CHAPTER XIV.
OPENING OF THE CIVIL WAR-FIRST VOLUNTEERS-LADIES' AID SOCIETIES.
N the war of the Rebellion Morris county con- tributed her full share. When Sumter was fired upon there were but three uniformed militia companies in the county-the Na- tional Guards of Boonton, Captain Edwin K. Bishop; the Morris Greys, Captain William Dun- can, and the Ringgold Artillery, Captain Richard M. Stites. The militia system had fallen into disuse, and the parade of one of these companies was a novelty.
This meeting was the first of many held throughout the county. In every village mass meetings were held and flags were raised. A flag was raised upon Morris green May 31st 1861, when the companies of Captains Bishop, Duncan and Stites paraded together. They soon after disbanded. Many of the men bad become impatient, and in squads had enlisted in companies which were going to the front. Captain Bishop with part of his company went from Newark with Company H of the 2nd New Jersey.
For some reason no sufficient effort was made to raise a company within the county, and its young men enlisted as volunteers in companies organizing in Newton, Plain- field, Newark and New York. On Tuesday, May 21st, Captain Ryerson's Company B, from the 2nd New Jersey volunteers, passed through Morristown on its way from Newton to Trenton. In it and in Company I 3d New Jersey volunteers there were 32 Morris county men. Others had gone in Companies D of the 3d New Jersey, H of the 2nd New Jersey, the Excelsior brigade of New York, etc. The following partial list is taken from the papers of that time:
Company B 2nd N. J .- F. D. Sturtevant, Joseph G. Sturges, Charles H. Carroll, Silas R. Roff, Charles H. Stephens, James Armstrong, John W. Armstrong, Thomas F. Anderson, George McKee (wounded in July 1862), Isaac I. Tompkins, Albert W. Thompson (died), Edward Snow, David Hart.
Company H 2nd N. J .- Emery A. Wheeler, Daniel W. Tunis, John S. Sutton, Theodore A. Baldwin, Daniel Bowditch.
Company D 3d N. J .- John H. Smith, George Blanch- ard, W. Scott McGowan, Anthony Perry, Elijah Sharp, W. H. Cole (killed September 7 1861), Sergeant William S. Earles (afterward in the 15th N. J.).
There had also gone to other companies or regiments: W. H. Alexander, W. Beers and Lewis B. Baldwin, Company K 2nd N. J .; W. H. Willis, Company I 3d N. J .; Mahlon M. Stage and Noah C. Haggerty, Company G ist N. J .; Isaac King, James M. Stone, John Ford jr., Daniel Guard, David Johnson, William Hedden, James Dolan, Edward Totten, Hampton Babbitt, James Quim- by, William Valentine; Excelsior brigade-John Starr, Jabez Wingate, Peter H. Flick, W. H. Stickle, Charles H. Till, D. M. Farrand, Andrew Hand, Augustus C. Stickle (afterward adjutant 3d N. J. cavalry), Sergeant Sylvester L. Lynn, Co. C 8th N. J .; died Dec. 15 '64 of wounds received Nov. 5 '64.
A Soldiers' Aid Society was organized by the ladies of Morristown, of which Mrs. Nelson Wood was president, Mrs. Sherman Broadwell vice-president, Mrs. Vancleve Dalrymple treasurer, and Miss Robinson secretary. The society throughout the war labored incessantly in making clothing etc. for the soldiers and raising money and com- forts for the sick in hospital. Similar societies, and al- most if not quite as efficient, were organized in all the other principal towns in the county.
On Monday evening, April 22nd 1861, three days after the Baltimore riot, a mass meeting was held in Washing- ton Hall, Morristown, at which Hon. George T. Cobb presided. Speeches were made by Hon. Jacob W. Miller, Jacob Vanatta, Theodore Little, Rev. G. D. Brew- erton and Colonel Samuel F. Headley. Patriotic res olutions of the most decided character were proposed May 2nd 1861 a home guard was raised at Morristown, consisting of some of the principal citizens, many of them exempt from military service. and unanimously carried. Unqualified support was promised to the administration, and a committee consist- ing of William C. Baker, Dr. Ebenezer B. Woodruff and Jacob Vanatta was appointed to receive contributions of July rith 1861 a number of youth organized them- selves into a company called the Ellsworth Light Infantry money to aid in equipping volunteers and providing for their families. Over $2,600 was subscribed on the spot. [ and chose the following officers: Captain, Rev. G. Doug.

