NEW JERSEY INFANTRY

1st New Jersey Light Artillery

Battery B

Ancestors

McChesney, Leander - I recently learned that my great grandfather served with the above light artillery battery. He served from September 3, 1861 to June 16, 1865. He joined as a private and was mustered out as a second lieutenant. I am looking for any information possible about his regiment, battles they participated in, etc. Thank you.

5th New Jersey Regiment

Company C

Ancestors

Buck, Dennis M., Sergeant - I have been tryng to obtain some information on my g-g-grandfather, Sgt Dennis M. Buck. The only information I have at present is that he enlisted in the Union Army 19, Aug. 1861, as Private, Company C, 5th NJ Infantry. Other information has him enlisting in Troop D, 2d US Cavalry 25, Oct. 1862, in Alexandria, VA. This information may or may not be accurate. I have a listing of battles that he was suppose to have engaged in. Thank you, Karl E. Gansberg, kegan@dc.jones.com.

38th New Jersey Regiment

Company E

Ancestors

Johnson, Jacob, H., Sr. - I have discharge papers for my great grandfather, Jacob H. Johnson,Sr., but it says he "enlisted from Hunterdon Co., NJ Sept. 21, 1864 and was mustered into the US service at Trenton, NJ as a private to serve one year or during war in Company E 38th Regiment NJ Volunteer Infantry under Capt. William W. Abbott and Colonel William J. Sewell." There are several words I cannot read, letters that don't make sense such as "The regiment was assigned to a Brerissional Brigade(?). --- was assigned to Garrison Duty at Fort Powhatan on the James River. It took a part with the army before Petersburg which resulted in the capture of Petersburg --- 2, 1865. Appomattix ----------Rebel-------surrender with his army on --- 1965 was wounded at Fort Pocahontas and was shot in right------was in field hospital----months and was finally honoably discharged June 30, 1865 at City Point, VA by reason of close of war." The original discharge certificate is quite large. Am interested in any info. on this regiment. Thank you, Vet4u@aol.com
