SECOND REGIMENT OHIO HEAVY ARTILLERY.
In 1863 it became necessary to recruit a class of troops whose duty it should be to fortify, garrison, and hold many important forts and strongholds that had been captured from the enemy. For this purpose the Second Ohio Heavy Artil- lery, consisting of twenty-four hundred men, rank and file, was then authorized.
Company M, commanded by Captaiu William H. H. Crowell, and other com- panies of the regiment were largely recruited from Ashtabula County. Company M was mustered into service September 9, 1863, at Covington Barracks, and on the 18th of the same month it moved to Fort Willich, Mumfordsville, Kentucky. January 10, 1864, it was transferred to Fort Taylor, at Camp Nelson, Kentucky,
where it remained on duty until May 26, 1864. From Camp Sedgwick, at Cleveland, Tennessee, it participated with the rest of the regiment in various expeditions, and was engaged in a skirmish at Strawberry Plains, where the Union forces were in a critical position. February 1, 1865, it was at Athens, Tennessee. It was there mustered out of the service, August 23, 1865, and on the 29th of the same month was paid and disbanded at Camp Chase, Ohio.
SECOND OHIO CAVALRY.
This regiment was recruited and organized in the summer and autumn of 1861, at Camp Wade, near Cleveland, Ohio. It was the first cavalry regiment raised in the northern part of the State, drew into its ranks men of intelligence, culture, and capacity, and represented cvery trade and profession. In January, 1862, the Second Cavalry procceded by rail to Platte City, Missouri, reported to General David Hunter, and was quartered in the town. In February, the Second marched through the border counties of Missouri to Fort Scott, Kansas. On the 22d of Feb- ruary a scouting-party of one hundred and twenty men of the Second Cavalry were attacked in the streets of Independence, Missouri, by an equal force of the enemy under the command of the famous Quantrill. As the results of the Second's first fight, Quantrill was routed in fifteen minutes, losing fourteen men. The Second lost one man killed and three wounded. The Second Cavalry moved with the army into the Indian Territory in June. At Baxter Springs three regiments of loyal Indians, mounted on ponies and armed with squirrel rifles, joined the com- mand. During the summer one hundred and fifty men were detailed from the Second Cavalry to man, temporarily, a light battery, and six months later the de- tail was made a transfer by order of the War Department, and constituted the Twenty-fifth Ohio Battery. In September, the Second, with the battery men- tioned, marched with the army of General Blunt into Missouri and Arkansas, sharing in the campaign which ended in the victory of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, December 2, 1862. In the autumn campaign the Second fought at Carthage and Newtonia, Missouri, camped on the battle-field of Pea Ridge, and fought at Cow Hill, Wolf Creek, and White River. Captain August V. Kautz, Sixth United States Cavalry, was appointed colonel of the Second, and soon after it was trans- ferred to Camp Chase, Ohio, to remount and refit for the field. In February, 1863, the original twelve companies were consolidated into eight, and a battalion of four companies of the Eighth Ohio Cavalry was added to the Second. In April the Second moved into Kentucky. In May and June the Second fought twice at Steubenville, twice at Monticello, and once at Columbia, Kentucky. The Second joined in the pursuit of John Morgan, following the great raider twelve hundred miles, through three States, and shared in the capture at Buffington's Island.
The work of the Second in East Tennessce was active and honorable, where skirmishes occurred too numerous to record. During the siege of Knoxville, the Second operated on the enemy's flank, and joined in the pursuit of Longstreet's army. On the 2d of December, 1862, it fought Longstreet's cavalry, at Morris- town, and on the 4th of the same month the Second lost forty men killed and wounded at Russellville. On the 6th it was at the front five hours at the battle of Beam Station. The Second re-enlisted in January, 1864, and was furloughed for thirty days. It was ordered to Annapolis, Maryland, and moved out of camp May 1, eight hundred strong, crossing the Long Bridge into Virginia. The Second was transferred from the Ninth Army Corps to Sheridan's Cavalry Corps. Its duties following were arduous, and its losses severe. From the Army of the Potomac the Second marched to the Shenandoah Valley. Several companies of the Second, acting as a rear-guard, fought an hour in dense darkness in the streets of Winchester. The Second Ohio Cavalry, with the aid of the Third New Jersey Cavalry, captured an entire regiment of Confederate infantry near Winchester, special mention being made by the Secretary of War of the gallantry of these two regiments.