Rodgers and William Radford, U. S. N. were residents of Morris county previous to the war. monotony broken by frequent artillery duels. April 5th Hooker's division broke camp and took transports to the peninsula. April 23d found this brigade throwing up earthworks under fire of the enemy's artillery at York- town. May 5th the company fought at Williamsburg, in a drenching rain, where the men stood their ground after their ammunition was used up, taking more from the dead and wounded. They were under fire five hours without getting relieved. Captain Brown was very severely wounded; Corporal Joseph S. Watkins was mortally wounded, dying May 31st following. Several others were wounded. In the Excelsior brigade Jabez C. Wingate, Peter H. Flick and W. H. Stickle were killed, and four other Morris county men wounded. The CHAPTER XV. company took part in the battle of Fair Oaks and the Seven Days' fight. After lying at Harrison's Landing until August 15th the division retraced its steps to Yorktown and took transports, arriving at Alexandria COMPANY K 7TH N. J .- CAPTAIN SOUTHARD'S ENGIN- EERS-CAPTAIN DUNCAN'S COMPANY. August 24th. August 26th the 7th went by rail to War- renton Junction. Hooker's division marched the next morning down the Orange and Alexandria railroad to Bristow Station, attacked Ewell's division of Jackson's command, drove him toward Bull Run and captured his baggage. August 29th and 30th the 7th took part in the second battle of Bull Run, and September Ist in the battle of Chantilly, where General Phil. Kearney was killed. After this the company did guard duty along the Orange and Alexandria railroad until November 28th, when it started for Falmouth, reaching that place some two weeks before the battle of Fredericksburg, and taking part in it.
N July 24th 1861 the President made his sec- ond call for three-years men, and the quota allotted to this State was four regiments. Under this call Captain James M. Brown raised Company K of the 7th N. J., the first distinctively Morris county company. In the first week 64 men were enlisted, and the company soon had its full complement. The first colonel of the 7th was Joseph W. Revere; he was promoted brigadier general October 25th 1862, and was succeeded as colonel by Lewis R. Francine, and the latter in July 1863 by Francis Price jr., Colonel Francine having been killed at Gettysburg, where Colonel Price was severely wounded. The latter was brevetted brigadier-general. Timothy D. Burroughs, sergeant in Company D, was commissioned quartermaster sergeant September 6th 1864.
The men were first together as a company at the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, on the evening of October Ist, when Captain James M. Brown was pre- sented with sword, sash and pistol, by Alfred Mills, Esq .; and Rev. David Irving presented each member with a copy of the New Testament and Psalms, in behalf of the Morris County Bible Society. The church was filled with the largest audience ever compressed within its walls, while hundreds left the doors of the building, unable to obtain standing room.
The next morning the company started for Trenton, being escorted to the depot by Fairchild's drum corps and by No. 3 Fire Engine Company. A large assemblage was gathered to see the company off. It was mustered at Trenton the next day and left the same evening for Washington. There the 7th lay encamped at Meridian
Hill till December 1861, when it joined General Hooker's force near Budd's Ferry, Md., and was assigned to the 3d brigade of his division.
At Chancellorsville, May 5th 1863, the 7th regiment captured five colors and three hundred prisoners from the enemy. The flags were taken from the ist Louisiana, 2Ist Virginia, 2nd and 18th North Carolina and an Alabama regiment. The 2nd North Carolina regiment was captured almost entire.
The next move for Company K was the long march to Gettysburg, and on July 2nd the regiment. supported a battery near the peach orchard, when the enemy charged on the 3d corps, of which the 7th was a part. Company K lost 15 men wounded (three mortally), and two taken prisoners, on the first day of the battle. The captain and both lieutenants were wounded. With a second ser- geant in command the company was in the fight of the next day.
The next engagement in which the 7th took part was at Manassas Gap, Virginia, and after that it was engaged at McLean's Ford in the Bull Run River, with some mounted infantry. Next came the battle of Mine Run, and then winter quarters at Brandy Station. The New Jersey brigade was now in the 2nd army corps.
