Seventh Infantry
WEST VIRGINIA
(3-YEARS)
Seventh Infantry. -- Cols., James Evans, Joseph Snyder;
Lieut.Cols., John G. Kelley, Jonathan H. Lockwood, Isaac B.
Fisher, Francis W. H. Baldwin; Majs., Isaac B. Fisher, James
B. Morris Marcus Fetty.
This regiment was organized at Wheeling and Grafton from July
to Oct., 1861, and was mustered in for three years. Its early
service was in Virginia and West Virginia, dispersing
wandering bands of the enemy, guarding the railroads, etc.
It fought at Romney, Bloomery Gap, and in numerous minor
skirmishes, and on April 2, 1862, was relieved from railroad
duty and ordered to Winchester, where it was assigned to
provost duty under Maj. Lockwood.
It was next engaged in several tiresome marches in the
Shenandoah Valley, and on July 2 reached Harrison's Landing on
the James river in time to cover the rear of McClellan's army
as it fell back from Malvern Hill. It remained with the Army
of the Potomac covered Pope's retreat from Centerville to
Chain bridge, distinguished itself at Antietam and
Fredericksburg, in both of which actions it was in the first
line of battle, participated in the battle of
Chancellorsville; arrived at Gettysburg on the evening of July
1, 1863, and played a prominent part in the two days'
engagement that followed.
In all these actions it lost severely, but was always at its
post of duty. After Gettysburg it rested at Elk run, Va.,
until in September, when it moved on the Bristoe campaign and
the Mine Run fiasco. In Feb., 1864, it fought at Morton's
ford, immediately after which the veterans went home on
furlough.
The regiment rejoined the Army of the Potomac in time for the
campaign from the Rapidan to the James, in which it was
engaged at the Wilderness, Po River, Ny River, Spottsylvania,
the North Anna River, Totopotomy, and Cold Harbor, losing
heavily during the campaign.
It was in the first assaults on the works at Petersburg; was
engaged at Deep Bottom; at the explosion of Burnside's mine;
and as a compliment to the gallantry of the members at Reams'
station the regiment was furnished with the Henry repeating
rifle. It was in action at Hatcher's run and on the Boydton
plank road; was present at the fall of Petersburg; pursued
Lee's army to Appomattox, and was present at the surrender.
During these later movements the regiment consisted of a
battalion of four companies under Lieut.-Col. Baldwin, the
non-veterans having been mustered out at the expiration of the
term of enlistment. The battalion was mustered out July 1,
1865.
