Regimental History OHIO ONE HUNDRED and FIFTH INFANTRY (Three Years)
One Hundred and Fifth Infantry. - Col., Albert S. Hall; Lieut.-Cols., William R. Tolles, George T. Perkins; Maj. Charles G. Edwards. This regiment was organized at Camp Cleveland, Aug. 20 and 21 1862, to serve for three years. Within one hour after muster-in the regiment, 1,013 strong, was on the march to the station, under orders to leave the state.
Its first field of operations was in Kentucky and after various marches in which it suffered much, it left Louisville in October, marched via Taylorsville and Bloomfield, to Perryville, where it was engaged in the battle of that name. The regiment went into this battle 800 strong and of these 48 were killed and 217 wounded, many of whom died of their wounds. Passing next into Tennessee the regiment remained at Murfreesboro until the following June, when it broke camp to participate in the Tullahoma campaign.
It was engaged at Chickamauga and was highly complimented by the brigade commander. The casualties of the regiment in this battle were 80 killed, wounded and
prisoners, and as two of the largest companies were not in the engagement the casualties were proportionately very heavy. The regiment took part in the maneuvers at Chattanooga and participated in the battle of Missionary ridge, its loss being comparatively slight.
In the long and fatiguing Atlanta campaign of many skirmishes and battles, the regiment made a good record, and although not immediately engaged in any of the heavy engagements, its casualties were large. After the fall of Atlanta it marched to the sea and up through the Carolinas, thence to Washington, and then home, being mustered out on June 3, 1865. Of the 1,013 men who left Cleveland in 1862 only 427 were present at the final roll-call.

OHIO
NINETEENTH INFANTRY
(Three Months)
Nineteenth Infantry. - (Three Months' Service.) Col., Samuel Beatty; Lieut.-Col., Eliott W. Hollingsworth; Maj., Lewis P. Buckley.
This organization was composed of recruits from several counties who were enrolled under the president's call for 75,000 troops for three months, as follows: Co. A,
April 27, at Canton; B, April 27, at Youngstown; C, April 24, at Warren; D, April 25, at Morgan; E, April 24, at New Lisbon; F, April 24, at Chardon; G, April 22, at Akron; H, April 22, at Salem; I, April 27, at Ashtabula, and K, April 27, at Akron.
The companies at once left their homes for Camp Taylor, Cleveland, where they remained until May 27, when they repaired by rail to Columbus and occupied Camp Jackson. Here the regimental organization was perfected by the election of field officers and on May 29 the entire regiment was mustered into the service of the State of Ohio for a period of three months. The mustering of the regiment completed, Cos. A and B were immediately equipped and sent to Bellaire, where they were on duty
guarding a ferry. On June 3 they left for Glover's gap and Mannington, where they performed similar duty until June 20, when they joined the regiment at Bellaire.
The next day the 19th embarked on steamers for Parkersburg, W. Va., arriving there on June 23 and was made a part of Gen. Rosecrans, brigade. On June 25 it moved by rail to Clarksburg and became a part of Gen. McClellan's "Provisional Army of West Virginia." On the 29th it left Clarksburg with the advance and made its
first real march, reaching Buckhannon on July 2, and Roaring creek July 7, encamping in front of the fortified Confederate position at Rich mountain.
It distinguished itself in the fight at Rich mountain by the cool and handsome manner in which it held its post against a flank attack. On July 23, its term of service having expired, it was ordered home to be mustered out, arriving at Columbus, July 27, with a loss of only 1 man, who died of disease. The last company was mustered out on Aug. 31, 1861.

(Three Years)
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Infantry. - Col., Charles W. Hill; Lieut.-Cols., William S. Pierson, Edward A. Scovill, Thomas H. Linnell; Maj., Junius R. Sanford. This regiment was organized at Columbus Johnson's island, and Camp Cleveland from Dec. 7, 1861, to Jan. 8, 1864, to serve for three years. Cos. A, B, C and D were originally known as Hoffman's battalion and were transferred to this regiment Jan. 5, 1864.
