COMPANY "C" I4TH VA. CAVALRY
This company was formed in '62 and was made up largely of enlisted men who had seen service in West Va., as members of the Rockbridge 2nd Dragoons and the Churchville Cavalry, of Augusta County. These companies exceeded in number army regulations and it was deemed to form another company of the surplus. This will ac- cont fer the fact that some names will appear on the roll of Company "C" and also on that of Company "H." The Churchville Cavalry was raised in West Augusta and in Highland County.
The following is a list of the dead and living, who at any time during the war served in the company :

Casualties-The survivors of Company "C" are so widely separated by distance, and their post offices unknown, that it is impossible to get an accurate list of the killed and wounded.
One of the most disastrous fights in which the company participated was when Milroy was driven out of Winchester, in '63. The company was doing picket duty on the Valley pike between Middletown and Cedar Creek. When the order came to advance the picket line, Company "G" and Captain Raison's Company of the First Maryland Cavalry slowly moved down the pike. They had gone about a mile when a battery of the Federals op- posed further progress. A charge to capture the battery, was made. On each side con- cealed behind rock fences were two regiments of Pennsylvanians (infantry) who rose up when the Confederates were in thirty feet of them, and delivered a deadly fire. Agree- ably to Harry Gilmore's book, Four Years in the Saddle, five men were killed dead, nine wounded, and twenty-three captured. Of Company "G." Lt. Norvell, J. Scott Moore, Samn. H. Davis, Sergeant Bunch, Griffith Deaton, and William Taylor were wounded, some slightly, and some badly. Sergeant Bunch was shot in the throat and twenty years after- wards expelled the bullet in a paroxysm of coughing. The captured were Lt. Norvell, Sam. H. Davis, J. Scott Moore, W. W. Moore, R. E. Hatcher, Sam C. Barnett, and James Waskey.
Chas. Deaton was killed near Charleston, Va .; Lt. Chas Keiffer, Serg. John Brown, Abe Deyerle, Griffith Deaton, James McConkey, Serg. John Perkins, and John J. Barger, were wounded in the Valley-(unable to give places and dates.) J. Scott Moore was again wounded at Brandy Station, Va. Byrd Anderson and Sam C. Barnett and Serg. John P. Tribbett, were captured near Petersburg, in April '65. R. L. Northern was wounded in the forehead.
THE ROCKBRIDGE RANGERS
This company as now recalled is as follows :
L. C. Davidson, Captain ; Geo. Hordan, 1st Lieut .; John H. Cameron, 2nd Lieut .; Rev. W. F. Junkin, 3rd Lieut .; Albert Davidson, Orderly Serg .; J. W. Haughawout, 2nd Serg .; Ed. L. Graham, 3rd Serg .; Cornelius Armentrout, 4th Serg .; Robert Bradford, Corporal.
