HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK.

COL. WILLIAM SILLIMAN was born at Canterbury, Orange Co., on Oet. 18, 1837, and was the only child of Rev. Jonathan Silliman, for nearly thirty years pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Canterbury. His childhood was mostly passed in the society of his parents, his weak physical constitution precluding his attendance upon the schools of his day for any length of time. His early education was received at home. He acquired knowledge with great facility, and his memory was so tenacious that what he onee learned he seemed never to forget. His mind was inquisitive, active, and discriminating, and he was in- terested in almost every branch of art and science.

When he was about fourteen years of age his father purchased a farm in the neighborhood with a view of

r. Silliman

educating his son as an agriculturist, and two years later the family took up a residence upon the farm. After some time spent in agricultural pursuits Mr. Silliman formed a desire to study engineering, and he spent two winters in the pursuit of that branch of science at the school of Rev. A. C. Roe, in Cornwall. He afterwards spent a term in the normal school at Montrose, Pa., and later engaged in school-teaching for a time. Having finally determined to make the practice of law his life-work, he entered the Yale Law School at New Haven, Conn., in the fall of 1858, and spent one year at that institution. The following year he entered the Albany Law School, with a view of admission to the bar in New York State, and con- tinued a regular and diligent scholar until his gradu- ation in 1860. He subsequently located at Newburgh,

where he acquired considerable reputation for his knowledge of the principles of the law, and for his skill in managing his causes.

It was at this time that the civil war of 1861 broke upon the country and stirred to the bottom the pa- triotism of the young blood of the North. An ardent Republican, feeling a warm interest in the preserva- tion of the institutions of his country, and a devotion to the cause of liberty, the first gun that opened upon the walls of Sumter seemed to arouse all the latent fire of patriotism that burned in the bosom of young Silliman, and made him eager to enter the ranks of the Union army to battle for his country's rights. The battle at Bull Run made him still more restless, and he soon after participated with others in raising a company for service under Col. Morrison in the Sec- ond New York Cavalry. The work of recruiting was commenced Sept. 15, 1861, and on October 9th, Mr. Sil- liman went into camp with the rank of second lieu- tenant. The captain of the company, James Crom- well, a friend of his boyhood days, being taken ill, the labor of drilling fell upon Lieut. Silliman. He was very prompt and active in the performance of his duty, and on Oct. 31. 1861, received a commission as first lieutenant of the company. Soon after the regiment entered the field, but after lying in camp for several months at Washington, was disbanded, owing to the reduction of the cavalry force, and the officers returned home. Lient. Silliman resumed the practice of law, this time in his native village. He continued his business until the President's call for three hun- dred thousand volunteers, in July, 1862, when he ac- cepted the adjutancy of the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth New York Volunteers, then being recruited by Col. A. Van Horne Ellis in Orange County. Capt. Cromwell, of Company C, having been promoted to be major of the regiment soon after, Adjt. Silliman was made captain of that company, but continued to discharge the duties of the adjutancy until the regiment left for Washington, on Sept. 6, 1862.

It is not the purpose of this paper to detail all the movements of the regiment to which Capt. Silliman belonged, nor how at Fredericksburg, Chancellors- ville, Beverly's Ford, Gettysburg, and on other bloody fields its members distinguished themselves for bravery and personal courage. In all the engagements in which Capt. Silliman participated he manifested the courage of a brave and efficient soldier, and frequently elicited the warmest commendations of his superior officers. Of his conduct at the battle of Chancellorsville Wey- gant's "History of the New York State Volunteers" says, " Capt. Silliman, conspicuous for his height, dis- played great gallantry ; waving his sword above his head he ever encouraged his men, and kept his eye on the colors, of which he had charge, his being the color company." Farther on, the same authority adds, "A braver officer than he showed himself to be on the battle-fields of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg has seldom drawn a sword." At the battle of Gettysburg

Capt. Silliman commanded his regiment, the colonel and major having been killed, and the lieutenant-col- onel wounded. He manifested great coolness and courage, and assisted by his lieutenant, James Grier, virtually saved the fortunes of the day.

