Neff, Johannes Jacob (I7139)
 
52 10. Samuel3 Hubbard (James 2)[3] was born in Mendelsham, Suffolk, ENG May 10, 1610. Samuel died 1689 in Newport, Newport Co, RI, at 79 years of age.
He married Tacy Cooper in Windsor, Hartford Co, CT, January 4, 1635/6. Tacy was born in England February 12, 1608/9. Tacy died circa 1697 in Newport, Newport Co, RI.
From the Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island and "1000 Years of Hubbard History," we learn:
He says of himself: "Such was the pleasure of Jehovah towards me, I was born of good parents, my mother brought me up in the fear of the Lord, in Mendelsham, in catechising me and hearing choice ministers, & c."
Oct 1633 - Salem, MA. He came this month from England.
1634 - He went to Watertown, MA, where he says he joined the church, "by giving account of my faith."
Oct 1635 - With a party of about one hundred, he started to march through the wilderness to the Connecticut Valley; winter coming on before they reached their destination they suffered much from exposure, and insufficient food. Samuel Hubbard remained at Windsor during the winter where he married to Tacy Cooper by Mr. Ludlow. Tacy Cooper had come to Dorchester, MA, 9 Jun 1634, and was one of the party.
In 1636, shortly after their marriage, they went to Wethersfield, CT. 10 May 1639 - Springfield, MA. He moved here at this date, in search of peace, and a church was soon gathered; he says: "I gave acct. of my faith" and that there were "five men in all...my wife soon after added."
To escape persecution under the harsh laws of Massachusetts they agin moved 10 May 1647 to Fairfield, CT. His stay here was short: "God having enlightened both, but mostly my wife, into his holy ordinances of baptizing only of visible believers, and being very zealous for it, she was mostly struck at and answered two terms publicly, where I was also said to be as bad as she, and sore threatened imprisonment to Hartford jail, if not to renounce it or to remove; that Scripture came into our mouths, if they persecute you in one place, flee to another; and so we did 2 day of October, 1648, we went for Rhode Island, and arrived there 12 day. I and my wife upon manifestation of our faith were baptized by brother John Clarke, 3 day Nov 1648."
7 Aug 1651 - He was sent by the church to visit the brethren in prison at Boston, viz: John Clarke, Obadiah Holmes and John Crandall.
Oct 1652 - "I and my wife had hands laid on us by brother Joseph Torrey."
He was admitted Freeman of Newport, RI in 1655.
1 Oct 1657 - "Brother Obadiah Holmes and I went to the Dutch and Gravesend and to Jamaica and to Flushing and to Hamsted and to Cow Bay." They came home 15 Nov 1657.
In 1664 he was chosen to be General Solicitor, in case of inability of Lawrence Turner.
He writes: "My wife took up the keeping of the Lord's holy Seventh Day Sabbath. the 10th day March, 1665. I took it up 1 day April 1665; our daughter Ruth, 25 Oct 1666; Rachel, 15 Jan 1666; Bethiah, Feb 1666; our son Joseph Clarke, 23 Feb 1666."
7 Apr 1668 - "I went to Boston to public dispute with those baptised there."
Jul 1668 - He wrote his cousin, John Smith, of London, from Boston, where he had been to a disputation: "Through God's great mercy, the Lord have given me in this wilderness, a good, diligent, careful, painful and very loving wife; we, through mercy, live comfortably, praised be God, as co- heirs together of one mind in the Lord, traveling through this wilderness to our heavenly Sion, knowing we are pilgrims as our fathers were, and good portion being content therewith. A good house, as with us judged, 25 acres of ground fenced, and four cows which give, one young heifer and three calves, and a very good mare, a trade, a carpenter, a health to follow it, and my wife very diligent and painful, praised be God. This is my joy and crown, in humility I speak of it, for God's Glory, I trust all, both sons in law and daughters are in visible order in general; but in especial manner my son Clarke and my three daughters, with my wife and about 14 walk in the observation of God's holy sanctified 7 day Sabbath, with much comfort and liberty, for so we and all ever had and yet have in this Colony."
