496 HISTORY OF C OH ASSET. 



Battalion : Sergeant Thomas Tower, Corporal Eustis IV. 

 Tilden, Privates George A. Fish, William H. Morse, Alonso 

 L. Palmer, and Levi C. Tozver. Two more were added 

 later, Isaac H. Tower the next January and Charles H. 

 Willis ton in May. 



Another squad of eight joined on January 10, 1863, the 

 Third Unattached Company, which afterwards became 

 Company A of the Third Regiment, Heavy Artillery : 

 Sergeant William H. Remington, Corporal Charles F. Davis, 

 Privates Levi L. Minot, Thomas Katie, Alfred Haskell, 

 William F. Harris, Jr., David J. Co7iillard,2iV\dJohn Clarke. 

 The next year, upon a later draft, Wallace Willcntt joined 

 the company, making a total of nine. Four of these after- 

 wards joined the navy, Couillard, Haskell, Kane, and 

 Minot. Remington became second lieutenant May 23, 

 1864. These men had to perform garrison duty in Boston 

 Harbor until the spring of 1864, when they were ordered 

 to report to Washington. 



This completes the quota of thirty-eight men except 

 one. Several navy enlistments might be drawn from to 

 fill out this one, but there was one of the Thayer boys who 

 perhaps should be counted to fill out the thirty-eight. 

 Ancil P. Thayer enlisted at Braintree, August 6, 1862, in 

 the Third Regiment of Cavalry, Company K, dying upon 

 the battlefield near Winchester, Va., September 19, 1864. 



To return to the enlistments under the nine months' 

 call, which began before the three years' enlistments 

 were filled, we find Andrew J. Studley mustered in on 

 September 8 in Company F of the Sixth Regiment. 

 The most of this regiment's duties were in the vi- 

 cinity of Blackwater River, on the southern coast of 

 Virginia. One terrible day was the last of January, 1863, 

 when three distinct fights were pushed through, with a 

 march of forty miles in twenty-four hours. They were 

 busy keeping as much of the Confederate army as possible 

 away from northern Virginia.
