The company left Lakeville Oct. 22, 1862, and embarked with its regiment on the same day for Newberne, N. C., on board the steamers " Merrimac" and " Mississippi." It afterwards engaged in the battles of Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldsboro', and on the 6th of March went into Jones and Onslow Coun- ties, and on the 16th went with its regiment to Corn Creek on an expedition to raise the siege of Wash- ington. On the 24th it returned to Newberne, and on the 11th of June embarked for Boston, where it arrived on the 16th, and was mustered out of the service on the 26th.
Besides the above, the following Plymouth men enlisted on the quota of nine months' men :
Edward H. Hall, age 31; chaplain 44th Regt .; clergyman. James B. Brewster, age 20; hosp. steward Co. D, 44th Regt .; student.

Of the above enlisted nine months' men, thirty-five received a bounty of one hundred dollars each. Nonc were killed, and Horace Holmes was wounded at the battle of Whitehall.
On the 17th of July, under a draft, William Ross
commuted, Horace P. Bailey, Jesse Harlow, George A. Whiting, Francis H. Russell, Alfred Mayberry, Edward W. Atwood, William T. Dunham, Charles F. Ellis, John T. Stoddard, Lemuel B. Bradford, Lorenzo M. Bennett, Charles F. Harlan, and Gus- tavus G. Sampson found substitutes, and the three following entered the service :
Jedediah Bumpas, age 35 ; private Co. C, 9th Regt. ; laborer. Thomas Dexter, age 25 ; private 55th Regt. ; freed slave. Charles Wadsworth, age 29; private 12th Regt .; moulder.
A call for three hundred thousand men was issued by the President, Oct. 17, 1863, who were to be raised before Jan. 5, 1864, to avoid a draft. Soon after a new call for five hundred thousand men, in- cluding the previous three hundred thousand, was issued, and the quota of Plymouth was fixed at one hundred and seventeen. The selectmen had, in an- ticipation of a call, opened a recruiting-office long before, and, according to the accounts kept by them, had filled the quota before the call was made. At the last moment they were notified that certain claims for men in the navy had not been allowed, and that some men who had been in camp some time had not been mustered in, so as to be credited to the town. The consequence was that a draft for twenty-five men was ordered, and of those drafted Walter Gilbert alone was accepted, and he furnished a substitute. Before another draft was ordered the selectmen had obtained enough recruits in Boston to render a further draft unnecessary.
At a town-meeting held on the 31st of May, 1864, a vote was passed authorizing the payment of a bounty of one hundred and twenty-five dollars to each recruit, and a committee-consisting of William S. Danforth, George F. Weston, Edward B. Hayden, Everett F. Sherman, and Charles O. Churchill-was appointed to raise funds to increase the bounty to such an amount as might become necessary. With the sum of $3776.25 raised by this committee, the selectmen obtained the following recruits to make up the deficiency above referred to :
Wm. G. Blythe, 28th Regt. Thomas Coogan, unattached. John Ely, 2d Regt.
Wm. Johnson, 5th Cav.
Gustavus A. E. Miller, 20th Regt.
Dennis Bassingham, unat-
tached.
David Dow, 2d Regt.
Robert Henry, 5th Cav.
J. Lang, 2d Regt.
Peter H. Mara, 2d Regt.
James McDonald, unattached. William Mullins, 2d Regt.
Michael Maloney, 2d Regt. Thomas Nolan, 2d Regt.
John Purdy, 2d Regt.
Eldridge Reed, unattached.
John Slocum, 2d Regt. Edwin Terry, 2d Cav.
George Williams, 2d Cav.
James White, 2d Cav.
Charles E. Williams, 5th Cav. William Johnson, 5th Cav.
To these were added four recruits for the navy in- cluded in the navy list, which more than filled the

quota. In July, 1864, another eall for five hundred thousand men was issued, of which the quota of Plymouth (as before) was one hundred and seventeen. The seleetmen, however, had been assiduously contin- uing their enlistments, and by persistent efforts had finally seeured the eredits for men in the navy before denied them, thus redueing the quota to twenty- seven. For the purpose of enabling the seleetmen to seeure recruits to fill this quota the committee chosen by the town raised the sum of five thousand and eleven dollars by subseription, and the following reeruits were obtained :
James F. Andrews, 61st Regt. Wilhelm Bruns, 2d Regt.
Thomas Bacon, 2d Regt. Charles Brooks, 26th Regt. John Clark, 2d Cav.
Henry Crosley, 5th Cav.

John A. Keefe, 29th Unat- tached.

Alvin H. Henry, 2d Cav. Patrick Kelley, 2d Regt. William Lee, 2d Regt. John Lyden, 2d H. Art. Lewis Payzant, 2d Cav.
Edward Payne, 2d Cav.

To these is to be added a representative reeruit voluntarily purehased by Daniel E. Damon, Esq., and eredited to the town.