16 Dec 1671 - He wrote to his children at Westerly, about the differences between those favoring the seventh day observance and the rest of the church. Several spoke on both sides. Mr. Hubbard gave his views. Brother Torrey said they required not my faith. Other discussion followed: "They replied fiercely, it was a tumult. J. Torrey stopped them at last."
With his wife, one daughter, and four other persons he formed the first Seventh Day Baptist Church in America. He writes: "We entered into a church covenant the 23rd day of December, 1671, viz: William Hiscox, Stephen Mumford, Samuel Hubbard, Roger Baxter, sister Hubbard, sister Mumford, Rachel Langworthy," &c. Their church was not formed without a depature by their former associates from that spirit of toleration and "soul liberty" which Roger Williams claimed; for the members who united on Dec. 23, had been excommunicated Dec. 7, when the Rev. Obidiah Holmes preached against their doctrine of Seventh Day observance, and even declared "they had left Christ, and gone after Moses." There is extant a letter from Roger Williams to Samuel Hubbard, in which he argues the position taken by the latter, and cites various texts against his views; but it is written in a very different spirit from that shown by the Newport church, and recognizes the conscientious motives which actuated Hubbard. "Bro' Hiscox and I send this Church to N. London and Westerly, 7 day Mar 1675," and again March, 1677/8 and 1686.
1675 - He says: "I have a testament of my grandfather Cocke's, printed 1549, which he hid in his bedstraw, lest it be found and burned, in Queen Mary's days."
1 Nov 1675 - He wrote Mr. Henry Reeves, at Jamaica; "Very sudden and strange changes these times afford in this, our age, everywhere, as I hear and now see in N.E. God's hand seems to be stretched out against N. England, by wars by the natives, and many Englishmen fall at present." "This island doth look to ourselves as yet, by mercy not one slain, blessed be God." "My wife and 3 daughters, who are all here by reason of the Indian war, with their 15 children, desire to remember their christian love to you."
Nov 1676, he writes: "In the midst of these troubles of the war [King Philip's] Lieut. Joseph Torrey, Elder of Mr. Clarke's Church, having one daughter living at Squamicut and his wife being there, he said unto me `Come, let us send a boat to Squamicut, my all is there, and part of yours.' We sent a boat, and his wife, his daughter and son in law and all their children and my two daughters, and their children [one had eight, the other three, with an apprentice boy] all came. ...My son Clarke came afterwards before winter, and my other daughter's husband in the spring, and they have all been at my house to this day."
Feb 26, 1676, he writes a nephew at Rye: "I bless my God, my condition is comfortable, and I am very well contented with knowing it is more to give than to receive. ...My wife and daughter Langworthy desired me to write about flax, yet if you bring some 20 pound if at a pound of flax for a pound of wool, it's so at Stonington; if bring Indian Corn it's now 4 pound of wool a bushel and I think it wiil be more."
Sep 2, 1677, he writes: "Truely Children for the present I am not altogether beset with thoughts (as its judged from Satan) I have been in very sore exercise, ever since br. Hiscox came to ye and a week before, occasioned by a sudden sentence of the Ch. declaring yet I have not the gift of prophesying publickly in the church tho' hereto fore judged by those brethren of the Old Ch. Yet by most here and encouraged in it, was so sorely set on, that I was horribly tempted to deny all, yet kept; but sorely harried. I pray be silent in this manner for the present."
