| Seventh Infantry.-Col., William H. Irwin; Lieut.-Col., Oliver H. Rippey;
Maj., F. P. Robinson. This regiment was recruited at Pittsburg, Alleghany, Fredonia,
Pleasantville, Reading, Boalsburg and Lewistown, and was mustered in at Harrisburg, April
22 and 23, 1861, for three months' service. It was ordered to Chambersburg, arriving there
on April 23 and remained until June 8. It was treated with marked courtesy by the citizens
of Chambersburg, presented with a beautiful flag, and left its kind hosts with regret. It
was assigned to the 3d brigade, 1st division, under Gen. Patterson and encamped near
Greencastle. On June 14, the regiment moved to Williamsport, on July 2 to Martinsburg,
WVa, then to Bunker Hill and Charlestown, the enemy retiring toward Winchester. On July
22, the regiment started for Harrisburg, where the men were mustered out. |
