    Source: Discharge Papers for Richard Lisbey from the National Guard.

    Private, Company H, 18th Pennsylvania Infantry, National Guard. Enlisted at age 19. Gray eyes, red hair, fair complexion, 6'0". Good character. Served on Mexican border June 22, 1916-January 5, 1917. Discharged August 5, 1917 upon being drafted in the US Army where he served in France and lost his leg in battle. Received Purple Heart among other medals.

    While in the National Guard he was Absent Without Leave April 22, 1917-April 24, 1917, and again from July 19-July 25, 1917. He was held in confinement by civil authorities from July 20-July 25, 1917. (This doesn't make sense that he was held in confinement during the period he was AWOL!).

    Notes from Shaun Martin
    Richard Lisbey's Social Security Application stated that his father was Frank Lisbey and that his mother was Mary Quinlan. The surname Lisbey was originaly spelled "Livesey" and the family was from England, according to Uncle (Rich Lisbey). I remember when I was a boy asking Uncle who is brothers and sisters were and that he said Mary and perhaps John. The fact that there is an Annie Quinlin born in Cambria County, married to a John Livesey, born in England, both of the correct age; and that Annie had siblings named Josephine Smith and Frank Quinlan, both whom appear with John Lisby in later census records; and that Uncle listed Josephine Smith as his aunt and emergency contact number on his Mexican War Campaign service medal application, lead me to believe that Anna May Quinlan and John Livesey were Uncle's real parents. Since his parents died when he was very young, it could have been that he did not know their real names when he applied for a Social Security number or that Frank and Mary were alternate names for John Lisbey and Anna May Quinlan. Given names in the Quinlan family seem to change frequently between records of different years...Since these notes were written, I have discovered Uncle in the 1900 census with this parents, John and Anna May Livsey.
