    Private David Regester, Company K, 4th Reserves. In "History of Pennsylvania Volunteers" it does not list Pvt. Regester to have been wounded during his service in the war. However, in a letter written by a Company K soldier, he gives a detailed account of his comrades in Company K who were wounded, killed, captured or missing on June 30th, 1862 at the Battle of Gaines' Mill.

    New information states: "[Wounded -] David Regester, Upper Uwchlan, shoulder slight."1
