ONE of the defensive measures of we find the militia of our county at attached to a brigade under the command of General Brown, of Athens County.


In 1825 Morgan militia formed a brigadier-general, Francis A. Barker colonel of the 1st and Erastus Hoskins lieutenants and non-commissioned officers State law required each company to parade of the officers of the regiment our country has been an enrolled militia and government inducements to form volunteer organizations. Hence its formation constituting a regiment, with Alexander McConnel as colonel, brigade of two regiments, of which Colonel McConnel was elected brig-

colonel of the 2d Regiment. Each regiment consisted of eight companies, with the equivalent number of captains, lieutenants and non-commissioned officers; also, one or more volunteer companies attached to each regiment. The State kaw required each company to muster once by itself and once with the regiment each year ; also a separate parade of the officers of the regiment annually.


General musters were at that day important institutions. They are of the past, the like of which we shall never see again. The following graphic description of a general training or muster is from Judge Gaylord's reminiscences of Morgan County :


In the early settlement of the county general musters were held annually, and the "muster men" of the county, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, were regularly enrolled and required to perform two days' military duty each year or subject themselves to fines and penalties. In 1820 there was but one regiment in the county, and for some years it met for muster on the farm of Joseph Devereaux, in the township of Bristol, that being the most central and suitable point. As the population of the county increased a brigade was created, with Alex. McConnel the firSt brigadier- general. After the creation of the brigade McConnelsville was first honored by a general muster of the 1st annually. Regiment, the first general parade held in the village. The regiment was eight

hundred strong, and was formed on Center street, with its right resting in front of E. Corner's tavern, and marched thence for drill and military exercise into a stake-and-ridered stubble field, situated to the north of Center street and extending back to the break of the hill.


Ample space was here found for all the military maneuvers in vogue at that day, and for a full display of official military knowledge and dignity. In this field the colonel, with his staff and the other field officers, first appeared with the regiment for drill. Preparatory to the formation and parade of the regiment companies were formed, "ranked and sized" in different parts of the village. Each company supplied itself with a drum and fife, and kept up an interminable racket all day, and about those noisy musical instruments might be found congregated all the boys of village and country, who in their youthful opinions estimated the drummer and fifer as the greatest men in the regiment. All over the village might be seen the sergeants of companies lustily calling for the privates to "fall in, all who belong to Captains—'s company, fall in."


When the men of the company were got well together the captain would make his appearance, bedizened with his uniform, which in those primitive military days consisted of a faded cloth with rows of brass buttons down in front, a faded and rusty epaulet, an old time sword fastened to his side by a much worn and faded morocco belt, a large, rusty brass buckle, a common hat, with a white plume made of geese feathers, stuck under a cockade made of red, white and blue flannel, and would take his position in front of the company with drawn sword, and command : "Attention, company ! Front face ! Company rank and size, tall men to the front ! Little men to the left ! March !" Then there was some commotion among the privates to find their positions. After the company became settled the captain would again command : "Attention, company ! Look to the right !" Then all eyes were turned to the right of the company to make the line straight. The captain would then put the company through the "manual in arms," commencing, "order arms, shoulder arms, present arms, support arms, trail arms, prepare to load, draw ramrod, handle cartridge, ram down cartridge, return ramrod,. prime, order arms."


All this was done in a short space of time, with perhaps only twenty guns in a company of one hundred men, and the guns of all patterns, shapes and sizes, from the squirrel rifle to the old Revolutionary musket with flint lock. After this performance he would command the company to mark time, the captain then taking position to the extreme right of the company, and under a full flow of martial music he stood calling out "right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right face, march" ; then after countermarching on the same ground the word was "halt, mark time." The company was then marched to parade-ground and took part in the regimental drill. All was enjoyed and seemed interesting to both militia, and civilians. It is remembered in the days of general musters a company of " corn-stalk " militia, as they were called, from one of the rural districts, was formed in the rear of the old court-house. The captain commanding was supposed to possess some military knowledge and pride, and strove to infuse some of the


168 - HISTORY OF MORGAN COUNTY, OHIO.


these desirable accomplishmentS into the men under his command.


Several ludicrous scenes would sometimes occur in the midst of this mimic war. An awkward fellow who had been indulging too freely at the village bar appeared in the ranks at looSe ends. The captain, observing his situation and condition, cried out, " Jim Stokes, stand up, there, pull up them legs, one foot at the mouth of Meigs Creek, the other at the mouth of Salt Creek, heels together, toes out, attention company, heads up, silence, order in ranks, quit acting the fool, don't you See all those city folks making fun of you ? " It took some time to get those noisy, rollicking fellows into military position according to "Cooper," the military tactics consulted at that day. The company being put in shape, the sergeant stepped in front and drew from under his military jacket the muster- roll of the company and commenced calling over the same, first the commissioned and non-commissioned officers, then the privates.


