Regimental History
MICHIGAN
Thirtieth infantry.
(One Year)
The Thirtieth was organized at Detroit, for a special
purpose. The confederate sympathizers and rebel refugees in
Canada were becoming so outspoken in their sentiments and so
bold in their actions that a raid was anticipated on the towns
and cities on the Michigan side of the river, and as a matter
of safety it was deemed expedient to organize a regiment of
Michigan troops to prevent the occurrence of such an event.
General Hooker, then in command of the department,
suggested to the Secretary of War that a regiment be recruited
to protect the border along the Detroit river and lakes from
any attack of confederates known to be in Canada, and the
Governor of Michigan was given authority by the Secretary of
War to organize a regiment whose term of service should be one
year for this purpose.
The Thirtieth was quickly recruited and mustered into
service Jan. 9, 1865, with an enrollment of 995 officers and
men.
The field, staff and line officers at organization were as
follows:
Colonel, Grover S. Wormer, Detroit. Lieutenant Colonel,
John D. Sumner, Charlestown. Major, Samuel E. Graves, Adrian.
Surgeon, John Willett, Flint. Assistant Surgeon, Theron T.
Hubbard, Saginaw. Second Assistant Surgeon, Owen Ellison, Jr.,
Jackson. Adjutant, Jerome W. Turner, Corunna. Quartermaster,
William W. Wade, Jonesville. Chaplain, Lyman H. Dean, Morenci.
A. Captain, William S. Atwood, Detroit. First
Lieutenant, Henry G. Wormer, Detroit. Second Lieutenant,
Elbert H. Pennell, Superior.
B. Captain, William Belles, Chesterfield. First
Lieutenant, Charles C. Lamb, Mt. Clemens. Second Lieutenant,
Barlow Davis, Pittsfield.
C. Captain, John M. Farland, Detroit. First Lieutenant,
George W. Finley, Oshtemo. Second Lieutenant, William J.
Clarke, Northville.
D. Captain, David D. Marshall, Tecumseh. First
Lieutenant, Simeon M. Babcock, Adrian. Second Lieutenant,
Willis C. Humphrey, Saline.
E. Captain, John Pigney, Eagle River. First Lieutenant,
William H Smith, Farmington. Second Lieutenant, William A.
Atchinson, Farmington
F. Captain, James T. Morgan, Muskegon. First Lieutenant,

Ansel J. Kane, Richland. Second Lieutenant, John N. Ferris,
Kalamazoo.

Lieutenant, George H. Brooks, Orangeville. Second Lieutenant,
Henry M. Mason, Flint.
K. Captain, Fayette Smith, Bridgeport. First Lieutenant,
Lasel C Brewer, Owosso. Second Lieutenant, John H. Barnes,
Portland.
The companies of the regiment were stationed along the
Detroit and St. Clair rivers and accomplished what the regiment
was organized for, and though no actual fighting was
participated in by the regiment its duty was performed
thoroughly and well.
The regiment continued in service until June 30, 1865,
when it was mustered out of service.
