I just discovered that Captain Edward Rowe (shown in a post above) was my great-great uncle, the brother-in-law of my g-g-grandfather, Captain Matthew Donovan, who led the regiment at Gettysburg after Lt. Col. Merriam was wounded (Donovan was married to his sister, my great-great grandmother).
I found this sword, sold at auction in 2008, which was presented to Capt. Donovan by the regiment during the war.