29 Jun 1678 - He wrote Dr. Stennett, of London: "From my own house in Mayford, in Newport," &c. "Last winter the Lord visited me with a very sore cough as long as strength, and breath did last, oft 5 times together only a little respite; my dear wife oft took her farewell of me, my dear brethren watched me in their terms. Major Cranston [his physician] I sent for - he judged none help or hope for sure, but for present refreshment he gave me a small vial of spirits, which I took, and had some sleep, but my cough rather increased." He was visited by the church which drew into the other room agreeing to seek God's face for me poor one. "The next day I would have gone to town to give public praise, but was advised not to go," &c. "Our Governor died the 19th day of June, 1678, buried 20th day, all this island was invited, many others were there, judged near a thousand people, our brother Hiscox spake there excellently," &c.
1680 - Taxed 6s. 2d.
In 1683, Samuel Hubbard went by water to visit friends at Rye, returning by Fairfield, Milford, New Haven, Guilford, Lyme, New London, and Westerly, arriving home after six weeks absence, Sept 25. In a letter dated May 23, 1684, he says: "What marvelous rich grace...hath made known his holy sabbath to such poor worms: first to my wife, I next, the first settlers or planters in N.E. (one brother and one sister came over with the practice of it)."
19 Dec 1686 - He wrote to John Thronton, of Providence: "My old brother who was before me, you and brother Joseph Clarke (only alive) in that ordinance of baptism, I next and my wife in New England, although we stept before you in other ordinances: Oh! let us strive still to be first in the things of God," &c. ..."My wife and I counted up this year 1686: My wife a creature 78 years, a convert 62 years, married 50 years and independent and joined to a church 52 years, a baptist 38 years, a Sabbath Keeper 21 years. I a creature of 76 years, a convert 60 years and independent and joined to a church 52 years, a baptist 38 years, a Sabbath Keeper 21 years. We are by rich grace bornup and adorned with rich mercies above many, as to have all my three daughters in the same faith and order, and 2 of their husbands and 2 of my grandaughters and their husbands also with us. O praise the Lord for his goodness endures forever! Not to us, not to us poor creatures. These may be my last lines unto you, farewell."
7 May 1688 - He wrote Richard Brooks, of Boston: "The mesles is not gone here. My daughter Rachel have them and some of her family." "
From "1000 Years of Hubbard History," we learn:
"Samuel Hubbard, youngest son of James and Naomi (Cocke) Hubbard, was born in Menddelsham (a market town about eighty miles northeast of London), Suffolk County, in 1610. He arrived in Salem Mass., in October, 1633, and probably came in the ship James, Grant, master, which left Gravesend, England late in August, 1633, and arrived in Massachusetts Bay October 10, 1633."
"1000 Years of Hubbard History," says this about Samuel Hubbard's diary:
"Copious notes were made from this diary by Dr, Isaac Backus, a Baptist historian of about 1777. These notes are now possessed by Ray Greene Huling, of New Bedford, Mass., though the original diary and other valuable manuscripts of Samuel Hubbard disappeared about 1852. There are living descendants of this Samuel Hubbard through Bethiah Hubbard and Joseph Clarke of various names, but none of the name of Hubbard."
"Tacy Cooper who was born in England in 1608 and came to Dorchester, Mass., June 9, 1634, and to Dorchester (Windsor), Ct., in 1635. She had brothers Robert, of Yarmouth, Norfolk, and John of London, Eng. Robert returned to England from America in 1644."
In May 1647, "Samuel was now with his wife imbibing freely and preaching ardently the doctrines of Anabaptism." Upon arrival in Rhode Island, 12 Oct 1648, "I and my wife upon manifestation of our faith were baptised by brother Joseph Clarke, 3 day of November, 1648." "He was a zealous Baptist and public religious disputant. For twenty three years he belonged to the First Baptist Church of Newport."
Samuel Hubbard and Tacy Cooper had the following children:

