He was then Major and a Capt. In the 2 nd N.J. He was wounded and taken prisoner to Richmond, escaped. Col. Murphy was then in command of the 10 th , but often left and placed Tay in command. On March 13 th wrote, Col. Murphy of our Regiment resigned. He thinks in all probability that I will succeed him. Tuesday, March 24, 1863 Bought a bay horse of Mr. Munsby for $200. Monday, March 30, 1863 No news of the Colonelcy of our regiment. I hope one will be appointed soon. I dislike to do all the work without any of the pay or glory. Wednesday, April 1, 1863 Received word today that Colonel Henry O. Ryerson of the 23 rd N.J. had been transferred to this regiment and overlanghed me. Probably a political, I not being Copperhead enough to suit the New Jersey Rebels. So nought to be.

No orders yet. 7 days rations 3 cooked and 100 rounds of ammunition per man, 40 in boxes. April 19 th received orders to board transports for Fortress Monroe and report to Maj Gen. Dix.

The enemy who are under the command of Longstreet and D.H. Hier are evidently on their way to reinforce Lee on the Rappahanock who is hard pressed by Genl Hooker although reports say Genl. Stoneman of the Army of the Potomac has cut the bridges in Lee's rear so that reinforcements cannot be sent to him. May 7, 1863 wrote, Hooker reported to have surrounded Lee and to be whipping him badly. But on the 9 th he wrote, The news of the defeat of Hooker and the recrossing of the Rapahanock to his old camp was rec't at Suffolk today.

Of N.J. 1 st and Wildrick Fleck of N.J. 23 rd as being killed in the last battle (Battle of Chancellorsville).

Our Regt. relieved the Mass. 6 th and drove them through the woods in front with loss on our side of 6 men wounded. After destroying the rails near Causville the fell back and he wrote, During the march quite an exciting incident occurred. The 170 th N.Y. took fright at something and a general stampede occurred during which 1 or our men and two of theirs was killed. The 10 th and several other units were left as rear guard at Deserted House while the rest of the army went on to destroy more rail lines at Winson. Wrote on May 22, Still at Deserted House guarding left flank of our army. Woods around us full of guerillas. Wrote on June 19 of dismantling Suffolk fortifications and wrote, Wrote out my resignation as Lieut. Col. Of 10 th N.J. causes as stated in Document...Yet the real cause is the arrogance and most ungentlemanly conduct of Col. H.O. Ryerson who neglects no opportunity to hurt my feeling both as a gentleman and as a soldier. Then on 20 th wrote, Forwarded my resignation endorsed by Col. Ryerson as follows€¦ Approved and respectfully forwarded.. The circumstances related within I know are correct as far as relate to service I having served with him in the 2 nd N.J. Vols since the outbreak of the rebellion until his promotion to this regiment (sign) H. R. Ryerson Col. Condg. Col. Tay's regiment and its Brigade were the last to leave Suffock on July 3 rd. . July 9 th wrote News of our victory in Tenn. As well as the fall of Vicksburg causes much joy in the Army. Regiment embarked on steamer Maple Leaf for Washington on July 12 th . Once in Washington took trains for Philadelphia. Wrote in Philadelphia on the 20 th , The object of having our regiment stationed here appears to be to protect the authorities while enforcing the conscription actâ€¦ Col. Ryerson has left, leaving Lt. Col. Tay in charge and he hates being staioned in city where most of the regiment is from as both officers and enlisted men are going absent without leave or showing up drunk, total chaos.

