Thomas D. Evans, Sergeant of Co. G. of the 14th Regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry. A native of Wales, Evans enlisted in Pittsburgh in September of 1862, to serve for three years. His 1864 furlough certificate lists him as 18 years of age and a resident of Birmingham, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. In January and February of 1864 the company was stationed at Jackson River, near Covington, Va. On February 13, Evans went home on a fifteen days furlough, and then was dispatched to assist at a Pittsburgh recruiting office ("No. 26, 5th Street"). He was back with the company by Apr. 3, 1864, in time for Sigel's expedition to New Market. He was wounded at Salem (June 21, 1864), during Hunter's expedition to Lynchburg, and spent the rest of the campaign riding the ambulance. Evans spent the remainder of the year at a military hospital in Galliopolis, Ohio, and then U.S. Army General Hospital in Pittsburg, Pa.