3) In 1771, William Grubb Jr (a great grandson of John through John Grubb Jr) settled in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. He married Susanna (probably Kerlin) and had seven children including three sons – Curtis, Adam and John. They lived in Berkeley County in 1788 and 1793 and in Jefferson County by 1800. Both Curtis and Adam appear in the 1810 Berkeley County census. Both had a son. I suspect that one of them was the father of the John Grubb born about 1799 who ultimately settled as a schoolteacher in Loudoun County. John was the father of the James W. Grubb who commanded company B of the Union army’s Loudoun Rangers. James does not fit into the known genealogy of the family’s Loudoun branch (descendants of William and Rachael Grubb -number 2 above - who were mostly confederates closely associated with the 35th Virginia)

Jesse Drake, farmer and stock-raiser, Onarga, was born in Pike County, Ohio, January 29, 1824, and when about fourteen years old, with his parents, he removed to Vermilion County, Indiana, and engaged in farming. His educational advantages were very poor, the county at the time being thinly settled, and school kept only on the old subscription principle. January 24, 1847, he married Miss Hannah Riner, who is a native of Virginia, and was born December 16, 1828. Her father, Mr. Daniel Riner, was born in old Virginia, October 19, 1796. He came to this county in 1850, and is still living on the farm he entered. Mr. Drake came to this county in April, 1850. The county at that time was new and sparsely settled. His nearest market was then Chicago, from where he hauled the lumber to finish building his first home in Onarga township. The land that was then inhabited only by deer and other wild animals is now covered with fields of golden grain; railroads pass through the county in every direction, and towns have grown along their lines. He then worked out by the day to pay for his first 40 acres of land. He now owns 210 acres of well improved land in Secs 33 and 34, T, 26 R. 14. He has six children living: Martha E., Daniel J; Mary L; Sarah E., Frank M., and Emma E. He is strictly temperate and a strong republican.

An Old Settler Gone

Jesse Drake was born in Pike County, Ohio, January 29, 1824, and died at his home in Burr Oak, Tuesday night, June 9, 1908; aged 84 years, 4 months, and 11 days.

When about 14 years of age, he removed with his parents to Vermillion County, Indiana. On January 24, 1847, he was married to Miss Hannah Reiner, who passed on to the better land in 1899. To this union seven children were born, six of whom, two sons and four daughters, are still living. In 1850 he moved to Iroquois County, Illinois, and live there until 1883, when he came to Burr Oak where he has since lived.

Uncle Jesse, as he was familiarly called, was an honorable and upright man and a model citizen and was honored and respected by the community and had the filial love and devotion of his children. The surviving children are D.J. and F.M. Drake of Topeka, Mrs. B.F.Duncan of Mankato, and Mesdames Mary Porter, Sarah Coyner, and Emma Coyner of this place. There are eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

The funeral was held last Friday afternoon. The two sons and four of his grandsons, E.E. Duncan, Roy Coyner, Ross Porter, and Verne Coyner, acted as pallbearers. Rev. J. M. Willis conducted the services, assisted by Rev. W.A. VanGundy. The basis of the remarks was the scripture in I Cor. 15.35 to 38. A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the remains to their resting place in the Burr Oak Cemetery.

William Rust Parsons, first son of James and Nancy Rust Parsons, was born in Hardy County, Virginia. When he was two years of age, his parents migrated to western Virginia. His boyhood days were spent on the plantation. He received his education from the private schools and was a man of sound scholarship and noted for his devotion to books. He could hold a conversation with the best on the general topics of the day. He had a keen knowledge of men and seemed to have learned the value of self-control. When a person did him an injury, he guarded his words and siad as little as possible. He kept his dignity and ignored them, which was a greater reprimand than strong language. By his gracious, kindly manner he made an impression which won great respect from everyone.

In politics he was a Democrat....

During the Civil War he was a heavy loser. His assessment by Kellok was $800. The order read "You are hereby notified that upon an assessment, you are assessed $800 to make good the losses of Union men. If you fail to pay in three days, your property will all be confiscated, your house burned and yourself shot. By order of Brigadier General Milroy; Captain Kellok, Commanding 123rd Ohio."

65 1850 United States Federal Census. Orange County, Indiana, Greenfield Township. Page 60. Hannah Lomax, age 40, IN is also living with the Apple family in 1850.

"In the year 1839, John Apple and his wife the former Mary Lowman, loaded their belongings into covered wagons, with their six sons, aged 2-13, John's father, Thomas Apple, and two brothers, they set out for Orange County, Indiana. That county was settled mostly by people from Orange County, North Carolina, after which the new Indiana county was named.

