New York (NY) Volunteers in California
Vern Dander 10/17/06
Discussion
The primary source for the following information about the Stevenson’s 1st New York Volunteer Regiment (AKA as the 7th Regiment of Volunteers from New York) is Bancroft’s History of California, Volumes i through vii.There is a lengthy discussion about the Regiment in Volume v, pages 499-518.Within these pages, the notes on pages 503-504 list members of Regimental staffand individuals holding senior rank in the Regimental Companies.Bancroft also created a “Pioneer Register and Index, 1542-1848” which is located at the rear ofVolumes ii, iii, iv and v.
A secondary source was a “Transcription of the Joshua S. Vincent Diary” provided me by Richard Vincent, Joshua’s great-grandnephew.Joshua was a member of Company I of the Regiment and the diary reflects interesting personal reflections about its formation and deployment , mentioning various individuals in the process.
The approach taken was to first list all individuals found in Regimental staff or holding senior Company rank including their name, rank, and unit.The second step was to try and match the individuals in this list with surnames listed in the Pioneer Register and Index to determine if there was additional information about the individual listed in the former location in the latter location.If there was, the additional information was synopsised and added immediately following the name, rank, and unit information.If there were Volume-page references made by Bancroft (other than pages 499-518), these either were added after the synopsis or after the name, rank, and unit information if there was no synopsis.In this process, some additional names were found that were not in the Regimental staff /senior rank set.These were added to the list, but no attempt was made to glean all members of the Regiment from the Pioneer Register and Index.
The third step was to compare the results of the above with information in Joshua S. Vincent Diary to determine if there was additional information about an individual in this source.If there was, the additional information was synopsised and added immediately following the Bancroft information.
Codes:
Bancroft references are indicated by volume-page; i.e., ii-NNN.Volume v, pages 499-518 (the discussion about the Regiment ) are only referenced if I felt there was a need for clarification.The # symbol is used to indicate the individual is listed as member of Regimental staff or holding senior rank in Volume v, pages 503-504.Question marks (?) are used in cases where name, rank, or unit information was not found in the source.JSV-NN indicates the source is the transcribed diary of Joshua S. Vincent, with the N indicating the page number in the transcription.Consequently, the names of individuals without the the # symbol were derived from either the Pioneer Register and Index or the Joshua S. Vincent Diary.In cases where there were differences in spelling between the sources, or uncertainties on my part as to whether the a name belonged to the same individual or not, I used my own judgment, generally favoring the Pioneer Register and Index as the “best” source.The symbol “ * (N)” indicates the sequence Quartermaster-Sergeants filled this position on the Regimental Staff
