Hi those on this thread- I'm happy to add to your mystery!! Henry Wentz had more to contend with then his Dad's (John) home! John Wentz' daughter, Anna Maria Wentz married Jacob Beamer, who had a farm further south on Emmitsburg road. One of their sons was my great grandfather, Henry Harrison Beamer, (a corporal in Co. K) who was front and center in the 1st Penn Reserves on the afternoon of July 2nd, pushing the confederates back from Devils Den - Little Round Top, as part of Mc Candless' advance. So we have not only son shooting over/around dad's house, we have Henry shooting towards his nephew's position. Wow.