On the 19th of October the Second fought at Cedar Creek, being in the saddle from daybreak until nine o'clock P.M. It occupied the centre on the Valley pike, while the infantry formed in the rear of the cavalry, was present on the pike when Sheridan came to the front on his immortal ride, assisted to raise the shout of welcome, and joined in the charges that decided the victory. On the 27th of February, 1865, the Second started with Sheridan on the last raid of the war, sharing in the capture of Early's army at Waynesboro', March 2. In this action the Second captured five picces of artillery with caissons. For this it received the thanks of General Custer upon the field. The Second joined the Army of the Potomac with Sheridan's cavalry, at Petersburg, entering the campaign that closed the war. From the 27th of March to the surrender of Lee the Second captured and turned over to the provost-marshal eightcen pieces of artillery. Soon after the grand review at Washington, the Second was ordered to St. Louis, Mis- souri, and from thence to Springfield. The order for muster-out was soon received, when the Second proceeded to Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 11th of September, 1865, was paid and disbanded.

HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO.
The following is the closing paragraph of the sketch of the Second Ohio Cavalry, in Whitelaw Reid's " Ohio in the War":
" The Second fought under the following general officers : Buell, Wright, Hunter, Denver, Sturgis, Blunt, Salomon, C'urtis, Schofield, Burnside, Carter, Sheridan, Gillmore, Shackelford, Foster, Kautz, Sedgwick, Wilson, McIntosh, Torbert, Custer, Meade, and Grant. Its horses have drank from, and its troopers have bathed in, the waters of the Arkansas, Kaw, Osage, Cygnes, Missouri, Mis- sissippi, Ohio, Scioto, Miami, Cumberland, Tennessee, Holston, Potomac, Shenan- doah, Rappahannock, Rapidan, Bull Run, Mattapony, Pamunky, Chiekahominy, James, Appomattox, Black water, Nottaway, and Chesapeake. It has campaigned through thirteen States and the Indian Territory. It has traveled, as a regiment, on foot, horseback, by railroad and steamboat, on land, river, bay, and ocean. It has marched an aggregate distance of twenty-seven thousand miles ; has fought in ninety-seven (97) battles and engagements. It has served in five different armnies,-the Army of the Frontiers, of the Missouri, of the Potomac, of the Ohio, and of the Shenandoah,-forming a continuous line of armies from the head- waters of the Arkansas to the mouth of the James, and its dead, sleeping where they fell, form a vidette-line half across the continent, a chain of prostrate senti- nels two thousand miles long. Even in their graves, may not their patriot dead still guard the glory and the integrity of the Republic for which they fell ?"
SIXTH OHIO CAVALRY.
