His regimental office rs were Colonel Alexander McDowell, Lieutenant Colonel Rudolphus Ritzem a, Major Herman, Ledwitz, Adjutant John Brogdon, Chaplain Isreal Evans a nd Quartermaster William Tap.

One son was taken prisoner and another, Richard Walcott Pelt on, dying on the way home. In Ithaca he was a prominent man and lead er in the community holding the position of judge for some time.
