Civil War, 1st Lieut. Co.G 65 OVI
From the Civil War pension files: His mother Lucretia Gregg applied and received a pension for Clark S. Gregg.
Mustered in: Nov. 26, 1861
Died of disease at St. Louis May 9, 1862
Brigade L---- testified from personal knowledge: Clark was taken sick typhoid melarial fever in camp en route from Pittsburg Landing to Corinth in April 1862 & was placed on a hospital Steamer for St. Louis.
From the unit history:
On the 13th of January, 1862, the brigade broke camp, and passing through Bardstown, Springfield, Lebanon, Haysville, Danville and Stanford, Kentucky, arrived at Hall's Gap on the 24th. The regiment was ordered to corduroy the roads. The labor was severe, the country being swampy; and the miasma engendered disease to such degree that many of the men died. On the 7th of February the regiment marched to Lebanon, and on the 12th embarked on cars for Green River. It arrived at Camp Wood, near Munfordsville, on the 13th, where it remained until the 23d, when it crossed Green River on the Railroad bridge, and passing Bowling Green, Franklin, Tyree Springs and Goodlettsville, arrived at Nashville on the 13th of March, and went into camp two and a half miles south-east of the city. On this march the troops were forced, at times, to march through the woods and on by-roads, as the Rebels had destroyed the turnpike in places. The men were compelled frequently to transport the contents of the baggage wagons on their backs over steep hills; and in one instance, after marching three days, the regiment had only advanced twelve miles.
On the 29th of March, the regiment, with General Garfield in command of the brigade, marched by way of Columbia to Savannah, where it arrived on the 6th of April, and on the morning of the 7th it moved on steamer to Pittsburg Landing. At four o'clock P.M. it was on the battlefield of Shiloh, but it did not become actively engaged.
