Goodspeed's 1884 "History Of Greene & Sullivan Counties" lists the
following on page 152:
Dnring the spring and early summer months of 1862, the enlistment of men in the county was
almost at a standstill, but under the heavy calls for men of July and August, the work was
revived. E. R. Stropes and William H. Johnson issued a call for volunteers in June. John
J. Starnes began raising a company in July, and by the 24th had secured
thirty-five men. He was assisted materially by Dr. E H. Sabin, who, during the entire war,
did as much as any other man in Greene County to facilitate clearing the county quotas. On
the 28th of July, the company of thirty-five men under Capt. Starnes left Worthington for
Terre Haute to join the Seventy-first Regiment. A public farewell was tendered the boys by
the citizens, Dr. Sabin delivering the address. The boys gave three cheers, and left with
banners flying.. The recruiting for the company was continued, the men joining the company
as fast as enlisted. The following is the personal record: John J. Starnes, Captain,
resigned January, 1863, by reason of wounds; John T. Owens, First
Lieutenant, transferred to Sixth Cavalry; Henry D. Watts, Second Lieutenant, transferred
to Sixth Cavalry; Robert D. Andrews; Samuel D. Scott, killed at Athens, Ga., August, 1864;
John D. Allen, discharged May, 1863; W. S. McGee; William Irvin, killed at Richmond, Ky.,
