COMPANY G, WORCESTER.
This ancient company, the " WORCESTER LIGHT IN- FANTRY," was formed in the year 1803, by Governor Levi Lincoln and others. It served in the war of 1812, commanded by Captain John W. Lincoln, brother of the governor. It was formerly Company B, Third Battalion of Rifles ; but during the first three months of the rebel- lion it was attached to the Sixth. Late in the night of the 16th April, it received orders to report in Boston at noon next day, to start for Washington. Its members were scattered through several towns ; yet, in spite of a . violent storm, ninety-seven men and officers reported for duty. Several military organizations, and the people en masse, escorted them to the cars ; and on the evening of the same day they left Boston. I have not been able, after much effort, to obtain the officers of the company previous to 1861.

The " WATSON LIGHT GUARD " was organized in the year 1851, and at the breaking out of the war was pos- sessed of no little esprit du corps. It was named for Col. Abijah Watson, of Lowell. The officers of the company, previous to 1861, were, -
Captains. - Henry A. Sargent, A. Mason Hyde, Andrew Blood (Capt. 26th Mass.), Jonathan Ladd (Paym'r in U. S. service), John F. Noyes.