The responses to some of the names afforded much amusement to both bystanders and those in the ranks. The sergeant having a strong voice, and priding himself upon the position he held, acted well his part in the military farce going on before him. He commanded the company : " Stand at ease and attend roll-call," thereupon some Sat down, some lay dOWn in every conceivable position, which convenience or a love of fun might dictate, otherS stood up awaiting the call. She sergeant, with roll in hand, and a pin to mark the abSentees with a prick. called- the name of Peter Stockley, who answered, " I am here." Patrick Holden: "It's me ye are after; I am here, my lord." Silas Smith. Some one in the ranks, after calling his name three times, as was the rule, cried out, "Prick him dOWn ; run off to Vaginny." Enoch Strong. " Cut his foot ; can't walk." Simon Snediker. " Wife sick." Noble Waterman. " Prick him down ; gone West and quit the buSiness." John Williams. "Prick him down ; got married last night." John McQuade. "Prick him down ; gone after the Clanororas." Ned Jones. " Prospecting for silver on Salt Creek ; prick him dOWn." Pat Kinney. " After his runaway buzzard." John Carrol. " Sick at Muttonburg," and so on to the end of the roll were the absentees burlesqued, excused or accounted for by those in the ranks. It was often the case that such scenes took place at roll-call as that above related. Not having access to the muster-rolls, we have been compelled to supply the names of those who were "pricked down" as abSent with the excuses produced. Many of the people looked upon these military demonStrations aS of no great importance, and as each year they became more and more farcical they were ultimately discontinued altogether.


In the early settlement of the West the rifle was the favorite weapon of offense and defense recognized by the pioneer, the hunter or Indian-fighter, and very readily gave to the volunteer or independent companies the name of " Riflemen."


Of the rifle companies attached to the two regiments in 1833 a battalion was formed, with Amos Conway as lieutenant-colonel and Eli Gorby major, with occasional changes afterward as resignations occurred.


In the same year, from the cavalry companies attached to each regiment, a




PICTURE OF C. J. GIBSON


MILITARY - 169


squadron was formed and Mr. Dawes was elected lieutenant-colonel and James Hunter major.


There appears about this time to have been a military epidemic, and an artillery company was raised with Timothy Gaylord captain ; John B. Stone first lieutenant and Robert Pinkerton, second lieutenant. On the resignation of Captain Gaylord John B. Stone was promoted to captain, Robert Pinkerton first lieutenant, and after one or more changes Jacob R. Price was elected captain.

To both of these organizations the State furnished arms and accoutrements; to the cavalry, swords, belts, pistols, holsters, etc., and to the artillery a well mounted six-pound fieldpiece, with all the paraphernalia necessary at least to make some noise in the world, and a full complement of muskets, cartridge-boxes, etc. The pistols and muskets were of the flint-lock pattern.


After a time these organizations became demoralized, and the most of the arms, muskets, swords, pistols, holsters, belts, etc., were stored in one of the upper rooms of the old courthouse, subject to be drawn by any person who desired to use them for amusement or to shoot crows and blackbirds that interfered with the initial corn crop, or to use the swords to cut the crop at maturity. The field-piece, which could not be applied to any agricultural or mechanical use, was permitted to occupy any given space on the street until some of the juveniles desired to hear "the cannon's deaf’ning roar" on the 4th of July or some other jubilant occasion, when it was subject to capture —and storage until wanted—by " the boys" on either side of the river, and on one occasion for temporary safety was deposited in the river. Finally some ambitious youths loaded it to the muzzle with powder and sod, and with a slow match produced its last echo through the hills. But its use on one 4th of July yet lingers in the memory of one who passed unscathed through the Mexican war and now wears a coat with an empty sleeve.


In 1834 General McConnel resigned and John E. Hanna was elected his successor. On his resignation in 1840 (having being elected president judge of the court of common pleas) John S. Love was elected to the vacancy, and on his resignation in 1846 Colonel James Cornelius was elected. For some time the military ardor through the entire State had been on the wane, becoming decidely unpopular, and especially so from local causes in our county, and perhaps this was why General Cornelius was the last of the brigadiers.


That these military organizations were beneficial is probable ; they may have served to some extent to keep up the spirit, with an incentive to the study of military tactics. But the annual parades afforded favorable opportunities to candidates for civil official place, to make the acquaintance of the voters of the county and to anxiously inquire after the health of their families.


THE MEXICAN WAR.


