The First West Virginia Infantry Courtesy of Fort Vance Historical Society The First West Virginia Infantry The First West Virginia Infantry Volume 55 (1996), pp. 41-94 Explanation of Roster List Company ACompany BCompany CCompany DCompany E Company FCompany GCompany HCompany ICompany K The following brief regimental history of the First West Virginia Infantry is reprinted from the Annual Report of the Adjutant General of the State of West Virginia for the Year Ending December 31, 1864. MEMORANDA:--The First Regiment West Virginia Infantry Volunteers was organized at Wheeling in May, 1861, from volunteer companies of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio and Marshall counties, which had been formed in April 1861 to resist aggressions from that portion of Virginia which had seceded from the Union; and under the call of the President for 75,000 men, it was mustered into the service of the United States for the period of three months, under command of Col. B. F. Kelley. On the---- day of May, 1861, it left Camp Carlile, at Wheeling, and proceeded to a bridge near Mannington, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which had been destroyed by the rebels. After remaining there two days it marched to Grafton, Taylor County, Va., where a body of State militia had been collected, under command of the rebel Col. Porterfield. Upon the approach of the Union force, Col. Porterfield retired to Phillippi, Barbour County, where, on the morning of the ---- of .June, he was attacked and completely routed by Col. Kelley•s command. During the action Col. Kelley was seriously wounded in the breast. During the remainder of their three months service the regiment was separated. A detachment of five (5) companies served with General McClellan in the Rich Mountain campaign--another detachment was with Col. Tyler in the campaign against General Wise, who at that time had attempted an invasion of this portion of the State. The remainder of the regiment was stationed on the B.&O. R.R. The three months organization was mustered out of service on the 28th day of August, 1861, and the regiment was reorganized under command of Col • .Joseph Thobum, who was Surgeon of the regiment in the three months service. This organization was perfected on the 14th day of November, 1861. During the period of recruiting and reorganizing the regiment, four (4) companies were sent to Burning Springs, Va., and thence to Romney, Va., where they were joined by the remainder of the regiment on the 9th of November, 1861. The regiment participated in the action at Blues Gap, Va., .January 7th, 1862, and was with the command of General Lander at the evacuation of Romney, .January 1Oth, and continued under his c_ommand until his death at Paw-Paw Tunnel, Va., in February, 1862. It then formed a part of the 3d brigade of General Shields 1 division, and with it bore an active part in the battle of Winchester, Va., March 23d, 1862; served with Shields Division during the campaign in the Valley of Virginia in the months of April, May and .June, during which time it creditably performed hard and laborious service. It was engaged at the battle of Port Republic, Va., .June 8th and 9th, and lost heavily. In .July, 1862, the regiment was assigned to the 4th Brigade of Rickett"s Division, of McDowell's Corps, of the Army of Virginia. During the month of August, whilst in this command, it participated in the actions at Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9th, Rappahannock Station, August --th, Thoroughfare Gap, August 28th, and in the second battle of Bull Run, August 29th and 30th, 1862. In October, 1862, the 1st Virginia was sent to Wheeling to recruit, and on the 24th of November, 1862, was ordered to report to General Kelley, and was sent to North Mountain, Va., where it remained until March, 1863, when it was assigned to the 2d Brigade, 1st Division, 8th Army Corps, at Romney, Va., and remained there until .June, 1863, when it joined General Kelley's command in the Maryland campaign of .July, 1863. Col. Mulligan s Division, of which the 1st West Virginia formed a part, was sent to Petersburg, W.Va., on the 16th of August, 1863, whence a detachment of five (5) companies of the regiment were sent to Moorefield, W. Va.--This detachment was attacked on the 5th of September by General Imboden's Brigade, which was repulsed with small loss. Before daylight on the morning of the 11th of September, it was again attacked by surprise by a detachment of Imboden's Brigade, under command of McNiel, in which the camp and a large portion of the command was captured. On the 30th of .January, 1864, the regiment, with the remainder of the forces at Petersburg, under command of Col. Thoburn, retreated to New Creek, W. Va., before a superior force of the enemy under command of General Early. On the 25th of February, 1864, the regiment was sent to Wheeling on veteran furlough, and on the 1st of April joined General Sullivan's command at Webster, W. Va., where it was attached t~ the 2d Brigade, commanded by Col. Thoburn. During the months of April and May, 1864, it was in General Sigel s campaign in the Shenandoah valley, and participated in the battle of New Market, May 14th and 15th, 1864; continued in the same organization during the campaign of General Hunter, being meritoriously engaged in the battles of Piedmont, .June 5th, 1864, and at Lynchburg, .June 17th and 18th, and was with General Hunter's army in its retreat from Lynchburg to the Kanawha River. In .July and August it participated in the campaign of General Crook against Early in the Shenandoah valley,-and was engaged in the battles of Snicker's Ferry, .July 18th, 1864, and at Winchester on the 24th day of .July. In the months of August, September and October, it formed part of the Army of West Virginia, in General Sheridan's army, and was actively engaged at Cedar Creek, August 12th, 1864, at Berryville, September 3d, at Charlestown, August ~---, and at Halltown, August 26th. At the battles of Opequan, September 19th, Fisher's Hill, September 23d, and of Cedar Creek, October 19th, 1864, the regiment was in the reserve. At the latter place, Col. Thoburn of the 1st W.Va. commanding the 1st Division, Army of West Virginia; was mortally wounded; an accomplished and 2 talented gentleman, a brave and chivalrous soldier, a skillful and efficient officer: possessing those qualities in a high degree which fitted him for an ·· .. ..__ exalted station. In his death West Virginia has suffered an irreparable loss. On the 29th of October the regiment was sent to Cumberland, Md., whence the non-veterans were sent to Wheeling to be mustered out of service. The remainder of the regiment was then consolidated into a Battalion of four companies, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Jacob Weddle. By order of the Secretary of War, dated December 10th, 1864, the battalion was consolidated with the 4th W. Va. Infantry, forming the Second Regiment West Virginia Veteran Volunteers, and is now stationed at Cumberland, Md. The following list of soldiers who served in the First West Virginia Infantry was compiled from records kept by the Adutant General. These records include a descriptive roll for each company, individual muster cards, the final muster-out roll, and the Annual Report of the Adjutant General of the State of West Virginia for the Year Ending December 31, 1864. This list does not represent a verbatim transcription of any of the records used and payroll and other accounting information is not included. The information available for each soldier appears in the following format: Name--Age; Height; Complexion; Eyes; Hair; Birthplace; Occupation; Date of Enlistment; Place of Enlistment; Rank; Remarks An asterisk(*) indicates that information was not given in any of the sources used to compile this list. Every ~ttempt was made to find a consensus among the records for the spelling of names. Readers are cautioned that misspellings may exist because of inconsistencies among the original records, difficulties in deciphering handwriting, the possibility of typographical errors in the printed list, and the fact that, over time, individuals or families have altered the spellings of their names. The following abbreviations are used: AAG (Assistant Adjutant General); ADC (Aide de Camp); ARQM (Acting Regimental Quartermaster); GCM (General Court-Martial); NC (Non-Commissioned Staff); QM (Quartermaster); and VRC (Veteran Reserve Corps). Three General Orders, referred to as GO, were issued by the Adjutant General•s Office of the War Department in regard to transfers, dismissals, and re-enlistment. The orders may be found in The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. GO 151, 4 October 1862... If any officer shall hereafter, without proper authority, permit the publication of any official letter or report, or allow any copy of such document to pass into the hands of persons not authorized to receive it, his name will be submitted to the President for dismissal. This rule applies to all official letters and reports written by an officer himself... (series 3, vol. 2, 649.) GO 154, 9 October 1862...

