When General Sherman began his campaign to Atlanta, the six companies belonging to the left wing of this regiment were united and assigned to the Second Brigade (Minty's) of the Second Division (Garrard's) of the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Cumberland, and took part in all the battles and skirmishes of that hard fought campaign. At Cartersville, Georgia, the men of the company, whose enlistment had expired, were mustered out October 26, 1864, and the recruits were transferred to the Eighth Cavalry with which they continued to serve until mustered out at Lexington, North Carolina, July 20, 1865.
Both wings of the regiment saw arduous service and were represented in nearly all the memorable battles of the war, from South Mountain and Antietam, Maryland, to Appomattox Court House, Virginia, in the East, and Perryville, Kentucky, and Stone's River, Tennessee, to Bentonville, North Carolina, in the West and South. The regiment's achievements in the field can be gleaned from the general histories of the war. Here are given only the engagements in which Company I bore an honorable part, viz :

LIEUTENANT THOMAS BENTON WILKINSON.
In the Civil War, Lieutenant Thomas Benton Wilkinson, Company I, 3rd Indiana Cavalry, was one of Henry County's bravest and most dashing officers. He is a native of Hancock County, Indiana, where he was born December 10, 1839. His parents were Daniel S. and Mary (Dickinson) Wilkinson, both natives of Virginia. The father was born July 16, 1804, and died in August, 1878. He is buried in the old cemetery at Knightstown. The mother was born in 1807 and died in April, 1847. She is buried in the Harland Cemetery, in Hancock County. They were married near Clarksburg. Harrison County, West Virginia.
The children of this marriage, other than Thomas B., were Elmore, deceased ; Elnathan, now residing in Knightstown; John H., Elizabeth H., Caroline and Martha, all four deceased; George M. who was a soldier of the Civil War in Company I, 3rd Indiana Cavalry, in the roster of which company, his services will be found fully set forth. He lost his life in the army and for that reason his name will be found in the Roll of Honor, published in this History. Another brother, Rufus A., resides in Kansas City, Missouri. There are two children, by a . subsequent marriage, now living : Leonidas K., of Chicago, Illinois ; and William F., of Danville, Illinois.
The family moved from West Virginia to Hancock County, Indiana, in 1836, settling on a farm of which the town of Shirley is now a part. In 1856, Mr. Wil- kinson, the father, with his family, moved to Minnesota, where he remained eighteen months and then returned to Indiana, settling at Indianapolis. He lived there for several years and then moved to Charlottesville, Hancock County. From that point, he moved to Rush County where he lived until his death, as above stated.
THOMAS BENTON WILKINSON.
Thomas Benton Wilkinson left home, at the early age of sixteen, to pursue his own fortune, and from that time, until the beginning of the Civil War, he was
200
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
engaged in sundry pursuits, besides teaching school in Hancock and Henry counties.
He early enlisted in and assisted in recruiting Company I, 3rd Indiana Cavalry, and in the roster preceding this sketch will be found his services and promotions, in full. During the Atlanta Campaign, in the Summer of 1864, he was acting Assistant Quartermaster, on the staff of General Robert H. G. Minty, who commanded a brigade in one of the cavalry divisions of the Army of the Cumberland.
After rendering three years of faithful and arduous service to the cause of liberty and the Union, he returned to his home at Knightstown; but he soon after engaged in the general mercantile business with his brother, Elnathan, at the old town of Elizabeth City, where he remained twelve years, doing a highly prosperous business. In 1879, he returned to Knightstown, where he has since resided, being engaged in the grain and milling business, under the firm name of T. B. Wilkinson and Company, his two sons, below named, constituting the "Company." This firm owns and operates the well known "Eagle Mills," one mile northeast of Knightstown.
In politics Mr. Wilkinson has ever been an active Republican. He is one of the original stockholders in the Citizens' State Bank of Knightstown, of which he is also a director. He is a member of the Jerry B. Mason Post, No. 168, Grand Army of the Republic ; Golden Rule Lodge, No. 16, A. F. and A. M .; Royal Arch Chapter, No. 33; Cryptic Council, No. 29, and Knightstown Commandery, No. 9, Knights Templar, all of Knightstown. He has filled the highest positions in each of the above named bodies, and is justly regarded as one of Knightstown's most energetic and progressive citizens.
