Before the battle some members of Company C secured a cannon with a Sgt Lemmon in charge - he was latter killed at Gaines Mill as was the first sgt Thomas Goheen who was my ancestor. I have walked the battlefield and the area of the 3rd and it is interesting with their field of fire on the attacking forces. The captain of the company did not leave a written report that I can find. Do you have any knowledge of his report or other reports/letters?<br /><br />Thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475979796190668611.post-71201157806862450762014-06-17T21:28:56.295-04:002014-06-17T21:28:56.295-04:00Hello, thank you for your comment and question.

The link below will take you to the Google Books digital copy of the book and you can download it in PDF form or view it on their page. The regimental history has a whole chapter on Gaines Mill starting on page 87. <br /><br />http://books.google.com/books?id=lmwtAAAAYAAJ&dq=third%20pennsylvania%20reserves&pg=PP2#v=onepage&q=third%20pennsylvania%20reserves&f=false<br /><br />I hope this helps!

My ancestor, Thomas Goheen, was 1sgt of company C and he was either killed or mortally wounded. Very little is written on the 3rd at Gaines Mill. What was the color company of the regiment?
