SEVENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT OF INFANTRY.
The towns of Richford, Newark Valley, Spencer and Candor contributed nearly the entire contingent of men from Tioga county in this command, which was familiarly known in the service as the "Cherry Valley," and also as the "Cromwellian" regiment. It was a consolidated regiment, recruited in Cortland, Otsego and Schoharie counties during the fall and winter of 1861, and was mustered into service for three years, January 16, 1862. On the 17th the 76th left the state and served in the defense of Washington until March, then began active service in Virginia. The appended list of battles best shows the actual service of the regiment, but we may add that during the period of its operations the 76th lost in killed, wounded and missing, a total of 341 men, of whom 56 enlisted men died in the hands of the enemy. The engagements in which that regiment took part were :

CHAPTER XI.
TIOGA COUNTY IN THE WAR OF 1861-65. (CONTINUED).
ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH REGIMENT OF INFANTRY.
In many respects this was one of the most notable and noble regiments recruited in Tioga county during the period of the war. In the session of the legislature which began January 7th and closed April 23d, 1862, Benjamin F. Tracy, member of assembly from Tioga county, and a practicing lawyer of Owego, was pro- nounced and outspoken in all measures proposed to promote the success of the Union arms ; and when he on the 22d of July, of that year, received authority from the war department to recruit a regiment of infantry in the counties of Tioga, Broome and Tomp- kins, the loyal young men of the region eagerly rallied to his sup- port and enlisted under the flag.
As recorded by state military authorities, the several companies comprising the 109th were recruited chiefly as follows : A at New- field, Caroline and Danby ; B at Candor, Richford, Newark Valley, Berkshire, Owego and Caroline; C at Owego and Candor; D at Binghamton ; E at Binghamton, Chenango and Sanford ; F at Groton and Dryden ; G at Trumansburg, Enfield, Jacksonville, Lansing and Ulysses ; H at Owego and Binghamton ; I at Smith- boro, Tioga Centre, Waverly and Spencer ; and K at Nichols, Candor and Owego.
The regiment was organized in camp at Binghamton, and there on the 27th day of August, 1862, was mustered into service by Captain David Ireland of the regular army, and afterward colonel
J. J. Callin

THE GREAT CIVIL WAR.
of the 137th regiment of New York state volunteers. The 109th broke camp on August 30th, 1862, and two days later pitched tents at Annapolis Junction, Md. At this time the field and staff officers of the regiment were as follows :
Colonel, Benjamin F. Tracy ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Isaac S. Catlin ; Major, Philo B. Stillson ; Adjutant, Peter W. Hopkins; Quartermaster, James S. Thurston ; Chaplain- Albert Wyatt ; Surgeon, Sanford B. Hunt ; First Assistant Surgeon, William E. John- son ; Second Assistant Surgeon, Salphronius H. French ; Sergeant-Major, Marshall Water- field ; Quartermaster Sergeant, William A. King ; Commissary-Sergeant, Jesse A. Ashley.
The several companies in which were Tioga county volunteers were officercd as follows :
Company B, Captain, Robert H. S. Hyde ; First Lieutenant, Benjamin C. Wade ; Sec- ond Lieutenant, George L. Haynes.
Company C, Captain, John Gorman ; First Lieutenant, William H. S. Bean ; Second Lieutenant, Solomon Oakley.
Company H, Captain, Austin W. Alfred ; First Lieutenant, E. R. Jones ; Second Lieutenant, John S. Giles.
Company I, Captain, Zelotus G. Gordon ; First Lieutenant, John S. Hopkins ; Second Lieutenant, Gilbert D. Craft.
Company K, Captain, William Warwick ; First Lieutenant, Selah V. Reeve ; Second Lieutenant, George A. Matthews
After leaving the defences of Washington the 109th was sta- tioned along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, guarding that in- portant line against the enemy, an important though not severe duty. In March, 1864, the regiment was attached to the first brigade, third division of the ninth corps, and in August was united with the first division of the same corps, the latter then commanded by General Burnside. Under Generals Hartranft and Burnside the arduous service of the 109th was performed ; and when we say arduous service the full meaning of the expression is intended, for while the regiment participated in only sixteen engagements, they were among some of the most severe and dis- astrous of the war.
At the battle of the Wilderness, the loss to the 109th was seven- ty-eight men, and at Spottsylvania and Ny river, one hundred and forty more. Less than a month later a loss of twenty-four was suffered at Cold Harbor ; fifty-nine before Petersburg, while the famous assault on the enemy's works in June cost the regi-

ment another one hundred and twenty-seven men. At the mine explosion fifty-three more were lost, twenty at the Weldon road, and twenty-three at the fall of Petersburg in April, 1865. In the aggregate the losses amounted to 329 men, of whom 42 died in the hands of the enemy.
A short time after the battle of the Wilderness Colonel Tracy resigned, and the command thereafter devolved upon Lieutenant- Colonel Catlin, the latter being commissioned colonel just before the mine explosion at Petersburg. In that affair Colonel Catlin lost a leg, Major Stillson was wounded, and Lieutenant Griswold of Co. F was killed. Captain John Gorman of Co. C was killed at Cold Harbor. After the mine explosion at Petersburg Lieuten- ant-Colonel Pier of the 21st Wisconsin was placed in temporary command of the 109th, and at the final and welcome muster-out, at the Delaney House, D. C., on June 4th, 1865, Major Gordon, formerly captain of Co. I, was in command.
The engagements in which the 109th took part were :
The Wilderness, May 5-7, 1864. Assault of Petersburg, June 16, 1864.
Spottsylvania, C. H., May 8-21, 1864.
Mine explosion, July 30, 1864.

As may be seen from what has been stated, each town in Tioga county furnished recruits for the 109th regiment, and it is there- fore proper to mention the names of the men by towns rather than by companies, that the reader may know the town from which the men enlisted. For the purpose of proper arrangement the appended list will be given in alphabetical order.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT OF INFANTRY.
On the 31st of August. 1862, Colonel David Ireland received authority to recruit and organize a regiment of infantry in the twenty-fourth congressional district of this state ; and as a result of his energetic efforts, on the 25th and 26th of September follow- ing, the 137th was mustered into service for three years. In De- cember, 1864, a company of recruits were joined to the regiment, at Savannah, Ga., and became Co. L. On June 8th, 1865, the men not mustered out with the regiment were transferred to the 102d N. Y. Vols.
To the numerical strength of the 137th at least seven towns of Tioga county contributed volunteers, and they were scattered through the several companies forming the regiment. In Co. B, which was recruited chiefly in Broome county, the town of Rich- ford furnished several men, while Co. C was raised almost wholly in Owego, and was known as Captain Hoskins's company. Com- pany G was raised in the towns of Berkshire, Richford, Newark Valley, Candor, Caroline and Groton, and Co. H was composed largely of volunteers from Spencer, Candor, Barton and Owego. The numerical strength of the 137th came from the adjoining county of Broome.
