The above-named recruits were mustered in at different times during 1863 and 1864.

The Thirteenth Infantry. - This regiment went into camp at Concord, in September, 1862, with Aaron F. Stevens, of Nashua, late major of the First Regiment, colonel ; George Bowers, also of Nashua, a veteran of the Mexican war, lieutenant-colonel; and Clement Storer, of Portsmouth, major. It left the state early in October, and its service throughout was in Virginia. It was mustered out June 20, 1865, and arrived home about the first of July. It was engaged at Fredericksburg, Suffolk, Drury's Bluff, Petersburg, and, in other notable conflicts, and on all occasions won and maintained high credit.

Colonel Stevens was brevetted brigadier, and was subsequently a member of Congress. He was distinguished as a public man and lawyer, and died early in 1887, at his home in Nashua, honored and respected by all.

Company A of this regiment went from this county, chiefly from the eastern and northern part, with William Grantman, of Wakefield, as captain, and Buel C. Carter and Charles B. Gafney, of Ossipee, as first and second lieutenants. Captain Grantman was subsequently promoted to major and lieutenant-colonel ; Lieutenant Carter to captain and assistant quartermaster ; Second Lieutenant Gafney to first lieutenant and captain ; and Sergeant Henry Churchill, of Brookfield, to second lieutenant. Captain Carter was wounded, and after the war practised law several years in Wolfeborough, till, his health failing, he moved to Rollinsford, and died a few years later. He was a good lawyer, bright, young, and ambitious, but ill-health crippled him, and death cut him down in the midst of his career and usefulness.

MILITARY AFFAIRS.

This biographical sketch from the pen of Captain Gafney may not be amiss : -

Buel Clinton Carter was born in Ossipee, N. II., January 20, 1840. He attended the common school, " The Old Academy " at Wolfeborough, fitting for college at Phillips Exeter Academy. Ile entered Yale in 1858, graduating in 1862. He was a classmate with W. H. HI. Murray, Joseph Cook, and D. H. Chamberlain, of South Carolina. On his return home from college his services were offered in organizing Company A, Thirteenth New Hampshire Volunteers, and he was mustered into the service as a first lieutenant. At the battle of Fredericks- burg, December 13, 1862, he was severely wounded. In July, 1863, he was commissioned captain, and in 1864 as captain and acting quartermaster, and assigned to duty in the artillery brigade of the Eighteenth Army Corps.

In 1865 he was brevetted major, and was mustered out of the service at the close of the war, and was subsequently deputy collector of internal revenue for southwestern Virginia. On his return from the army and his official duties in Virginia, he commenced the study of his profession in the office of his father, Sanborn B. Carter, Esq., and after admission to the bar, located at Wolfeborough where for ten years he had a lucrative and successful practice, holding for several terms the office of prosecuting attorney for Carroll county. In 1878, by reason of failing health, - " the sequence of exposure in army life," - he was compelled to relinquish business temporarily, and removed to Rollinsford (to a farm two miles northeast of Dover) where he sought to regain his health and strength by devoting his time to out-of-door pursuits. In 1879 he became a member of the law firm of Carter and Nason, and practised his profession in Dover. In 1881 he was appointed bank commissioner, and held that office at the time of his death, December 11, 1886.

Lieutenant-Colonel Grantman was mustered first May 23, 1861, as a private in company H, First Massachusetts Infantry, where he served over a year, being wounded three times at the first battle of Bull Run, and twice near Yorktown. While recovering from these wounds he happened to be in Wake- field at the time the Thirteenth Regiment was being raised, and at the earnest solicitation of the citizens of that town he consented to accept the captaincy of company A, which was raised through the patriotic efforts of himself and others. He was subsequently promoted to major and lieutenant-colonel, and commanded the regiment (when not sick), while Colonel Stevens was in con- mand of a brigade, but was finally reluctantly compelled by continued ill-health to leave the service, and has since the war been in business in Boston. Lieu- tenant Gafney was severely wounded near Petersburg, June 15, 1864, was promoted to captain, and is now a successful lawyer at Rochester, in the prime of life, and with bright prospects of success before him. It appears from the record that Lieutenant Churchill, of Brookfield, was a very efficient officer, and would have made a large mark had his health been good. " He was brave, prompt, faithful, and thorough as a soldier ; genial, companionable, quick-witted, and honest to a fault." His constitution becoming undermined by the climate, he was finally compelled to leave the service, and died March 19, 1885, from the immediate effects of a very peculiar accident. " He was employed in the United States mail service, having charge of the mails at the railway station at Concord. Early one evening he went from his work to his home, and sat down to take off his Congress boots. While removing one of them, the elastic sides clinging somewhat, by a sudden jerk he broke the bone of his leg just above the knee. The bone was shattered, his vitality had been so much reduced that the bone would not knit; pieces soon came out, and blood-poisoning