In September, 1861, Amander Bingham, of Orwell, received orders to raise a company of cavalry. The company was organized with the purpose of joining the Third Ohio Cavalry, then forming at Monroeville, Ohio. Another regiment of cavalry was ordered to be recruited on the Reserve about this time, and the company decided to go into the Sixth Regiment, to be organized at Warren, Trumbull county. In January, 1862, the Sixth Regiment moved from Camp Hutchins to Camp Dennison, and from thence to Camp Chase, to assist in guarding Confederate prisoners. On the 13th of May, 1862, it was sent to Wheeling, Virginia, where it was equipped for the field, and ordered to join General Fremont at Franklin, but instead joined him at Strasburg, in his pursuit of Jackson down the Shenandoah valley. At Strasburg the Sixth had its first fight, when seven men were wounded. It skirmished with the Second and Sixth Virginia Cavalry, forming the Confederate rear-guard, under General Turner Ashby. June 7, 1862, the Sixth was engaged, losing a number in killed and wounded. The Sixth was under fire fourteen days in contesting the passage of the Rapidan river, and in doing" good service at the second battle of Bull Run. In March, 1863, it fought at Kelley's Ford, where fifteen men were killed and wounded. At the battle of Aldie, Virginia, June 17, General Kilpatrick ordered Colonel Steadman to charge, with one squadron, a Confederate column. Captain Northway, of Company A, was ordered to make the charge, which he did, only seven men returning un- harmed out of thirty engaged, nearly every one being wounded in a hand-to-hand conflict. At the battles of Middleburg, Upperville, and Gettysburg the Sixth Cavalry acted well its part. September 1, Major Cryer, with a patrol of fifty men, were ambushed by about two hundred dismounted Confederate cavalry, and, after sharp fighting, only seven men reached camp unharmed. At the battle of Bristoe Station, Captain Leeman, with one squadron, was ordered to charge through the enemy's lines, and report to the rear-guard that the enemy had ob- tained possession of the road, a feat which he successfully accomplished. He returned the next day, having reached the command by taking another road. The Sixth spent the winter of 1863-64 at Warrenton, Virginia, in picketing the right and rear of the Federal army, and in protecting it from raids from the no- torious Mosby. Hardly a day passed without an encounter of some kind, and many were the midnight marches made to surprise Mosby in his camp. The Sixth re- enlisted in January, 1864, and was recruited in the spring nearly agaiu to its maximum number. The Sixth accompanied Sheridan in his attempt on Rich- mond. It was rear-guard the first day out, and as such received several charges from Stuart's chosen regiments, all of which were repulsed. It fought, May 11, at Yellow Tavern, where General Stuart fell, and May 12 it fought a severe battle inside the defenses of Richmond. May 28 it fought at Owen Church, ยท where Captain Northway and thirteen men were killed and thirty-five wounded. At Cold_Harbor and Trevilian Station the Sixth lost heavily, and as Gregg's division was driven from the field at Trevilian, it was ordered to form the rear- guard, in which duty it performed excellent service. Crossing the James river with Grant's army, the Sixth pushed around to the left of the Federal line to Reams' Station, for the purpose of reinforcing General Wilson, who was being defeated. The Sixth was in the cavalry battle of Malvern Hill; at Hatcher's Run, October 27, 1864, and again, February 3, 1865; and at Cold Ilarbor, May 31, 1864 ; at Dinwiddie Court-house, Five Forks, Weldon Railroad, Sailor's Creek, and Farmville. At the battle of Appomattox Court-House the Sixth had the honor of opening the engagement, having marched during the night to a positiou
across the only road left for the retreat of the Confederate army. Soon after day- light on that memorable morning an attack was made upon the Federal line, which had been fortified by a rail breastwork, and after a spirited resistance the regiment fell back, only to show to the pursuing ariny our strong lines of infantry who had come up during the early morning. The attack ended, a white flag was flying in the Confederate front, and the work was accomplished. The next day the Sixth was detailed to escort General Grant from Appomattox to Burkesville. When Johnson's surrender was announced the Sixth was sent to Petersburg, and soon after sent in detachments to different counties comprising the " Sub-District of the Appomattox." In August, the Sixth was ordered to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of service.
SEVENTH KANSAS CAVALRY.