The regiment was principally engaged in guarding Confederate prisoners at Johnson's island, but had frequently furnished detachments for service elsewhere, including a short but active campaign in pursuit of Confederate troops in West Virginia in 1862. The original members of Cos. A and B were mustered out on Jan. 20,
and Feb. 28, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service, and the remainder of the regiment was mustered out on July 13, 1865, in accordance with orders from the war department.

OHIO SECOND CAVALRY
(Three Years)
Second Cavalry. - Cols., Charles Doubleday, August V. Kautz, Bayard Nettleton, Dudley Seward; Lieut.-Cols., Robert W. Ratliff, George A. Purington, David E. Welch; Majs., Henry F. Willson, George G. Miner, Henry L. Burnett, Albert Barnitz, Hyman N. Easton, Rynd E. Lawder.
The 2nd cavalry was recruited and organized under the supervision of Hon. B. F. Wade and Hon. John Hutchins, in the summer and fall of 1861, to serve for three years, and rendezvoused at Camp Wade. Early in Jan., 1862, under orders from the war department, the regiment proceeded by rail via Cincinnati, St. Louis and St. Joseph to Platte City, Mo. In February a scouting party of 120 men of the regiment was attacked in the streets of Independence by an equal force under the command of the subsequently noted Quantrill, but as the results of the regiment's "first fight," Quantrill was routed in 15 minutes, losing 5 killed, 4 wounded and 5 captured, the Ohioans losing 1 killed and 3 wounded.
In Aug., 1862, there was a detail of 2 officers and 13 men from each company for the purpose of forming a light battery of artillery. And in Jan., 1863, there was an order issued by the war department, making the detail a permanent Ohio battery, to be known as the 25th battery Ohio light artillery. Early in September the mounted portion of the regiment with the battery above-mentioned, moved with the army of Gen. Blunt into Missouri and Arkansas, sharing in the active campaign, which ended in the victory of Prairie Grove. In this autumn campaign the regiment fought at Carthage, and Newtonia, Mo., camped at Pea Ridge, and fought at Cow hill, Wolf creek, White river and Prairie Grove.
In Sept., 1863 the regiment participated in the defeat of the Confederates at Blountsville and Bristol, Tenn. During the siege of Knoxville it operated on the enemy's flank and after the siege was raised joined in the pursuit. In December it fought Longstreet's cavalry at Morristown; two days later it formed the advance of a brigade which attacked and
fought eighteen regiments for 2 hours at Russellville, losing 40 men killed and wounded; it was at the front 5 hours in the battle of Bean's station, and for fire days was almost constantly under fire. The time was spent in maneuvering and fighting until Jan. 1, 1864, when out of 470 men, 420 reenlisted and were furloughed.
At Brandy Station Va., it engaged Rosser's cavalry with slight loss, and from this time on in the Wilderness campaign it was employed almost constantly in covering the right flank of the infantry, either on picket duty or skirmishing. The regiment occupied the center and sustained the heaviest of the shock at Hanover Court House, driving the enemy from the front, taking possession of and holding the town.
In Ashland it was surrounded by the enemy under Fitzhugh Lee and an action ensued which lasted until sunset, when the Union forces withdrew, the regiment covering the retreat. It had an active share in the fighting at Nottaway Court House, Stony creek and Reams' station, losing 105 killed, wounded and missing, and returned to the lines at Light House point on July 1. It was engaged in August at Winchester and Charlestown, then marched to the vicinity of Berryville and assisted in driving the enemy from that town.
At the battle of the Opequan, after 4 hours' hard fighting, the regiment was the last to leave the pursuit on the Valley pike. With its division, it moved out the Front Royal pike, drove Wickham's cavalry through Front Royal and marched and skirmished in Luray valley until it joined the army at New Market. At Waynesboro the regiment fought, dismounted, till all had withdrawn and then charged through a line of Confederate infantry in column of fours and continued as rear-guard until noon the next day. Rosser's cavalry attacked the command at Bridgewater, but was repulsed, the regiment sharing in the action.
