| Independent Batteries. — Nine light batteries (A to I
inclusive) were organized in the state while the war was in progress and
served at various places as independent organizations, but all rendered
a good account of themselves, winning praise from their commanding
generals on many occasions.
Battery H. — Capts., John J. Nevin, William Borrowe, Edward H. Nevin,
Jr. The members of Battery H came from Pittsburg and were there mustered
into the U. S. service on Oct. 21, 1862, for a three years term. It
joined the forces at Hagerstown and was attached to the troops under
Gen. Morell. In December it was ordered to Washington and remained there
until the following spring, when it was sent to Alexandria, Va. Here it
was engaged in provost duty until Jan., 1865, when it returned to Camp
Barry, Washington and there completed its term of service. It was
mustered out at Pittsburg, June 18, 1865. |
