------------------------------------------------------
Joseph's regimental history is described as follows: One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry. — Col., Joseph Jack; Lieut.-Col., John Murphy; Maj., John J. Cree. This was a militia regiment from the counties of Westmoreland, Fayette, Greene, Beaver, Allegheny and Erie, and was mustered into the U. S. service at Pittsburg from Oct. 16 to Dec. 1, 1862, for a nine months term. It left Pittsburg for Washington on Dec. 2; was ordered to Suffolk, where it became a part of Spinola's (Keystone) brigade and moved to New Berne, N. C., where it arrived on Jan. 1, 1863. From New Berne several expeditions were made, none of which resulted in battle, and at the end of the siege of Little Washington, the regiment was stationed there until June 28. Proceeding to Fortress Monroe, it joined at White House in the movement toward Richmond and in response to the desire of the troops to cooperate in the defense of their native state was ordered to Harper's Ferry. However, the 168th was not destined to share in the bloody battle at Gettysburg and joined the army at Boonesboro. After a short period at Middleton, Md., the command was mustered out at Harrisburg, July 25, 1863.