Though apparently dormant, military ardor was readily aroused by the music of the fife and drum. This was apparent in June, 1846, when in answer to a call from the Governor for volunteers for Mexico General Love ordered the militia of the county to assemble in McConnelsville. The order was prompt-


170 - HISTORY OF MORGAN COUNTY, OHIO.


ly obeyed by the " unorganized and undisciplined," and after eloquent appeals to their patriotism by General Love, Honorable J. E. Hanna and others, more than one hundred stepped to the front and enrolled their names under the banner of "our country, right or wrong," as the Morgan Riflemen.


From the number who volunteered a company of eighty-three was organized. General Love was elected captain, Tartus Lindly first and Austin Hawkins second lieutenants. The captain immediately reported to Major-General C. B. Goddard, receiving officer at Zanesville for the district, and in a few days the company was ordered to Cincinnati. Previous to its departure the company was mustered on the parade ground, when Honorable J. E. Hanna presented the captain with a sword, which he carried through the war, not as captain but as major of the third regiment—three regiments being the complement for the State.


In a few days after their arrival at Cincinnati the 1st and 2d Regiments were organized, and Captain Love's company was one of the ten companies required to complete the 3d, to which it was attached; but in the course of a week or ten days all the company, except the captain, were at home! Why? was the inquiry. A major for the 3d Regiment was to be elected, and with Captain Love's company 1n the regiment the election to that place of a young man from Muskingum County who was not a volunteer but a candidate was rather doubtful; but in order to secure it the company (of eighty-three men) was thrown out and another (of only fifty) substituted. This, of course, produced remonstrance from the captain and other officers, but it was of no avail; the company was discharged and furnished with transportation home; but as a retributive measure Love's friends determined to defeat the Muskingum candidate, which result they effected, electing Love, who remained with the regiment as major until discharged at Buena Vista.


MORGAN COUNTY 1N THE REBELLION.


Although the deeds of noble daring on the mountains and plains of Mexico, and the occupation of the capital of the Aztecs, furnished a luminous record of the American soldier, yet the magnitude of the events following the fifteen subsequent years pales their luster and gives to their .memory the features of a dream.


In reference to the battles of the rebellion it may be truly said that


" When Greek meets Greek

Then comes the tug of war."


Both combatants were Americans, and shoulder to shoulder had breasted the storms of war and driven back the hosts of Santa Anna at Buena Vista and Chapultepec. Nor in the history of the world's wars was there ever more display of indomitable courage, more determination to do or die, than was evinced on the battlefields of the rebellion by both belligerents.


It would afford a proud and grateful pleasure, not unmingled with melancholy remembrances, to trace the braves of Morgan County who responded to the first and each successive call for the defense of the "stars and stripes" ; to go with them in their marches through the storms of the elements; to stand with them as they breasted the more intense death-dealing storm of bullets and shrieking shells; to stanch their bleeding wounds; to receive their last

dying messages to their fond mothers or widowed wives, or to tell of the more than Spartan bravery with which they stood up for the Union while confined in the loathsome prisons of the South, starving and dying in the midst of filth, wretchedness and rags ; but this, instead of lines or pages, would require volumes, therefore we make mention of only the most important events in which the soldiers of Morgan County participated. As a matter of connected history it is proper to state that disunion was first engendered in South Carolina, and after more than twenty-five years of threat and delay for an ostensible cause for development the presidential election of 1880 was made the pretext, and on the 20th of December, 1860 the ordinance of secession was passed.


When the not-unlooked-for tidings came a call was immediately made for a mass-meeting of the county, which was held in McConnelsville on the 1st day of January, 1861, attended by citizens of most of the townships. Honorable J. E. Hanna was appointed chairman, and James A. Adair secretary. James M. Gaylord, F. W. Wood, James Moore, George A. Vincent, Enoch Dye, and F. B. Pond, the committee for the purpose, reported resolutions of the Jacksonian stamp, that the Union must, shall and will be preserved.


On the 18th of April, when it was announced that the first gun had been fired by the rebels on Fort Sumter— where the rebel secretary of war (L. P. Walker) exultingly said, " the ball is opened "— and that the president had made a call for 75,000 men, a disposition to respond was immediately manifested, the stripes of the Union were raised on the dome of the courthouse, and another meeting was called.


COMPANY H, 17TH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


In the meantime Honorable J. E. Hanna, Honorable F. B. Pond and others were engaged in raising a company of volunteers responsive to Morgan's quota of the call. On Monday, the 28th of April, the " Morgan Guard," F. B. Pond captain, Amos Whissen first lieutenant, Amos W. Ewing second lieutenant, was mustered in in front of the court house, and after a short and appreciated speech Rev. W. M. Grimes presented, in behalf of a committee of ladies, a beautiful flag which they had prepared, which was received on behalf of the Guards by Honorable J. E. Hanna. The scene was impressive, and is not yet forgotten by the donors or recipients who yet live to "fight their battles over."


