Company I
Company I was recruited during
the autumn of 1861, and most of its initial membership mustered
into service on December 13, 1861. Most of the men of this company
were originally recruited from Boston, with particularly large
contingents coming from Roxbury, Cambridge, and Jamaica Plain.
The first commander was Captain George F. McDonald, a Boston actor
who served only until April 2, 1862, at which point he resigned
from the service. Altogether, a total of 126 men served in Company
I between December 13, 1861 and the end of 1864, at which point
it was consolidated with the remnants of Company E as part of
the 5- company battalion then being organized for the regiment's
final months of service.
Four men from Company I were
commissioned from the ranks as officers. Most notable among these
was Patrick W. Black, a 28-year old law student who had served
previously with the 9th Massachusetts-- another Irish regiment,
as a Sergeant. He was immediately commission as 2nd Lieutenant
upon his enlistment with the regiment in March of 1862, and within
two months, he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant, and then Captain.
He finished the war as Captain of Company D and Brevet Major U.S.
Volunteers.
The remaining three men who
attained commissioned ranks enlisted at the formation of the regiment
in 1861. James O. Carruthers was a 19-year old clerk when he enlisted
as a Sergeant in the 28th. He was promoted to 1st Sergeant of
Company I in May, 1862, and then commissioned 2d Lieutenant in
July. By December, he had attained the rank of 1st Lieutenant
of Company D. He was discharged for disability in August 1863.
Charles V. Smith was a clerk from Northampton when he enlisted
as a Corporal. Just before being wounded at Antietam, he was promoted
to Sergeant. The day after the assault at Fredericksburg, he was
commissioned 2nd Lieutenant from Sergeant Major. The following
June, he was commissioned Captain of Company B. He was mortally
wounded at the Wilderness the following year. Charles P. Briens,
a 24-year old Jamaica Plain bootmaker enlisted as a Sergeant and
was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1862, but resigned soon
afterwards.
Of the 126 men who served in
Company I between 1861 and 1864, some 15 enlisted men were killed
or died of battle wounds, 10 enlisted men died by accident or
disease, and 3 enlisted men died as prisoners. Altogehter, this
accounts for a total loss of 32 men or 25% of the entire company.