May 4th 1864 the troops broke camp, and on May 5th, 6th and 7th we find Company K fighting in the Wilder-

ness, a densely wooded tract of table-land stretching from the Rapidan almost to Spottsylvania Court-house. May 8th the regiment moved to a spot near Todd's Tavern, where it remained until the 10th, when (our army having cleared the Wilderness and concentrated around Spottsylvania Court-house) it took a position on the right. On the 11th the company was under heavy fire, and at dawn of the 12th of May the 2nd corps charged the enemy, capturing 30 cannon and Johnson's rebel division. In this battle - the severest of the war-the 7th New Jersey met with severe loss in officers and men. The regiment aided in hauling off the captured guns, and Captain Crane, of Company C, of Morris county, with a squad of his men, succeeded in manning one of the captured guns and training it on the enemy. For hours the fight raged with unexampled fury, and it was not until mid- night that General Lee left the victors in possession of the works captured. On the 15th the brigade was called upon to repel an attack on our pickets, and met with some loss. May 16th, at North Anna River, the company was again under fire, a division of Longstreet's corps having possession of both sides of Chesterfield bridge. On May 26th the regiment took part in the flank move- ment toward Richmond, skirmishing along the Tolopoto- my and reaching Cold Harbor, where, on June 3d, it participated in the assault upon the enemy's main line. On the 7th of June the brigade was entrenched at Baker's Mills, and from this point it moved swiftly to the James, crossed the river June 14th, and arrived before Peters- burg the following day, supporting Smith's corps of Butler's army. On the 16th General Grant delivered an assault with all his forces. The fight was desperate, and the loss to the 7th N. J. was very severe. On the 18th General Grant ordered another assault, when the enemy's lines were pushed back three quarters of a mile. Later in the day the brigade charged again in front of the Hare House, but was swept back by a withering fire, leav- ing its dead and wounded between the two lines. Hun- dreds of the wounded died in sight and hearing of their comrades, crying out for help and for water; they could not be reached, the enemy refusing a flag of truce.
June 23d, General Grant having determined to turn the enemy's right, the corps advanced through a wooded country, and, as it failed to make connection with the 6th corps, the enemy got in the rear, capturing eight prisoners from Company K. The corps fell back and established a line a little further to the rear. The brig- ade remained in the trenches until July 12th. On the 26th it crossed the James to Deep Bottom, where the corps attacked the enemy and captured four cannon. It then quietly returned to Petersburg, and held the front line of works when the mine was exploded, July 30th.
August 12th the corps moved again to Deep Bottom, with more or less skirmishing and fighting. This was a feint to try to make the rebel authorities recall their troops from before Washington. August 18th the New Jersey 7th, with the rest of the corps, returned to the entrenchments.
August 25th the regiment was moved to Ream's Sta- tion to help the remainder of the corps, which was en- gaged there. The next affair in which the 7th took part was the advance of the picket lines about I o'clock A. M. of September 10th. The picket duty was dangerous here. The regiment when not on picket was quartered in Fort Davis, on the Jerusalem plank road, but even there stray balls would come into the tents at night, wound- ing men oftentimes while sleeping.
October 7th Lieutenant Gaines and the old members of Company K-about eight in number-who did not re- enlist, were mustered out of service at Trenton, and, honorably discharged, returned to their homes.
With Colonel Price still commanding, the regiment took part in the battle of Hatcher's Run, and in the last campaign, culminating in the surrender of General Lee, April 9th 1865.
During the war this company took part in the follow- ing engagements, all in Virginia excepting Gettysburg:
Siege of Yorktown, April and May 1862; Williams- burg, May 5th 1862; Fair Oaks, June Ist and 2nd 1862; Seven Pines, June 25th 1862; Savage Station, June 29th 1862; Glendale, June 30th 1862; Malvern Hill, July Ist and August 5th 1862; Bristow Station, August 27th 1862; Bull Run (second), August 29th and 30th 1862; Chantilly, September ist 1862; Centreville, September 2nd 1862; Fredericksburg, December 13th and 14th 1862; Chancellorsville, May 3d and 4th 1863; Gettys- burg, July 2nd and 3d 1863; Wapping Heights, July 24th 1863; McLean's Ford, October 15th 1863; Mine Run, November 29th and 30th and December Ist 1863; Wil- derness, May 5th-7th 1864; Spottsylvania, May 8th-18th 1864; North Anna River, May 23d and 24th 1864; To- lopotomy Creek, May 30th and 31st 1864; Cold Harbor, June Ist-5th 1864; Before Petersburg, June 16th-23d and July 30th 1864; Deep Bottom, July 26th and 27th 1864; North Bank of James River, August 15th-18th 1864; Fort Sedgwick, September 10th 1864; Poplar Spring Church, October 2nd 1864; Boydton Plank Road (capture of Petersburg), April 2nd 1865; Amelia Springs, April 6th 1865; Farmville, April 6th and 7th 1865; Ap- pomattox, April 9th 1865.
