ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, VA - MILITARY - Muster Rolls of Confederate Units Organized in Rockbridge County, Part 1 ----¤¤¤---- Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah at Rockbridge County Courthouse Lexington, Va. Feb. 19, 1953 Page 1 To Hon.Wm. P. Houston, Judge of the County Court of Rockbridge County, The undersigned respectfully show unto your Honor, that Lee- Jackson Camp of Confederate Veterans, has prepared under its supervision, Muster Rolls of all of the Companies and parts of Companies of Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry, organized or enlisted in the County of Rockbridge, for the defense of Virginia, serving in the Armies of the Confederate States of America, in the war between the States of 1861-5, together with a miscellaneous list of soldiers and marines from the County who served in Companies from other Counties of the State and other States. That the Camp has appointed your petitioners a Committee, to do all things necessary, to have the Rolls recorded in the Clerk's Office of you Court, under an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia, entitled "An act having for its object the collection, preservation and perpetuation of the names of the soldiers of Virginia who fought in her defense in the war between the States" - approved February 9th, 1898. That much care, labor and time have been given to the preparation of these rolls; the time extending over a period of nearly six years. The Camp found it impracticable to give a full roster of the Senior Reserves, they being well advanced in years, when in service, most all have passed away. The Miscellaneous list probably does not embrace the names of all men from the County, who enlisted in Companies from other Counties and States, but is substantially correct. Casualties in some Companies may not all have been reported. Your petitioners herewith present the Rolls of the Companies and Miscellaneous List and give the names of the Companies as follows: ARTILLERY 1. Rockbridge Artillery 2. Second Rockbridge Artillery CAVALRY 3. Company C, 1st, Virginia Cavalry 4. Company H, 14th , Virginia Cavalry 5. Company C, 14th, Virginia Cavalry 6. Company G, 14th, Virginia Cavalry 7. Rockbridge Rangers INFANTRY 8. Company I, 4th, Virginia Infantry 9. Company H, 4th, Virginia Infantry 10. Company K, 11th, Virginia Infantry 11. Company H, 25th, Virginia Infantry 12. Company H, 27th, Virginia Infantry 13. Company E, 52nd, Virginia Infantry 14. Company G, 58th, Virginia Infantry 15. Junior Reserves (Boy Company) with list of Senior Reserves appended 16. Miscellaneous List Your petitioners therefore ask, that such action and proceedings be taken on the Rolls, as said Act of Assembly requires and to you Honor may seem right and proper, and that the Rolls be recorded in the Clerk's Office of your Court. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c. J.P. Moore J. Scott Moore W.T.

ROCKBRIDGE ARTILLERY The enrollment of the Rockbridge Artillery began April 19th.1861, and by the 21st the company numbered about seventy men, and was organized by election of the following officers: Captain, John McCausland, and J. Bowyer Brockenbrough, Wm. McLaughlin and Wm. T. Poague, Lieutenants. Captain McCausland soon thereafter was made Lieut-Col. And ordered to the western part of the State. On the 29th.of April, the company unanimously elected Rev. Wm. N. Pendleton Captain. The Company left Lexington for the seat of war May 10th.1861, with two small brass six pounders, obtained at the Virginia Military Institute, was regularly mustered into the Confederate service at Staunton, Va. On May 11th. And at once ordered to Harper's Ferry, where it received two more guns. After the First Brigade as organized under General Thomas J. Jackson, the Rockbridge Artillery was assigned to it, and continued a component part of the Stone Wall Brigade, in Page 5 touch with and occupying the same positions with it in all its battles and skirmishes up to Sharpsburg. Upon the re-organization of the Artillery in October, 1862, the battery was assigned to the First Regiment Va. Artillery, under the command of Col. J. Thompson Brown, and continued with it till the close of the war. The first fight it was engaged in and which made a part of its history, occurred July 2nd near Hainesville, when Gen. Patterson crossed the Potomac and advanced on Winchester. But one piece was engaged, and this fired the first shot from a Confederate gun in the Shenandoah Valley. The Battery had five Captains from first to last: First, John McCausland, afterwards Brig. General of cavalry; Second, Rev. Wm. N. Pendleton, D.D., in command from May 1st, 1861, until after the first battle of Manassas, afterward Bri. General and chief of artillery in the Army of Northern Virginia; Third, Wm. McLaughlin, afterward Lieut.-Colonel of artillery, in command until April 2nd, 1862; Fourth, Wm. T. Poague, afterward Lieut. Colonel of artillery, Army of Northern Virginia, in command until after the first battle of Fredericksburg; Fifth, Archibald Graham, from that time until the surrender at Appomattox, at which place ninety-three men and officers laid down their arms. This Company had the reputation of being one of the finest companies in the service. So high was the intellectual quality of the men, that forty-five were commissioned as officers and assigned to other Companies in the service. Many of them reached high distinction. At no time during the war did this company want for recruits, but it was so popular that it always had a list from which it could fill its ranks which were sometimes depleted by its heavy casualties and numerous promotions from its roster.

