Company H of the 2d artillery, which was also known as the Carth- age battery, was recruited at Waterloo and Carthage, while Co. I con- tained a small contingent of men from Watertown. The officers of Co. H were Charles L. Smith, captain; William S. Rulison, 1st lieu- tenant, and Thomas Walters, 2d lieutenant. The first eight companies left the state Nov. 1, 1861, and the others about the middle of Decem- ber. The regiment served in the defenses of the capital until the spring of 1862, after which it was attached to the army of the Potomac, and all its subsequent service was in Virginia, although in brigade,

division and corps assignments the command was subject to frequent change. However, the service of the 2d was ardnous and severe, and it lost an aggregate of 466 men, of whom more than 200 were killed in battle or died of wounds received in action. The reports show that 250 died from disease and other hardships of army life. On Sept. 29, 1865, under Col. Joseph N. G. Whistler, the regiment was mustered out of service at Washington, D. C.
The battles of the 2d artillery were: Gen. Pope's campaign, Aug. 16-Sept. 2, 1-62; Bull Run Bridge, Spottsylvania, Harris House, Milford Station, North Anna, Tolo- potomoy, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, Deep Bottom, Strawberry Plains, Reams Station, Ilatcher's Ruu, Petersburg (March, 1865), and the Appomat- tox campaigu until the final surrender on April 9.
The Tenth Artillery ( Heavy) .- This splendid organization of Jeffer- son county troops for service during the war of 1861-65 was more familiarly known in army circles as the " Black river artillery," and also as the " Jefferson county regiment " It was organized Dec. 31, 1862, from the fourth, fifth and seventh battalions of artillery, Col. Alexander Piper ' commanding. The several battalions had been or- ganized at Sackets Ilarbor in September, 1862, and the consolidation was effected under the orders of the war department, dated Dec. 28. 1862. The companies were mustered into the U. S. service for three years, chiefly at Sackets Harbor, as follows: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and MI, Sept. 11; H and I, Sept. 12; K at Staten Island, Nov. 12, and L at Fort Schuyler, Dec. 27, 1862.
The companies comprising the regiment were recruited about as fol- lows:
A, originally Co. A, 5th battalion, or 2d battalion Black river artil- lery, at Watertown; B, originally D, 4th battalion, or 1st battalion Black river artillery, at Rodman, Adams, Lorraine and Worth; C, orig. inally C, 5th battalion, or 2d battalion Black river artillery, at Antwerp, Evans Mills, Le Ray and Philadelphia; D, originally B, 4th battalion, or 1st battalion Black river artillery, at Champion, Croghan, Diana, Rutland and Wilna; E, originally A, 4th battalion, or 1st battalion Black river artillery, at Ellisburgh and Henderson; F, originally D. 5th battalion, or 2d battalion Black river artillery, at Alexandria and
1 Colonel Piper was a graduate of West Point, and by thorough training and drill, brought his command to a standing of proficiency seldom attained by volunteer troops. The regiment was kept in the defenses of Washington for nearly two years, and when it left to join the Isth corps, in May, 1564, it was without question one of the strongest and best drilled bodies in the service. It left the county about 1,500 strong.

Theresa; G, originally B, 5th battlion, or od battalion Black river ar- tillery, at Clayton and Orleans; H, originally A, ith battalion, or 3d battalion Black river artillery, at Antwerp, Adams, Boonville, Houns- field, Watertown and Worth; I, originally B, 2th battalion, or 3d bat- talion Black river artillery, at Brownville and Hounsfield ; K, originally C, fth battalion, or 3d battalion Black river artillery, at Watertown, Cape Vincent, Clayton, Orleans, Rutland, Pamelia, Le Roy and Osceola; L, originally D, îth battalion, or 3d battalion Black river artillery, at Ellis- burgh, Henderson, Adams, Watertown. Lyme, Cape Vincent and Houns field ; MI, originally C. 4th battalion, or 1st battalion Black river artillery, at Cape Vincent, Pamelia and Lyme.
This care in tracing with accuracy the formation of the regiment as it entered the service has been made necessary by reason of a general misunderstanding even on the part of the men themselves as to the means by which the command was created. The 4th battalion served at Fort Richmond and Sandy Hook, New York harbor, from Septem- 1862, until June, 1863. when it joined the other battalions. The 5th and ^th battalions left the state Sept. 11, 1862, and served in the de. fenses of Washington, and with the 3d brigade, Haskins's division, 22d corps, from that time. The regiment, having left Washington May 24, 1864, served in the 4th brigade, 1st division, 18th corps, from June 5, 1864; in the 1st brigade, 2d division, Isth corps, from June 24, 1864; in the 1st brigade, De Russey's division, 22d corps, from August, 1864; in the 2d brigade, provisional division, with the army of the Shenandoah, from Sept. 21, 1564; and in the ed brigade, Fer- rero's division, army of the James, at Bermuda Hundred, from Decem- ber, 1864, as heavy artillery and infantry. On June 23, 1865, com- manded by Lieutenant-Colonel George De Peyster Arden, the regiment was honorably discharged and mustered out at Petersburg, Va. The men whose term had not expired were transferred to Cos E, F and G, and assigned to the 6th artillery, second organization, from July 19, 1865. During its service the 10th artillery lost an aggregate of 261 men, of whom 26 were killed in action, 21 died from wounds, and 220 from diseases and other causes incident to war life.
Having thus recalled the composition and services in the field of the Black river artillery, it is proper that an allusion be also made to the personnel of the field, staff and company officers of the regiment, as follows:

