COMPANY I.


CAPT. H. O. GILLMORE's Co. "I," was originally mustered as B, of the 3d Battalion, Black River Artillery, and was recruited in Brown- ville, Hounsfield, Watertown and Worth. Date of muster, Sept. 12th, 1852, by W. G. Edgerton, 11th Infantry, U. S. Army. This company rendered service in the Department of Washington, advancing to the front with its regiment, March 1864; was engaged in seige of Peters- burg and Battle of Bermuda Hundred, retiring from the service with a record second to none; mustering out with the regiment, June 23rd, 1865, and discharged at Sackets Harbor, N. Y. At Cold Harbor the Captain narrowly escaped. The enemy charged on our lines and one of the men in his fright held his thumb over the muzzle of his piece, stooped down and with the other hand fired his gun. Either the thum or the ball passed through the captain's hat, sadly marring that appendage.

Green, M. A. Hackley and C. E. Seaton were the parties who were the most effective in getting the enlistments of men. Capt. Gould had some men whom he had enlisted in the northern part of the county, mostly from Lyme. The command gathered at Sackets Har- bor about the middle of September. 1862. which place they left about the 19th of September, and arrived in New York on the 20th. Under the command of Capt. Gould, after one night spent at Park Barracks, they were sent to Camp Arthur, Staten Island. Up to this time none of the men had been mustered into the U. S Service. About this time differences of opinion arose between Gould, Green and others as to who should be the Company's officers. the final of which was that Capt. Gould was ordered to turn his men over to J. E. Green. The men were nearly mutinous, and refused to be mustered, but they were ordered in line at the camp, and marched on board a steamer and con- veyed to Fort Schuyler, where they were mustered.


Captain, James E. Green; First Lieutenant, O. Williams; Second Lieutenant. C. E. Seaton; First Sergeants, Shaw, Pennock, Jerry Chryster. Geo. Greenfield.


The Company remained at Fort Schuyler until April, 1863, when they were ordered to Washington, D. C., and were assigned to Fort Grebble, Md .. defenses of Washington, remaining until March, 1864. In the meantime Capt. Green and Lieut. Williams bad resigned. and the following were promoted to be the company's officers: Captain, Ed. Smith; Lieutenant, D. Ranney; Lieutenant, R. McKnight; Second Lieutenant, O. B. Cadwell; Second Lieutenant, Leonard Seaton. The Company marched to the front with the Regiment about the first days of June, 1864. We are unable to give a muster of this Company, as no record appears in the Adjutant General's office. However, a list of the killed and wounded are given, and is as follows:


Killed-Horace D. Ivory, July 16, 1864. Wounded-Stephen B. Ballard, July 22, 1864; A. J. Hobart, July 23, 1864; Orrin Tubbs, died July 1, 1864; D. J. Guest, wounded July 4, 1864, Pat Stevenson, wounded July 4, 1804.


HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH BATTALION N. Y. LIGHT ARTILLERY: STATEN ISLAND, CAMP ARTHUR, NOV. 24, 1862.


Editor Daily Times :- We have been the victims of sundry mis- takes since leaving Madison Barracks. The most serious one was sending us away from Sackets Harbor before being full, moving us 300 miles away from our recruiting ground, for on arriving at New York City the authorities did not know what to do with us, not being full or organized. They could not send us out of the State, a recent order from the war department compelling us to have 141 men before mustering, added much to the embarrassment we labor under, and very much perplexed our officers and men. Finally we were or- dered to Staten Island to stay a few days, and the officers per- mitted to return to Jefferson county and recruit the necessary num- ber of men to fill the company. During the time they were absent the inen were decimated by desertion, sickness, discharge, &c., until we have to-day not so many men as when we first arrived. Finally Hon. James A. Bell came to our assistance, and through much Isbor and argument an order was obtained to muster us in for what we started for, with our present number of men, but not without depriv- ing us of a part of our officers, unless they should be generously re- stored to us. Friday the mustering officers of the government ac- yepted us, and Monday at 4 P. M. we are to leave for Washington and join our Regiment, where we would have been two months since. but for influences outside our Company. Be it said to the credit of our

Captain, he nobly resisted preferred influences in the form of position and pecuniary consideration to dispose of his Company. The health of the Company is good, our stay here not unpleasant, considering our unsettled state. We occupy a beautiful situation, seldom seen with soldiers, being the old hospital buildings on the old quarantine ground, in full view of New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey, and the Bay from Sandy Hook to the Battery. The men are anxious to move, inactivity and uncertainty they dislike. Yours respectfully,


ELI OVERTON.