After a journey of several weeks over roads that consisted mostly of Indian trails that had been widened to make room for wagon tracks, and after crossing the Cumberland Mountains and the Ohio River, the Apple family arrived in southern Indiana, where, after acquiring lands and establishing homes in Orange County, they built a log church which came to be known as Apple's Chapel. This church still stands [with a newer building], services being held regularly each Sunday."

Arnold Grimes, 6607 Sunset Avenue, LaGrange, Illinois.

I have information on John W Apple. He was born to Thomas Apple and Jane Parks in Guilford Co, NC on Nov. 15, 1802 and died Dec. 10, 1886 in Orange Co, IN. The family migrated to Orange Co from NC in 1839. His parents and 5 of his brothers made this move. They settled in Greenfield Township and after buying land, they built the log church that came to be known as Apple's Chapel. He married Mary Loman(?) on April 14, 1824. Children: Joshua, Thomas, Adam Riley, Alfred, William Carr, Solomon, Martha, George Teaford, and John Leonard.

Alexander Starry, farmer, P.O. Brownville. Mr Starry is a native of Ohio, who spent his early life in Indiana. In 1852 he settled in Jasper County, Iowa, living in Jasper and Hamilton Counties until 1865, when he settled on his present 210 acre farm, then buying 170 acres of D. Plasters. Mr. Starry has a fine orchard of 700 apples and 200 peach trees, and is a progressive and successful farmer, who has met with but one misfortune of consequence, that being the total loss of his house and its contents by fire in 1870. The loss was about $2,500, not a dollar of insurance covering it. For a number of years the family lived in a granary, until more prosperous times enabled them to build the substantial two story frame house in which they now reside. Mrs. Starry was Birthena Woodward and there are six children---Melissa, Walter, Addie, Harvey, Buell, and Nettie.

82 1886. John HARNDEL (943) died on 6 Feb 1687. IMMIGRANT - "John Harndel, was a juryman at Newport RI in 1673, according to Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island which goes on to give the following item: '1678 June 12 A very great hurt having been done to a small child by fast riding; it was enacted by the Assembly that any person presuming to ride a horse at a gallop, &c., in any street between the house that lately John Harndel lived in, and the house where Thomas Clifton lives, shall for the offence pay 5s. fine.' This is certainly one of the first laws against speeding in New England! John Harndel's will, dated 9 Feb 1685 and proved 22 Apr 1698, says, 'To daughter Rebecca, wife of Hugh Mosher, of Portsmouth, a good ewe sheep.' Austin gives his date of death as 6 Feb 1687. It seems a long time between that and the probate." (Bonnie Hubbard)

She leaves to mourn their loss one son, Edward, ten grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, four brothers, Otha H., Jason, John L., of this county, and William C. Miller of Oakland City.

The long life of this lady was one of Christian charity, motherly love, loyal friendship, neighborly kindness, and it its close her departure was mourned by all who knew her.

The funeral services were held at the family residence at 10 o'clock A.M. conducted by Rev. Silas Weeks of Hosmer, assisted by Rev. Grover C. Krieg of Oatsville, with burial at the McGillum cemetery--the attendance being very large.

He died After 1679 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Rougham, Suffolk, England and Newport, Newport, Rhode Island.

Carew Clarke emigrated to Rhode Island long after his brothers, and after his wife's death in 1658. He was living in Newport by 20 April 1676, when he was granted a life's maintenance in the will of his brother, Dr. John Clarke. On 13 June 1679, Carew Clarke of Newport released his right to 18 acres of land in Newport that Edward Larkin had purchased of "my brother John Clarke of Newport...phisitian deceased" years before, but currently occupied by Thomas Peckham, to Thomas Ward, assignee of Edward Larkin.

He married DOROTHY ------. She died 13 June 1658 in Rougham, Suffolk, England, and was buried 15 June 1658 in Rougham, Suffolk, England. They had no known children.

91 21. THOMAS4 CLARKE (Thomas3, John2, John1). He was baptized 31 March 1605 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England. He died 2 December 1674 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Portsmouth and Newport, Newport, Rhode Island.