The Fourteenth Artillery (Heavy). - To the strength of this regi- ment Jefferson county contributed more than 200 men, as shown by the imperfect records in existence, but it is understood the county in fact sent to the service with the command a greater number than was credited to it. Cos. A, C, D, E, HI, 1, K, L and M had volunteers from loyal Jefferson. The regiment was recruited in 1863 under an- thority granted Col. Elisha G. Marshall. It was organized at Roches- ter, and contained many men who had been in the two years' service. The companies were mustered in between the 29th of August, 1863,

and the 14th of January, 1864. To Co. A, Watertown and Antwerp contributed men; to Co. C, Watertown; Co. D, Watertown; Co. E, Watertown; Co. H, Watertown; Co. I, Le Ray, Orleans, Clayton, Philadelphia and Watertown; Co. K, Antwerp, Theresa, Wilna and Philadelphia; Co. L, Le Ray and Watertown; Co. M, Watertown, Adams, Pamelia, Rodman, Clayton and Ellisburgh.
The only field and staff officer credited to the county was Charles H. Van Brahle, adjutant, mustered Jan. 2. 1864. The. commissioned officers from this county were: Captains, Jerome B. Proctor and Jerome Cooper; 1st lieutenants, Schuyler Gardner, William Warring and Frank M. Thompson; 2d lieutenants, George B. Huntington, William W. Hunt, Byron Cuppernull, Kelsey Curtis and Daniel Corbin.
On Oct. 13, 1863, Cos. A, B, C, D, E and F were ordered to duty in New York harbor. On Dec. 8. 1863, G and H were ordered to Fort Hamilton, New York. On Dec. 24, 1863, 1 and K were ordered to Fort Richmond, where L and MI joined them in January, 1864. The regiment, serving as heavy artillery and infantry, remained in New York harbor, department of the east, until April, 1864; served in the provisional brigade, 9th corps, from April 23, 1864; in the provisional brigade, Ist division, 9th eorps, from May 12, 1864; in the 3d brigade, 1st division, 9th corps, A. of P., from June 11, 1864; in 2d brigade. same division and corps, from June 18, 1864; in 3d brigade, 1st divis- ion, 9th corps, A. of P., from September, 1864; and in the 1st brigade, Harden's division, 22d corps, from June, 1865, to Aug. 26, 1865, when, at Washington, D. C., then commanded by Colonel Marshall, it was mustered out of service. The losses aggregated 522 men, 133 were killed in action. 82 died of wounds, and 312 from disease and other causes. Eighty-seven men died in the hands of the enemy. The battles of the 14th were:
186-1-Wilderness, May 5-7; Spottsylvania C. H., May 8-21; Ny River.

The preceding narrative cantains a special allusion to the regiments in all arms of the service during the war of 1861-65 in which were any considerable number of men from Jefferson county; yet the story is not fully told until we have made at least a passing reference to other
163
THE CIVIL WAR.
commands in which were perhars a less number of the county's soldiery, but whose services were equally worthy with those before mentioned.
Glancing over the military records of the state, we find the county was represented in other commands about as follows: In Co. B, 3d regiment of infantry (three months men) were privates Charles E. Taylor and Franeis R. Vandewater. In Co. D, 53d regiment, was one county recruit. In Capt. N. G. Thorp's company, 57th infantry were two men. In the 93d regiment, Capt. Orville L. Colvin's company had nine men ; Capt. George M. Voorhees's company, one man; and Cap- tain Moshier's company, one man. In the 9th infantry, in Captain Parson's company, were seven men, and in Capt. Gustave M. Palmer's company (K) were four men from this county. In Capt. D. M. Emore's company of the 10;th regiment were seven, and in Captain Lewis's company (K) were five Jefferson recruits. In Co. C, 106th regiment, was one man.
In the cavalry arm of the service the men from Jefferson county were also much scattered through the different regiments, and in addi- tion to those before mentioned we may note the 1st cavalry, in Co. D of which was one man, while Co. E had nine men. In the 6th cavalry. the famous 2d Ira Harris guards, were nine men, and in Scott's noted 900 (the 11th cavalry) were four men. Co. H, 30th cavalry, had twenty men, and Co. I three men. Co. E of the famous " Northern Black Horse cavalry " contained a few Carthage men. Cos. 11 and 1 of the 13th, or Seymour light cavalry, had recruits from Watertown. In the 21th cavalry were twelve Jefferson men, all probably from Lorraine. Watertown furnished two men for the 25th, and a few for the 26th cavalry, the latter being mustered into service at that place. Jefferson county was represented in the Ist regiment veteran cavalry by twenty- five men in Co. B, which was recruited at Adams and Ellisburgh, and twenty-three men in Co. F, recruited also in Adams. In the 26th, better known as the " Frontier cavalry," Captain Turner's independent company (No. 2) contained forty men, enlisted at Watertown.
In the artillery branch of the service the county also contributed many men to commands not before mentioned, although the contingent was small and hardly sufficent in many cases to justify more than pass. ing mention. In the 5th regiment, the Jackson heavy artillery, Theresa furnished a few recruits for Co. K, while Champion and Wilna were represented by men in Co. M. In the 8th regiment the town of Alex- andria furnished a few men for Co. D. The 13th heavy artillery had a

total of thirty-two men from the county, who were scattered through five companies. The county had several men in Cos. A, B, C, G and I, The 16th heavy artillery had Watertown recruits in Cos. A, C and F, in all a total of twenty-two men. The 20th independent battery was recruited in part in the towns of Hounsfield and Watertown, but the State muster rolls credit the county with only two men in the com- mand. In the service this battery was known as Anthon's battalion. Independent battery No. 28 also had recruits from the county, taking eighteen men from Cape Vincent, Lyme, Sackets Harbor and Water. town. This battery was otherwise known as Anthon's light artillery battalion, and also as Willard's battalion artillery.