160

ensued. He said that a shell had come very near or grazed his leg, and he had always felt a degree of lameness in it after that occurrence."

Those from this county in this regiment, besides these named above, shared all its vicissitudes, and are worthy of the honors bestowed on this gallant organization.

These recruits were mustered in 1863 and 1864.

The Fourteenth Infantry. - This was the last three-years regiment. It was composed of excellent men, who discharged their duties with exemplary fidel- ity and honor. It was mustered at Concord, September 24, 1862, and left the state the latter part of the ensuing October. It first reported at Washington and spent the winter in picketing forty miles of the Potomac, did provost and guard duty in Washington in 1863, and the next spring was ordered to New Orleans, but came north the next summer, when it went into the Shenandoah Valley, engaging in the historic campaign of that year. The succeeding Janu- ary it was sent to Savannah, Ga, coming north again in July, being mustered out at Concord on the twenty-sixth of that month.

It was originally commanded by Robert Wilson, of Keene, colonel ; Tileston A. Barker, of Westmoreland, lieutenant-colonel ; and Samuel A. Duncan, of Plainfield, major. Colonel Wilson was honorably discharged September 6, 1864, when Major Alexander Gardner was promoted to colonel, and mortally wounded at Opequan Creek the nineteenth of the same month, dying the eighth of October following.

In this regiment a large majority of company K came from this county, chiefly from Sandwich. Oliver H. Marston, of Sandwich, now of Stoneham, Mass., was captain, occasionally in command of the regiment, and was subse- quently promoted to lieutenant-colonel ; Moulton S. Webster, of Sandwich, was the first second lieutenant, afterward promoted to first lieutenant, mortally wounded at Opequan Creek, Va, September 19, 1864, and died in Sandwich, November 5 following. " Moulton S Webster Post, No. 68, G. A. R.," Centre Sandwich, is so named in his honor.

Company K was composed of good men. Many were wounded, and died of wounds or disease ; while some are yet living to enjoy the honors they won,

162

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.

and are filling honorable positions in the community. William A. Heard, of Sandwich, went out as quartermaster, and is at present United States bank examiner for Maine and New Hampshire. William F. Quimby, a grandson of General J. D. Quimby, of Sandwich, went out first as a sergeant, was wounded at Opequan Creek, September 19, 1864, was subsequently promoted to second lieutenant, and has been for the past two years one of the selectmen of Sand- wich. Benjamin F. Fellows, the quartermaster's sergeant, another grandson of General J. D. Quimby, has been one of the selectmen of Sandwich several years, and is the present representative to the legislature.

In fact, General Quimby, though dead, was largely represented in the war of the Rebellion by those of not very distant kin, both in the army and navy, and in all grades, from that of private to colonel. One nephew, six grandsons, and five grandnephews served. One grandnephew was adjutant of one New Hampshire regiment and colonel of two; and one was colonel of the Thirty- eighth Illinois Volunteers. One grandson served through the war while very young, afterward graduated at West Point, and after entering the United States service as lieutenant, was severely wounded while fighting the Indians in the Northwest, and is now a captain in the regular army. One grandnephew was in the marine corps, and as corporal commanded one of the guns on board the Kearsarge when she sunk the Alabama.

Of course a good deal could be written in reference to the efforts made to raise a regiment, or company even, and what is true of one might apply to all, perhaps, by changing names and places. And at the risk, possibly, of being tedious or prolonging this chapter to an undue length, I will insert a little history relating to the Fourteenth Regiment and Company K, as a partial but very mild illustration of the manner in which regiments were made up, to more or less extent, during the war.

