COMPANY I OFFICERS at CRIPPLE CREEK
Hogan, Andrew J. 25 (1836 - 1886? ) Elected 2 Lt as the Company was being organized on 22 Apr 61 and by the time the officers were being mustered in on 5 Jun 61, he had been elected 1 Lt; Detailed to serve on fortifications at Camp Gauley in Aug 61; Served as Acting Capt from 12 Sep 61 Promoted to Capt on 22 Jan 62; Injured severely at Shiloh on 7 Apr 62, by a gun shot wound in the left hand in which "...the ball entered the metacarpal bones and came out behind the joint of the little finger--the bones of the hand were shattered and the lower end of the radius splintered" causing him to be confined to hospital for four months; On 25 Aug 62, he was sent to Cincinnati to arrest John Schockmann, a man wanted as a Deserter and a Bounty Jumper from Co I, but Schockmann assaulted Capt Hogan and the charge was added to the rest [Schockman would be executed on 23 Jun 63--the last full day at Cripple Creek]; Hogan was present with his Unit in Sep/Oct 62--the wound had healed, but with "...a good deal of swelling and great tenderness when the hand is hanging down"; He received at least one Leave of Absence during this time (one of them was the journey to arrest Schockmann in Aug 62) and eventually Hogan returned to his Command; Sgt William Busbey of Co H wrote in his diary on 14 Feb 63, "...Lou Snediker and Guthrie give Hogan a burlesque serenade last night...", but I don't know if it was in honor of Frday the 13th, Valentine's Day, or for no reason in particular; By 19 Aug (or the 9th or the 16th, depending on which notation you rely on), Hogan is in hospital in Nashville--an undated letter from Surgeon John Dickson asserts that Hogan's wound "...is now superating and shows evidence of necrosis of the bone"; By Sept/Oct 63, he was Commander of the Convalescent Camp, which was followed by a Order by J. C. Peterson on 26 Jan 64 that assigned Hogan as Commander of the 47th Invalid Corps (which would be renamed the 179th Co of the 1st Battalion of the Veterans' Reserve Corps); Unfortunately, when Hogan was examined for a post as a Commissioned Officer of the VRC on 28 May 64, he was turned down; So, on 1 Jun 64, Hogan was discharged from the Service upon a Surgeon's certificate of Disability; He filed for an Invalid's pension in 1867; When his widow, Josephine, filed for her pension on 24 Apr1886, the notation on his file shows him as a Maj in the 114th USC Inf, as well as the Capt of Co I of the 1 KY
McChesney, William R. 29 (1832 - ) Mustered in from civilian life on 9 Sep 62 as 1 Lt; Lt McChesney was the first to admit that his appointment was done solely as a favor to Brig Genl Woodruff (a family friend?), and not based on any military experience or skills on McChesney's part; McChesney was immediately placed on Detached Duty on Genl Woodruff's staff, which meant he was not present in the camp during his tenure as 1 Lt; When Gen Woodruff resigned and McChesney was obliged to join his Regiment on a daily basis, it became obvious that he did not have the respect of the men, nor did McChesney care for the rigors of camp life--made all the more untenable by a medical condition variously referred to as Urethritis, Gleet, and an Enlarged Prostate; Consequently, Lt McChesney resigned 17 Feb 63 and his resignation was accepted forthwith
[McKee, William James 19 (1843 - ) Mustered in on 5 Jun 61 as a Pvt; Promoted to Sgt Maj of Regiment on 16 Sep 62; Promoted to 1 Lt of Co I on 18 Feb 63; Was put in command of the Company 15 Aug 63; On 8 Dec 63, he applied for a Leave of Absence to see his ailing father and, as Col Enyart gave the request his approval, he wrote this comment, "McKee has been a most faithful and active officer. None better in the Regiment"; He was mustered out with the Regiment on 18 Jun 64--See his Bio on the 1 KY Field & Staff age]
Note: James Farran was the 2 Lt of Co I, but had been severely wounded at Stones River, requiring his hospitalization for many months and his eventual transfer to the VRC--a note to this effect appears on the "In Hospital" Section of the Page for Co D of the 1 KY, so I will not repeat the information here (This way, I won't accidentally count him twice in my statistics)

Furman living in Grundy Co, TN at the time of the 1890 Veterans' Census was a Private in a NY regiment, so I don't know where he was living

Hardesty, William H. 20 (1840 - 1886) Born in KY, his family moved to Kansas City, MO when he was a boy; In his youth, he did a lot of traveling and held a number of diverse jobs--mining in Denver CO, clerking in his father's store in St. Louis, working in a pharmacy, traveling through the South, and eventually ending up in Cincinnati in 1861, where he was mustered into the 1 KY on 5 Jun 61 as a Pvt; Appointed Cpl on 14 Sep 61 and promoted to Sgt on 10 Dec 62; He was wounded slightly twice (once in the skirmish near Corinth, Mississippi on 21 May 62; Mustered out 18 Jun 64; He married Mollie V.

