Both CHARLES J. and THEODORE F. FIELD served in the Civil War for New Jersey. CHARLES J.FIELD died in the Battle of Dallas, GA., but I have not been able to find one thing on his younger brother, THEODORE F. FIELD after the Civil War records below. I am trying to discover if THEODORE has descendants and if the sister, SARAH FIELD, does too. Also trying to discover the parentage of their parents and their mother's maiden name and her ancestry. Thanks for your help. According to CHARLES J. FIELD'S daughter's, KATHERINE ADELE FIELD, death certificate he was born in Philadelphia, PA. Also, on one census found for THEODORE FIELD he too was listed as having been born in Philadelphia

NEW JERSEY VOLUNTEERS.
Twenty-fifth Regiment - Infantry - Volunteers.
The Twenty-fifth Regiment was organized under the provisions of an Act of Congress, approved July 22, 1861, and under existing orders governing the enrollment of troops. A draft for ten thousand four hundred a nd seventy-eight men, to serve for nine months, unless sooner discharged, had been made upon the Governor of this State by the President of the United States, August 4, 1862, and soon after full instructions for conducting it were received from the War Department. The draft so ordered, was not to interfere with orders governing recruiting, and all enlistments up to September 1st, 1862, would be placed to the credit of the State. A general desire manifested and expressed by the State authorities as well as by prominent citizens throughout the State to avoid the draft, gave an enthusiasm to recruiting which caused the entire quota to be raised by voluntary enlistment, and in Camp by the 3d day of September, 1862, the time appointed for commencing the draft. The organization of the Regiment was immediately commenced, and soon after fully completed, officered and equipped. It was then duly mustered into the service of the United States for nine months. Companies A, C, E, H and K, were mustered in at Trenton, N. J., September 18, 1862, by Frank D. Howell, First Lieutenant Seventeenth Infantry, United States Army. Companies B, D, F, G and I, were mustered in at Beverly, N. J., September 26, 1862, by William B. Royall, Captain Fifth Cavalry, United States Army. The headquarters of the Regiment was established at Beverly, from which place it left the State, October 10, 1862, en route to Washington, D. C., having a full complement of men. Officers, 38; Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates, 960. Total, 998. Upon arrival at Washington, it was assigned to the Second Brigade, Casey's Division, Defences of Washington, and went into Camp on East Capitol Hill, and immediately began to prepare for active service. It remained in this vicinity until the 30th day of November, when under orders it marched to the front and joined the Army of the Potomac, having been assigned to the Ninth Army Corps. On the 11th of February, 1863, the Regiment in connection with the Ninth Corps was detached from the Army of the Potomac, and proceeded to Newport News, Va. On the 13th of March it proceeded to Suffolk, Va., to assist in repelling a threatened invasion by the enemy at this point. The Regiment continued its organization and remained in active service until the expiration of its term of service, when it was ordered to return to New Jersey for discharge. The Regiment was mustered out of service at Beverly, N. J., June 20, 1863, by Washington I. Newton, Major Second Cavalry, United States Army.
The Regiment was first attached to the Second Brigade, Casey's Division, Defences of Washington; then to the First Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps.
The Regiment took part in the following engagements: Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 13 and 14, '62; Near Suffolk, Va., May 3, '63.

In the Field, near Allatoona Creek, Ga., June 12, 1864.
CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit the following report pursuant to orders from headquarters Second Division, Twentieth Corps:
I assumed command of the Second Brigade on the 22d of May, 1864. May 23, the brigade moved at 6 a.m. toward and across the Etowah River and bivouacked. May 24, marched at 6 a.m. in the direction of Burnt Hickory, passing through that place and went into camp about one mile beyond. May 25, marched at 6.15 a.m. toward and across Pumpkin Vine Creek; had proceeded about one mile and a half in the direction of Dallas when the advance of our division was suddenly attacked. The brigade was formed in support of the First Brigade at right angles with the road leading to Dallas--the One hundred and nineteenth New York Volunteers and One hundred and thirty-fourth New York Volunteers right of road, Thirty-third New Jersey Volunteers in support; Seventy-third Pennsylvania Volunteers and One hundred and ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers left of the road, One hundred and fifty-fourth New York Volunteers in support. Remained in this position for one hour. The Third Brigade came up and formed on left of road and parallel thereto. The brigade then formed in continuation of line of the Third Brigade. At 6 p.m. formed line of battle at right angles with the road, four regiments on right and two on left of road, and moved forward to the attack, the Third Brigade in advance, First Brigade forming second line, Second Brigade third line. After moving in line about one mile and a half, the last half mile under a severe fire of musketry and canister, it became so dark that it was impossible to proceed farther. The line was therefore halted, retaining the position gained. May 26, at daylight the Third Brigade moved to the right of the position held by them during the night, leaving a gap which I filled with the One hundred and ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, who built breast-works and held the position until a change in the line was made, which, when completed, brought the Third Brigade on the right, Second Brigade in the center, and the First Brigade on the left. This position was held during the 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st instant.
At noon on June 1 were relieved by Colonel Walcutt's brigade, of the Fifteenth Corps, and then moved to the left about four miles and went into camp. June 2, at 11.30 a.m. moved two miles farther to the left, in rear of the Twenty-third Corps.
Remained in this position during the 3d, 4th, and 5th instant. June 6, marched at 6 a.m. in the direction of Big Shanty, crossing Allatoona Creek, and went into camp near that place, about three and a half miles from Acworth, where the brigade remained June 7, 1864. From the night of May 25 until noon of June 1 this command was constantly under fire. I cannot speak in too high terms of the gallant conduct of both of-ricers and men during this time. Hardly a night passed but that they were under arms and at all times required to be on the alert, besides performing heavy fatigue duty in throwing up breast-works <ar73_208> and strengthening their position in front of the First Brigade.
I regret to announce the death of Capt. Charles J. Field, Thirty-third New Jersey Volunteers, who died from the effects of wounds received May 28. He was an officer of great promise, and his loss will be deeply felt by his command.
Lieuts. C. L. Barnhart and D. P. Horton, One hundred and fifty-fourth New York Volunteers, and Lieut. Robert Moore, One hundred and nineteenth New York Volunteers, were slightly wounded.
The casualties in the brigade were as follows: Seventy-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, 14 enlisted men wounded; One hundred and fifty-fourth New York Volunteers, 2 commissioned officers and 9 enlisted men wounded; Thirty-third New Jersey Volunteers, 1 commissioned officer and 5 enlisted men killed, 27 enlisted men wounded; One hundred and ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, 2 enlisted men killed and 16 enlisted men wounded; One hundred and thirty-fourth New York Volunteers, 5 enlisted men wounded; One hundred and nineteenth New York Volunteers, 1 commissioned officer and 8 enlisted men wounded, 1 enlisted man missing; total, 1 commissioned officer and 7 enlisted men killed, 3 commissioned officers and 79 enlisted men wounded, 1 enlisted man missing.
I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN T. LOCKMAN,
Colonel 119th New York Volunteers, Comdg. Brigade. Capt. THOMAS H. ELLIOTT,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