Thomas Clarke probably came to Boston with his brother, Dr. John Clarke, in 1637. He was among the original signers of the agreement, probably made in Boston, to establish a new colony (Portsmouth, Rhode Island) on 7 March 1638, but his name was later crossed off. He was among the first group of men admitted as inhabitants of the island of Aquidneck (at Pocasset), on 20 May 1638. However, he removed with his brothers to Newport the next year, and was admitted an inhabitant and freeman of that town on 17 December 1639. His name appears on a list of freemen present at the General Court of Elections held at Newport on 12 March 1640, and at Portsmouth on 16 March 1641. Thomas Clark of Newport had his lands in Newport recorded, pursuant to an order from the General Court on 29 January 1639/40, sometime between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. His lands consisted of 48.5 acres in several parcels, including 31 acres north of John Peckham's land and ten acres, both east of the Stony River, a 3 acre house lot, several meadows (one next to his brother, Joseph), and half an acre of swamp adjoining the "feeld of Mr John Clarks next [to] the Towne."

He is said to have been among the original members of the First Baptist Church at Newport, in 1644, and was a member in full communion in 1648. A highway was laid out near his land and that of John and Joseph Clarke and recorded 15 February 1654. He appears as a freeman of Newport in a list of freemen of the Colony made in 1655. On March 10, 1656/7, Thomas Clarke was granted a 111th share of the purchase of Conanicut and Dutch Islands (this was apparently the land he granted to his nephew, William Clarke, in his will). On 3 December 1663, he and his wife, Jane, sold land and a house at Portsmouth to John Anthony. Thomas Clarke served as agent for his brother, John, while the latter was in England, as is noted in the testimony of William Vaughan, dated 4 October 1671, of an exchange of lands between Richard Tew and John Clarke in 1650/1.

Thomas Clarke Senior of Newport left a will, dated 28 July 1674, proved 18 December 1674, in which he names his brother, Joseph Clarke, the latter's wife, Margaret, and the children of Joseph, as his heirs. He left his lands "upon this Island" to his brother Joseph Clarke, his lands on Conanicut Island (i.e. Jamestown) to his cousin (i.e. nephew) William Clarke, son of Joseph, his household belongings to his brother Joseph Clarke's wife, Margaret, and the stock upon his farm "which William Clarke injoys when his time is out" to the children of Joseph Clarke (except William). He also states that
"there is due unto me from my brother John Clarke for my service and tendance when he was gon for England twelve years lookeinge to and provideinge for my brother John Clarkes stock and wintringe of them upon my Owne Lands in which time was reared twenty horse kinde and about nine score sheepe, and one hundred acres of Land purchased at Quonnonoqutt, a quarter share of Land at Miscomocutt and tenn acres or more at Aplegates Neck upon this Island, for which I demand and cannot Judge but that I deserve Twenty pounds a yeare..."
Whatever remained of his estate he ordered to be equally divided among the children of Joseph Clarke. He made Obadiah Holmes and John Salman his executors, and Walter Cunigrave, James Rogers, and George Hammond witnessed the will. An addendum to the will, dated 19 December 1674, gives the names of the children of Joseph Clarke.

Mary Clarke probably came to the Colonies at the same time as her brothers, Thomas, John and Joseph, and probably married John Peckham after arriving in Rhode Island as she was apparently granted land by the town of Newport, possibly before her marriage. Mary Clark of Nuport had her land in Newport recorded immediately after that of John Peckham, sometime between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. Her lands consisted of 40 acres "lying upon the millbrook alias hambrook." Peckham's land also lay near the Hambrook mill. It seems unlikely that the town would grant both individuals land if they were already married. Two deeds, one from Joshua Coggeshall to Walter Cunigrave dated 30 May 1651, and one from Walter Cunigrave to John Green dated 6 June 1651, describe lands in Newport adjoining "land granted by the Town of Newport unto Mary Clarke now deceased some time the wife of John Peckham," the first of which deeds was witnessed by John and Elizabeth Clarke, probably the brother of Mary Clarke and his wife.