Ou July 22, 1863, Capt. Silliman was detailed to proceed North for the drafted men who should be as- signed to his regiment, and was stationed on Riker's Island, near New York City. He was subsequently detained by the post-commandant, because of his use- fulness in organizing the new material for the army, and first drilled some of the white conscripts, and when the Union League of New York City began to send their colored recruits to Riker's Island, he asked and obtained permission to drill them. IIe continued in this occupation until the middle of January, 1864, when he was ordered back to his regiment. He re- mained with the regiment until February 5th follow- ing, when he received a commission as colonel of the Twenty-sixth United States Colored Troops, having previously passed a creditable examination before the examining board at Washington. He at once repaired to New York and spent several weeks in drilling his regiment. On March 18, 1864, he was married to Mary L., daughter of Ilugh F. Randolph, of Bloom- field, N. J., and a short time later went into camp, first at Annapolis, Md., and finally near Beaufort, S. C. The regiment subsequently engaged in the campaigns near Hilton Ilead, and in one engage- ment, while at the head of his regiment, Col. Silli- man was stricken down by sun-stroke and carried from the field. Ile obtained a short furlough soon after and made a visit to his home, returning to his command on Aug. 18, 1864. He participated in the further movements of the army in South Carolina, a part of the time in command at Beaufort, and ever performing the part of a gallant and true soldier, until Dec. 9, 1864, when he received a severe wound in the thigh while commanding the attacking brigade dispatched to cut the Charleston and Savannah Rail- road near Pocotaligo. He was carried to the rear, his leg amputated, and was finally removed to Beau- fort, where he soon after died from the effects of his wound. Ilis young wife was near him to the last, and as the strong soldier bade adieu to life a smile of triumph illumined his face, and he passed quietly away to join the shadowy army of heroes who had pre- ceded him to the peaceful realms of the far beyond.

It is the record of this young soldier that he per- formed his duty ; his glory belongs to the Republic, in whose service he died and in whose story he must ever live. His death caused great grief in his regi- ment, so highly did his men appreciate all that he had done in their behalf. His remains were accorded military honors in the field, and were finally brought North and, in accordance with the wishes of his widow, interred at Bloomfield, N. J., where a simple white monument marks the last resting-place of a mother's gift to her country. His aged and afflicted

parents still live to mourn the loss of an only child, the hoped-for comfort of their declining years, and a faithful wife still mourns in solitude the loss of a kind and dear hu-band.

The following extracts are made from a letter written to his widow on March 14, 1865, by Brevet Maj .- Gen. Rufus Saxton, under whom he served at the time of his death :

"During nearly the whole of his service in this department as colonel of the Twenty-sixth United States Colored Troops he served with me and under my command. I loved him very dearly as a friend, companion, and counselor, honored him as a brave, skillful, and accomplished soldier, and sorrowed deeply for his loss. He was one of those gifted men who are equal to any position they may be called to fill. Ile was one of the most efficient colonels I have ever known in service, as the bearing and deeds of his splendid regiment have ever borne evidence. His acts bear witness to his faith in God and humanity, and that black muster-roll which he headed in her canse shall be to him a crown of glory. I have seen him in battle when the danger was most imminent, and he ever seemed as collected as if upon ordinary duty. He fell at his post in action, with his face to the foe, bravely battling for the freedom and country that he loved, and soon another hero had gone. Of all that long muster-roll of heroes whose lives this war has cost the nation, there was no braver, truer, or more worthy one than Col. William Silliman. A grateful country should cherish his memory, for he served her faithfully and honorably, and at last gave up his noble life to her cause."

SEVENTY-FIRST MILITIA -- CO. I.

Company I, Seventy-first Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., was recruited in Newburgh, principally from Company L, Nineteenth Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., between the 20th and 31st of May, 1861, by Capt. A. V. H. Ellis. There was, of course, the usual red-tape connected with the organization. Col. Brown, of the Nineteenth, readily gave his consent, but Governor Morgan refused to permit the company to leave the State. Capt. Ellis thereupon took the company on his own responsibility to New York. Col. Vosburgh, of the Seventy-first, with whom Capt. Ellis had made his arrangements, having died, it was for some days a matter of doubt whether the company would be accepted. The com- pany was furnished transportation to Washington, however, and after its arrival, through the efforts of Secretary Seward, it was accepted, and mustered in the service for three months. After being stationed at the navy-yard at Washington until June 28th, it was sent with Company F, of same regiment, to Chapel Point and Port Tobacco, but returned without encountering the enemy. The company had in the mean time been furnished with U. S. rifles, Harper's Ferry, 1850, pattern. Left navy-yard July 16th, ar- rived in Washington, and was brigaded with the First

