CHAPTER XXVI.

MILITARY RECORD IN THE WAR OF 1812, THE MEXICAN WAR, AND THE REBELLION.

WAR OF 1812 - MEXICAN WAR - MILITARY COMPANIES UNDER THE OLD REGIME - LYCOMING COUNTY IN THE, REBELLION - PROMPT EXPRESSIONS OF PATRIOTISM - ROSTERS OF COMPANIES FROM LYCOMING COUNTY - THE BOARD OF ENROLLMENT.


BEFORE proceeding to describe the part Lycoming county took in the rebellion, it is necessary to refer to the war of 1812-14, and the Mexican war. In the former war the county was not called on to send any military organizations to the front. When war was declared the President notified Governor Snyder that the quota of Pennsylvania, out of 100,000 militia to be raised, would be 14,000 men, and to proceed with a draft immediately. It was stated, however, that any "flank company or companies attached to any regiment, of a number equal to the number of militia required to be drafted from such regiment, may be accepted in substitution of such draft from the regiment." Lycoming county belonged to the Xth division, First brigade, of the militia apportionment. John Burrows, of Montoursville, was major general; John Cummings, of Williamsport, brigadier general, and Samuel Stewart, of Nippenose, brigade inspector. Abram Lawshe, of Jersey Shore, was major of the regiment, but the names of the other officers are not obtainable.

The draft was proceeded with. A statement of the commissioners for 1813 shows that they paid William Cox Ellis and William Wilson $300 for serving as draft commissioners. The division to which Lycoming county belonged seems to have been required to furnish 532 men, divided among the infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

That there were at least two companies organized and held in readiness, there seems to be no doubt. One belonged at Muncy the other at Jersey Shore. The Muncy company, according to a statement made by the late Isaac Bruner, (See Now and Then, December, 1874) consisted of between sixty and seventy men, and he was one of the number. They were organized and uniformed, and their services tendered to the Governor, but they never were called into service. The strength of the other company is unknown. Neither is it known who the officers were.

In the meantime citizens of Tioga and Potter counties petitioned the Governor, setting forth the threatening attitude of the Indians on the northwestern frontier, and praying that their counties should not be left unprotected. Lycoming was returned by Brigade Inspector Stewart as a frontier county, and he is reputed to have stated in after years that that was the reason why no companies were called. A letter from the Governor to Stewart, dated September 22, 1812, acknowledges the receipt of a return of all the officers, and states that commissions had been sent for all but Captain Gortner's company, which could not be issued until it was known to what battalion it was to be attached. This was probably the Muncy company, as Gortner lived in that end of the county.

But if no organizations went from this county, a number enlisted in other companies and served at the front. The drafted men were assigned to different regiments. Among those who went out independently was Robert Davidson. He was a son of Dr. James Davidson, the Revolutionary surgeon, who lived near Pine creek. He was appointed a lieutenant and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane.

Several companies from the lower counties passed through Williamsport on their way to Black Rock, and tradition says that barracks were erected here for their comfort, and that they tarried several days for rest. Wagon trains loaded with supplies also passed here. Several cannon were taken through by this route. These companies and trains traveled by both the State and Williamson roads via Wellsboro and the Block House. On the return home they came the same way. One company, which belonged in Huntingdon county, was entertained with an ox roast at Jersey Shore. Another company, with many suffering from fever, was obliged to go into camp on Muncy creek, and several soldiers are reported to have died there.

There were very few from this county who served in the Mexican war. Samuel Shadman, John Shadle, John F. Meginness, and John Swain are the only names remembered. The last mentioned is deceased.

There were a number of military companies in the county, and "training day" for the militia was always an event of more than ordinary importance while the militia system existed. The old Bennett tavern, above Linden, was the place of meeting for many years for the militia "to muster;" Road Hall, in Washington township, where Squire Sedam kept tavern, was another place made famous by these meetings. Maj. William Piatt, who lived in sight of the famous hostelry, raised the first troop of horse organized in the county. It was called the "First Lycoming Troop," and he served as its captain for more than twenty years. An act approved April 18,1843, authorized the adjutant general to furnish the "Lycoming dragoons, a volunteer company of cavalry, with holsters, pistols, sabres, and belts." Doubtless this was the company commanded by Major Piatt.

The first military encampment was held at Williamsport, on Woodward hill, in 1857, during the administration of Governor Packer. It was largely attended and proved to be a very satisfactory and enjoyable affair for both soldiers and citizens. The Third brigade of the National Guard encamped here in 1883. The camp was finely situated on a hill north of the city and the military spent a few days very pleasantly. It was strictly a military camp of instruction, and was not without profit to the soldiery.

