Civil War Union Major General, US Senator. He was Abe Lincoln's best friend and Lincoln named one of his children after him. Baker was born in London England in 1811. He moved to the US with his parents as a child. He lived in Springfield Illinois where he met Lincoln and served as law partners. He served in congress and formed his own regiment in Illinois and saw action in Mexico fighting with Winfield Scott in 1849. He later was instrumental in keeping the western states free from slavery and helped Lincoln become President in 1861.

He rode with Lincoln to the inaugural and introduced Lincoln to the podium for his inaugural speech. He became Senator of Oregon and when the South fired on Fort Summter He formed the California Regiment in New York City. Other regiments were placed in his Brigade and it became known as Baker's Brigade; most men were from Penn. Some of these regiments later evolved into the Penn 71st, and the Irish 69th; both were later instrumental in stopping Pickett's men at Gettysburg on July 3. Baker, however was killed earlier in the war at the battle of Ball's Bluff, Oct 21, 1861. Baker led the Union forces in the field and after being shot and killed, his men lost their spirit and retreated in a disorderly, mob fashion. it turned into one of the Union's greatest war time debacles. It was a small battle but it was a terrible blow for the Union and had dreadful results for the Union Army leadership.

JANUARY 14, 1864.-Scout to Baldwin's Ferry, Big Black River, Miss.

Report of Major James Ketner, First Kansas Mounted Infantry.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST KANSAS MOUNTED INFANTRY,
January 15, 1864.

COLONEL: In obedience to your orders of January 14, I took command of Companies A, B, F, and G, in all about 40 men, and proceeded with them to Baldwin's Ferry for the purpose, as ordered, of destroying any and all flat-boats, ferries, or other means of crossing the river that I might find at or in the vicinity of said ferry. On my way to the ferry, and while there, I saw no signs or indications of any enemy, and in fact saw nothing by which the rebels or any one else could cross the river. I then divided my command and sent Lieutenant and Adjt. John A. Henry with 10 men up the river.

About 1 mile above the ferry he discovered a place where citizens or others had been floating cotton across the river, and about one half mile farther up he discovered on the opposite side of the river a small skiff half full of water and evidently not in use by any once. At Webb's he discovered 6 bales of the cotton that had been floated across the river from Baldwin's Ferry. Both up and down the river there is no road, so that we were compelled to pick our way through undergrowth, over fallen trees, and through swamp and almost impassable marshes. With the remaining 30 men I started down the river, but could not get to the river at any point, and after traveling over about 6 miles of territory below the ferry I returned to camp without having seen any of the enemy or even hearing of them.

Citizens through the country all tell me that no rebels have been over the river since the raid about Christmas. I found no boats of any description, nor could I find any evidences of crossing at any point. Could learn of only two points of crossing, to with Baldwin's and Hall's Ferries. I would suggest as the only feasible plan at present that a skiff be manned at the bridge and sent down the river. I am satisfied if there are any private ferries, flat-boats, skiffs, or other means of crossing the river they can in this way be discovered; and if, which is possible, although not very probable, the party should be surprised on their way down, if necessary they can abandon the skiff on the west side of the river and escape, and thus accomplish the object of their mission. The river is now very high, and I am of the opinion that no rebels are crossing at all.

I am, sir, your obedient servant, JAMES KETNER, Major, Commanding Detachment.

Names From The Private Acts Of Congress.

Here is a index of The private Acts of Congress, These Acts were passed in the years of 1789 to 1845. There are thousands of names here and all were asking something from congress and got it. You may be asking what is a ( Private Act ), A private act come from a petition that was sent before congress, if this petition passes the Committees the petition is ordered to be printed into a ( Bill ), if the Bill pass both houses it becomes Law or a ( Private Act.)

If you find you a ancestor on this list you may be wondering why their on this list. Well there are hundreds reasons, they may have been asking for a pension from the revolutionary war or the war of 1812, the changing of a name of a boat. Maybe they had a house destroyed in one of the wars. Like I stated there are hundreds of reason why their names are here. Just remember these are the years the ( Act ) passed congress and not the year the event took place. You may be wondering if the event took place in 1776 or 1812, why are they just now getting what they ask for? You have to remember the U. S. Government was new and most of the common people don’t know much of the laws of the land. And if they did the law may not of allow for their petition, then a few years later the law would change again and their petition was allowed.

