VII. list of Massacusetts Officers in regular Army and staff Corps.
note. The basis of admittance to the following list is the same with that already explained in connection with the list of General Officers. A seeming confusion sometimes results, in this list, from the fact that the relative rank of an officer in the U. S. (regular) Army is determined, not by the date of his commission, but by the date of his formal acceptance of it, until which last event he still retains his lower rank, and may serve for a time as a lieutenant, for instance, after he is commissioned a captain. Thus, in the case of Bancroft, Eugene Adolphus, he appears as a private of Illinois Volunteers from May 6 to Nov. 9, 1861, because, although commissioned on Oct. 24, 1861, as Second Lieutenant, 4th U. S. Artillery, he did not accept the promotion until Nov. 9. In most cases the date of acceptance cannot here be given, because it is only recently that the annual Army Register has included it; but the apparent discrepancies in successive dates in this list proceed almost wholly from this cause, and are thus unavoidable.Abbot, Edward Stanley.