LYCOMING COUNTY IN THE REBELLION*.

Patriotism found prompt and appropriate expression in the county when the safety of the Union seemed to be imperiled. Many descendants of Revolutionary stock were included in her population, and these, as well as others who could not boast, such enviable descent, were prompt to declare for the cause of the government. They watched closely every step in the progress of events toward the fateful clash, and the nearer the decisive hour came the higher arose the loyal enthusiasm among the people of the valley. The martial spirit, while it had not been developed to the highest extent here, had not been suffered to go into decline.

August 23, 1856, the "Woodward Guards," an artillery company, named after Judge Woodward, a prominent gentleman of Williamsport, were organized. The preamble to their constitution and by laws contained the following: "Being fully convinced of the utility of well regulated volunteer corps in a republican government, as well in time of peace as in war, the undersigned have associated themselves together under the name and title of the ‘Woodward Guards,’ of Williamsport." The officers consisted of a captain, two first lieutenants, and one second lieutenant. The following were the charter members: N. Hall, Andrew Klett, William A. McCann, M. L. Dunning, James H. Rutter, F. R. Griffith, H. S. Brown, J. W. Hays, John Teed, John R. Laird, Isaac Allen, E. V. W. Higgins, George Strayer, T. M. Rathmel, W. V. Geise, George P. Carman, D. B. Else, Edward Wilkison, William Foulke, W. B. Vertz, Samuel Bubb, F. H. Butcher, E. Kilbourn, William Gheen, S. F. Green, H. Whittelsey, Jr., Alexander M. McFadden, William G. Elliot, D. S.

Campbell, B. R. Winner, Thomas Rothroch, Thomas S. Doebler, Charles Nash, Jr., Peter Wolf, Mac Hepburn, John Bubb, Z. H. Lambert, James Calvert, John McIntosh, E. L. Titus, Joseph W. Mussina, George H. Jones, George Bubb, Thomas Wilkison, Alfred Campbell, Emanuel Miller, John C. Dodge, Jr., W. Butler Beck, C. H. Butt, Michael Duval, D. W. Smith, Henry J. Lutcher, W. F. Johnson, Daniel Riley, Aaron H. Hinkle, Thomas Riley, H. C. Smith, Joseph Schlotter, Andrew Miller, Charles Cromwell, Charles G. Ephlin, E. L. Estabrooks, Melville F. Ephlin. The original officers were: Captain, N. Hall; first lieutenant, L. A. Klett; second lieutenant, W. A. McCann; first sergeant, M. L. Dunning.

Being composed of the best young men of the city, the organization became quite popular with the citizens. It was always subjected, to rigid discipline and took very creditable part in the State encampment and review in this city and in exhibition drills and parades at various points in our own State and in New York. A large number of those here named became prominent in the war and in civil station. W. Butler Beck entered West Point and served in the United States artillery, becoming colonel, and being now on the retired list. J. C. Dodge, who was captain of the company at the opening of the war, entered the service with the three months' troops and later became colonel of the gallant Fifty-second Pennsylvania Volunteers. J. W. Hays, who was second lieutenant when the company ceased to be a militia organization, took the same rank in the volunteer cavalry. James H. Rutter became vice-president of the New York Central railroad. George P. Carman became a captain of a company from Williamsport. Thomas S. Doebler became an officer in the United States Army. George H. Jones commanded a company of volunteers. Many who joined the Guards later also served creditably in the war for the Union a great majority of them becoming officers.

The company was provided with a twelve-pound Napoleon gun. This gun figured in a sad and memorable disaster which befell the company on January 4, 1861, by which one of its members lost his life and another was badly crippled permanently. When the news was received that Major Anderson and his gallant command had abandoned Fort Moultrie and had successfully entered Fort Sumter, the gunners of the Guards, commanded by W. Butler Beck, hastened to Market street bill, north of the city, to fire a salute in celebration of the event. After a few discharges, the piece was prematurely fired, the thumb stall of Thomas Wilkison, vent man, having slipped just at the charge was rammed home. As a result, Orderly Sergeant Edward Wilkison was fatally injured, and Private Joseph Bubb had his right hand and arm horribly mangled, leaving him crippled for life. Thus, long before the firing on Sumter, Lycoming county citizens had shed their blood in behalf of the Union.

