 Killed Company C, 93rd Regiment, 06 May 1864 in Wilderness, VA
  From Minerva, History of a Town in Essex County, New York:
  When Thompson Sacket Barnes sold an interest in his business to each of his 3 oldest sons, Dennis operated the grist mill (1860)
  In 1861 Lincoln called called for 75,000 volunteers. After the First Bull Run defeat the need for a more concerted effort became clear. Dennis Barnes, one of the operators of the grist mill and lumbe ring business in Olmsteadville, recruited a company, most farmers in summer and lumbermen in winter, strong outdoorsmen and hand with a gun. Dennis was elected Captain. He sent to Warrensburg for a ca det (Charles D. Gray) to come and drill the recruits. They marched and drilled on "federal flats" and in December 1861 were mustered in Albany as Company C of the 93rd Regiment--"The Morgan Rifles" (i n honor of Gov. Edwin c. Morgan)
  The company served as headquarters guard for General George MacClellan until his final release following Antietam. They then guarded the headquarters of both Generals Burnside and Hooker. In May 186 4 the company was assigned to General Burney's division of Hancock's 2nd army corp. U. S. Grant (commander in chief) led them through the Wilderness campaign where Dennis was killed on the 2nd day. Lt . Charles Barnes was severely wounded.
  note: The roster of Minerva men also included Private James Barnes and Private Edward Talbot.
  From Ancestors and Descendants of Capt. Benjamin Barnes:
  Proved himself an able and humane officer. Was in command of the regiment while the colonel and Jamor were prisoners and at one time commanded the brigade. Was killed on the morning of May 6, 1864, th e second day of the bloody battle of the Wilderness and lies buried in an [--?--] grave, but his fame as a kind and considerate Christian officer will be cherished as long as there is a comrade of th e 93rd Regiment living, and his memory will go down to posterity as one of the noble martyrs who gave his life for his country.
  Among the principal events in which the regiment participated were the siege of Yorktown, Lee's Mills, Williamsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Colter Station and the Wild erness. An interesting book could be written of this man's noble nature and deeds.

Was in command of the regiment while the colonel and majo r were prisoners and at one time commanded the brigade. Was killed on the morning of May 6th, 1964, the second day of the bloody battle of the Wilderness, and lies buried in an unknown grave but his f ame as a kind, considerate, and Christian officer will be cherished as long as there is comrade of the 93d Regiment living and his memory will go down to posterity as one of the noble martyrs who gav e his life for his country.

Among the principal events in which they participated were the siege of Yorktown, Lee's Mil ls, Williamsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Colter Station and the Wilderness.
