Edward Corr is also listed in military records as Edward Carr.
The son of Phillip and Ann Corr, Edward married Mary Clark of Taunton, age 21 and the daughter of Edward and Catherine (Monahan), at St. Mary's Church in that city on Aug. 28, 1853. Edward and Mary were the parents of Julia, born 1854; John, born April 28, 1856; Catherine, born 1859, and Phillip born Nov. 21, 1867.
Edward was a 27 year-old Carpenter from Taunton, MA, when he enlisted in that city on July 15, 1861 and was mustered into the 18th Massachusetts Infantry on August 24, 1861 as a Private in Co. B. Per military records he was 5 ft. 5-3/4 in. tall with a fair complexion, light grey eyes, and dark brown hair.
He was engaged with his Regiment in 1862 in the Peninsula Campaign, including the siege of Yorktown and at the Second Battle of Bull Run, where he was wounded in the left ankle on August 30, 1862. The 18th Massachusetts suffered heavy losses in this battle being exposed to artillery and musket fire from three sides for close to a half hour before retreating.
Edward was subsequently discharged due to his wounds at Washington, DC on Dec. 16, 1862. That he was severely wounded is attested to by the fact that he applied for an Invalid Pension on Dec. 18, 1862 and was granted $6.00 per month.
Edward was 39 years of age when he died at Taunton, MA due to complications from his wound. His wife Mary filed for a widow's pension on March 7, 1872 and was granted a pension of $8.00 per month with an additional $2.00 per month for each minor child.
Mary Corr, age 49, died of Tuberculosis at Taunton on Aug. 4, 1877. Mary's mother Elizabeth Clark was appointed as guardian for her grandson Phillip, who received a pension of $8 per month until his 16th birthday.
