Lang, Geo. B., Band : After muster-out of regimental band, was in brigade band. Later, was on his way South to be employed in the post office at Hilton Head, and was lost at sea.
Lockwood, Albert N., Co. H: Wounded 18 July 1863. Said to have had his musket shot out of his hands, knocked down. and collar bone broken.

Locke, Henry W., of Barrington : Enlisted 10 Ang. 1861. Born at Hollis, Me .; age 24; 5 ft. 5 in. high; brown eyes, black hair and dark complexion ; farmer. The same man enlisted in Tenth New Hampshire, Co. I, and deserted therefrom.
Livingstone, Geo. F., Co. I : Deserted at New York in November, 1864. when the regiment was there to guard the ballot. As he was mustered out at Galloupe's Island, Boston, 15 May 1865, the probability is that he returned under the President's Proclamation.
Leonard, Wilbur W., Co. K : He was made a Sergeant at Concord; but on the presumption that he was to have a commission in the Fifth New Hampshire, he was dropped from the rolls at once, and the place filled be- fore the regiment left Concord. He having been dropped irregularly, was properly of the Third New Hampshire. He went with the Fifth as far as Washington, but failed to be commissioned. He died at Washington, 1 May 1862, of disease. He was never restored to the Third New Hampshire rolls.
MeIver, Murdock, Co. D: Was a recruit, enlisting on Morris Island during the re-enlisting excitement. Ile was actually enlisted 28 Jan. 1864, by Capt. Jonah Libby, Jr., but was not mustered in till 26 Feb. 1864, as of 28 Jan. 1864.

McQuestion, Jerome B., Co. II : After arrival at Camp Parole, Annap- olis, was discharged. The official notice did not reach regiment promptly, and he was borne on the rolls for more than a year after actual discharge.
Mining, Thomas W., Co. C: Twice in same company - first, as an original volunteer, in service three months; second, as a substitute recruit, mustered in 10 Dec. 1st4.
Mckinnon, Daniel B., Co. A : In December, 1863, two men reached Co. A as recruits, having answered to the names of George Russell and William Nash. Their real names were Daniel B. MeKinnon and George Thompson. After reaching the Company they informed its commanding officer, Lieut. Woodbury, that they really enlisted for the Fourth New Hampshire; and
1021

that while they were absent on a pass, two other men wrongfully answered to their names, and went to the Fourth New Hampshire. When the substi- tntion was discovered, they were told that if they would act rice rerse and be sent to the Third New Hampshire, they would have no difficulty in being " swapped" afterwards. This story was reported to Department Head- quarters, and the edict went forth that they had better stay where they were. Result: \t end of month the two false names were dropped, and the two real names substituted.
Moore, J. F., Co. D : Was on re-enlistment furlough, at Portsmonth, N.II. Was sick at its expiration. A surgeon's certificate was obtained, and supposably forwarded. On recovering, was arrested at Portsmouth. A corporal from Fort Constitution went home with him first night. Thence to Concord next day, and to State Prison for safe keeping.

Pelkey, David II., Co. I : Original volunteer. Wounded 18 July 1863. Re-enlisted. Wounded 16 Ang. 1864. and sent to hospital. His final record is that in the clearing out of hospitals, he was at De Camp General Hospital, and was sent from there to New York City, to be mustered out, but with the charge of desertion attached to him (from the hospital 18 July 1865). Gen. Hooker, commanding Department of the East, ordered that he be re- lieved from the charge of desertion, on condition that he forfeit all bounty and pay and allowances dne or to become due. The order is dated 31 Ang. 1865. Ilis discharge dates 4 Sept. 1865. The order of Gen. Dix erroneously described him as of Co. E.
Pingree, Aaron S .: Unassigned. A volunteer recruit of 1862. En- listed at Concord, by Benj. E. Badger. Mustered in 21 Ang. 1862, and forwarded 16 Sept. 1862 (presumably alone). No further record or infor- mation.

Pevear, Samuel L., Co. D : Was absent sick, and was ordered to spe- cial duty on Hospital Steamer J. K. Barnes, which afterward went to Fort Fisher. He remained on this steamer till mustered out in July, 1865, at New York.
Perkins, David W., Co. D : Said to have always carried a diminutive U.S. flag in his knapsack, so that he could be the first to plant the colors on any captured work, should he have the opportunity. Killed at Drewry's Bluff, 13 May 1864. Capt. Maxwell says he had him buried where he fell.
Paine, De Witt C., Co. G : Apparently left behind when the regiment left Concord, and never rejoined. Ile reported at West Lebanon, N.IL., 11 March 1865, under the President's Proclamation, and was mustered out 11 May 1865, at Concord, N. IL., with loss of all pay and allowances.

