either 1 July 1865 (3, 8) or 1 March 1865 (1).
He mustered out on 10 July 1865 with his company (1, 8, 11, 14, 17 [64]). He was a sergeant in company C (1, 18).
He also served in company B of the 5th US Artillery (13, 14, 17). He enlisted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 23 January 1867 (17).
On 3 January 1870, he was discharged, at the expiration of his service, at Ft Adam Rd (17).
In 1890, he was living at 60th and Media, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (11). Perhaps he is the Albert Morgan who lived at North 60th and Lansdowne Avenue, and was a carrier (12).
On 9 August 1890, he applied successfully from Pennsylvania for a pension (13, 14).
He again applied for a pension on 16 February 1907 (14).
On 27 June 1920, he was admitted to the Southern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (17). He was 5'6" tall, and had a fair complexion, blue eyes, and gray hair (17). He could read and write (17). He was a Catholic (17). He was a newspaper man (17). He was widowed (17). His nearest relative was his daughter, Annie T Morgan, 1548 N 61st Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (17). He was receiving a pension of $40.00 per month (17). He had arteriosclerosis, prostate hypertrophy, chronic constipation, cardiac hypertrophy, and myalgia (17).
He died at 10.00 AM on 1 December 1920, at the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, in Virginia (14, 17). He died of mitral insufficiency (17). He had $31.00 in cash, and $85.0 in personal property, which was settled with his daughter Annie T Morgan (17).