9TH CAVALRY
(Three Years)
Ninth Cavalry.-Cols., Albert G. Brackett, Joseph W.
Harper; Lieut.-Cols., Solomon A. Paddock, Hiram F. Sickles, Hector J. Humphrey, Henry B. Burgh, Joseph W. Harper, Anthony R. Mock; Majs., Rosell M. Hough, Hiram F. Sickles, Hector J.

This regiment was organized at Camp Douglas, near Chicago, in the autumn of 1861, and was fully mustered into the U. S. service by Nov. 30, for a term of three years. On Feb. 16, 1862, it started from Chicago and proceeded by rail to Benton barracks, near St. Louis, Mo., and thence to Pilot Knob. On May 28, five companies had a skirmish with the Confederates at Cache River bridge, Ark., routing them with considerable loss. Three other companies on the same day had a skirmish on the Augusta road, in which 2
Confederate soldiers were captured 1 of whom was severely
wounded. In June, a party of Confederates attempted to
capture a valuable train near the Waddell farm, 5 miles from Jacksonport, but were utterly defeated and driven off by two companies of Missouri cavalry and four companies of the 9th, with a loss of 28 killed, wounded and missing. The regiment's loss was 13 wounded and missing. At the fight at LaGrange, Ark., two companies of the regiment, with soldiers of other regiments and 2 howitzers, behaved very gallantly against a considerable force of the enemy, who lost over 50 men, while the Federal loss was inconsiderable. During the night of Oct. 11, a part of the regiment captured a Confederate picket of 12 men near Helena. The regiment was engaged with the enemy at
Coldwater, Miss., in July, 1863, at Grenada in August, and
then moved to LaGrange, Tenn. It made an attack upon the
enemy at Salem, Miss., in October and drove him from his
position. It met the enemy at Wyatt five days later where the Confederates fell back after fighting all day and retreated during the night. In November, it was again engaged with the enemy at Saulsbury, Tenn. and in December, the division was engaged at Moscow. In Jan., 1864, the regiment was in the 2nd brigade, Grierson's division, 16th corps, Army of the Tennessee, and at Collierville a detachment had a brisk skirmish with a portion of Forrest's command, which had made an attack upon the Memphis & Charleston railroad, several of
the enemy being killed and wounded. On March 16, the regiment was mustered as a veteran organization and the following day marched to Memphis, whence the men returned to Illinois on the usual furlough granted to veterans. Returning to the field the regiment formed a portion of the rear-guard on the retreat from Guntown, Miss., losing 5 killed, 23 wounded and 12 captured out of 160 men. In a severe cavalry fight at Old Town creek in July, the regiment acquitted itself with credit and afterwards returned to Memphis. In August, it marched by the way of Holly Springs to Abbeville, Miss., where it had a
skirmish with the enemy, and on the 11th had another brush at Oxford. A severe fight took place at Hurricane creek, the regiment taking an honorable share, losing 4 killed and several wounded. The division to which the regiment was attached did some hard fighting at Shoal creek, Ala., in November. For several days after this the regiment skirmished with the enemy's advance and was hotly engaged at Campbellville, Tenn. It took part in the fierce battle at Franklin and did what was in its power toward crippling the Confederate army under Gen. Hood. At the great battle of Nashville it belonged to the 2nd brigade, 5th division,
cavalry corps, and sustained its well earned reputation for valor. It participated in a well directed charge upon a redoubt, which was carried, and at the same time captured 4 pieces of artillery and 15O prisoners, sharing in the final rout of the enemy. Soon the army of Gen. Hood was in full retreat and the regiment participated in the chase which resulted in its destruction, skirmishing with portions of it at Brentwood, on the Franklin pike, near Franklin t Rutherford creek and Ross' farm. The regiment was mustered out at Selma, Ala., Oct. 31, 1865, and ordered to Springfield, Ill., where the men received final payment and discharge.