In August, 1861, John Brown, Jr., of this county, obtained authority to re- cruit and transport a company of riflemen to Kansas. The inen of his company were recruited chiefly among the hunters of western Pennsylvania, from Ashta- bula County, and from northwestern Michigan. November 12, 1861, at Leaven- worth, Kansas, they were mustered into service as Company K, Seventh Kansas Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Jennison. Their first services were fighting bushwhackers in western Missouri, along the borders of Kansas, and the Indian Territory. In May, 1862, the Seventh was ordered south, and commenced the summer's campaign after the battle of Corinth. While stationed at Rienzi, Mississippi, the men suffered severely from the effects of the climate, and many died in hospitals. The Seventh campaigned in Mississippi, Alabama, and Ten- nessee until September, 1864, when it was sent to Missouri, and engaged in the memorable " Price's raid," following the enemy nearly twice across that State. The Seventh performed effective service fighting guerrillas in Missouri and Ar- kansas, and in August, 1865, was ordered to the plains to fight Indians. At Fort Kearney the Seventh was ordered to Fort Leavenworth for muster-out, and was disbanded September 29, 1865. The Seventh fought at Iuka, Mississippi, in Au- gust, 1862 ; second battle of Corinth, Mississippi, October, 1862; Water Valley and Coffeeville, in December, 1862; Grenada and Tupelo, Mississippi; Buzzard Roost and Tuscumbia, Alabama; and many cavalry skirmishes.
ELEVENTH NEW YORK INDEPENDENT BATTERY.
On the 17th of September, 1861, Robert C. Warmington, of Ashtabula, re- eeived a commission from an old friend, General G. A. Scroggs, of Buffalo, New York, authorizing him to recruit a battery of artillery, and nine days later he left Ashtabula with a company of about eighty men. At Albany. January 6, 1862, the command of Captain Warmington was consolidated with Captain Von Puttkammer's command, with the designation of Eleventh New York Independent Battery. It garrisoned Fort Ellsworth, at Alexandria, Virginia, until August 24, 1862, when it marched to Manassas Junction, by order of General MeClellan. While encamped at the Junction, four guns of this battery, without proper sup- port, were attacked at about eleven o'clock at night by Jackson's forces. Five rounds each per gun of grape and canister were fired from the guns engaged. Twenty-nine men and the four guns were captured. The following morning the balance of the battery, with two guns, with the assistance of a New York regi- ment, held Jackson's forces in check long enough to enable the trains to escape to Alexandria. The battery was engaged in the actions at Fredericksburg, Vir- ginia, December 13, 1862; Chancellorsville, Virginia, May 2 and 3, 1863; Gettysburg, Pa., July 3, 1863; Mine Run, Virginia, November 26, 1863; North Anna River, Virginia, May 23 to 26, 1864; Tolopotomy Creek, Virginia, May 28 to 31, 1864; Cold Harbor, Virginia, June 3 to 12, 1864 ; Petersburg, Virginia, June 16 to 19, 1864; Jerusalem Plank-Road, Virginia, June 23 and 24, 1864; and second battle at Deep Bottom, Virginia, August 14, 1864. Nine Ashtabula County soldiers who enlisted in this battery were killed in action or died in the service.
THE SQUIRREL HUNTERS.
During the autumn of 1862, the Confederate General Kirby Smith advanced upon Cincinnati with a large army. Governor Tod issued a proclamation calling upon all who would furnish themselves with rations and arms to turn out, organize under their owu officers, and rendezvous at Cincinnati, transportation over the railroads to be provided by the government. Three hundred and sixty-six citizens of Ashtabula County responded to the call of the governor. These men, of course, saw no fighting, but their work was cheerfully performed because they thought their services were needed. Governor Tod caused lithograph discharges to be forwarded to those whose names could be obtained. These discharges may be found in many homes in the county, where they are properly prized.
To G. F. Lewis, Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio, we are indebted for rolls of the companies of Captains Joshua Fobes, Jedediah Burnham, John R. Reed, John and Jacob Bartholomew, War of 1812. The roster of Ashtabula's soldiers during the War of the Rebellion was compiled from the muster-rolls in the office of Adjutant-General Meilly, at Columbus, and from files of the Ashtabula Sentinel.
