COMPANY "B."
This Company was originally recruited in the towns of Pomfret, Stockton,
Charlotte and north half of Gerry. On the 7th of August, Captain Chaddock
started for Jamestown with 50 recruits from Pomfret, the other towns contributing
their full quota, and making the number 110. It was mustered as Co. B,
though its claim to the second place was contested by Captain Scott, of
Company C. At the time of the first field return, October 31, 1862, it
reported an aggregate of 100 officers and men. Of this number 61 were discharged
with the Regiment, 24 had died of disease, 7 by the casualties of battle.
The Company received during its history 36 recruits. Captain Chaddock,
whose reputation as an officer was high, received a commission as Major
after the death of Lieut. Col. Carpenter, and Lieutenant Colonel after
the death of Col. Drake; but unfortunately he was disabled by his horse
falling, on the march to Bermuda Hundred, May 27, '64, and though he struggled
hard to continue with the Regiment, he was obliged to yield to disease,
and after a long and painful illness was honorably discharged the service.

COMPANY "C."
This Company was originally recruited by Capt. N.S. Scott, in the towns
of Hanover, Villenova, Cherry Creek and Arkwright. Capt. Scott commenced
his canvass for the Company July 23. The 4th of August the Company was
full, and on the 12th, he went with them to Jamestown, having 108 men.
A lawyer by profession, Capt. Scott left a lucrative practice in Forestville
to accept his position in the Regiment. His powers of endurance were overtaxed
on
severe march up and down the Peninsula of Virginia in July, '63, and
seeds of disease sown, which began to develop soon after the Regiment returned
to the defenses of Portsmouth. He was sent to the County on recruiting
service July 24th, and was taken down with serious illness, from which
he did not recover for more than a year. Meanwhile, in February, '64, he
returned to the Regiment in the Department of the South, hoping in that
mild climate his system might regain its healthy tone. His hopes were disappointed1
and with regret he was compelled to resign his position and retire from
the service, May 27, '64. The Company aggregate, October 31, 1862, was
99, one month before, 111, several having been transferred to other Companies.
The 1st Lieutenant of this Company, Gurdon L. Pierce, was one of the most
promising young officers in the Regiment. Col. Drake, on assuming command
of Brigade, took him upon his Staff as Acting Assistant Adjutant General.
At the battle of Cold Harbor, he was last seen in advance of the line,
beckoning on the men who were storming the enemy's works. When and how
he fell is not known. A Captain of the 48th N.Y.V. reports finding his
body at night and burying it, The 1st Sergeant of this Company, George
Watson, was the first man of the Regiment killed in battle. He was, before
enlisting, a student in Hamilton College, of fine abilities and great personal
worth. The 2d Lieutenant was constantly on duty through three years of
service, and passing through the grades of promotion, returned as Captain
of Company D. 18 men of this Company died of disease, 17 by casualties
of battle, 41 were discharged with the Regiment, 60 recruits received at
various times.

COMPANY "D."
This company was recruited by Captain E.A. Curtis and Lieutenants Corbett
and Thayer, in the towns of Harmony, Mina, French Creek, Clymer, Busti
and Kiantone. Lieutenants Corbett and Thayer recruited in French Creek
and Mina. Captain Curtis himself recruited over one hundred men. The first
name on the list was entered July 13, but the Company was mostly raised
between the 26th July and 9th August. On the 16th August it was mustered
into the service as part of the Regiment, receiving the fourth letter.
On leaving Ashville, then the residence of Captain Curtis, for Jamestown,
the Company was provided by the citizens with a public dinner on the grounds
of A.A. Atherly, Esq., an occasion which will ever be remembered with the
liveliest feelings of pleasure by the members of the Company.
Lieutenant Thayer was with the Company but a few weeks, having been
detailed to the Signal Corps, to which he was afterwards transferred -
a position he filled with credit to himself and acceptance to the Government.
Captain Curtis, after a faithful service of nearly two years, while bravely
leading his men in the assault at Cold Harbor, was hit by a bulletin the
shoulder, inflicting an ugly wound, and so
disabling him for future service
that with reluctance he threw up his commission and was honorably discharged
September 13, '64.
Lieutenant Corbett was wounded through the thigh in the same battle.
He received early in the Fall a commission as Captain, but his wound being
painful, having never thoroughly healed, he was compelled to tender his
resignation and leave the service.
The Company originally numbered 103. The field report for October,
1862, shows an aggregate of 99. 12 died of disease during their connection
with the Regiment, and 18 by the casualties of battle. 43 recruits were
received during service; 70 of the original members are supposed to survive.

COMPANY "E."
This Company was recruited in the towns of Westfield, Ripley, Chautauqua, and Ellery. Captain Frank Waters, merchant and manufacturer, Westfield, recruited in that town and Ripley; Lieutenants Myrick and Randall in the other towns. At the organization of the Regiment Captain Waters resigned to accept commission as R.Q.M. See Field and Staff. The command of the Company now devolved on Lieutenant Myrick, who resigned in December, 1862, on account of the exigencies of his personal business. Early in January, 1863, Sergeant John Q.A. Hollister received a commission as Captain, Sergeants Sixby and Kimberly having been commissioned as Lieutenants. These officers all received honorable wounds during their service. Captain Hollister, while acting Major at the storming of Fort Fisher, was wounded in the arm. Lieutenant Sixby had his face badly shattered in the attempt to stay the panic at Cemetery Hill, Petersburg, and Lieutenant Kimberly lost his left foot while Acting Adjutant at the assault upon Fort Gilmer, September 29, 1864. These two officers were so disabled as not to return to the Regiment. The Company was principally recruited between the 1st and 13th of August. 1862. It originally numbered 108 officers and men. The Field Report for October, 1862, gives an aggregate of 99. It received 51 recruits. 25 died of disease and 14 by the casualties of war. 62 of the original members still survive.