When the call for troops in 1862 was issued, an effort was made to raise a company in Sandwich. The first enlistment, under Oliver H. Marston and William M. Weed as recruiting officers, was July 30, and continued till the roll numbered eighty-five. In the meantime a public meeting was held, at which the town voted to give $100 bounty to each enlisted man. In two weeks from July 30 they were ready for work and were drilled two or three times a week by O. H. Marston and M. S. Webster, the latter having the benefit of previous military experience as a sergeant in the Sixth Massachusetts Militia for some years. Early in September a meeting of the recruits was held, which resulted in the election of the following officers: Calvin Hoit, captain, O. H. Marston, first lieutenant, Moulton S. Webster, second lieutenant. This election took place with the expectation of filling out the company in Concord by single recruits ; but upon arriving at Concord, September 19, it was found impracti- cable. Jason D. Snell, who had been but a short time discharged from the regular army, had raised twenty-three men in Pembroke, given them thorough

163

MILITARY AFFAIRS.

and successful drill, and arrived with them in Concord. He offered to unite his force with that from Sandwich upon condition that he should have the first lieutenancy, and one of his men, J. M. Prentiss, the position of sergeant. His offer was accepted, and O. H. Marston was commissioned captain, Jason D. Snell first lieutenant, and M. S. Webster second lieutenant. It was the last company of the Fourteenth which went into camp at Concord. This arrange- ment was a compromise, as was the case in the organization of nearly every regiment which left the state, and probably made no particular difference in the final result or fortunes of any one except Calvin Hoit. The governor and council finally decide who shall be commissioned, and in this case, if Sandwich had raised at the time from twenty to thirty more men, no doubt the first election of officers would have been ratified. Calvin Hoit was an officer in the old militia, held different commissions in the rifle company of the Nineteenth Regiment several years, was its captain, and a good one too, from 1841 to 1846, and no doubt would have made a good captain in 1862. He is a brother of the late Dr Otis Hoit.

It required some skill and patience to finally arrange the commissions satisfactorily in the late war. I suppose every regiment and company had similar experience to this, only many cases were more intricate and difficult. A company of from 64 to 100 men can have but three commissioned officers. The field officers of a regiment are first appointed, and a camp established somewhere to receive the men and organize. Probably 100 men or 50 are already on the ground, and thereafter, until the regiment is full, squads of from 10 to 40 men are continually arriving in charge of some one individual who confidently expects a commission, and if he cannot get one perhaps he will not go at all. Now, as there can be only three commissions issued for about 100 men, while it takes four or five of these squads to make up the company of 100, and each headed by a prominent candidate for captain, or first or second lieutenant at least, the result is that there is a good deal of diplomacy required and displayed, and as a consequence some are satisfied with what they get, and many, of course, dissatisfied.

Lieutenant Webster was born in Sutton, Vt, October 9, 1823, and not long after removed with his parents to Sandwich, where he resided (except a few years in Massachusetts) until he joined the brave band of volunteers for the Civil War. He held the position of second lieutenant in Company K, Fourteenth New Hampshire, until he was mortally wounded, September 19, 1864, at the battle of Opequan Creek. He lived to reach his home in North Sandwich, and died soon after. He was a faithful, conscientious officer, and universally respected as a man. is his only brother. December 28, 1823.

James Y. Webster, of the United States Signal Service, Corporal Oceanus Straw was born in Sandwich, N. H., He was a farmer; resided in Sandwich at the time of his enlistment, August 14, 1862, in Company K. He was mortally wounded

164

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.

September 19, 1864, at Opequan, died in hospital at Winchester, Va, September 26, and was buried in the National Cemetery there.

Company K had the two tallest men in the regiment, Benjamin Estes, from Sandwich, and Herman Blood, from Pembroke, each six feet and four inches in height ; also, the shortest man, John Atwood, from Sandwich, five feet, five inches.

The average height of the men from New England, and in fact most of the northern states, was five feet ten inches, and they were capable of doing most anything required of them, either physical or intellectual.