and Second Rhode Island Infantry, Second Rhode Island Battery, and Second New Hampshire Infantry, under Col. Burnside. The company was placed in charge of two twelve-pound boat howitzers, July 4th. To these guns prolongs were attached, and they were drawn all the way by hand (twenty men to each) to Bull Run battle-field, and eight miles on the return march. Crossed Long Bridge July 16th, and reached Ball's Cross-Roads ; on the 17th reached Fairfax Court- House; 18th, reached Centreville; arrived on Bull Run battle-field at 11 A.M. on the 21st, and entered action supported by Second Rhode Island Battery and Seventy-first Infantry ; fired 232 shots (shrapnel and canister) ; drew out of the conflict on order at 3 P.M. with the loss of one man killed, private Samuel O. Bond; two wounded, James C. Taggart and John W. R. Mould, the latter taken prisoner. At 5 p.M. ordered to leave the field; reached Centreville at 10 P.M., and marched thence for Washington. Left Washington for New York July 24th, with rifles; arrived at New- burgh 27th, and mustered out on the 30th. The offi- eers of the company on this service were :

A. Van Horne Ellis, captain ; George W. Hawkins, second lieutenant; Wm. H. Garrison, second sergeant; John MeMeekin, third sergeant; James D. Hamilton, fourth sergeant; Charles Deeker, first corporal; Mar- shal M. Van Zile, second corporal ; Henry F. Travis, third sergeant; Thomas Riley, fourth sergeant.

May 28, 1862, the company was again recruited, only seven hours being required for the purpose. Its period of service was again three months, spent on guard duty in and around Washington. The officers were :

A. Van Horne Ellis, captain ; Wm. H. Garrison, first lieutenant ; James C. Taggart, second lieutenant; John W. Forsyth, first sergeant; Henry F. Travis, second sergeant; John McMeekin, third sergeant ; Jas. B. Montgomery, fourth sergeant; Thos. Riley, fifth sergeant; Robert Acheson, David M. DeWitt, Wm. M. Verplanck, Edward J. Hall, corporals.

Capt. Ellis resigned, and came home to organize a regiment in 1862, when Garrison was promoted eap- tain ; Taggart, first lieutenant ; Acheson, second lieu- tenant, and Edwin J. Marsh, corporal.

One of the most remarkable features in the history of the company was the large number of officers and privates who went from it to more extended terms of service. Capt. Ellis became colonel of One Hundred and Twenty-fourth; Travis, captain One Hundred and Twenty-fourth; Richard M. and Frank Hines, captains in Fifty-sixth ; Chas. B. Wood, captain One Hundred and Twenty-fourth; James A. Grier, lieu- tenant One Hundred and Twenty-fourth; B. F. Cham- berlain, major First Virginia Cavalry ; Van Zile, cap- tain One Hundred and Sixty-eighth ; Geo. C. Morton, captain Ira Harris Cavalry. But the list is too long for further repetition. The enthusiasm of its mem- bers continued from May, 1861, to the close of the war, quenched only in many by an honored death on the field of battle.

NINETEENTH REGIMENT MILITIA-ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIXTH REGIMENT-ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT-ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.

