Killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. Capt. of Co C 75th. OVI. He was the son of John and Mary Mulharen.and was born in Coxbury MA.
Our Regimental records note that Mulharen was 21 years old when he enlisted in Company "C" 75th OVI on October 4, '61. That would make his birth year 1840. He was appointed 2nd Lieutenant on Nov. 9. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant of Company "H" on December 3, '62. And then to Captain Company "C" on February 19, '63. Our listing states he was killed on July 2nd, '63 at the Battle of Gettysburg, yours may be correct, it's hard to say. I've found some inconsistencies in the roster on occasion.
