In the New Jersey Historical Society in Newark are found numerous and extensive records of Company B, 7th New Jersey Infantry Regiment, within the file of William James Evans, who had been Captain of Company B. The records include enlistments and desertions, quartermaster, ordnance, inventory and inspection reports, muster rolls, monthly returns, clothing rolls, lost equipment, etc. In an account of stores lost at Gettysburg, Evans lists all of the items associated with the loss of nine Springfield rifle muskets (caliber 58) in a charge near the Peach Orchard on 2 July 1863, where his men charged and fell back before Barksdale's Mississippi brigade. A September 1861 record indicates Company G received 21 muskets and 220 cartridges round ball. In a March 1863 record, items turned over to Captain Evans of Company B included 45 Springfield muskets and 1000 minnie ball cartridges (cal 58). The latter records are complete through November 1863. An invoice of ordnance and ordnance stores states that on 29 July 1863, at a camp near Warrenton, Virginia, Evans received 562 rounds elongated ball cartridges cal 57 (or 574?), and 595 rounds buck and ball cartridges, caliber 69. Ten such invoices are available from April through December 1863. It appears that Evans was killed on 12 May 1864.