At Knightstown, on November 12, 1867, he was united in marriage witlı Miss Clay Anna Ball, a native of Ohio, born March 10, 1847, daughter of Orlando and Harriet Ball. This couple are the parents of the following children : Claude E., residing at Knightstown; Aubrey C., residing at Raysville, where he married Estella, daughter of Charles S. and Martha Hubbard; Mabel G., residing at home with her parents, and Lena E., married to Earl D. Faulkner, a manufacturer, who resides at Winkinson. The sons and son-in-law are all highly prosperous and successful business men. The town of Wilkinson, in Hancock County, is named for this Wilkinson family.
LIEUTENANT TILGHMAN FISH.
Tilghman Fish, the well known and progressive citizen of Knightstown, Indiana, was a soldier of the Civil War, in Company I, 3rd Indiana Cavalry, which organization he was active in recruiting. When the company was fully organized, he was the unanimous choice of his comrades for First Lieutenant, and was commissioned as such. September 13, 1861. and mustered into the service of the United States, October 18, 1861. On account of failing health, he was forced to resign, January 25, 1862. While his time at the front was brief, it did not measure his service during the War. After his return to Knightstown, he was very active in support of the Government, in encouraging enlistments, in soliciting and forwarding to the front sanitary and other supplies and in caring for the
201
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
families of absent soldiers. In the great emergency which threatened the perma- nency of the Union, he did his full and entire duty.
Lieutenant Fish was born near Baltimore, Maryland, November 28, 1829. His parents were Tilghman and Eliza Fish, who came to Indiana in 1836 and settled at Richmond, Wayne County, where they remained three years. They then moved to Greensfork, in the same county, where they lived for seven years. Then removing to Raysville, Henry County, the father there bought or built and operated a woolen mill until 1852, when he disposed of the same. In 1856, the elder Fish removed with all his family, except the son, Tilghman, to Iowa, settling near Columbus Junction, in Louisa County, where the parents died and were buried. The other children of this family were Frank, who died at Richmond; Elizabeth; Anna Eliza ; Amanda and Evan.
When his father sold the woolen mill as above stated, young Tilghman Fish removed to Knightstown and has made that place his home to the present time, witnessing its growth from a small, straggling village to a thriving, enterprising, beautiful town, and himself playing an important part in this growth. He was for nine years in the grocery business and then for twenty eight years in the hard- ware trade. He is now retired from active business but devotes a portion of his time to the Citizens' State Bank at Knightstown, of which he is vice-president and director.
Mr. Fish was first married to Elizabeth Anderson, who died in 1853, about a year after their marriage. He afterwards married Margaret J. Bell, in Knights- town, October 20, 1854. They have no children. Mrs. Fish is a daughter of Harvey and Nancy Bell. She was born in Augusta County, Virginia, December 20, 1829, and came with her parents to Indiana in 1832. The Bell family first settled in Rush County, near the old town of West Liberty, where they lived until 1840, when they removed to Knightstown, where Mr. Bell, for the remainder of his life, was a prominent business man and a highly respected and honored citizen. Harvey Bell was born in 1806 and died in 1886. His wife was born in 1809 and died in 1842. They were married in Virginia in 1827. Both are buried in the old Barrett Cemetery, Rush County, near the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home.
Tilghman Fish is a member of the Jerry B. Mason Post, No. 168, Grand Army of the Republic ; Golden Rule Lodge, No. 16, A. F. and A. M .; Royal Arch Chapter, No. 33; Cryptic Council, No. 29, and Knightstown Commandery, No. 9, Knights Templar, all of Knightstown. Politically, he has been a Republican from the organization of the party.
Mr. Fish's long and active business life merits the confidence and esteem of all who have been honored by his acquaintance. No man in Knightstown or, for that matter, in Henry County, enjoys a more enviable reputation.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THOMAS MITCHELL HUSTON.
