NOTE .- "Colonel Hartranft, of the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment, accompanied me to the field as wul-de-camp. His services were exceedingly valuable to me, and he distinguished himself in his attempts to rally the regiments, which had been thrown into confu- sion."-Col. W. B. Franklin's official report, First Brigade, Third Division, series i. vol. ii., " Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies," p. 406.

For the greater convenience of reference, the history of the military organizations identified with Mont- gomery County will be continued in the chronological order of their formation and departure for the seat of the war. Where companies have been organized and become attached to regiments, it is due to those aceredited to the county that an account of their services be related, as the same has been officially preserved in the history of the regiments of which they were a part. They appear as follows:

The Forty-Fourth Regiment (or First Pennsyl- vania Cavalry) entered the service for the term of

three years. Company B was recruited in Mont- gomery County, and was trained for the distinguished service which it experienced by Colonel George D. Bayard,1 a graduate of West Point United States Military Academy, elass of 1856. He early distin- guished himself as a fearless cavalry leader, and would undoubtedly have become a division and corps com- mander had he not fallen mortally wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg, Va .. in December, 1862, while in command of a brigade of cavalry. Of the twenty-two regiments of cavalry organized in Peun- sylvania during the great Rebellion, not one regiment was wholly recruited and accredited to a single eity or county. Men volunteering for this arm of the service were of a class accustomed to the use of horses or had a fondness for them.

Some excellent troops were formed of young horse- men from our large cities and inland towns, but most of the companies were recruited in the country districts. As a general rule, the men of this arm of the service were of the best material and made ex- cellent soldiers. But in the mass of men who were hastily recruited and sent forward as substitutes in the latter part of 1863 to 1865 there were many un- fitted for the cavalry service. Under the rules and regulations of the War Department in force at the time, the maximum number of men for a troop or company of cavalry was one hundred. Twelve com- panies composed a regiment. These companies were further organized into squadrons of two companies each, and the six squadrons were formed into three battalions. Three regiments generally formed a bri- gade, though sometimes four and even five regiments were united in the same brigade, but this was only in cases where commands had become decimated. Two brigades generally formed a division, and the three divisions operating with the Army of the Potomae constituted the cavalry corps. This branch of the public service was first organized by Major-General Joseph Hooker when he assumed command of the Army of the Potomac in the winter of 1863.2

I George D. Bayard, appointed at large by the President a cadet to the I'nited States Military Academy, West Point, July 1. 1852. Graduated July 1, 1856, and assigned to duty as second lientenant, First Cavalry. Served on frontier duty, and in the Kansas disturbances; wounded in the face by a poisoned arrow in an engagement with the Indians near Bent's Fort, Col., July 11, 1860 ; assigned to duty at the Military Academy as assistant instructor of cavalry, March 16 to September 3, 1861 ; promoted first lieutenant, First Cavalry, March 16, 1861 ; captain, Fourth Cavalry, August 20, 1861 ; appointed colonel, First Pennsylvania Cavalry Volun- teers, September 14, 1861 ; promoted brigadier-general, United States Volunteers, April 28, 1862; assigned to command of cavalry brigade, Army of Potomac ; participated in all the operations of the army in front of Washington during the summer and fall of 1862, and fell mortally wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg. December 13, 1862. He died the following day, aged twenty-seven years.

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

The artillery assigned to the cavalry were mounted and known as "Horse Artillery," and, with the ex- ception of Martin's Independent Battery of New York, were detached from the regulars. The proportion of artillery was one battery to each brigade. The guns used were twelve-pounder Napoleons and the Griffin six-pounder rifled guns. Most of the latter were made at Phoenixville, Pa. The cavalry were armed with sabre, Colt's revolving pistol and Sharp's carbine. Many of the troops in 1864 were supplied with the Spencer carbine, "seven-shooters." They were the most destructive arm of the kind in use. In the campaigns of 1864-65 the cavalry frequently fought dismounted, and owing to the superior arms in use, they were uniformly victorious, inflicting a heavy loss of life upon the enemy. Company B of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry was the pioneer organization of horsemen from Montgomery County. It was com- posed of a class of men representing the intelligence and patriotism of the Schuylkill Valley, and left the county under the command of Captain Owen Jones, of Lower Merion. The regiment was one of the most distinguished of Pennsylvania Reserves, and always ranked among the best in the famous cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac. The public service of the regiment from its muster in to the surrender of Lee at Appomatox was fully shared by Company B. It is therefore due to the men who composed it, and their descendants, that the essential facts of history connected with the regimental organization be pre- served.

COLONEL OWEN JONES, who, from early manhood until his death, was one of the most prominent and honored citizens of Montgomery County and of the State of Pennsylvania, was a son of Jonathan and Mary (Thomas) Jones, and a descendant of Edward Jones, who was a native of Wales, and came thence to Pennsylvania nearly two centuries ago, settling on lands purchased from William Penn and which forms part of the estate that has been held in the Jones family from that time until the present.

portion of the property which descended through successive generations to Colonel Owen Jones came into possession of his ancestors through the marriage of a son of the original settler, Edward Jones, with a daughter of Thomas Wynne, Speaker of the first Colo- nial Assembly of Pennsylvania, who took up lands adjoining those of Edward Jones. By that marriage the Wynne and Jones lands became united in one estate, which, in honor of the Wynne family, received the name which it still bears,-Wynnewood.

