1 See history of West Jersey Railroad in chapter on Public Internal Improvements for sketch of General Sewell.
Washington Chronicle described as " one of those splendid achievements seldom occur- ring in this war so far, but which, when oc- curring, cover a soldier's career with imper- ishable glory." The brigade's loss in this engagement was three hundred and seventy- eight, six killed and fifty-nine wounded be- ing credited to the Sixth.
Colonel Burling was commander of this brigade at Gettysburg, where it did noble service on the afternoon of July 2d. He sent the Sixth into the Devil's Den, where it lost one man killed and thirty-two wounded.
The next engagement for the Sixth after Gettysburg was the skirmish at McLean's Ford, on Bull Run, October 15th. On May 6, 1864, in the Wilderness, and on the 10th and 12th, around Spottsylvania Court-House, it was in the most perilous positions of those hard-fought fields, and behaved with much gallantry in the charge on the salieut held by Ewell's Confederates, in which three thousand prisoners and thirty guns were taken. Adjutant C. F. Moore and Lieuten- ant Note brought off one of these guns with a squad of the Sixth and turned it upon the enemy. Seven hundred men, killed and wounded, were subtracted from the brigade on that terrible 12th of May.
Between June 3d and 21st the Sixth partici- pated in the fighting on the north bank of the James River, and the attacks ou Peters- burg. Its losses in May and June were six- teen killed, ninety-nine wounded and eight missing. Its final engagement was near Deep Bottom, James River, August 14th to 18th, when, its three years of service having expired, it was ordered to report at Trenton, and was mustered out September 7th.

CAPTAIN GEORGE E. WILSON was born at Woonsocket, R. I., February 10, 1835. His grandfather, the Rev. James Wilson, a de- scendant of one of the early settlers of New England, in 1800 became one of the first publie-school teachers in the city of Provi- dence, where the free-school system in Amer- ica then originated. As a minister of the gospel he served during the long period of fifty years as pastor of the Beneficent Con- gregational Church of Providence, and died highly honored and respected at the advanced age of eighty years.
James Wilson, his son, and the father of Henry B., James P. and George E. Wilson, was treasurer of the New England Serew Company, at Providence, for a time. He moved to Camden County in 1849, and for many years was treasurer of the Washington Manufacturing Company, of Gloucester City, until age compelled him to resign, and lie spent the remainder of his life in Camden. He was a man of sterling integrity, deeply interested in the material and moral welfare of the communities in which he lived, and a prominent member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church. He died in 1882, at the age of eighty years.
Captain Wilson, subject of this biography, spent his boyhood days in Providence, and there attended the public schools and subse-
quently was a pupil in a Friends' school in Philadelphia. He entered business as a clerk for the Washington Manufacturing Company, at Gloucester, and afterwards engaged in the iee business in the same city. When the Civil War opened he joined Captain John P. Van Leer's company in the three months' service, and upon arriving at Trenton was mustered in, April 21, 1861, as first lieuten- ant of Company H of the Fourth New Jersey Militia. This reginient was taken down the Delaware to Annapolis in transports, and was the first fully-equipped brigade at the outbreak of the war to arrive at the city of Washington. The same regiment built Fort Runyon, at the south end of the Long Bridge over the Potomac near Washington, and was present at the first battle of Bull Run, though not actively engaged. At the expiration of the term of service he came home with the regiment, and immediately after being dis- charged re-enlisted with Captain Van Leer, in Company D of the Sixth New Jersey Regiment, and was mustered in as captain of the company, Captain Van Leer being promoted to major. The Sixth Regiment formed a part of the Second New Jersey Brigade, and in 1862, under General Me- Clellan, took part in the Peninsular cam- paign. Captain Wilson commanded his company at the siege of Yorktown, and in the succeeding engagement of this campaign at Williamsburg, May 5, 1862, he was se- verely wounded in the hand and hip, as the army was on the retreat and he fell into the hands of the enemy, but the following day was recovered. After his wounds had healed, in Angust, 1862, he rejoined his regiment and again took charge of his company. In 1863 he participated in the battles of Fredericks- burg, Chaneellorsville and Gettysburg. In July of the same year he was detached from his regiment to take charge of the camp of drafted men at Trenton, and remained in that position until the expiration of his term of three years' service, in 1864.

HISTORY OF CAMDEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
Since the close of the war Captain Wilson, has been actively engaged in the ice and coal business in the city of Camden, has built np an extensive trade and has been very successful. He obtains his ice in immense quantities from the Eastern States and from Lakeside Park, and furnishes it to consumers in the city of Camden and elsewhere. He also has a coal-yard at Second and Chestnut Streets and one at Tenth and Spruce Streets. He is a member of the Thomas K. Lee Post, G. A. R., and has taken an active interest in the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Lodge 94, Siloam Chapter, No. 19, Cyrene Commandery of Camden; has taken the thirty-second degree in Masonry, and was Grand Commander of Knights Templar of West Jersey for 1880 and 1881.

He was married, on the 19th of November, 1872, to Maria W. Jackson, daughter of Ephraim S. Jack- son, a prominent citizen of Providence, R. I., and for twelve years postmaster of that city. They have two children,-Benjamin J. and Rachael Graham Wilson.