It is proper to state that Judge Hanna was named as captain for the company, but declined on account of age. He, however, went with the company to Lancaster on the 7th of May, where it was mustered into the 17th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry for three months, J. M. Connell, colonel, F. B. Pond, lieutenant-colonel, W. H. Floyd, captain, Amos Whissen first and A. W. Ewing 'second lieutenants.


The regiment left Lancaster in May by rail for Bellaire, and thence by boat for the "sacred soil" at Parkersburg.


At Parkersburg the regiment was brigaded with the 9th and 10th Ohio, under General Rosecrans, and in detachments was designed to operate against the guerrillas of the vicinity. In this duty Company II was prominent, traveling for that purpose long, weary miles over the mountainous regions of that portion of West Virginia. With the guerrillas of that region was Gov-

ernor Wise (famous only for the hanging of John Brown), who swore as only the F. F. V.'s of that day could swear that he would " annihilate the Yankees on sight." But the particular attention paid to him by so many Buckeyes disgusted him with the business, and he left one of his strongholds between two days for a more genial locality.


After overserving the term the regiment left for home on the 3d, and was mustered out of service on the 15th of August, 1861.


Francis B. Pond was elected captain but was mustered as lieutenant-colonel on the organization of the regiment.

THE SECOND COMPANY, 26TH REGIMENT


On the afternoon of the mass meeting (April 27, 1861,) Judge Hanna, S. McCaslin, Charles H. Bean and others commenced the enrollment of another company, obtaining more than half the number during the afternoon, and by the 2d of May organized with Suelam McCaslin captain, Charles Bean first and George Newman second lieutenants. The company was raised for the three months' service, but after organization reported and tendered service for three years.


Judge Hanna went with the company to Columbus and left it in camp on the 7th of June. The company was accepted and attached to the 25th Regiment, but before it was mustered into the service, through some intrigue originating in the governor's office (as was then partly, and afterward more fully developed), a dissatisfaction was


MILITARY - 173


engendered between the men and officers, in consequence of which the officers resigned and the company was disbanded. The captain with a part of the company returned home. Some twenty-five or thirty remained in camp and joined the company of Captain Seaton, of Richland County, 26th Regiment, in which Charles Bean was appointed first and Luther Timberlake second. lieutenant.


The 26th Regiment (Colonel Edward P. Fyffe) was organized at Camp Chase in July, 1861, and performed its first service in the Upper Kanawha Valley, remaining in the valley till January, when it was put in Colonel M. S. Hascall's brigade, General Thomas J. Wood's division, in which it remained till October, 1863, serving with .the Army of the Cumberland in the 21st and 22d corps from September, 1862, to October, 1863; then it became a part of the 2d brigade, 2d division, 4th (Granger's) corps. It witnessed much hard marching and fighting, among other movements taking part in the Nashville campaign, siege of Corinth, movement against Murfreesboro, battleS of Stone River, Chattanooga, MiSsion Ridge, etc. At Mission Ridge it met with great loss of life, by this time its numbers becoming reduced (after the close of the battle) to less than 200 men. January 1, 1864, the soldiers of the regiment reenlisted almost to a man and served, doing considerable fighting and skirmishing in Georgia, TenneSsee, and TexaS, until mustered out October 21, 1865.

COMPANY H. 25TH REGIMENT.


By permission from the governor, about the 15th of June, L. R. Green, F. A. Davis and others engaged in raising a company for the three-years service, and on Tuesday, the 25th, with a number of citizens, met at the tOWn hall to elect officers. On motion of C. McGaw F. W. Wood was appointed chairman and C. McGaw Secretary of this meeting.


L. R. Green and F. A. Davis were nominated for captain. The latter declined. A vote was then taken by yeas and nays, and when the chair decided that Green was elected eighteen of the number who had voted for DaviS left the hall, and refused, after urgent solicitations from Davis to take any further part in the company. F. A. Davis waS then unanimously elected first lieutenant. When the name of George Newman was announced for Second lieutenant the chair decided that a vote on the nomination was not in order-but that it was the governor's province to make the appointment.