The Rockbridge Artillery took part in the following engagements: Hainesville, July 2nd, 1861; First Manassas, July 21st, 1861; Kernstown, March 23rd, 1862; Winchester, May 25th, 1862; Charlestown, May 1862; Port Republic, June 8th and 9th, 1862; White Oak Swamp, June 30th & Malvern Hill, July 1st, 1862; Cedar Run, Aug. 9th, 1862; Second Manassas, Aug. 28th, 29th, & 30th, 1862; Harpers Ferry, Sep. 15th -62; Sharpsburg, Sep. 17th, 1862; First Fredericksburg, Dec. 13th, 1862; Second Fredericksburg, May 2nd and 3rd, 1863, Winchester, June 14th, -63; Gettysburg, July 2nd & 3rd, 1863; Rappahannock Bridge, Nov. 9th, -63; Mine Run, Nov. 27th, -64; New Market Heights, Sep. -64; Fort Gilmer, -64; Comberland Church, April 7th, 1865. The battery saw much service in fighting gunboats on James River, and took part in many skirmishes not mentioned. The number of men enrolled as above, is three hundrend and five, (305) of whom one hun- Page 12 dred and seventy three (173) were from the county of Rockbridge. Of the remainder a large part were students, college graduates, University of Va. men, and some divinity students. These with the Sturdy men from among the farmers and business men of Rockbridge, made up a company admirably fitted for the artillery service, the efficiency of the battery was due in no small part to its capacity for rapid marching and maneuvering, and this to the care and management of the horses mainly by men from this county. In the Spring of 1862 a large number of men were recruited for the Battery whose names are not in the above roll, and some of whom were engaged in the battle of Kernstown. In April 1862, while encamped at Swift Run Gap, authority was given by Gen. Jackson to reorganize the Battery, making three companies thereof with the view to form a Batalion. Immediately after two companies had been organized by the election of officers, the authority for making three companies was revoked, and an order issued to form one company only, and giving to all the men not embraced in this one company, the privilege of selecting a company in any branch of the Service. A large number of men thus temporarily connected with the Rockbridge Artillery, availed themselves of this Privilege, whose names do not appear on the above roll. It would not be impossible to make this list. Recapitulation. Enrolled as above, three hundred and five, (305) Number from Rockbridge county, one hundred and seventy three, (173) Killed in battle, twenty three, (23) Died of disease contracted in service, sixteen, (16) Wounded more or less severely, forty nine, (49) Slightly wounded, names not given, about fifty, (50) Discharged from service for disability incurred therein, ten, (10) Took the oath of allegiance to Fed. Government while in prison, two, (2) Deserted, five, (5) Promoted to be commissioned officers, thirty nine, (39) Paroled at Appomattox, ninety three, (93) SECOND ROCKBRIDGE ARTILLERY. The Second Rockbridge Artillery was called such on account of being the second Artillery Company as to date of organization in the County. The list of officers and men who served in the Company is given below. This Company was organized first as an infantry company, owing to the want of artillery equipment at the time and served as Company "B" of the Fifty-second Virginia regiment, then under Baldwin, and was a part of General E. Johnson's brigade, doing service in the Alleghany and Shenandoah mountains until the fall of 1861, with it was made an artillery company and was attached to the same brigade until the artillery was made a separate organization. After this it was a part of McIntosh's battalion in General A.P.Hill's corps until the close of the war. The Company was mustered into service as the "McDowell Guard" in honor of Miss Lillie McDowell, then of Lexington, Va., a daughter of Governor James McDowell, now Mrs. E.P.McD. Wolff of Atlanta Georgia, who made the company a present of a pair of good horses, harness and ambulance, besides furnishing considerable means for the clothing equipment of the Company. She also paid a bounty to a young man, Alfred F. Sly, who was under military age, to go as her personal representative in the war. He proved himself to be a true and faithful soldier and a few days before the battle of Gettysburg, being sent out with others on detached service, was captured and held in Page 13 prison until after the surrender of the army. The Company was made up largely of farmers and farmers sons and laborers. Practical knowledge of caring for and driving horses gave the battery an advantage over many others; being able to move with promptness under the most unfavorable circumstances. Quite a number of the men were from the Blue Ridge vicinity, without the advantages of education, and nothing but principle to fight for; yet none bared their breasts more willingly to the foe nor performed duty more faithfully to the end. The company was organized at Fairfield July 10th, 1861, with Rev. John Miller captain, Samuel Wallace, J.A.M. Lusk and J.C. Dickinson as Lieutenants, in the order named. At the reorganization of the army, May 1st, 1862, J.A.M. Lusk was made captain and W.K. Donald, Samuel Wallace and A.J. Hayslett Lieutenants, in the order named. Captain Lusk resigned June 1863, on account of ill health. W.K. Donald was made captain and served as such until the end of the war. A.J. Hayslett prior to May 1st, 1862, served as company surgeon, and in 1863 was made surgeon of the battalion, and Wm. T. Wilson, then a member of the "Danville Blues" of the Eighteenth Virginia Infantry, was elected lieutenant and served as such until the surrender. After the promotions in consequence of Captain Lusk's resignation, Daniel Paxton was elected lieutenant and continued as such, until the close of the war. The battery did much hard service and ranked inferior to none in the faithful discharge of duty. Owing to the capture of a large number of the members of the Company on the morning of April 2nd, 1865, where the Confederate line was first broken, near the P. & W. R.R., there were only about forty of the Company who surrendered at Appomattox. The following members served as Non-Commissioned Officers. Sergeants. Wilson S.W. from May 1st, 1862 to Apl. 9th, 1865.