PRIVATE, COMPANY L, 3RD CAVALRY REGIMENT AND COMPANY A, 8TH CAVALRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, AND FARMER.
Thomas Mitchell Huston is a native of Fayette County, Indiana, and was born February 3, 1840. His parents were William and Jane (Ramsey) Huston. The mother was the first white child born in Preble County, Israel Township. Ohio. The father was a native of County Antrim, Ireland. The parents were imarried in Preble County, Ohio, and came to Fayette County, Indiana, about the year 1829. Mr. Huston's maternal grandfather Ramsey was a soldier of the War of 1812-15 and was the Captain of a company.
The subject of this sketch was raised in Fayette County, living until he was twenty eight years old on his parents' farm, situate in the southwest part of the county near what is now known as the town of Orange. To his parents were born ten children of whom Thomas M. was the youngest son. On October 21, 1869, he was united in marriage with Mary E. Harris and to them were born two children, both of whom are living, namely, Frank C. Huston, residing in Indianapolis, where he is engaged in the real estate business, and Mrs. Eva Hinchman, wife of Ulysses Grant Hinchman, now residents of Fayette County, where Mr. Hinch- man is a successful and prosperous farmer.
During the Civil War three members of the Huston family entered the service of the United States, to-wit : William Ramsey Huston, private, Company K, 37th Indiana Infantry, who served faithfully and gallantly from October 8, 1861, to October 27, 1864; James Miller Huston, private, Company H, 16th Indiana Infantry (three years' service), in which fainous regiment he remained from August 12, 1862, to June 30, 1865, and Thomas Mitchell Huston, the subject of this biography. The military record of the latter shows that he was a private in Company L, 3rd Indiana Cavalry. He enlisted from Fayette County and was mustered into the service of the United States September 20, 1864, whereupon he was assigned to Camp Carrington, near Indianapolis. While there the time for the October election in Indiana approached and all of the soldiers in that camp were furloughed home to vote. The day prior to their departure for their re- spective homes, Governor Morton came to the camp and made a speech to them, which Mr. Huston describes as one of the greatest speeches he ever heard from the lips of man. Immediately after the election, Mr. Huston returned to Camp Carrington but was soon taken sick with typhoid fever and furloughed home where he remained until January 2. 1865. Between the time of his muster into the service of the United States and his return to Camp Carrington as above noted, the term of three years' service of the 3rd Indiana Cavalry expired and all of the veterans and recruits of that regiment were transferred to the 8th Indiana Cavalry, Private Huston being assigned to Company A of the last named regiment. Private Huston, with the other recruits for the regiment, left Camp Carrington for New York, January 31, 1865, and sailed from that city February 6, for Hilton Head, South Carolina. The trip occupied nine days during which there was a terrible storm and during the whole of one Sunday they were chased by a Confederate privateer. They remained a day at Hilton Head and were then transferred to a small vessel and

sent up one of the numerous rivers or inlets emptying near Hilton Head, witlı the intention of making a landing and getting information, which would enable them to join General Sherman's army, which was then marching through the Carolinas. In this they were unsuccessful and returned by water to Beaufort, South Carolina, finally landing at a place about forty five miles from Charleston, to which city they marched overland, reaching there about the first of March. Among the interesting events in the soldier life of Thomas Mitchell Huston was the restoration of "Old Glory" to the walls of Fort Sumter, from which it had been banished by four years of bloody war. On April 14, 1861, the Confederates had compelled the lowering of the flag by a severe bombardment but now the identical flag then hauled down was again to be raised over the old fort. A Federal army, under General Quincy A. Gilmore, had taken possession of Charles- ton, February 18, 1865, and on April 14, 1865, by order of the War Department, to Major Anderson, who had lowered the flag, was now assigned the duty of restoring it to the battlements of the fort. In this welcome duty, Major Anderson was assisted by as many of his old garrison as had survived the shock of war. The Reverend Henry Ward Beecher delivered an address and during the day minute guns were fired in honor of the occasion. The day and place had been chosen by the government as most fitting to mark the close of the Civil War. Charleston, the beginning; Charleston, the end. The restoration of the flag was witnessed by Mr. Huston and his recollection of this memorable event is partic11- larly vivid and exact. The day, however, was destined to be associated with the most tragic event in American history-the assassination of President Lincoln, upon the threshold of peace. Soon after these striking events above narrated, Private Huston with many other soldiers, at Charleston, was transferred by water to Moorehead City, North Carolina, and thence by rail to join the command of General Judson Kilpatrick, commanding the cavalry forces of General Sherman's army. He was with the army at the time of the surrender of the Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston, at Durham Station, near Raleigh, North Carolina, and after that event went with his regiment to Greensboro and thence to Lexington, North Carolina, where the regiment was mustered out and soon afterwards returned to Indianapolis for final discharge.
