The 109th Regiment of Illinois' Infantry was formed in August 1862.
The regiment was raised with companies from Jonesboro, Thebes, Anna,
Vienna,Mount Pleasant, Dongola, Pulaski and Union County. Sampson
enlisted with Company C of the 109th at Camp Anna in Anna, Illinois on
August l4th1862. He was mustered in on September 11, 1862 and assigned
the rank of Private. At 40, he was quite a bit older than the average
recruit. Several of Sampson's brother's in law, also served with him in the
109th(and later the llth). They were Francis Marion Underwood,
Daniel Underwood, John Asberry Underwood, and William Kenley Smith
(husband of Gabrilla Underwood). At the time of enlistment, he resided near
Alto Pass, Illinois. His family consisted of his 35 year old wife Margaret,and
children: 17 year old Mary Ann, 14 year old Jesse, 13 year old Jimmy,9
year old Serena, 6 year old Billy, 4 year old Nancy, and 2 year old Martha.
Daughter Phoebe was born about one month after Sampson was officially
mustered into service. On October 20th, the 109th departed Anna. They
marched into Cairo, Illinois about two hours later. There they boarded the
ship Diadem and traveled to Columbus, Kentucky. The109th continued to
journey southward and into Tennessee during late October and
November,where it was assigned to General Quimby's division. It spent two
to three weeks near Bolivar, Tennessee and then moved along the
Tennessee and Ohio and the Memphis and Charleston railroads to La
Grange and Moscow, Tennessee.
The 109th moved into Northern Mississippi by December 3rd. A day or
Slater it reached Holly
Springs, Mississippi. Holly Springs was a remote river town, considered a
strategic location for it's north-south and east-west railroads and because it
was the supply depot for Grant's army. The 109th stayed at Holly Springs a
few days and then was ordered to guard the nine bridge son the main line of
the Mississippi Central Railroad between Holly Springs and Lumpkins Mill.
On December 20th the Confederate Calvary,estimated at 3,500 to 4,000
men, raided Holly Springs. During this raid,the 109th continued to guard
the bridges, not having been ordered to march to battle in Holly Springs.
The men had been provided defective weapons upon enlistment, which had
not been repaired or replaced. This was one factor in their commanding
officer's reluctance to send them to fight at Holly Springs. The rebel raid
resulted in a large loss of Union supplies intended to be used for the
Vicksburg Campaign. The defeat and loss of General U.S. Grant's supplies
for the Campaign was considered crucial and an investigation of the 109th
was ordered. Their arrest and an investigation imminent; Sampson along
with 231 other members of the109th (347 total) with encouragement from
commanding officers, deserted on December 22, 1862 at Camp Lumpkins,
Holly Springs, Mississippi. The soldiers were charged with failing to march
to the support of their comrades. Several officers were charged with
offences ranging from:speaking in an improper manner of the war and The
President, to inciting dissatisfaction among the men, to attempting to induce
the men to surrender to the enemy. The investigation resulted in six officers
from the 109th being dishonorably discharged from the service. The
charges were dropped against the other soldiers, who were considered
physically good. The 109th was consolidated into the llth Illinois
Infantry Regiment in April 1863.
SERVICE WITH 11TH ILLINOIS INFANTRY
Sampson stayed home in Union County for about nine months
before returning to duty on September
1st, 1863. He was assigned to Company A, of the llth Illinois Infantry.He
likely made the return journey with Daniel Underwood as both returned to
duty on the same day. Sampson's official penalty for the earlier desertion
was loss of all pay and allowances during his absence and loss of two
additional months pay. He rejoined the troops in the Union occupied city of
Natchez, Mississippi. The llth remained there until October 12, 1863, when
they moved to Vicksburg, Mississippi. The llth was among the Union
regiments stationed in Vicksburg which operated as their home base until
July 29, 1864. During the stay at Vicksburg, the 11th participated in an
expedition to Yazoo City, Mississippi from February 1st to March 8th. Yazoo
City was captured on February 4th, a day in which the llth also saw action
in Liverpool Heights. The llth was involved in heavy fighting in Yazoo City
on February 5th. During the Yazoo City battle, 14 members of the regiment
were killed, 40 wounded,and 16 captured or missing. John Asberry
Underwood was among those wounded, sustaining a gunshot wound to the
right hip. Daniel Underwood was captured and removed to the notorious
Andersonville, Georgia prison. Daniel died a prisoner of war on October 18th,
1864 of diarrhea and malnutrition and is buried in the Andersonville
National Cemetery.
The llth pulled out of Yazoo City on March 7th, and proceeded to duty at the
Big Black River Bridge, where they stayed until April 28th. They began an
expedition back to Yazoo City on May 3rd. The intent was to destroy the
Mississippi Central Railroad, which was located just west of Yazoo City.
During this expedition, they moved to Benton, Mississippi from May 7 to
May 9, where at one point, they endured about 15 minutes of Confederate
shell fire. While on duty at Benton, Sampson contracted chronic diarrhea
and piles. The llth moved into Vaughn's Station,Mississippi on May 12. May
l3th was a day of constant skirmishing with the enemy. On May l4th they left
Vaughn's Station and moved back toward the Big Black River with orders to
burn the strategic Mississippi Central trestle. This goal was accomplished,
but there was additional gunfire with the rebels and one member of the llth
was killed. They arrived back in Yazoo city at noon on May l5th, where they
proceeded to burn the courthouse and other buildings, before leaving on the
l8th. The llth headed back toward Vicksburg taking the river route through
Liverpool Heights, Satartia, and Haines Bluff. They camped at Haines Bluff
on the20th, before heading out the next day on the three hour journey back
to Vicksburg.
Sampson required treatment at the Regimental Hospital from June 4th to 2lst
1864 for acute dysentery. He was then hospitalized on July 1st,at No 2.,
General Hospital in Vicksburg and was furloughed July l8th. He returned to
Anna, Illinois and remained in his home area on sick leave for
approximately 9 months, rejoining the troops on April 30th 1865.Sampson
rejoined the llth in Mobile, Alabama, a city occupied by Union forces. The
llth stayed on duty there from April 12 until May 27th, when they moved to
New Orleans. They then traveled to Alexandria and subsequently moved to
Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 22. Sampson was mustered out of service
on July l4th, 1865 in Baton Rouge. He and the other llth veterans then
proceeded to Springfield, Illinois for final payment and discharge before
returning home.
AFTER THE WAR
After the war, Sampson returned to Union County. He and Margaret
had two additional children: Mahala born in 1867; Bernette born in
1869.Both were born in Union County. The family was living in Randol,
Cape Girardeau County, Missouri at the time of the 1870 census. Sampson
and family moved to the Piggott\Greenway area of Clay County,
Arkansas apparently sometime between 1870 and 1873. Several of
Sampson's children married Arkansas Residents as follows: Jimmy married
Cynthia Golden; Serena married Fred Haywood and William "Billie"
Harmon; Billy married Miranda Burns; Nancy married Marcus Burns;
Martha married Jackson Burns; Phoebe married Thomas Alonzo Johnson;
Mahaly married Jim Campbell;Bernettie married Levi Burns; Mary Ann

Arkansas,of disease (diarrhea
and consumption), which originated during his Civil War Service. He was55
years old. Margaret continued to reside in Clay County and received a
