James Sullivan Fillebrown

He was commissioned First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the First Maine Infantry 3 May 1861 for 3 months' service, and mustered out with them in August. He was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment 4 October 1861 (to date from 28 September) as it re-formed for further service and became the 10th Maine Infantry.

He wrote the Official Report for the regiment in the battle, such as he saw of it. He says: "The men went into the woods some few rods, when I was knocked from my horse by Colonel Beal's horse, which had been twice mortally wounded, and, returning, gave me a severe kick in the stomach, entirely disabling me for three days."

He mustered out at the end of his term on 8 May 1863.

By 1868 he was Collector of the Internal Revenue in Columbia, SC. In the 1870 Federal Census he was a trial justice in Darlington County, SC.
