An article about William Talcott Lane’s death notes “Mr. Lane was a member of the Allen Guard, and served with that corps during its first three months campaign, and afterwards with the 10th (Massachusetts) Regiment during its whole three years campaign, escaping all the dangers of this perilous service”
I noticed an Allen Guard in PA, but William is not listed here. http://www.pacivilwar.com/firstdefenders/allenguard.html
Was there another Allen Guard in Or about Massachusetts? What category should be used for the Allen Guard?
