NOTES. —Seven companies proceeded to Washington, Sept. 19, 1861 ; the others followed on Oct. 3d; the whole regiment, 920 strong, encamping on Meridian Hill, where it remained until December, when it moved to Budd's Ferry, Md. In company with the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth New Jersey Volunteers, it formed what was known as the Second Jersey Brigade, and was assigned to Hooker's Division, Third Corps. It was hotly engaged at Williamsburg, where its casualties aggregated 26 killed, 90 wounded, and 7 missing. General Mott com manded the brigade, and General Berry the division at Chancellorsville, a battle in which the brigade rendered good service, and the Seventh captured five stands of colors; the Seventh lost there 6 killed, and 41 wounded. The brigade was commanded at Gettysburg by Colonel George C. Burling (Sixth New Jersey), the losses in the regi ment amounting to 15 killed, 86 wounded, and 13 missing; Colonel Francine was mortally wounded in the battle of the second day. In March, 1864, the Third Corps was merged into the Second, the brigade being assigned to Mott's Division. The regiment encountered hard fighting at Spotsylvania, and in the assault on Petersburg, June 18th; its losses in May and June, 1864, amounting to 12 killed, 97 wounded, and 60 captured or missing. In November, 1864, the men of the Fifth New Jersey Battalion were transferred to the Seventh, and it also received a large number of conscripts and recruits. The original members were mustered out at Trenton, N. J., Oct. 7, 1864, but enough men remained in the field to preserve the organization.