OTHER PERSONNEL from Co. I at CRIPPLE CREEK
Hoffmaster, John 25 (1838 - ) Mustered in on 5 Jun 61 as Wagoner; Detailed duty as Division Wagonmaster under QM Fee beginning Aug (15th? 25?) 62--however, his name appears as "Present" as often as "Absent" on the Muster Roll Cards from Aug 62 - Dec 63, so I would say he was camped at Cripple Creek with his Unit, but did a lot of traveling within the Division; Beginning in Dec 63, he was Detailled as Wagonmaster of the Ammunition Train, as per Genl Stanley; Mustered out on 18 Jun 64; There is a John Hoffmeister, born in OH about 1837, living as a Clerk with the Blinn Family in Cincinnati (and perhaps married to a woman named Sarah) in 1860, but this is such a common name that it is hard to know if this is our John

Harper, John 20 (1841 - ) Born in Wales, he was a Coal Miner in civilian life; Mustered in 5 Jun 61; Wounded (severely?) in shoulder in skirmish near Camp Gauley, (W)VA on 12 Sep 61; Hospitalized for the Sep/Oct 61 Muster Roll, the card for Nov/Dec does not state whether he is Absent or Present, he is Present for Jan/Feb 62 (and $5 is deducted as a fine for some unnamed infraction), but he is Absent in Hospital again for Mar/Apr 62; He is Present with his Company until 3 (or 5) Apr 63, when he is given detached duty as an Ambulance Driver; [So, he would have been at Cripple Creek for a few weeks]; On 1 Sep 63, he is recommended for the Veterans' Relief Corps and supplied with a second Descriptive Roll to replace one that was apparently mislaid by someone--on this one, the note appears "...he has invariable been a good soldier and an upright man."; He is described as being 5' 9" with light hair, gray eyes, and a light complexion; His transfer to the VRC is dated 1 Sep 63, but another form is dated 30 Sep 63;

Logan, Thomas 18 (1843- ) Mustered in on 5 Jun 61; Discharged 3 Oct 61 based on a Surgeon's certificate that he had a "rupture" (hernia?), but he apparently did not wait for all the paperwork to be made out, so his discharge was not valid; Then during his absence, he enlisted in not one, but TWO other regiments (the 124th OH and the 23rd KY)--I don't know that he was trying to collect a bounty from both regiments as a bonus for enlisting, (a crime called bounty jumping), but he was arrested in Jun 63 and brought back to the 1 KY; He would have been at Cripple Creek when John Schockmann was executed for the crimes of Desertion and Bounty Jumping (and he had only tried to join TWO regiments at the same time, not THREE the way Logan did); Apparently, Schockman's execution did not serve to keep men (kids!) like Logan from deserting, since on 6 Sept 63, Thomas Logan once again deserted (from a place called Squirrel Town, TN) and, apparently, was not caught afterward
McCauley, Alexander 22 (1842 - 1910) Born in 1 Apr 1842 KY; Mustered in on 5 Jun 61; Mustered out on 18 Jun 64 by telegram; Name listed as McCauly, McCanby, etc.; Married Margaret [possibly Margaret McEnemy in Cass Co, IN] in 1870; In 1888, his California Voter Registration found him as a Cook in Santa Clara, CA; Invalid's Pension filed 1890 from California; His 1892 Voter Registration in San Francisco described him as 5' 7 3/4" tall, Green eyes, Brown hair, Scar under left eye, Occupation Cook; In 1900, he was a Hotel Keeper in San Francisco, CA and in 1910, he was a Farmer in Los Sngeles County, CA; Died 30 Nov 1910 (or 1 Dec 1910) in Los Angeles Co, CA of Valular Disease of Heart; He is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA; Margaret filed for her Widow's Pension in Mar 1911 from California
Meyer, Martin 27 (1834 - 1902) Born in France; Mustered in on 5 Jun 61; Detached service in the Pioneer Corps beginning on 20 Nov 62; Sick in Hospital in Murfreesboro in Mar / Apr 63; Returned to his company (at Cripple Creek?) on 16 May 63; Sick in Hospital in Nashville between July and Oct 63; Some confusion arises between Nov / Dec 63 and May / Jun 64 when he is mistakenly thought to be Absent Without Leave but is on some sort of Special Daily Duty (for the Pioneer Corps?); Mustered out on 18 Jun 64; Filed for an Invalid's Pension in 98; Buried in the Vine Hill Cem; His widow, Maria, filed for her Pension in 1903
Morton, Joseph B., Jr. 27 (1834? - 1864?) Mustered in on 5 Jun 61; He forfeited one month's pay in the Jan / Feb 62 Muster Roll (I don't know why); Left in hospital in Corinth, Miss on 12 Jun; Mustered out on 18 Jun 64; This is where the definitive info on Joseph B Morton, Jr. ends; Ancestry and Find-A-Grave link him with a Joseph Morton who was born in Jan 1834 and died 30 Sep 64 and was buried in the Westwood Baptist Church Cem in Cincinnati; Here is the problem: the Joseph B Morton who died 30 Sep 64 was listed in the Andersonville Prison Death Register as J B Morton of the Ring Cav, Co A who died of Febrile Typhus; There are about 4 more Morton men who could be our Joseph, especially since the US Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles contains the notation that the Joseph B Morton of the 1 KY survived the War, so, once again, the Joseph who died in 1864 is not the right man