The same evening the company, less I sixteen of the proper number, left on a steamer for Zanesville, and by the special attention of the lieutenant went by rail to Columbus, and marched into camp at 2 a. m. on the 26th. The company was attached to the 25th Regiment, and although not having the requisite numbers, by the exertions of the lieutenant and the assistance of the captain of another company of the regiment, it was mustered into the service as Company H and commissions presented to Captain L. R. Green, First Lieutenant 'F. A. Davis, and to Second Lieutenant John T. Wood The latter appointment was unexpected to the company ; but as they had been mustered into the service with apparently their full quota there was no remedy, yet more dissatisfaction was Manifested than was 'consistent with military discipline, and only by the influence of Lieutenant Davis was it quieted. The next week's Herald called for "10 or 15 men to fill up the company." In July the regiment was ordered to West Virginia, and stationed along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, from Oakland to the Ohio River, where it remained for some four or five weeks, occasionally interfering with gangs of bushwhackers. In August the regiment reported to General ReynoldS, at Beverly, Va., and after a rest from a fatiguing march wended its way up Cheat Mountain, and encamped on the summit. The soldiers found a cold clime here, and having been constantly on duty or in the fort unprovided with overcoats, and a goodly number without shoes or blankets, they realized some of the discomforts of military life, but with little or no murmuring.


While on Cheat Mountain a train on its way to the valley for rations was surprised and captured by the rebels. Companies D and H. were immediately


MILITARY - 175


dispatched in pursuit. Company H. soon met them, and being reinforced, drove them to their main support, and after a day's fighting with a superior force brought the supplies to the summit.


But space will not permit to descriptively follow them to their Chancellorsville campaign, nor to the surprise by Stonewall Jackson, in which the regiment lost 17 killed, 120 wounded and 30 missing; nor to the bloody field of Gettysburg, nor with them through Maryland and Virginia, or on their march with Sherman to the sea, but leave them at the muster out, in Columbus, on the 18th of June, 1866, after having been in service over five years.

COMPANY E, 2d (WEST) VIRGINIA CAVALRY


This company was recruited at McConnelsville, September 1, 1861, and went into camp at Parkersburg September 15. After being equipped it marched to Guyandotte, Va., where it was encamped until April 18, 1862, performing duty, scouting, drilling, etc. It waS with the expedition to Preston- burg, Ky., January., 5, 1862, where the rebel general Humphrey Marshall was routed with his whole force. April 10, 1862, the company marched to the Kanawha Valley, and thence to Giles C. H., where it was engaged under General Williams. Being compelled to fall back, by reason of the superior numbers of the enemy, it retired to Princeton, and there joined the force under General Cox. After remaining two months at that place the force was ordered to Summerville, where it remained until September 2, 1862. When . the federal forces retreated from the valley to Point Pleasant, October 20, 1862, they advanced up the Valley to Camp Piatt, and there remained until September 29, 1863. During this time the company was doing a great deal of picket and scouting duty. The expeditions of note were those of Sinking Creek, where the rebelS were completely surprised, and nearly all of their equipage, stores, cattle and horses, captured ; and of Lewisburg, May 2, 1863. September 29, 1863, the boys marched to Charleston. and were there brigaded tinder the command of Briga-

dier-General A. :N. Duffle, doing duty of all kinds.


November 3, 1863, they marched to Lewisburg, where the rebels were routed by General Averhill and their equipage and storeS captured, also over one hundred head of cattle which the enemy were driving out of the county. The company marched over 5,500 miles and were engaged in the battles of Opequan, Fisher's Hill, Lynchburg, Cedar Creek, Waynesboro, Wytheville and Petersburg.


The following humorous incident is furnished by R. L. Coburn, of Windsor:


While in camp at Summerville, in the summer of 1862, they were commanded co fall. back. At Gauley Bridge there were some quartermaster's stores which they were ordered to destroy, among which was a quantity of whisky. R L. Coburn was put in command of a Squad of men. for this purpose. One of his command was an Irishman by the name of Pat Bradley, who in spite of Coburn's commands drank a large quantity of the whisky. Hardly had they finished the work of destruction before the confederates began to shell them, and they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat, and old Pat, unable to ride or walk, was thrown into an ambulance drunk as a lord. After rejoining the company they were ordered to make a reconnaissance up the river. Mistaking some Union troops for rebels, a retreat was ordered, in which Coburn's horse fell and broke his neck, and pinning Coburn to the ground. Through the assistance of an orderly he got on his feet and joined the company, where he appropriated old Pat's horse. At daylight the next morning the rebels made a charge, and again the company retreated, and old Pat being without a horse seized the tail of the horse of William Lighthizer, in spite . of his remonstrances, and thus made his escape. The next day Coburn reminded Pat of the good advice he had given him, but Pat., with his Irish shrewdness; insisted that it was not the whisky but the steam that had got up his nose that had inebriated him.

