• Notes

  Albert Augustus Sherman was living with his parents in Uxbridge, MA in 1850 according to census records. The following information has been excerpted from "A HISTORY OF THE FIRST REGIMENT OF MASSACHUSETTS CAVALRY VOLUNTEERS" by Brevet Colonel Benjamin Crowninshield, (1891) SHERMAN Albert A. Sergt. Age 24. Uxbridge. M. Sept 25, 1861. Corp., Sergt. Wounded (slight) June 18, 1863, Middleburg. Wounded in head, Nov. 27, 1863, New Hope Church. Re-enlisted Jan. 31, 1864. Transferred to Co. F at consol. Of regt. Oct. 1864. Sergt. To Co. H Apr. 7, 1865. Exp. June 26, 1865. The Battle of Aldie, June 17th, 1863 Just as the enemy drove Captain Adams’ and Captain Tewksbury’s squadrons from the field, guidon-bearer Sherman of Company G took, also, the guidon of Company E, as the color-bearer was wounded. In the retreat he was followed by about thirty-five men of the 3rd Virginia, including several officers. They wanted the guidons. Mounted on a strange horse, his own having been disabled, the sergeant ran for his life and his colors, followed by all the party. Not knowing where the way led, he dashed through the woods, and was fired at all the way. The horse proved a good one, and he finally got away, saving the colors and capturing the officer in pursuit, whose horse fell and broke his neck in jumping a fence. On bringing his prisoner out of the woods he met the whole party that had been pursuing him. They had been captured by the 2nd New York.