Quigley, Peter, Co. II : Substitute recruit. His real name Stephen Shortell, though he was usually called " John." Was detached for duty as Bugler in Battery C, Third Rhode Island Artillery, in Virginia. Never re- turned. As nearly as can be ascertained he got into some kind of melee, and was sent to hospital, sav in October, 1864. Presumably he got a fur- lough, was taken sick, and did not return. He lived in Boston after the war, and was accidentally killed 3 Sept. 1889, by falling from a ladder (he was a painter). (See Other Service. ) A widow survives him.

Trotter, Grant, Co. G: Wounded 16 June 1862; sent to hospital ; whereabouts unknown at regiment; was sent North, to New York and to different hospitals, finally reaching Convalescents' Camp at Fort Hamilton. New York. Recovering, was placed on duty. Reached the regiment at Hilton Head, immediately prior to its being mounted ( March, I>6t). Mean- time had been dropped as deserter; but on information reaching regiment from Fort Hamilton, he was taken up on rolls, and then reported as on detached service. No discredit attaches to him, as he served faithfully, participating in all the actions in Virginia till his muster-out.
Thompson. John, Co. H: Substitute recruit; mustered in 13 Dec. 1864; credited to Hinsdale ; mustered out 20 July 1865.
Thompson, John, Co. II : Mustered in 13 Dec. 1864; credited to Swan- zey ; deserted en route to regiment.
Vincent, Rupert, Co. H : Substitute recruit; mustered in 6 Oct. 1863. It appears well authenticated that he was a son of Livingstone, the great African explorer. Died of wounds in a rebel prison.
Wiggin, Daniel 1I., Co. B : Ile was sick, and was admitted to the Tenth Army Corps Hospital, at Point of Rocks, 20 Sept. 1864; was trans- ferred to Base Hospital, at Jones Landing, 1 Oct. 1864, and discharged therefrom 10 Oct. 1864. From that point is a blank. Joined the regiment on its way to Concord, in July, 1865, and stated that he had been furloughed from the hospital. to go home; and he had been ill and unable to rejoin. Later, he got final payment, to include 1 Ang. 1865, upon an officer's certifi- cate that he joined that day; and made a statement to the effect that he was furloughed from hospital, and had been unable to rejoin before. An application in 1877 for an amendment of his record was denied.
Witham, Joseph, Co. HI : Was one of the three men who went over to the enemy, about 5 Aug. 1862 (Co. II was captured 21 Aug. 1862). He was with the other two when the captured men reached rebeldom: and all joined, remaining togetlier till exchange. After the arrest of all three at Annapolis (see August, 1862: Wm. Todd's story), Witham remained at various strongholds, in durance vile, awaiting something to turn up. In the Fall of 1863, Sergt. James of Co. D and one man were sent from Morris Island to Virginia after Witham. They brought him in irons to Hilton Head, putting him in Provost, where he stayed for some time, and without trial. Finally was returned to the regiment and honorably dis- charged 23 Ang. 1864. IIe afterward served in another New Hampshire regiment, and is at this writing a pensioner.