After the close of the Civil War, Mr. Huston resided continuously in Fayette County, the place of his nativity, until the year 1890, when he disposed of his possessions there and with his family moved to Center Township, Rush County, about five miles south of Knightstown, where he lived until 1901, when he established his home at the last named place where he has since resided, and which he regards as his permanent home. After his removal to Knightstown, Mr. Huston disposed of his Rush and Henry County farms and re-invested the pro -. ceeds in Indianapolis rental properties.
The parents of Mr. Huston's wife were William and Sarah (Sutton) Harris. The father was a native of Delaware and the mother of Pennsylvania. They at first settled in Franklin County, Indiana, where they were married, March 18, 1842. They afterwards located in Fayette County, where they continued to reside until their respective deaths. William Harris, the father, died August 16, 1884, and Sarah Harris, the mother, died December 27, 1895. Both are buried in Fayette County, near the town of Orange. Mrs. Huston's paternal grandmother was
204
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Mary Morton of Wilmington, Delaware, of whom Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's great war governor, was a relative.
Mr. and Mrs. Huston are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and in politics Mr. Huston has always been a loyal Republican. He was for a number of years a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, being a charter member of the Post at Orange, Fayette County. Death, however, has been busy among its members and like many others it has ceased to exist.
Samuel Sutton Harris, the only brother of Mrs. Huston, enlisted in the army during the Civil War and became Corporal of Company F, 139th Indiana Infantry. He was mustered into the service of the United States June 5, 1864, and died at Mumfordsville, Kentucky, June 28, 1864, where he was buried but his remains have since been removed to a National Cemetery.
Aside from the stirring incidents of his war service, Mr. Huston's life has been quiet and uneventful. Happy in his domestic relations, he has never sought publicity. In his chosen line, however, his has been a successful life and now to enjoy the years that are left him, he has retired from the active pursuits of life, content with a competency accumulated by his own labors.

HISTORY OF THE
FOURTH CAVALRY (77TH) REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Fourth Cavalry (Seventy Seventh Regiment) was organized at Indian- apolis, August 22, 1862. At first the regiment was widely separated, two companies being at Carrollton, four at Henderson and the remainder, except Company C, at Louisville, Kentucky. Company C acted as escort for General A. J. Smith throughout the Vicksburg Campaign and the Red River Expedition, but finally joined its regiment in 1864. On account of the service of this company at Vicks- burg, Indiana has erected a monument to the regiment at that place. The regiment operated extensively in Kentucky, engaging the enemy at Madisonville, Mount Washington, Mumfordsville and many other points. In February, 1863, it was at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and March Ioth fought the enemy at Rutherford's Creek, near that place. At Murfreesboro, the regiment being united, except the one company above mentioned, entered the campaign to Chattanooga, and Septem- ber 19 and 20, took part in the battle of Chickamauga. It took part in the East Tennessee Campaign and at Fair Garden participated in a severe battle with the enemy. The regiment was in the advance on Atlanta and took a conspicuous part in the McCook Raid. It was very active as a part of the cavalry corps throughout the Tennessee Campaign, and distinguished itself in the Alabama and Georgia Cam- paigns. Returning from Macon, Georgia, in May, 1865, it reached Nashville and there remained in the cavalry camp at Edgefield across the Cumberland River, until mustered out of the service, June 29, 1865.