It shared in the battle of Cedar creek, being in the saddle from daybreak until 9 o'clock p. m. The regiment marched with the cavalry to reconnoiter Early's force at New Market, where it became hotly engaged, and it repulsed that portion of the enemy which attacked the 1st brigade at Lacey's springs.
It was mustered out on Sept. 11, 1865, at St. Louis, Mo.

Regimental History OHIO FORTY-FIRST INFANTRY
Forty-first Infantry. - Cols., William B. Hazen, Aquilla Wiley; Lieut.-Cols., John J. Wiseman, George S. Mygatt, Robert L. Kimberly, Ephraim S. Holloway; Majs., John H. Williston, Ezra Dunham. This regiment was organized at Camp Wood, from Aug. 26 to Oct. 29, 1861, to serve for three years. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were mustered out, and the organization composed of veterans and recruits retained in service until Nov. 27, 1865, when it was mustered out in accordance with orders from the war department. The following is a list of battles, in which this regiment bore an honorable part, taken from the Official
Army Register, Part V, page 116: Shiloh, Stone's river, Woodbury, Liberty gap, Tenn.; Chickamauga, Ga.; Brown's ferry, Chattanooga, Orchard knob, Missionary ridge, Tenn.; Rocky Face ridge, Resaca, Adairsville, Cassville, Dallas, Pickett's mills, Kennesaw mountain, Chattahoochee river, Siege of Atlanta, Lovejoy's Station, Ga.; Franklin and Nashville, Tenn.
Of 373 who entered the engagement at Shiloh 141 were either killed or wounded in half an hour. Of 410 officers and men at Stone's river - the largest number it ever took into battle - 112 were killed or wounded. At the close of the fight at Orchard knob, Gen. Thomas said to Col. Wiley, who commanded the 41st in that battle: "Colonel, I want you to express to your men my thanks for their splendid conduct this afternoon. It was a gallant thing - a very gallant thing." The losses of the regiment in this battle, and at Missionary ridge were severe, 115 of the regiment having fallen, most of them at Orchard knob. At Rocky Face ridge the regiment, now reduced to a battalion, was complimented for its steadiness under a galling fire, and at Resaca it gained a crest within 75 yards of the enemy's main line and effectually prevented the use of his artillery. At Dallas it lost 108 men out of 260, one company losing 20 out of 22, and another 9 out of 11. At the Chattahoochee river it lost 2 men killed and 5 wounded. From 331 men at the beginning of the Atlanta campaign the regiment dwindled to 91. Of those lost 150 fell in battle.

Notes for Aaron Darwin Patchin, 4 Jan 1808 - 27 Jul 1864
[Was this the architect who built the four houses on Milligan Place, Greenwich Village, NY?? Web site states that "Aaron Patchin" was son-in-law to Gilbert Milligan, whose house first stood on the site. Since "our" Aaron lived in NY, had a wife Milligan, and lived in the appropriate era, it may be. In fact, it seems very likely, since this web site says that the Samuel Milligan daughter who married the architect Aaron Patchin was named Isobel, and this very nicely matches the wife's name of "our" Aaron".]
Web site states about Patchin Place, in Greenwich Village, NY, the following:
In 1835, Gilbert and Lucy Milligan granted Patchin Place to their son-in-law Aaron Patchin, and the property remained in the Patchin family until 1920. The ten houses on this tiny cul-de-sac, entered by an iron gate on the sidewalk of West 10th Street, were reputedly built in 1848 as boarding houses for workers at Brevoort House hotel on Fifth Avenue. After the turn of the century, artists and writers discovered the charm of these small houses, isolated from, but accessible to, the Village's cafe life. O. Henry, Theodore Dreiser, John Reed, and, in later years, Abbott's close friend Djuna Barnes and e.e. cummings lived on Patchin Place. After 1917, modern improvements, such as indoor plumbing, electricity, and steam heat, were installed to attract wealthier, more stable tenants. Patchin Place and adjacent Milligan Place were among the city's earliest examples of urban gentrification.
In 1963, a new owner intended to tear down Patchin and Milligan Places to erect an apartment building, but community activists, led by Democratic district leader Ed Koch, saved the treasured enclaves. The Places were granted landmark status in 1969 and have changed little since Abbott's day [1936].
