JAMES, sergeant-major
JOHN, lieutenant in navy
JONATHAN, lieutenant
WILLIAM, major
EDMUND, captain
CHARLES, surgeon
FRANCIS, colonel

The "Calendar of State Papers," shows, however, that Thomas Barbour was County Lieutenant in the later years of the war, and it would seem that James Madison, Jr., never acted as such.
APPENDIX G.
Roster of the Montpelier Guards Dur- ing John Brown Raid, 1859.
This company was organized and uniformed about two years before the raid occured. It did not partici- pate in the capture of Brown, but was ordered to Charles Town, where he was imprisoned, there- being much talk of "rescue" at the time, and remained there until Brown and his accessories were hanged.
This company was Brown's military escort to the scaffold. The roster was furnished by Mr. W. H. Ricketts, treasurer of Orange.

Captain Williams was promoted to the rank of col- onel, and was killed in Pickett's charge at Gettysburg.
R. M. Newman, orderly sergeant of the company, January 1, 1864, subsequently an officer on the staff of Gen. George H. Steuart of Maryland, furnishes a roster of that date from his contemporaneous diary, from which a few names, not in the other list, have been incorporated.
On January 1, 1864, according to this diary, there were fifty-two enlisted men in the company subject to duty; to give some idea of the losses in the Wilderness Campaign there were present for duty June 8, fourteen men, on July 7, eighteen. The subsequent battle of Winchester, September 29, was one of the most destruc- tive in which the company was engaged.