COMPANY "G."
This Company was recruited by Captain Stevens, Lieutenants Barber and,
Fox, and Sergeant C.W. Hawley, in the towns of Dunkirk, Portland and Sheridan.
Lieut. Barber received authority to recruit the 21st July, 1862, and was
commissioned 1st Lieutenant from that date. The first man enlisted July
23d, and the Company was full September 11th. It was mustered in squads
into the service from 15th to 30th August. Capt. Stevens enlisted 29 men,
Lieutenants Barber and Fox 50. Several men were transferred to this Company
from other Companies in the Regiment. 63 men went to Jamestown from Dunkirk
the 14th August. Capt. Stevens had seen some previous service as 1st Lieutenant
49th N.Y.V. He was taken sick at Folly Island, S.C., in the fall of 1863,
and was sent North on sick leave. His health not improving, he resigned
and was honorably discharged in the Spring of 1864. Afterwards regaining
his health, he accepted a commission in Hancock's Corps of Veteran Volunteers.
Lieut. Fox was also obliged to resign at Folly Island on account sickness.
Lieut. Barber was commissioned Captain May 18, 1864. The Company was, however,

by reason of sickness, was obliged to resign. The Company originally numbered
89 officers and men. The field report of October, 1862, shows an aggregate
of 94. 16 died of disease, 12 by casualties of battle, 55 recruits were

Fisher. p>COMPANY "H."
Company H was principally recruited by J.G. Palmiter, who, at a public
meeting held in the Town of Chautauqua, came forward and volunteered himself,
and thereby induced a large number to volunteer with him; at three subsequent
meetings the Company was nearly filled, and Mr. Palmiter was appointed
Captain. Edgar F. Smith and Loren T. Damon recruited a portion of the Company.
The first man was enrolled August 16, and the Company complete August 28,
1862, at which date it was mustered into the service. Lieutenants Damon
and Smith were honorably discharged the service in the winter of 1862-3.
The Company originally numbered 103 officers and men. On the field report
for October, 1862, 101. 14 died of disease, and 19 by casualties of battle.
67 of the original number are supposed to be living. 54 recruits were received
at various times.
Captain Palmiter died at Jamestown, N.Y., August 1st, 1864, aged 54
years. He was born in Oneida Co., but his youth was principally spent in
Herkimer Co., where he attended Fairfield Academy. His residence in this
County dates from the year 1835. He was a man of clear, vigorous perceptions,
good judgment, and highly respected for his moral worth. At an age when
he might reasonably have considered himself exempt from the terrible exertions
and sufferings which the active prosecution of war inevitably entails,
he voluntarily gave himself to the service of his country, and having no
experience whatever in the duties which devolved upon him as the leader
of a company of his fellow countrymen, he set himself to learn them with
all the ardor of youth, and in the trying position in which he was placed,
he was as a father and friend as much as a commanding officer to the noble
young men under his charge.
Through nearly two years of this rude, unnatural life, he was faithful
in every situation, enduring manfully and with the uniform cheerfulness
of youth the exposures, the toils, the sufferings, the sickness incident
to our condition. He often endured much of physical suffering by reason
of sickness while in camp, but amid it all, he had a smile for all his
friends who called to see him, and was ever more inclined to talk about
other matters
than his own physical infirmities. His character was high in tone and
pure in principles. Every one who made his acquaintance respected him.
After the battle of Cold Harbor, in which he was severely wounded through
the arm, he was sent to Washington and there granted a furlough to his
home. It was hoped that his wound would soon heal and he be restored to
the service; but the shock to his nervous system was such that he did not
rally, and after a painful illness he gradually sunk and passed away to
his rest, with the bright hopes of an everlasting life cheering and sustaining
him. He leaves a wife and one son to mourn his departure.
Lieutenant George W. Edmonds was the son of William and Lucy Edmonds,
of Chautauqua. A young man, of vigorous, energetic character, who had improved
well the limited advantages of his youth, he went to New York City as a
clerk in 1860, and after a residence there of somewhat more than two years
returned to the County in the summer of 1862, to enlist in the Regiment
then forming. He was made 1st Sergeant at the organization of this Company,
and after the resignation of Lieutenant Smith received promotion as 2d
Lieutenant, and in the spring of 1864 as 1st Lieutenant. He was a cool,
fearless officer, often detailed to duties that required the highest courage
and discretion. His moral and religious character shone conspicuous amid
the temptations of camp life, and he has left a memory behind him which
will be ever fragrant to all his associates. While directing the portion
of the line of skirmishers under his charge on the 27th October, near Darbytown
Road, in the midst of a galling fire pressing it slowly up toward the enemy's
works, he was shot through the head and killed instantly. His remains were
secured and forwarded home for interment.