Notes for Caroline D. Patchin, 1840 - 21 Jun 1868
"History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952 states:
Caroline and her sister, Mary, drowned when Morning Star went down in 1868 as they were returning from the June 17th wedding of their cousin, Isabella Patchin Tiffany, where they acted as bridesmaids.
According to this web site, it was "women and children last" in this case. They say:
"The Morning Star" (Lake Erie, 1868). "The Morning Star" rammed into the "Courtlandt," a cargo ship. Both boats sank as one. Only after the all-male crew had secured places in the two lifeboats were a few of the "Morning Star's" first-class passengers (among them women and children) allowed to clamber aboard."
This web site says the following about the collision:
The Morning Star was a wooden side-wheel steamer of 243 ft. She ran over the bark Courtland in a night time collision and sank 6/21/1868 off Lorain, Ohio. All 23 people aboard drowned when the vessel rapidly sank. The Morning Star carried a cargo of iron bars and glass at the time of the wreck.
This web site states:
"The investigation into the loss of both vessels led to the navigational lighting rules used throughout the Great Lakes to this very day."

Fact 1: BET 1856 AND 1857 Established, with his wife, Wadawanuck Young Ladies Institute in Stonington, New London Co., CT [Source: "History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952]
Web site states:
He was by religious faith a Congregationalist, studied divinity and was graduated from the theological school of Yale College in 1835. For fifteen years after graduation he labored as a preacher and pastor in central and western New York. He then, partly through the in fluence of his wife, who had been a teacher, became deeply interested in the higher education of women, and applied himself to the work of stimulating public interest on that subject. He earnestly advocated the erection and endowment of a college for women that should afford equal advantages to those so long provided for men, and devoted not a little of his time and energy to securing, by public and private subscriptions, funds for that purpose. He was in fact the pioneer in that class of effort, which in six years resulted in the building of Elmira College, the first institution of its kind. He also took an active interest, with his wife, in establishing the New York Medical College for Women, of which he was a trustee to the end of his life.

Twentieth Cavalry.-Cols., Newton B. Lord, David M. Evans; Lieut.Cols., David M. Evans, Jacob S. Gates; Majs., Charles F. Smith, John G. Cudworth, John Bower Preston, Hiram H. Carpenter, Jacob S. Gates, John O'Hara, Patrick Fitzpatrick.
The 20th, called the McClellan cavalry, was organized in the summer of 1863 at Sacket's Harbor, and was there mustered into the U. S. service during the month of September for three years. The companies of which it was composed were recruited in the counties of Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Oswego, Onondaga and Albany.
Col. Lord, who had been authorized on June 19, 1863, by Gov. Seymour to recruit this regiment, had previously commanded the 35th infantry throughout the bloody series of battles of 1862, and many of his men reenlisted in the 20th cavalry. The regiment left the state on Sept. 30, about 1,200 strong, and was stationed at Portsmouth, Va., as part of the 22nd corps until Jan., 1864, when it was assigned to Heckman's division, 18th corps, remaining at Portsmouth until April, when it was transferred to the District of East Virginia, Department of Virginia and North Carolina.
In Dec., 1864, it joined the 1st brigade, Gen. Kautz's cavalry division, Army of the James, with which it remained until the close of the war. Part of this time, Co. D was on detached
service at Fort Pocahontas; Co. F at Fort Powhatan; Co. G in the 1st brigade, Mackenzie's division; and Co. I with the provisional and 10th corps.
The heaviest casualties sustained by the 20th were at Smithfield, Va., in Feb., 1864, when it lost 21 men captured. It was active at Suffolk, Currituck, Chuckatuck, Wood's mills, South Quay, Winton, N. C., Guiam's ford, N. C., Jamestown island, Murfree's depot, siege of Petersburg, Darbytown road, campaign of the Carolinas, and in the Appomattox campaign.