COMPANY F, 18th REGIMENT


This regiment was recruited in the summer and fall of 1861 and organized at Camp Dennison. Company F was partly raised in Morgan County, forty- one of its members being from Homer Township. John Jumper, of Beverly, recruited the company and was made its captain. Robert R. Danford, of Mountsville, was first lieutenant, and William B. Williams, of Ringgold, second lieutenant. The organization of the regiment was completed November 4, 1861, and on the 6th of the month it started for Louisville to report to General Sherman. On the 15th, at Elizabethtown, it was organized into a brigade under Colonel Turchin, of the 19th Illinois, the division being commanded by General O. M. Mitchell. The regiment remained at Elizabethtown a month, moved thence to Bacon Creek, and remained about two months. In February the brigade proceeded to Bowling Green and to Nashville. After the taking of Nashville General Mitchell's command, which was an independent one, proceeded to Huntsville, Ala., taking possession of the country, and causing the rebels to fall back as he advanced. At Huntsville, April 11, about 300 prisoners were captured, seventeen locomotives, 150 cars and quite a quantity of supplies. The 18th was detailed to work the railroad. Tuscumbia was next occupied by a small force, including the 18th. The regiment was then ordered to Athens to guard the railroad. May 1 the pickets of Colonel Stanley were attacked by Scott's rebel cavalry, and the regiment held the rebels in check three hours, against great odds, then retreated toward Huntsville. Subsequently a skirmish occurred in which three of the regiment were killed and several wounded.


May 31 the regiment joined the brigade at Fayetteville and marched thence for Chattanooga across the mountains, 240 miles in twelve days. At Battle Creek the regiment built fortifications and remained till July 11, moving thence across the Cumberland Mountains to Elk River, and to Cowan, Tullahoma and Manchester, guarding the railroad. It was the last regiment to leave Manchester with Buell's retreating column At Nashville the 18th was put in a new brigade under Colonel Stanley (of the 18th), and with another brigade was left for the defense of the city. Colonel Stanley commanded the brigade frCim September 10, 1862, till after the battle of Chickamauga. At Stone River the regiment took a conspicuous part. At Chickamauga the regiment gallantly participated in the closing operations of the fight, not arriving sooner. Sergeant-Major George Hewitt, and John Imbody, of Company H, were commended in the colonel's report for gallantly rescuing the regimental colors. The regiment performed engineering duty, hospital duty, etc., at Chattanooga, until October 20, when it was ordered to Camp Chase, and there mustered out November 9, 1864. Over 150 reenlisted as veterans, and

17TH REGIMENT-THREE-YEARS.


Immediately after the muster-out for the three months (August 15, 1861) successful efforts were made to reorganize for three years ; and the regiment as organized assembled at Camp Dennison on the 30th, where it was drilled until the last of September.


About the 1st of September Amos A. Whissen, who had been 1st lieutenant, in Company H, 17th Regiment, the first company raised in Morgan County, commenced raising a company, which was completed by the 19th. On the 23rd they met and elected Amos A. Whissen captain, Daniel Sheets first and Theodore Stewart second lieutenant, and left for Camp Dennison in the afternoon of the same day. On the 30th the regiment was ordered to Camp Dick Robinson, Ky., where it reported on the 2d of October, 1861. From there it marched and took parr in the battle of Wild Cat, with seven wounded. At Mill Spring it had a share in the defeat of Zollicoffer, and in skirmishes during the siege of Corinth preceding. At the battle of Stone River the regiment was actively and efficiently engaged, and went into line in that battle at 1 p. m. (December 31) and charged on and drove the rebel general Hanson's brigade, killing him and one hundred of the rank and file, with a loss of twenty wounded. At Mission Ridge, though in the rear line in the commencement, it was at the front when the top of the hill was attained.


After the organization as veterans the regiment went with Sherman to the sea, with him through the Carolinas, took part in the battle of Bentonville, passed in review before the presi

dent at Washington, and was mustered out of service at Louisville, Ky., July, 1865.

COMPANIES B AND I, 62D REGIMENT.


Company B was raised simultaneously with Company A, of the 17th Regiment, and on Wednesday, the 1st of October, organized, and elected W. H.


184 - HISTORY OF MORGAN COUNTY, OHIO.


Floyd captain, F. M. Kayler first and J. W. Pinkerton Second lieutenants, and A. J. Fouts as first orderly, and reported at Camp Goddard, ZaneSville, on the 2d.


On or about the 1st of November the regiment was organized—though not yet having quite the complete number of companies-with F. B. Pond, colonel ; S. C. Steel, lieutenant-colonel; D. Debois, major, and Forest Hunter, adjutant.


On Friday, the 15th of November, six companies of the regiment passed dOWn the river, having been ordered from Camp Goddard to Camp Putnam, at Marietta, under the temporary command of Colonel Craig, of the 63d Regiment.