ROCKBRIDGE 1ST DRAGOONS, COMPANY "C" 1ST VA CAVALRY This company was organized at Fancy Hill, May 12th, 1859. L.C. Davidson was elected Captain. It was composed of men from every section of the County and the flower of the young manhood of Rockbridge. It had stated meetings monthly for drill and became perfect in the simple cavalry tactics of that time. In the fall of 1859, Captain L.C. Davidson was made Colonel of the Eighth regiment of Virginia militia, which necessitated his resignation as commander of the Dragoons, and the company was re-organized by the election of Matthew X. White as captain; John S. Cummings, First Lieutenant; James E. Poague, Second Lieutenant; C.F. Jordan, Third Lieutenant. Lieutenant Poague resigned in 1860 to attend the medical school of the University of Virginia and C.R. Burks was elected to fill the vacancy. Thus officered the company was mustered into service at Harper's Ferry. They left Lexington April 18th, 1861. Captain White resigned in 1861 and Lieutenant Jordan was elected Captain, and was the commanding officer to the close of the war. Upon entering the service, the company was assigned to the First Virginia Cavalry and became Company "C". This regiment had several Colonels who became distinguished cavalry leaders, among them Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, Gen. W.E. Jones and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and was the pride of the cavalry arm of the service in the Army of Northern Virginia, and in every conflict with the enemy sustained their enviable reputation as hard fighters.

ROCKBRIDGE 2ND DRAGOONS - COMPANY "H" 14TH VA CAVALRY This Company was organized in the lover end of Rockbridge, principally in the vicinity of Brownsburg, previous to the war, and was mustered into service April 21, 1861. The officers at that time were John R. McNutt, Captain; Robert McChesney, 1st Lieutenant; John A. Gibson, 2nd Lieutenant; Dr. Z.J. Walker, 3rd Lieutenant. They were ordered to West Virginia (then Virginia), where Lieutenant McChesney was killed, probably the first Virginian killed on Virginia soil. His tragic death occurred near St. George, Tucker County. Lieutenants Gibson and Walker were promoted to 1st and 2nd Lieutenants by the vacancy, and John Y. Anderson was made 3rd Lieutenant. At the reorganization in 1862, after the first year's service, John A. Gibson was made Captain; James A. Strain 1st Lieutenant; James Archibald Lyle, 2nd Lieutenant, and James Lindsay 3rd Lieutenant. The Company was then doing service in Major William L. Jackson's battalion, composed of the following companies: Churhville Cavalry from Augusta County, Charlotte Cavalry from Charlotte County, and Rockbridge 2nd Dragoons from Rockbridge County. The 14th Virginia Cavalry was organized in January 1863 at Salem, Virginia, and these three Companies were assigned to it, the Dragoons becoming Company "H". Captain John A. Gibson was made Lieutenant Colonel and promotions were made in the Dragoons as follows: James A. Strain, Captain; James Lindsay 1st Lieutenant; William M. Sterrett, 2nd Lieutenant; Z.J. Culton, 3rd Lieutenant, who died in Salem while the regiment was in winter quarters near that town, the winter of 1862-63. A.B. Mackey was elected to fill Lieutenant Culton's place. Lieutenant Mackey was killed near Moorefield, Hardy County, on the retreat from the burning of Chambersburg in 1864. William N. Wilson was elected to supply the vacancy caused by Lieutenant Mackey's death. At the surrender the Company was officered as follows: Captian, James A. Strain; 1st Lieutenant, James Lindsay; 2nd Lieutenant, William M. Sterrett; 3rd Lieutenant, William N. Wilson. This company holds undisputed, the unique position of having had probably the first and the last Virginian killed on Virginia soil. Lieutenant Robert McChesney was the first, being bush- whacked in West Virginia, and James Wilson and Samuel A. Walker were killed at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865. In the last charge where the last two named members of Company "H" were killed, the federal line was broken and a part of a battery of Federal Artillery captured.