This regiment and the Second Indiana Cavalry were so closely allied in the battle of Chickamauga, that the history of the two in that engagement is combined and fully set out following the Second Cavalry.
Henry County had but three representatives in this regiment, viz : Major and Surgeon, William F. Boor ; Lieutenant and Quartermaster, John Thornburgh, and Private, Joseph B. McGuffin. The facts for this brief history of the regiment are furnished by Lieutenant Thornburgh. Indiana has erected a monument to this regiment at Chickamauga, bearing the following inscription :
INDIANA'S TRIBUTE
TO HER FOURTH REGIMENT CAVALRY. Lieutenant Colonel John T. Deweese, Commanding. Second Brigade (Ray). First Division (E. M. McCook). Cavalry Corps (Mitchell).
On the 19th of September, 1863, this regiment when guarding the supply trains about one mile from Stevens' Gap, had a spirited skirmish with the enemy's cavalry, repulsing it and bringing the train through. On Sunday morning, the 20th, the regiment with its brigade, was in line of battle near Crawfish Springs, and skirmished with the enemy until .4 p. m., when it was ordered to fall back by the Dry Valley road.
This regiment bore an honorable part in the following engagements :

HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF WILLIAM FRANCIS BOOR, M. D.
MAJOR AND SURGEON, 4TH CAVALRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, AND BANK PRESIDENT.
William Francis Boor, M. D., was born in Perry County, Ohio, June 10, 1819. He is the sixth of a family of seven children of Nicholas and Rachel (Guisinger) Boor, who were Pennsylvanians, of German descent.
Losing his father in early childhood, it became necessary for him to depend on his own exertions. As soon, therefore, as he was able, he was put to work assisting on a farm, or "striking" in his brother's blacksmith shop when he was so small · that he had to stand on a block "to swing the heavy sledge with measured beat and slow." Working in Summer time and attending school during the Winter season did not fully meet the earnest desires of the young man for an education; but while educational opportunities were limited, his teachers were men of the most sterling worth-men of "ye olden time school," who taught thoroughness in letters, purity in morals, and uprightness in character, which at times were almost severe. With such an instructor as Robert Stuart, and a determination to succeed, advance- ment was rapidly made, so that the pupil soon occupied the position of teacher, still pursuing his studies more zealously. Obtaining a good English education, in April, 1842, he became a student of medicine in the office of Drs. Dillon and Spencer, in Uniontown, Muskingum County, Ohio, with whom he studied three years.
The fertile and growing State of Indiana was then the attractive point of immigration, and to Henry County the young doctor made his way on horseback in June, 1845. Shortly after his arrival in Indiana he received a call from Carlisle, Monroe County, Ohio, and by the advice of his preceptor, Dillon, he returned to his native State, and at once engaged in a good practice in Carlisle. In visiting his patients, he would frequently contrast his climbing the rugged hills of Monroe County with "what might have been" in Henry County had he remained in the West. In the spring of 1846, a fire breaking out in the block containing his office, everything he had was consumed but his horse and the clothes he wore. This circumstance confirmed him in his decision to leave Carlisle where he had made many friends in his year's practice. No railroads, and the stage lines not connecting, he again started on horseback for Indiana, arriving at Middletown. Henry County, August, 1846. Here, in a short time he built up an extensive and profitable practice. Now fully established in his profession, he returned to Muskingum County, Ohio, and was there married April 15, 1847, to Miss Cath- arine E. Axline. This happy union was broken by her death in March, 1852. In the following October, determined upon obtaining greater proficiency, he entered the Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in March. 1853. He also attended the practice of the physicians of the Pennsylvania Hospital for one year (1852-3). Returning to Middletown, he again resumed his practice. day and night bearing the hardships of a pioneer doctor, plodding bad roads and corduroy bridges, exposed to the inclemency of the weather. In the spring of 1857 he disposed of his property, and prepared to leave Middletown, where he had practiced medicine eleven years. Strong ties of friendship and
