notes.--Organized at Binghamton, N. Y., and mustered into the United States service on August 28, 1862. The companies were raised in the Twenty-fourth Senatorial District--Broome, Tompkins and Tioga counties. The regiment left Binghamton promptly, proceeding to Annapolis Junction, Md., where it was placed on guardduty along the line of railroad to Washington, a few of the companies being stationed at Laurel, Md. It remained there the rest of the year and during all of 1863. In the spring of 1864, the regiment was ordered to join the Ninth Corps, then assembling at Annapolis, and it accordingly took the field in the ranks of that battle-tried command. It was assigned to Hartranft's (1st) Brigade, Willcox's (3d) Division — afterward's Harriman's Brigade of Willcox's (1st) Division. Colonel Tracy resigned May 20, 1864, and Colonel Catlin, a gallant and meritorious officer, succeeded to the command. The corps left Annapolis, April 23, 1864, and crossing the Rapidan on May 5th, the One Hundred and Ninth was engaged the next day at the Wilderness, in its first battle, where it lost 11 killed, 64 wounded, and 1 missing. In the charge of the Ninth Corps at Spotsylvania, the regiment lost 25 killed, 86 wounded, and 29 missing; in the assault on Petersburg, June 17, 1864, 26 killed, 81 wounded, and 20 missing; at the Mine Explosion, July 30, 1864, 11 killed, 24 wounded, and 18 missing; and at the Weldon Railroad, August 19, 1864, 7 killed, 12 wounded, and 1 missing. The regiment was under fire at the battle on the Boydton Road, October 27, 1864, with a slight loss in wounded and missing, but none killed. It suffered severely while in the trenches before Petersburg, where for several weeks it lost men daily, either killed or wounded. During its eleven months in the field the hard fighting cost the regiment 614 men in killed and wounded, aside from the missing or prisoners. It was mustered out of service June 4, 1865.