Rumors soon became current that the 62d was to be consolidated with the 63d, in which there were less than three full companies, and Colonel Pond superseded. On Saturday, the 16th, Colonel Craig issued an order for dress parade by all the companies in camp at 4 p. m. One company of the 6241 refused to go on parade, and members of the other companies who responded to the order displayed on their hats " 62d or nothing," " Colonel Pond or nobody," declaring that they would not be commanded by Colonel Craig— that they would die for their rights as they were willing to die for their country.


On Saturday night, the 30th, the recalcitrant six companies of the 62d passed up the river on the steamers " Potwin" and "Jonas Powell," on their return to Camp Goddard, well pleased that they could Pond-er over the disappointment of others. The regiment left Camp Goddard after dark on the 17th of January, 1862, occupying twenty passenger cars, drawn by four locomotives, for Romney, Va.


There was probably no other regiment from Ohio that performed more active service on the battlefield or on continuous fatiguing marches than did the 62d. Follow it from Bellaire, on the Ohio, through Maryland and Virginia, through North and South Carolina, marching and countermarching, east and west. On the 23d of March, 1862, the regiment was at the battle of Winchester. It had a skirmish at Mt. Jackson on the 25th. On the 5th of June, near Port Republic, the regiment, with two advance brigades, met Stonewall Jackson, and after a hard fight of two hours was compelled to retire. On the 4th of January, 1863, the regiment went by transport to Beaufort, N. C., thence by rail to Newbern, and on the 25th by steamer to Port Royal, S. C.; on the 8th of February encamped on Helena Island; on the 3d of April :crossed over to Folly Island ; on the 7th to Morris Island, where, after a hard-fought battle, the rebels were driven from their intrenchments with the loss of fourteen siege guns and all their camp equipage.


On the 18th of July the assault was made on Fort Wagner, in which the regiment, with the two companies from Morgan, was a prominent feature. In this unnecessary and precarious attempt the Union forces sustained a loss of 1,500 men killed, wounded and missing. Of this number the loss of the 62d was 150.


Subsequently the regiment took part in the siege of Charleston, which lasted until the 23d of October, when it returned to Folly Island. In January, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and after the furlough of thirty days rendezvoused

at Washington, and was sent to the front and took part in all the conteSts that raged around the rebel capital. On the 26th it was engaged in an assault made on the rebel works below Petersburg, Va., and was foremost in the assault on Fort Gregg and in the battle of Appomattox, Va.


In September the regiment was consolidated with the 67th, which had been almost continuously with it through all its marches. Company I was partly recruited by Basil Rogers and Perley B. Johnson (son of Dr. P. B. Johnson) and partly by Henry S. Williams, of Noble County. It reported at Camp (oddard after the return of the visit of the six companies from Marietta, and was attached to the 62d, and with Company B participated in all the marches and battles of the regiment, and, until his unfortunate death, Captain Rogers was always in the hour of danger found at the head of Company I.


Captain Basil Rogers was killed at Folly Island by one of his guard. He had gone the rounds about 12 o'clock and had started back toward the camp, but having some additional instructions to impart, turned back for that purpose when within a short distance of one of the posts, but from the darkness of the night and thick growth of underbrush he lost his way, and was shot by the guard.

1829. He studied for the ministry, and in 1853 commenced his ministerial labors. Two years later he was called to the Deavertown conference, where he labored successfully for several years. He was commissioned chaplain of the 62d O. V. I., and was with the command until it was mustered out of the service.


COMPANY F, 77TH REGIMENT.


In the fall of 1861, by the indefatigable exertions of Colonel Hildebrand, the 77th Regiment was recruited and organized at Marietta, and mustered into service about the 1st of February, 1862.


Immediately after organization, and before it was fully equipped, the regiment was ordered to Camp Dennison. On the 17th of February, 1862, it was ordered to report to General Sherman, at Paducah, and on the 20th was assigned to Sherman's Division of Grant's army, and with the 53d and 56th formed the 3d Brigade under Colonel Hildebrand. On the 9th of March the Division joined an expedition under Major-General F. C. Smith to the mouth of. the Tennessee River, thence down the Mississippi, disembarking at Pittsburg Landing. On the 18th of March moved out two miles from the Landing and went into camp at Shiloh Church. On the 1st of April the regiment was ordered up the river to Eastport, Miss., to ascertain the force and position of the enemy at Iuka, where it had its first skirmish, and returned to Pittsburg in time to take part in the battle of the 5th and 7th of April, 1862, in which the regiment occupied a prominent position during the two entire days, only leaving the field on the 7th when night ended the fight. On the 8th the regiment was in the advance in pursuit of the retreating foe, during which time they were charged by Forrest's cavalry; but, fortunately, by the coming up of the 53d Ohio, the rebels were driven back. In this action the regiment numbered only 250 .men and 13 officers. The entire loss during the three days in killed, wounded and missing was 220.


