About one-half of the men in battery D were enlisted in Ashland county;
hence the whole roll has been copied that the strength of the battery
may be exhibited. Corporal John B. Deshong was promoted to
second lieutenant of battery D, and was transferred and promoted to
first lieutenant in battery H; and Sergeant William Zimmerman was
promoted to first lieutenant and transferred to battery G, of colored
troops. Sergeant Joseph B. Charles was promoted to captain,
and took command of battery H, colored troops.
Battery D left Camp Dennison in November, and reported
to Brigadier General William Nelson, in
Kentucky, and marched with his command up to Big Sandy to Piketon.
It returned to Louisville, and thence to Mumfordsville. In
February, 1862, the battery reported at Nashville and moved to
Pittsburgh Landing, thence to Corinth, Mississippi, and to Athens,
Alabama. In September it returned to Mumfordsville, where it was
captured by the Confederate forces, paroled and sent to Camp Chase, and
exchanged in January, 1863. The battery was reorganized at
Columbus, Ohio, and joined the Third brigade at Lexington, Kentucky, in
March. In June, 1863, it went on a raid to East Tennessee, under
Colonel Saunders and burned many bridges, a large amount of
ordnance and commissary stores. In July it marched with General
Burnside to Cumberland Gap, which was captured. In August and
September the battery went on a raid into Kentucky and Tennessee, with
Colonel Woolford's cavalry. It next marched to Knoxville
and participated in the siege. The battery re-enlisted and was
sent on a thirty-days' veteran furlough to Ohio. The ranks being
recruited in January, 1864, it marched to Atlanta, Georgia, and joined
the forces of General Sherman, and was in all the engagements of
that campaign. It was also in the battles of Franklin and
Nashville, and went to Wilmington, North Carolina and was finally
mustered out at Cleveland, Ohio, July 15, 1865.