The fortifications in which the regiment was station- ed on the southeast side of the National capital, was deemed by the government of great importance. Sub- seqnent events fully demonstrated this importance and necessity, being the only barrier between the rebel forces and the National capital, in case the enemy should force the Federal lines, and make a raid into Maryland. This idea of the government, in all proba- bility, conduced largely in keeping the regiment from active duty in the field, and less favored regiments came to look upon it with jealous eyes, whereby at one time, it gained the sobriquet of "Old Abe's Pets." The mili- tary commanders of Washington, had come to re- gard it as a necessity to keep these forts well garri- soned for the protection of the National capital, and also believed the Tenth the best regiment to render that protection. mainly from its size and familiarity with the works, its thorough discipline and competent commanding officers. The regiment remained on this duty until ordered into active service in March, 1864. The regimental staff at this time, consisted of Alexan- der Piper, Colonel; Joseph Spratt, Lieut .- Colonel; George Depeyster Arden, Major; James B. Campbell, Major, C. C. Abell, Major, and S. R. Cowles, Captain, Acting Major, subsequently mustered as such; A. W. Wheelock, Adjutant; Stephen R. Flower, Quarter- master; Dr. O. S. Copeland, Surgeon and A. W. Good- ale, Ass't Surgeon, Rev. M. E. Wilson, Chaplain.


On the morning of March 4th, the regiment broke ramp, and took their departure from the familiar forts so long garrisoned by them, to meet new and untried experiences, taking up their line of march and in due course of time, reaching the fortifications at Arlington

Heights, which were occupied by the regiment from this date to May 27th, 1864, with headquarters at Fort Eyon, Va.


On the morning of the 27th of May, the regiment again got in marching order, joining the army of the Potomac at Cold Harbor, Col. Piper, commanding the regiment, arriving at Cold Harbor Saturday, June 4th, and was assigned to First Brigade, 2nd Division, Martindale's 18th Corps, Genl. Baldy Smith.


The following morning, Sunday, June 5th, a light skirmish occurred between the Rebel and Federal pickets, lasting half an hour. The regiment was drawn up in line of battle, but was not engaged. Here the first casualty occurred in the regiment by the killing of private Joseph Storms, Co. K, receiving a solid shot through the body. Here the regiment lay alternating with other regiments of the brigade engaged in build- ing lines of defences and doing picket and other duties, until Sunday, June 12th, when a forced march was ordered to White House Landing, a distance of 21 miles, which distance the regiment covered from 11 1-2 o'clock, A. M., to sundown, through a burning June sun, serving as part of rear guard to army from be- fore Richmond, during its advancement to Petersburg front, here embarking on a steamer for City Point, at which place the regiment arrived the next day, June 14th. Early the following morning, June 15th, the 18th Corps was put in motion for Petersburg, and about daybreak encountered the Rebel advance line. These works being lightly manned were easily carried, the honor being accorded to a regiment of colored troops, they capturing a few pieces of artillery. The main line of works was soon reached and the Corps deployed; the Tenth regiment resting in front of Bat- tery No. 5, and remaining in position throughout the day within range of the enemy's fire, lost but few in killed and wounded, owing in a measure to the pro- tection of a piece of wood and shrubby undergrowth. Towards sunset a general assault was ordered. The 87th N. Y. deployed as skirmishers in the immediate front. The 10th N. Y. Artillery and Sth Pennsylvania charged and carried Battery No. 5, and the entire onter works were carried by the 18th Corps, with but little loss, capturing 90 prisoners, with a loss to the