350	Lt. Col. Tay 10 N.J. Infantry Prisoner of War Diary	Lot of two, including a leather bound with 116 lined pages with manuscript penciled text in Tay's hand. The 1 st three quarters is cross written (over-written at a 90 degree angle from original text) making the account large. This diary begins long before his capture at Winchester with dates from 1863. The ist page is a list of 21 battles with dates ending with Winchester Aug. 17, 1864. In April of 63 the Regiment was sent from Washington to Suffolk to assist in stopping a Confederate advance in that area. The diary covers the battles of the Army of the Potomac from the Wilderness to Petersburg with the regiment being in the thick of many of those fights. Col. Tay and a company of his men were capture by CSA General Gordon's forces at Wilderness but were rescued by Phil Sheridan's cavalry the next day while being transported to the rear. The diary covers all these battles in some detail and the regiment had heavy casualties at many, including Cold Harbor and Strasburg. The next battle at Winchester is written of in some detail as it was here that Col. Tay and about 400 men from the regiment were captured by CSA General Zebulon York's 14 th La. Infantry. The 10 th left Washington with 600 men fit for service. After the battle of Winchester the Regiment had only 80 men fit for duty, a fact which shows more clearly than any words the brutality of the campaigns from the Wilderness to Winchester that the Regiment underwent. The morning after being captured Tay had his first and last good meal until his release at breakfast on the 18 th with General York, who he described as a gracious host and gentleman. His and his men treatment went rapidly down hill from that point. Describes their march to the rear having to travel 15 to 25 miles a day by foot, passing through Strasburg, New Market, Lynchbury R.R. where he, 15 other officers and 370 enlisted men were briefly held with the officers confined in a vermin infested guard house. The Capt. Of the guard called on them on the 29 th of Aug. and told them that Gen. Early had given orders that they were to remain under guard and that is the reason they were not being sent to Richmond and offered to let them take a walk around the town under guard. There follows a list of 14 of the officers that he was being held with, most from the 10 th but including other vol. And regular regiments of infantry and cavalry. Tay was the highest ranking with the next being capt in rank. Writes of the weather turning colder and laments the fact that they have only light summer uniforms and no blankets, having left all there camp equipment including their overcoats behind before going into battle at Winchester. On Sept 2 nd the officers and men were taken to train and transported to Lynchburg, Va. Tay appears to have been in poor health and wrote on Sept. 5 th I was quite sck all day did not sit up at all any of day. Writes of some men being sent to Richmond and new arrivals. Follows a 4 page list of mess supplies with heading Straunton, & Lynchburg,Va. With dated Aug. 5-29 and type of food stuffs. Follows 8 pages list of names. Near the front of diary is a pencil drawing of what appears to be the 6 th Army Corps Badge. The next diary is 7 Â½ x 3 Â¼ inch with marbled wraps with 33 pages of penciled text, beginning Jan. 1 st , 1865 and ending Sept. 9th, 1865. This diary covers the last part of Tay's captivity. This diary starts with the heading Prisoner of War at Danville, Va. With little prospect of exchange. Lt. Murphy and myself being unaccustomed to eating corn bread for dinner on New Years day...Everything appears to me to be dark and dreary. This is the 4th new year I have spent away from home, and probably the last. Writes of exchanging $10 in greenbacks for 150 Rebel rags. On Jan. 31, 1865 Tay wrote the following, To day I am 29 years of age. This is indeed the most gloomy birth day I have experienced. Sick and in prison, far away from home...no prospect of release in a suffering condition for want of proper food and clothing, no means of getting anything or even communicating with those from homeâ€¦ Wednesday Feb. 15 he wrote, Sergt. Wright in an order which was received by Col. Smith to day to send 1000 prisoners with Âll the officers to Richmond on Friday for exchange with the balance to be taken Saturday. This news causes much joy and excitement and now at a very late hour at night all is noise and confusion. Friday Feb. 17 All the officers left the prison and marched to the cars through the deep mud and heavy rain. Many of them marched bare footed. At 11 o'clock to night rode all night in the wet, tightly packed cars an arrived in Richmond almost morning. Saturday Feb. 18 Took quarters in the far famed Libby Prison, which I hear promises to be the best officers prison in the confederacy. Charley Murphy rec'd a box to day from home and Kindly supplied me with a clean suit of underclothing. Wednesday Feb. 22/65 Washington's Birthday and the day of my deliverance from the hands of the rebels. Happiest day of my life...The experience of the last six months, the most inhuman treatment I have rec'd makes me very, very anxious to get to my regiment again and at their head to seek revenge for the mutilation that many of the men have been subjected too. Should it never be in my power to right our great wrongs, God surely will not allow them to go unpunished. Feb. 23 he arrived at Annapolis Maryland and was finally free again. The remaining diary covers his rejoining his regiment and problems with the acting Commander, home leave and receiving his trunk with all his equipment that was left at their camp near Winchester. Saturday Apr. 15 he wrote, The murder of the President of the U.S. Abraham Lincoln last night at Ford's Theater Washington by J. Wilkes Booth and the attempted assignation of W.H. Seward Sec. Of State causes much grief throughout the Country. Interestingly Tay had just been to see a play in N.Y.C., Hamlet starring Edwin Booth, John's older brother.