    HISTORY of HANCOCK COUNTY • Virginia and West Virginia o Sacramento Branch Genealogical Library BY JACK WELCH FIRST PRINTING © Copyright, 1963, by Jack Welch All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions. Published in Wheeling, West Virginia, by The Wheeling News Printing & Litho Co. orewor* The physical features of Hancock County can be described quickly and easily. It is the northernmost county in West Virginia, bounded on the north and west by the Ohio River, on the east by Pennsylvania, and on the south by Brooke County. It is the smallest county in West Virginia with 88.55 square miles. It has three muni­ cipalities (Chester, New Cumberland, Weirton), three magisterial districts (Butler, Clay, Grant), and 37 voting precincts. Its agri­ cultural and industrial products include iron, steel, chinaware, pottery, bricks, fire clay, sheet metal, tin products, apples, dairy foods, and livestock. Hancock County, like any other inhabited area of the world, is more than a tiny block of land furnishing a livelihood for several thousands of people. It is a land that is built upon the labor, the ideals, the lives, and the deaths of those who have gone before. It is a forest turned into a farm, a farm turned into a town, and a town turned into an industrial site employing thousands of people. It is a man chopping a tree in a virgin forest, it is a woman taking up a "fie to protect her family from Indians, it is a man building a school, it is a man building a factory. All these things are Hancock County, as much of a reality as the topographical and statistical elements.

However, now when we give tours we can say with certainty that there are at least 14 graves on the hillside.

Bell In the Western Maryland town of Oakland, a rambling home known as Crook’s Crest perches on a hilltop. A short section of roadway below is named Crook Street. One could be forgiven for thinking that a famous outlaw had influenced these names, but the “crook” in this case was General George Crook, renowned for his military skills both in conflicts with Native American Indians in the West and in the Civil War in the East. Crook was born in Taylorsville, Ohio, near Dayton, in 1830, of parents who had moved there from Maryland. Crook’s father belonged to a Baltimore County militia company believed to have partici- pated in the defense of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Crook attended West Point, graduating in 1852, and spent the rest of his life in the Army. He seems to have grasped the which he emphasized the importance of getting to know essence of leadership early in his life. His younger brother, the various leaders of the tribes. Crook, who had done when first placed in command of a military company, asked very poorly in studying French while he was at West Point, George for advice on being a leader. Crook’s response was, learned several West Coast Native American languages “Learn to command yourself and you will find no trouble well enough to be able to communicate in them.

I decided to try and find out more about the other men in that company. The notes below are a collection of information that I collected from the internet. There are sets of history that I am nearly certain of, based on cross correlating 2-3 (or more) sets of records. There are others that appear to be correct, but I’m not certain of; those I marked with “!”. The rest of the men were each noted as having enlisted in Company D in May 1861. But, I have not been able to determine from the records, which set of histories applied to the individual. When I finished the search, I determined that this information, which contains corrections to many records as well summaries of personal histories, might be useful to other family members and researchers. Notes: 1) There are two privates, marked add here that are on the West Virginia unclaimed Civil War Medals1 list for Company D that were not on Linda Fluharty’s list2 or Rawlings History3.