Its losses were not heavy, owing to the fact that it was largely employed in garrison duty and siege operations. It was mustered out on July 31, 1865, Cos. E and H at Fortress Monroe, and the other companies at Manchester, Va. The regiment lost while in service 7 enlisted men killed and died of wounds; 2 officers and 121 men died of disease, accidents, in prison, etc., a total of 130.

Regimental History
PENNSYLVANIA
ONE HUNDRED and FORTY-FIFTH INFANTRY
(Three Years)
One Hundred and Forty-fifth Infantry. - Cols., Hiram L. Brown, David B. McCreary; Lieut.-Cols., David B. McCreary, Charles M. Lynch; Majs., John W. Patton, John. W. Reynolds, Charles M. Lynch, James H. Hamlin.
The 145th, composed of men from the counties of Erie, Warren, Crawford and Mercer, rendezvoused at the old camp of the 83d and 111th, near Erie, and was mustered into the U. S. service for three years, during the latter part of August and the first part of Sept., 1862. Col. Brown had previously served in the militia and as a captain, both in the three months, Erie regiment and the 83d. Lieut.-Col. McCreary had also served in the militia and in the Erie regiment.
Such was the demand for troops at the front at this time, the 145th was hurried to Chambersburg on Sept. 11, where it could hear Lee's guns at South mountain, and where it was supplied with arms of an obsolete pattern. After two days at Camp McClure, it hurried forward towards Hagerstown, only partially equipped,. and on the morning of the 17th was only 10 miles from the field of Antietam. About noon it reached the
battlefield and at once went into position between the Union left and the Potomac, where it did picket duty until the morning of the 19th, when it assisted in burying the dead and caring for the wounded.
The sudden transformation from civil life to active military duty worked havoc with the men and over 200 were incapacitated for duty, while many died or were permanently disabled. It next moved to Harper's Ferry, where it was temporarily assigned to the Irish brigade and later to the 1st brigade, 1st division, 2nd corps. In October it moved to Warrenton and thence to Falmouth.
It shared in the bloody charge on Marye's heights at the battle of Fredericksburg and behaved with the steadiness of a veteran organization. Less than 500 men were engaged and of these 226 were killed or wounded. Nine commissioned officers were killed, Col. Brown was severely wounded, and only 2 field officers in the entire brigade escaped injury.
At the battle of Chancellorsville it suffered another severe loss, more than 100 detailed on the skirmish line being captured, as they did not receive the order to retire when the army fell back toward the river. Its total loss was 122 killed, wounded and captured.
It reached the field of Gettysburg with the 2nd corps on the morning of July 2 and suffered severely in the two days, fighting, its heaviest loss being incurred at the Peach Orchard. Altogether 90 men were killed, wounded or missing, out of 200 engaged, Col. Brown and Maj. Reynolds being among the wounded.
It then shared in the pursuit of Lee, the campaign of maneuvers in the Valley of Virginia, and the Mine Run campaign, being active at Auburn, Bristoe Station and Raccoon ford. It went into permanent winter quarters on the close of the Mine Run campaign near Germanna ford, its camp being pronounced by medical directors the best in the army. During the winter it received a large number of
recruits and on May 5, 1864, it moved on the Wilderness campaign. Its loss was light at the Wilderness, but it suffered severely at the Po river and again on the following day, when under Gen. Hancock, it led the assault on the enemy's entrenched works.
It was active at the North Anna river, Totopotomy and Cold Harbor, losing heavily in the last named action. In an assault on the works of Petersburg on June 16, the regiment suffered a serious disaster, for of 200 men engaged, about 50 were killed and wounded, and 9 officers and about 80 enlisted men were taken prisoners, Lieut.-Col. McCreary being among the captured. It suffered more loss on July 22, when Maj. Lynch, commanding the regiment, was among the prisoners.
A mere fragment of the regiment was now left, which did duty in the trenches and was active at Deep Bottom, Reams, station and Five Forks. After the surrender of Lee it returned to Alexandria, and after participating in the grand review at Washington, was mustered out near Alexandria on May 31, 1865. It returned to Erie, Pa., under the command of Col. McCreary, and was there finally paid and discharged on June 5.
