RECORDS OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL Company "G" Twelfth Regiment W.Va. Infantry
Mustered in August 27, 1862, Wheeling, West Virginia by B. H. Hill, Mustering Officer. Mustered
out June 16, 1865, at Richmond, VA by Jere Horton, 2nd Lieutenant, 34th Massachusetts
Volunteer Infantry and A. C. of Mass, Independent Division 24th Army Corps pursuant to order of
War Department of May 29, 1865. MOFFATT, James W. - Captain; 37; Aug 27, 1862, Wheeling,
WV; June 16, 1865; Elected Captain at Organization of the Company. Engaged in action at
Winchester, Virginia June 13, 14 and 15, 1863. Mustered out at Richmond, Virginia. (Note -
commissioned Aug 25, 1862) (68) When the regiment started on the raid by way of Strasburg, a
part of it was left behind at Moorefield. This detail of about 75 men, and about the same number of
the Tenth West Virginia Infantry, the latter under command of Capt. Darnell of the latter regiment,
and the whole under command of Capt. J. W. Moffatt of Company G of the Twelfth, struck tents
and started for Winchester with a wagon train of supplies for Cluseret's command, leaving
Moorefield the 28th. At Wordensville, four miles out, they were attacked by Rebel cavalry. The
Wheeling Intelligencer of June -, 1865, in a sketch of the history of the Twelfth, said of this affair:
"They were attacked by about 300 of Imboden's cavalry, and, notwithstanding the largely superior
force of the enemy, Capt. Moffat repulsed them handsomely, driving them several miles, and
conducted the train safely to Gen. Cluseret at Winchester." (69) The Intelligencer's statement
regarding this affair is not strictly correct, for the Rebels captured 52 horses from the train. No
blame attaches to Capt. Moffatt, however, as he was a brave and faithful officer. (70) After this
attack and repulse Capt. Moffatt and his train-guard had no further trouble. On the route they
crossed the south branch of the Potomac, passed through Romney, crossed Lost River, passed
through Blue Gap, crossed Capon River, and on the fifth day out, January 1st, 1863, arrived at
Winchester, the train-guards of the Twelfth rejoining here their regiment. This was the day on which
the President's Emancipation Proclamation was to take effect, but strange to say the colored
people of Winchester seemed utterly ignorant of the fact that there was such a thing as any
proclamation of freedom. (191) He told me during the conversation that Gilmore was to take
thirty men and he was to be one of them and blow up Back Creek bridge. I placed him under close
guard, and soon as daylight came I sent a message to Col. McReynolds giving him all the essential
details of the foregoing account, and asked him to send a detachment of men sufficient to capture
Gilmore's men; requesting him also to send an officer of the Twelfth West Virginia regiment in
charge of the detachment; and if my memory serves me rightly, he sent Capt. Moffatt, of Company
G. Return of Capt. James W. Moffatt's Company "G," 12th Regiment West Va. Infantry
Volunteers, stationed at Stevenson's Depot, on the 14th day of December, 1864, together with a
complete record of the changes that have taken place since its organization. (Signed,) James W.
Moffatt, Capt. Commanding Company. --------------------------------------------------------------- In the 1870
WV-Harrison County census (enumerated November 28, 1870), James William Moffatt is a farmer,
in Clay Towship, with real estate valued at $7,000 and personal property valued at $1,500. They
are in the Clarksburg Post Office district.