Woodbury, Roger W., Co. A: The only member of the Third New Hampshire separated from the regiment, on the voyage to Hilton Head, except those on the Steamer Belridere. The only member of the Third New Hampshire from Hilton Head to Virginia, April, 1864. separated from regiment. This does not take into account any left behind sick or on de- tached service, who joined later.
Whelan, James, Co. C: Original volunteer; insane. Only case of kind in regiment. In October, 1×62, he left his beat and ran off into the woods, and was captured by a Third Rhode Island man. Hle was sent to
1024
THIRD NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT.
the Insane Hospital at Washington, and on recovering sufficiently was dis- charged from the service (G.O. 98, W.D., 1 .- G.O. 13 Nov. 1861, authorized the treatment of insane soldiers at the hospital at Washington).
Walsh, Patrick, Co. H: Was one of those captured 21 Aug. 1862. After exchange, on the way to New York, to be returned to regiment, he was accidentally left in Philadelphia (January, 1863). He, at once reported to the Provost Marshal, who sent him to Fort McHenry, Baltimore. Was soon transferred to Camp Distribution, Alexandria, Va., and wrote from there 11 Feb. 1863, that he was the only man there from South Carolina. The squad he was with when accidentally left reached the regiment about 5 Feb. 1863.
Whitmore, Peter, Co. H: Got pass from hospital, but did not return. Apprehended near Portsmouth, N. II., about 20 Oct. 1864. Meantime had enlisted in the Navy at Boston (see rolls). Was tried by general court- martial.
ACCIDENTS.
Bolles, Henry R. : An original man of Co. I. His sudden taking off, by accident, by the hand of a comrade, 23 April 1862, has already been described. As a sequel to this, it may be appropriate to relate that a pocket Bible belonging to him fell into the hands of our Chaplain, and was in turn left by him, at his decease, in the hands of his widow. About the year 1888 this Bible was placed in the writer's hands, to find some one to whom it of right belonged. A search was made, the only clue being an appropriate verse on the fly-leaf, signed " Nellie." Only this, and nothing more. Pre- sumably " Nellie " was his lady love : but no Nellie could be found to claim this treasure. She had, without doubt, passed over to the great majority. Finally it was turned over to a loving sister, as having the next best title to it.
Moulton, Orville R. : An original sergeant of Co. G. Shot himself, by accident, in May, 1862, on Edisto Island, S. C., with his own gun, the ball passing through his right hand. Discharged for disability.
Ryan, James : An original man of Co. E. While on the march through the woods, 10 May 1864, his musket was accidentally discharged by the hammer catching in a bush, and the result was a slight wound in the leg (official report). He was sent to the hospital.
Wing, John L. : An original man of Co. K. Same as James Ryan of Co. E, except slightly in the finger (not sent to hospital).
Wilson, John, Ist : A substitute recruit of Co. K. Same as James Ryan and John L. Wing, except was wounded in hand severely (not sent to hospital).
Brown, Charles : A volunteer recruit of Co. D. Drowned at sea 11 Jan. 1865, off Fort Fisher. The particulars have been recited as of that date.
Dearborn, Warren S. : An original man of Co. B. Wounded by dis- charge of his own musket, in right hand, slightly, 13 May 1864.
Kennedy, John, Co. 1 : Sunstruck 10 May 1864.
Fulton, Charles C. : A volunteer recruit of F. Near Sugar Loaf Hill, N.C., 19 Feb. 1865. The men from Virginia (left behind in January) had arrived, Fulton being one, on the 17th. They were unarmed; and it was in part for that reason they were left in Virginia. Fulton. though, was sick. These new arrivals were armed the next day, battle being immi- nent. On the 19th, a comrade (Charles Morgan) was showing Fulton how to load, etc., Fulton being seated upon his knapsack, watching with care the various movements required to load and fire. Suddenly the gun was discharged, and Fulton lay apparently dead. The gun being pointed down- ward had sent its deadly bullet diagonally through his body. He survived till the next day only. That he survived a single minute is something marvellous. This sad accident was on a par with the Edisto case, and like that, cast a gloom over the entire regiment.

THIRD NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT.
Perkins, John W., of D: Was shot in the side, by an officer of a Connecticut regiment, 4 April 1865, at Wilmington, N. C. (not in the line of duty) ; wounded mortally ; died a few days later.
Nixon, Robert: A volunteer recruit of I. Was shot, accidentally, at Bermuda Hundred, Va., 16 June 1864.
Nixon, Robert : Same as above. On Steamer Lady Lang. City Point to Baltimore, vid Fort Monroe, after muster-ont (20th). Left Fort Monroe about 4.30 P.M., 25 July 1865. Nixon was on guard, on deck, at night. On the morning of the 26th, his knapsack was in its place on deck; but Nixon was nowhere to be seen. There could be but one conclusion : riz., that he had fallen overboard during the night, or perchance had walked overboard in a somnambulistic state. Either conclusion was devoid of comfort. This case is peculiarly sad, when one takes into account the fact that he had survived the war, had been mustered out, and was actually on his way to his home. As he had not been finally discharged, it would appear that he lost his life while in the service.
Trickey, Wm. H., Major: Was Officer of the Day at Wilmington. N. C., + April 1865. Went into a disreputable house to quell a disturbance ; revolver accidentally discharged, resulting in a slight wound in the leg.
