Soldiers of the 9th Battery Mass. Vols.

The 9th Battery Mass. Vols. had 334 different soldiers. Below is a list of 355 soldiers (21 never joined) compiled from four sources:

The primary soldier list comes from the Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors and Marines in the Civil War (MSSMCW) book. A soldier appears in the source if a "X" mark is in the column. If there are name deviations from the MSSMCW book, these are also noted in the columns. Examples: Edward G. Austin is listed as Edward J. Austin in the Record of the Massachusetts Volunteers 1861-1865 (RMV) book and Orren C. Hussey is listed as Orin C. Hussy in the History of the Ninth Massachusetts Battery (History Ninth) book. The NPS Civil War Soldiers and Sailor System (NPS) also lists alternate names used by the individual. Example John Crosson is listed as John Crossen and he had an alternate name of John Crosen.

Also noted are the following four abbreviations: NJ - never joined the battery, RR - rejected recruit, AS - absent sick, and DNJ -deserted never joined. There are 21 in these categories.

A list of 9th Battery Mass. Vols. soldiers who also served with other regiments or batteries can be found here.

Notes:

  1. William Park provided an undated list (after December 18, 1869 as G.A.R. Post 113 is identified and that this its date of charter) to The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Commissioner on War Records concerning members of the 9th Mass. Battery Light Artillery. The soldiers with this note were identified as never joining the Battery.

  2. Edward G. Austin is listed in MSSMCW as Edward Y. Austin in the list of 1st Battery Mass. Vols.

  3. Ralph C. Blaisdale is listed as Blaisdell. Correct spelling determined by a hand written letter from him.

  4. Michael Sheehan went by the name Michael Shean when enlisted with the 3rd Mass. Inf. (MSSMCW).

  5. Baker lists Byron Porter as never joining. The William Park report to The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Commissioner on War Records report identify Byron Porter as never mustered in as he died Sept. 8 or 19, 1863. A letter from David Brett's daughter Carrie, from Convalescent Camp Va., states, "There were a great many newly made graves there and but two Mass. soldiers. One belonged to fathers battery. His name was 'Biron Porter'. He is amoung the last that was buried and undoudtedly sickened and died in the hospital since I have been here." This is consistent with the other three listed sources.

  6. John A. Jackes went by the name John A. Jacks when enlisted with the 6th Mass. Inf. (MSSMCW).

  7. Listed as Burdette on his grave stone.

  8. The Card Records of Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans, CA. 1879-CA. 1903 states that Meyer also went by the name John D. Miesegaes. The cards list him as Herman Meyer.

  9. The Hampton National Cemetery records list Henry Noble as an alias. The Nationwide Gravesite Locator lists him as "Burnham, Henry, Buried at: Section C Site 8302". Interment.net lists him as "Burnham, Henry, d. 05/07/1902, PVT B 9 BATTY MASS LA, Plot: 8302" and "Noble, Henry, d. 05/07/1902, CO B 9TH BATTY MASS LT ARTY, See Card Burnham, Henry, Plot: 8302". His pension record is also recorded under the name of Henry Burnham; application number 952282 and certificate number 686069 filed in the state of Maine.