When the crisis finally came, the enthusiasm of the people of the county broke forth in a flame. Monster war meetings were held, and the citizens demonstrated in the most unmistakable manner that they ware solid for the Union. Not only did they throughout the war that followed send their own troops to the front, but they furnished open handed hospitality to the troops from elsewhere that passed through their borders on their way to the field or on their return. The Nineteenth New York Regiment, the first to go through in April, 1861, was royally entertained. The noble women of Williamsport acquitted themselves, well in this respect and won the lasting gratitude of thousands of the country's defenders.

One of the first three companies that left the county for the field was the "Woodward Guards," although the organization as it went into service contained only a small representation of the original Guards. They took with them the, large and handsome flag which had been furnished them by the man whose name they bore, it being the first flag to leave the county for the war.

ELEVENTH REGIMENT—THREE MONTHS.

It is the pride of this county that the first companies she gave to the country formed a part of a regiment that not only served during the first term of three months but was reorganized under the same number for the war and achieved a noble and enviable record for gallant service and heavy losses.

The companies from this county were mustered in, April 24,1861, at Harrisburg, the regiment organizing with Phaeon Jarrett of Clinton county as colonel, the other officers being Richard Coulter, lieutenant colonel; William D. Earnest, major; F. Asbury Awl, adjutant; William H. Hay, quartermaster; William T. Babb, Surgeon, and H. B. Buehler, assistant surgeon.

In May the regiment was engaged in duty along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. On June 18th it joined the forces under General Patterson at Chambersburg, soon after moving to Downstown, and next to Williamsport, on the Potomac, a town the name of which was quite familiar to many of the regiment. Crossing into Virginia, the Eleventh became engaged on July 2d at Falling Waters with the enemy under the future "Stonewall" Jackson, which force they routed handsomely, compelling them to leave eight of their dead upon the field. Among the Union killed was one from the Eleventh Regiment, Amos Zoopinger member of Company H from Danville. The wounded of the regiment included Russell Levan and John De Hass, of Company G, from Lycoming county. In the killing of Amos Zoopinger, Pennsylvania gave her first life offering on the battlefield in the war for the Union. Rev. P. M. Coup, now a citizen of Williamsport, stood next to him and had his clothes stained with the blood of Zoopinger. Hon. H. C. Parsons, who was in a Williamsport company, also stood near to the brave Zoopinger when he fell. The regiment voluntarily remained beyond the time of its enlistment and was warmly commended in general orders.

The regimental band went from the county, and contained the following: Leader, Daniel Repasz; drum-major, W. N. Jones; musicians: Jacob K. Schuck, Thomas A. Rothrock, Talma F. Averill, George M. Repasz, Jerome Repasz, Samuel Mack Taylor, Milton B. Repasz, M. H. Caldwell, W. D. Hamilton, Charles W. Hamilton, and Albert Martin.

ELEVENTH REGIMENT—THREE YEARS.

At the close of its service of three months, the Eleventh became the first regiment to reorganize for three years. Richard Coulter was made colonel of the reorganized regiment, which was accepted July 25, 1861, for three years. The Governor in announcing that it would continue to be known as the "Eleventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers," wrote: "It is just to the officers and men that the regiment should have future opportunities of displaying the courage and gallantry of Falling Waters, which is now a part of the military history of the State, under their original designation. Henceforth known as "The Old Eleventh," the regiment served through the war to the surrender of Lee. Its losses were heavy. In its first serious engagement, at Thoroughfare Gap, it, lost two officers and sixteen men killed and three officers and thirty-seven enlisted men wounded. A few days later, at Second Bull Run, it lost fifty-two killed, sixty-seven wounded, and seventy-five prisoners, the majority of them wounded. The Lycoming company sustained its full share of the losses. At Antietam the regiment lost one officer and twenty-six men killed, four officers and eighty-five men wounded, and two prisoners. Its losses at Fredericksburg were one officer and fourteen men killed, five officers and sixty-one men wounded, and five prisoners. At Chancellorsville the regiment belonged to the rear guard in crossing the river after the battle. It was on the front line the first day at Gettysburg, losing during the battle fifteen killed, fifty-nine wounded, and sixty-four prisoners. It sustained proportionate loss in the other engagements. Captain Knox, first captain of the Lycoming company, died in 1862. His successor, Captain Sees, was discharged for disability. Overmyer, who became the next captain, was captured twice and wounded, and came out brevet lieutenant colonel. The last captain was also wounded. The loss among the men was correspondingly heavy, seventeen having been killed, many others died in prison, and a large number were wounded. One of these was Hugh Denworth, now of Williamsport, who sustained the loss of both eyes at Thoroughfare Gap.
