SECOND ROCKBRIDGE ARTILLERY


The company was organized at Fairfield. July 10, '61, with Rev. John Miller, captain, Samuel Wallace, J. A. M. Lusk, and J. C. Dickinson as Lieuts., in the order named. At the reorganization of the army, May 1, '62, J. A. M. Lusk was made captain and W. K. Donald, Samuel Wallace, and A. J. Hayslett, Lieuts., in the order named. Captain Lusk resigned June. '63, 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 1, '62, 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 selected lieutenant and served as such till the surrender. After the promotions in consequence of Capt. Lusk's resignation, Daniel Paxton was elected Lieutenant and continued as such till close of the war. The battery did much hard service and ranked inferior to none in the faithful discharge of duty. Owing to capture of a large number of the members of the company on the morning of April 2, '65, 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.

A HISTORY OF ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA


ROCKBRIDGE 2ND DRAGOONS-COMPANY H., J4TH VA. CAVALRY


This company was organized in the lower end of Rockbridge, principally in the vicinity of Brownsburg, previous to the war, and was mustered into service, April 21, '61 The officers at that time were. John R. McNutt, Capt .; Kobt. McChesney, Ist Lieut .; John A. Gibson, 2nd Licut. ; Dr. Z. J. Walker, 3rd Lieut. They were ordered to West Virginia, (then Va.), where Licut. McChesney was killed, probably the first Virginian killed on Virginia soil. His tragic death occured near St. George, Tucker County. Lieutenants Gib- son and Walker were promoted to Ist and 2nd Licuts, by the vacancy, and John Y. Anderson, was made 3rd. Licut.


At the reorganization in '02, after the first year's service, John A. Gibson was made Capt .; James A. Strain, Ist Lieut ; James Archibald Lyle, 2nd Lieut., and James Lindsay, 3rd Lieut. The company was then doing service in Major William L. Jackson's battalion, composed of the following companies : Churchville Cavalry, from Augusta County, Charlotte Cavalry from Charlotte County, and Rockbridge 2nd Dragoons, from Rock- bridge County.


The 14th Va. Cavalry was organized in January, '63, at Salem, Va, and these three companies were assigned to it, the Dragoons becoming Company "Il." Capt. John A. Gibson was made luicut. Col. and promotions were made in the Dragoons as follows : James A. Strain, Capt .; James Lindsay, Ist Lient .; William M. Sterrett, 2nd Lieut .; Z. J. Culton, 3rd Lieut., who died in Salem while the regiment was in winter quarters near that town. the winter of '02-03. A. B. Mackey was elected to hill Lieut. Culton's place. Licut. Lackey was killed near Moorefield, Hardy County, on the retreat from the burning of Chambersburg, in '04 W'm. N. Wilson was elected to supply the vacancy caused by Licut. Mackey's death. At the surrender the company officers were as follows : Capt. A. Strain; Ist Lieut. James Lindsay; 2nd Lieut. W'in. M. Sterrett: 3rd Lieut. W'm. N. Wilson.


This company holds undisputed the unique position of having had probably the first and the last Virginian killed on Virginia soil. Lieut. Kobert McChesney was the first, being bush-whacked in West Va., and James Wilson, and Samuel A. Walker were killed at Appomattox on the 9th of April, '65. In the last charge where the last two named members of the company " !! " were killed, the Federal line was broken and a part of a battery of Federal artillery captured.