On the 26th May, 1862, Col. William R. Brown, commanding the Nineteenth Regiment Militia, re- ceived orders to march with his regiment to Washing- ton, D. C. Many of the members having previously enlisted in volunteer regiments, it was found necessary to recruit the ranks of the regiment, which was done, and the regiment left Newburgh for the seat of war on the 4th of June, by way of Jersey City, Philadel- phia, and Baltimore. On its arrival in Baltimore (June 6th ) the regiment was ordered to Mount Clare. The next day orders were received to proceed to Stu- art's Hill, and to establish a camp at that place on the grounds previously occupied by the Seventh N. G. S. N. Y. The regiment remained here until the 2d of July, when orders were received from Maj .- Gen. Wool for two companies to proceed to Fort McHenry, and the remainder to go to Fort Marshall. On the 14th of July four companies were ordered from Fort Marshall to Fort Delaware, where they remained until the 10th of August, when they returned to Fort Marshall. Orders were then received for the compa- nies at Fort Marshall to proceed to Havre de Grace, Md., for the purpose of guarding the railroad from that place to Baltimore. On the 28th of August the companies at Fort McHenry were ordered to report to Col. Brown, when the whole regiment proceeded to Newburgh, where it arrived on the 30th of Angust, and was mustered out of the service of the United States on the 6th of September. The officers were :

Field and Staff .- William R. Brown, colonel ; James Low, lieutenant-colonel; David Jagger, major ; George Waller, quartermaster ; Wm. M. Hathaway, adjutant.

While in the field the officers of the regiment learned that the quota of the county under the July call had not been filled, and that nine months' men would be accepted. On the 14th of August Col. Brown left Havre de Grace and proceeded to Albany, and there tendered to Governor Morgan the services of the regi- meut for nine months. It was not accepted. On the arrival of the regiment at Newburgh (August 30th) the tender was renewed and again refused. On the 17th of September Col. Brown made a third tender, which was formally accepted on the 18th. In the mean time Governor Morgan gave an acceptance and an authorization to lsaae Wood, Jr., of Newburgh, to raise a regiment-to be known as the One Hundred and Sixty-sixth-for three years' service. Thus au- thorizations were given for the raising of two regiments in the same distriet,-one under Col. Wood for three years, and one under Col. Brown for nine months. Col. Wood and his friends thinking that he could meet with better success if the term of his regiment was reduced to nine months, made application to the Gov- ernor and received an order to that effeet, which still further complicated the situation and made the rivalry

more complete. It soon became evident that both could not succeed, and Col. Wood, after recruiting two hundred and seventy-two men, abandoned the field, and his volunteers were consolidated with the "Iron- sides," or One Hundred and Seventy-sixth Regiment, and mustered into the service of the United States at New York City, Nov. 20, 1862.

Recruiting for the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth began Sept. 18, 1862, and ended Feb. 11, 1863. In : December, 1862, it barely escaped consolidation with some other regiment, and but for a change in the State administration would never have taken the field. The regiment left Camp Sprague, at Newburgh, Feb. 2, 1863, with seven hundred and fifty men, and left Park Barracks, New York, Feb. 13, 1863, with eight hundred and thirty-five men. It reached Yorktown, Va., February 18th, where it was assigned to the Fourth Army Corps, Maj .- Gen. Keyes; Gen. Richard Busteed's brigade; Second Division, Gen. Rufus King. It remained at Yorktown on garrison and provost duty during nearly the full term of its ser- vice. In June one hundred and forty men under Capt. Daniel Torbush, in company with detachi- ments from other regiments, proceeded on a gun- boat up the York River to West Point, and from thence to the Mattapony River, and landed at Walker- town, where the detachment from the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth was ordered to a position on the Richmond road and ordered to hold it under any circumstances, while the remainder of the foree went in another direction. As anticipated, the detach- ment was attacked by a company of cavalry and infantry, who were repulsed with a loss of fourteen killed. The detachment lost one killed (William S. Avery, of Co. A), five wounded, and two taken prisoners. The other portion of the expedition did not meet the enemy, but having accomplished the object in view, the whole party returned to Yorktown.

On the 26th September as part of the Second Bri- gade, Second Division, Eleventh Army Corps, the regiment was placed en route for Chattanooga; reached Bridgeport, Ala., where it remained on picket and guard duty until October 14th, when it left Bridge- port en route for Newburgh, where it arrived on the 20th, and was mustered out on the 31st. The casual- ties of the regiment were as follows :

Killed in battle Died of sickness. Discharged for disability

= by civil authority

court-martial ..

Taken prisoners

Mustered out.

600

Total 835

The large number of deserters was accounted for by the fact that many claimed that their period of enlist- ment had expired. Many of the men were in camp and field duties nearly or quite one year, and some for a longer time.