The regiment was with Sherman during the siege of Corinth; afterward encamped in Fort Pickering, at Memphis, in charge of military prisoners; left Memphis on the 31st of July, 1863, with a full complement of men, and was assigned to the 3d Brigade, 3d Division of Steel's Arkansas expedition. On the 23d of December, 1863, the regiment reenlisted and left for Columbus, and after thirty days' furlough was ordered to Little Rock, Arkansas, thence to Shreveport, La., and was engaged in the skirmish in the vicinity of Arkadelphia.


On the 22d of April, 1864, the 77th, under Captain McCormick, with two other regiments, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Drake, of Iowa, was detached to escort a large train of cars to Pine Bluff for supplies. On the 25th, at Mark's Mills, the escort was attacked in detail by General Fagan's rebel Division. First the two regiments under Colonel Drake, though making a splendid defense, were overpowered before Captain McCormick, three or four miles in the rear, could come to his assistance. When the 77th came up it went into the fight and for two hours kept up the unequal contest, but in vain; and almost the entire number took up their march farther South, and on the 15th. of May reached the prison pens called Camp Ford, near Tyler, Texas,


MILITARY - 191


where they remained ten months before they were exchanged.


Those not captured formed a company and took part in a fight at Jenkin Ferry, on the Sabine River, in which they lost more than half their number in killed and wounded.


After their exchange (February, 1865) the regiment, under Colonel Steel, was transferred to the Army of the Gulf; was at the capture of Mobile, thence to the Rio Grande and encamped at Brownsville, Texas, from August, 1865, until March 8, 1866, when it was mustered out of service, and reached Columbus on the 23d, numbering 17 commissioned officers and 348 men. Thus the regiment was the advance and the rear guard of the army.

COMPANY E, 78TH REGIMENT.


The recruiting of this company was commenced about the 1st of November, 1861, by Rev. Thomas M. Stevenson, and others for the 78th Regiment, then being formed at Zanesville, which was afterward organized with M. D,Leggett, colonel. Dr. J. S. Reeves went as sur-


194 - HISTORY OF MORGAN COUNTY, OHIO.


geon to the regiment, and remained in the service until the regiment was mustered out.

On the 23d of December, 1861, the company met and elected Thomas M. Stevenson, Captain ; W. W. McCarty, first and Cyrus M. Roberts, Second lieutenants ; A. W. Stewart, first orderly; Dr. E. G. Coulson, steward of the hospital.


The company went into camp on the 25th of December with ninety-four as strong, brave and reliable men as ever left the county. Captain Stevenson had for a number of years been superintendent of the public schools of McConnelsville, and had the summer previous been licensed to preach. Lieutenant McCarty had long been a resident of McConnelsville, and had filled many of the principal offices of the county, which made him well acquainted in the county and gave him an influence that caused many worthy men to rally for the defense of liberty and the flag. Lieutenant Roberts had long been engaged in merchandising, and, being a young man of good character, influenced many young men to imitate his example and lay down all that was dear upon their country's altar. No company in the regiment did more efficient service, and none suffered more upon the field of battle or from hardship and exposure.


On the 11th of February, 1862, the regiment left for Fort Donelson, where it arrived on the 15th and took position on the field of battle too late to take part in the action yet in time to take charge of the rebel prisoners.


With the regiment we might follow Company E through its devious weary marches and battles, and cite the involuntary tests of some of its members of the luxuries of southern boarding houses, but this has been lucidly written in the " History of the 78th Regiment," from its " muster in " to its " muster out," by Rev. T. M. Stevenson, who was first captain of the company and afterward chaplain of the regiment, in which he says " no company has done more efficient Service, none suffered more upon the field of battle or from hardship and exposure," and a repetition here would be unnecessary.


But two items not given may be of interest. After the evacuation of Corinth by the rebels, Colonel Leggett was sent to Jackson, Tennessee, occupied by a force of rebels, who were driven out, and C. M. Roberts raised the stripes and stars on the same pole on which had been raised the first rebel flag in Tennessee.


On the march of the regiment to Rosswell factories, on the Chattahoochie River, on the 16th of July, 1864, while walking through a clump of bushes, Surgeon Reeves was accosted by a citizen of the country, with a request for a federal surgeon to administer medical aid to his sick daughter. The doctor at first objected, but on a second thought concluded to go with the man who took him down the valley to a cave, where he found about two hundred Union refugees hiding from the persecution of the rebel authorities.


The following were commissioned and assigned to other companies : Sergeant A. A. Adair to captain ; Sergeant Martin Durant to second lieutenant ; Sergeant John Kennedy to second lieutenant, Sergeant James Earich to second lieutenant. The latter refused to be mustered as lieutenant, preferring to carry the colors which he had borne in so many battles.
