COMPANY "G",
A. H. Chapman and P. R. Way were the first persons to propose raising & company in Wilmington, O. About the first of July, 1861, they drew up a paper to receive names, and canvassed the town and surrounding country, obtaining quite a number of volunteers. Learning that Asa Higgins, of New Vienna, was also recruiting, they went to see him and proposed that if he would join his recruits to theirs he should have the position of First Lieutenant; R. B. Harlan, of Wilmington, was to be Captain, and A. H. Chapman, of same place, Second Lieutenant, and P. A. Arthur, of Vienna, First Sergeant. It was supposed that this division of the offices would unite and satisfy all parties.
The company was accordingly organized with the above officers, pro- ceeded to Camp Dennison, and were mustered into the service on the 15th of July, 1861. Arms and equipments were issued on the 17th, and the next day the company embarked on steamer : t Cincinnati for the purpose of joining the Eleventh Regiment, then at Pocotaligo, Va. Capt. Harlan having resigned, bade the men farewell at Cincinnati, and returned to his home.
The steamer, with the company on board, arrived at "Poca " on the 22d, and on the 23d of July the men marched on shore, joined the regiment, and were called Company G. Previous to leaving the boat an election was held to fill the vacant Captaincy, which resulted in the choice of Lieut. Higgins for that position, and of Charles B. Lindsey for First Lieutenant-Lieut. Chapman preferring to retain the position of Second Lieutenant.
The Regimental and Company Books show the following record of the members :
R. B. Harlan, Captain. Appointed July 9, 1861; resigned July 18th, 1861.
Asa Higgins, First Lieutenant. Promoted to Captain, July 23, 1861 ; to Major October 1, 1862. Mustered out with the regiment. (See Field and Staff.)