In the Wynnewood mansion, on this estate, Owen Jones was born, December 29, 1819. On reaching the proper age, and having passed through a preparatory course of study, he entered the University of Pennsyl- vania, where, in due time, he was graduated, and commenced the study of law in the office of William M. Meredith, of Philadelphia. At the conclusion of his law course he was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia and soon afterwards (May 19, 1842) was also admitted to practice in Montgomery County. But having a preference for the pursuit of agriculture, rather than for the practice of lis profession, he gave his attention chiefly to the former, becoming deeply interested in the raising of fine stock and in everything tending to the promotion of improvement in methods of farming. In 1845 he became the purchaser of property in West Philadelphia belonging to the Warner estate, which afterwards had a remarkable rise in value, and became known as the " drove-yard property."

In 1856 Mr. Jones received the Democratic Con- gressional nomination for the Fifth District, which then embraced Montgomery County and some of the northern wards of Philadelphia. He was elected and served in Congress from December, 1857, to March 4, 1859. Prior to his election to Congress he had served, under appointment by Judge Thomas Burn- side, as member of a commission charged with the duty of adjusting the basis of State taxation for the district composed of the counties of Montgomery and Bueks.

On the breaking out of the great war of the Rebel- lion, in April, 1861, he immediately became promi- nent as one of the most earnest and active supporters of the government and the Union. Under the legis- lative act of May 15th of that year, providing for the formation of the "Reserve Volunteer Corps of the Commonwealth," to include one regiment of mounted men, he at once commenced the raising of a company of cavalry, which he recruited almost entirely at his own private expense. The company, which was made up of men of Lower Merion and adjoining town- ships, was soon filled and moved to the rendezvous at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, where it became Com- pany B of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry. It was afterwards designated as the Forty-fourth Regiment of the State volunteer forces and placed under com- mand of Colonel George D. Bayard. Prior to this (August 5, 1861) Captain Owen Jones, of Company B, had been promoted to the grade of major. In Sep-

THE GREAT REBELLION.

tember the regiment moved from Camp Curtin to Tenallytown, Md., whence, on the 10th of October, it crossed the Potomae River into Virginia. A few weeks later it first saw actual service in the battle of Dranesville, where it took a leading part in the attack, which resulted in the complete rout of the enemy.

On the 3d of January, 1862, upon the resignation of Lieutenant-Colonel Jacob Higgins, Major Owen Jones was advanced to the higher grade, and iu the following May he was promoted to the coloneley of the regiment, Colonel Bayard having been made a brigadier-general.

While under command of Colonel Jones the First Cavalry performed severe and continuous service, and fought gallantly in a great number of engagements, among the principal of which were those of HJart- wood Church, Woodstock, Harrisonburg, Port Repub- lie, Front Royal, Cross-Keys, Groveton, Robertson's River, Strasburg, Cedar Mountain, Chantilly, Second Bull Run, Falmouth and finally the great battle of Fredericksburg (December 11 to 13, 1862), where Colonel Jones, acting as brigadier-general, commanded a full cavalry brigade, occupying a position on the extreme left and in the advance of General Frank- lin's corps. In that battle General Bayard was killed.

In January. 1863, about one month after the battle ! of Fredericksburg, Colonel Jones, with his regiment, took part in the famous, but profitless, " Mud March" of General Burnside's army up the Rappahannock, and then, after three days of severest toil, along im- passable roads, back to their former position. This was the last of the military operations in which Colonel Jones participated. On the 30th of January, 1863, he resigned his commission and left the service. To his country he had done his whole duty, and had done it well. From the officers and men who served under him he had won the full measure of that respect and love which soldiers always give to a brave, generous and humane commander. On all the muster-rolls of Pennsylvania, or of the great Union army, there could not be found the name of a truer patriot or a more gallant and conscientious officer than Colonel Owen Jones.

Returning from the army to his beautiful home at Wynnewood, Colonel Jones resumed the peaceful vocations which had been interrupted by his de- parture for the field of war. In these pursuits and in the enjoyments of domestic life he continued through a further period of nearly fifteen years, which brought him to the close of his honorable and useful career. Early in the evening of December 25, 1878, he set out from his home alone and on foot, intending, in com- pany with his near neighbor, Mr. Wister, to spend the evening in a social way at the house of their mutual friend, Dr. George Gerhard. On leaving home he directed his coachman to call for him at the doctor's house at ten o'clock. At that hour the man went

with the carriage, according to directions, but, on reaching Dr. Gerhard's, was told that Colonel Jones had not been there. He then procceded to the house of Mr. Wister, where he inquired for the colonel, but received the same answer. A search was then made along the way that Colonel Jones was supposed to have taken, and about an hour later his body was found, lying face downward, lifeless and cold, within fifty yards of Dr. Gerhard's residence. His death had evidently been instantaneous and the result of apo- plexy. The remains were interred in the family vault at Laurel Hill. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, among whom were a num- ber of those who had been his companions-in-arms and many of the leading men of Pennsylvania. His death was deeply mourned by all who knew him, and by none outside the family more sincerely than by the worthy poor, to whom he had always been a friend and liberal benefactor.

Colonel Owen Jones was married, November 4, 1841, to Mary, daughter of Isaac W. Roberts. Their children were four in number,-Emily R., Owen Glendower, Annie and J. Aubrey Jones, the last- named being now the only survivor. He resides with his mother in the Wynnewood family mansion, where his father was born and which was his home during all the years of his life.