Note. If you see a name of interest and would like a copy you can find my address in my profile. ( You must give the title of this page when asking for information on a name, or I may not be able to help you.) I have thousands of names at this web site and to be given a name out of the blue and no were to look for the information will only slow things down.

Last Note. As there are thousands of names here there will be some miss spellings of some of the names it just couldn’t not be helped.

United States Senator, Secretary of the Treasury, Union Major General of Volunteers, Minister to France, Governor of New York. He was born in Boscawen, New Hampshire. He first saw action as an ensign at 14, serving under his father, Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Dix Jr., in the War of 1812. Resigning from the service in 1828, he pursued commercial interests in Cooperstown, New York, and entered politics as a Jacksonian Democrat. He soon became a power in the party, serving as New York adjutant general and New York school superintendent. He also was a member of the Albany Regency, the controlling political machine in the state. In 1845 he served in the United States Senate filling an unexpired term, remaining there until 1850. During the next 10 years he served as president of 2 different railroads while practicing law in New York City. In 1859 President James Buchanan appointed him postmaster of New York City. He then served as Buchanan's last Secretary of the Treasury, assuming his duties on January 15, 1861.

Shortly afterward he telegraphed his famous American Flag Dispatch to Treasury officers in New Orleans who were being harassed: "If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." He then received the first commission from President Abraham Lincoln as Major General of Volunteers, dated May 16, 1861. Thus he outranked all other volunteer officers until the end of the Civil War.

No. 173. Report of Captain Edwin Bishop,
Second New Jersey Infantry, of the battle of Gaines' Mill.

HDQRS. SECOND REGIMENT NEW JERSEY VOLUNTEERS, --- --, 1862.

SIR: I submit the following report of the action of yesterday, in which Companies D, H. I, and K, of this regiment, were engaged, under Colonel Tucker:

The battalion left camp about 3.30 o'clock for Gaines' farm, the scene of action, where it arrived about 4 o'clock, and was ordered by General Taylor to support Major Hexamer's battery, but soon was sent by General Porter, commanding, to relieve the Fourth Michigan Regiment (Colonel Woodbury), posted along the edge of a thick wood about 500 yards to the front and left of the battery, which position was maintained under a heavy fire for about half an hour. Our situation was such that we were totally unable to observe the movements of the enemy on our left flank, and it was only when we received a severe cross-fire that we learned that that important point had been gained and the regiment on our left had already retreated. Owing to he superior numbers of the enemy and the want of support the battalion was forced to retire to the top of the hill, which it did through a perfect storm of bullets. Having reached the hill and formed in line of battle the number of men left was so small, the force opposing us so immensely superior, that it was thought by Major Ryeson (then in command, Colonel Tucker having been killed just after ordering the battalion to retire) better to retire to the top of the newt hill, which was then occupied by the bulk of our troops. On the was to the place designated Major Ryeson fell wounded in the abdomen, and many of the men fell killed or wounded, as the battalion was obliged to retire through a cross-fire of the enemy, and received two volleys of musketry from our own troops occupying the hill above, who evidently mistook us for the enemy.

EDWIN BISHOP, Captain, Second Regiment.

HDQRS. THIRTY-THIRD NEW JERSEY VOLUNTEERS,
Near Kenesaw Mountain, June 21, 1864.

GENERAL: I have the honor to report that my regiment has again been engaged, having participated severely in the action of Pine Knob on the 15th and 16th instant.
The conduct of the command was excellent; the line advanced under a withering fire without a waver as steadily as if it were only a battalion drill. No body of men could have done better, and well did they sustain the proud name New Jersey's soldiers have always borne. With deep regret I announce to you the death of Lieutenant Cochrane, Company K, a most gallant and dashing young officer. Brave, cool, ready, talented in no small degree, a bright career was opening up before him. He had for gallantry on previous fields been recommended for promotion to his Excellency the Governor. On the day upon which he was buried his commission as captain was received. Thus one by one our officers are falling.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ENOS FOURAT, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding.
