I found your article while looking for more information about the NJ 9th. My gr gr grandfather was in Co E. If you come across his name in any of your reasearch, please let me know. He was Pvt. Horace Havens. from what I can tell he was in service from Sep 1861 though Oct 1863. One record indicates he was disabled, but I don't know yet when or how. I'm just learning about this unit and found your post interesting.

I was aware of that Dennis but thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey Dennis. My father's father's father's father's father was in Company C of the 9th. Do you see anything about him in your research? His name was Charles Miller . Or in German, it was Karl Müller. He was a private.
ReplyDeleteAny pictures of the company/regiment? Karl is my only "father" who I don't have a picture of.
Actually, I just checked and he was in Company A in the beginning, then wound up in Company C later.
ReplyDeleteJohn this is all I have on Charles Muller. There are no pitures, sorry.
ReplyDeleteNote. There was a Charles Miller, in Co. C., was received as a recruit in 1865, no other info.
Muller, Charles Private, Enrolled Sept. 13, 1861, Mustered Sept. 13, 1861 3 Yrs. Transferred to Co. A.
Muller, Charles Private Enrolled Sept. 13, 1861, Mustered Sept. 13, 1861 3 Yrs. July 12, 1865, Transferred from Co. M; re-enlisted Jan. 18, '64.
The following was taken from the regimental history of the ninth, N. J. Infantry.
Old Company M., New Company A.
Charles Muller re-elisted January 18, 1864, Germany, Transferred from Company A. Wounded in left arm and chest at Newbern, March 14, 1862.
Charles Muller, Company A., from Newark, went into the woods for pleasure, carrying a small wooden stick in his hand, when he came up with rebels standing under a tree, their loaded guns with equipments standing by their side at the tree; to secure the arms and to tell the men that they were his prisoners, was the work of a moment, and carrying the arms himself, with the men walking before him, Charles returned to camp, still with the wooden stick in his hand. He marched past the artillery and cavalry guards, and his arrival in the camp of the inth, caused much amusement among the men.
