JACKSON GRAYS, CO. A, SIXTY-FIRST VA. REGT.
tured several prisoners and withdrew without having suffered any loss. After the return of General Lee's army from Maryland in October, 1862, the Jackson Grays, with the 61st Virginia Regi- ment, was assigned to Mahone's Brigade, and became a part of the army of Northern Virginia. From that time it followed closely the fortunes of that army, took part in all of its battles and victories and marches, and when the final defeat attended its ban- ners, surrendered fifteen muskets at Appomattox Court House on the 9th of April, 1865.
Of the commissioned officers of the company, not one escaped the shots of the enemy. Captain Wm. H. Stewart, its first cap- tain, was promoted to major and then to lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, and was twice wounded. First Lieutenant William C. Wallace was promoted to captain in May, 1862, upon the promo- tion of Captain Stewart to major. He was wounded slightly at Sewell's Point in the engagement of the 8th of March, 1862, be- tween the ironclad Virginia (Merrimac) and the Federal fleet, in which the shore battery at Sewell's Point took part, and was mor- tally wounded on the 19th of August, 1864, at the battle on the Petersburg and Weldon railroad, sometimes called the battle of Davis Farm. He fell into the hands of the enemy and died within their lines. He was a little more than twenty-two years old at the time of his death, having been born at Wallaceton, Norfolk county, on the 23d of March, 1842. He was brave, gentle and polished, and loved by all who knew him.
Upon the death of Captain Wallace, Lieutenant Jolm T. West became captain of the company. From November, 1863, until August 19th, 1864, Lieutenant West was detailed from the com- pany by order of General Mahone, and placed in command of a select company of sharp shooters, which with four other compa- nies, one from each regiment in the brigade, constituted the corps of one hundred and fifty men known as Mahone's sharp shooters, more than three-fourths of whom were killed or wounded during the campaign of 1864, but from that date, until the close of the war, commanded his own company. He was wounded twice, once by a bayonet thrust at the Crater, July 30th, 1864, and once by a piece of shell on the Plank Road in February, 1865. Third Lieutenant George T. Hodges, on account of the promotion of Captain Stewart and Lieutenant West, and the death of Captain Wallace, became First Lieutenant of the company and escaped with a slight wound, which he received May 3d, 1863, at the battle of Salem Church, a part of the battle of Chancellorsville, which took place between Sedgwick's corps of General Hooker's army and a portion of General Lee's army, which had been sent to stop *his advance from Fredericksburg. First Sergeant C. A. Nash was promoted to second lieutenant, and was slightly wounded at the Crater, July 30th, 1864, but remained with the company. On the
144
NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5.
19th of August, 1864, he received a very severe wound and shortly afterwards resigned his commission and volunteered as a private in Mosby's command. Lieutenant Nash is at this writing, 1892, Colonel of the 4th Virginia Volunteers. The company lost by deaths from wounds and disease forty-three men, probably more than any other company which went into the service from Ports- mouth and Norfolk county and the roll which follows gives the names of seventeen others who were wounded. Some of them were wounded more than once. There were certainly others, though they have escaped from memory in the lapse of twenty- seven years. At the battle of the Crater, July 30th, 1864, the company lost four men killed and six wounded, which was fully half of those present for duty. It lost men killed in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Wilcox Farm, the Crater, Davis Farm, Burgess Mill and Hatcher's Run, while in the other battles in which it was engaged its casualties embraced the wounded only. Very few of its members fell into the hands of the enemy and some of those were wounded. Company A was a company of whose war record Norfolk county may well feel proud, in fact, she mnay of all of her companies. Below will be found a roster of the company, copied from the muster roll of May, 1862 :
Captain Wm. H. Stewart, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel 61st Virginia, wounded.

CHAPTER XVII.
THE WILSON GUARDS, COMPANY B, SIXTY-FIRST VIRGINIA REGIMENT.
This company was organized in 1861 in that portion of Nor- folk county now known as Butt's Road and Pleasant Grove town- ships or magisterial districts, and contained a number of North Carolinians from Currituck county, near the Norfolk county line. The company was named after Colonel Samuel M. Wilson, who was then engaged in organizing a regiment of heavy artillery, and it was the intention of the Wilson Guards to form a part of that regiment. After being mustered into service the company was, at its own request, assigned to Colonel Wilson's command as Company B. The officers of the company at its organization were :
Captain, J. W. M. Hopkins.
First Lieutenant, Thomas F. Baxter ; 2d Lientenant, A. H. Lindsay ; 3d Lientenant, James E. Fulford.
First Sergeant, James A. Stott.
Lieutenant Lindsay resigned January 20th, 1862, and Lieuten- ant Fulford was promoted to 2d Lieutenant, and Sergeant Stott was elected 3d Lientenant. This cansed the promotion of Benj. F. Baxter to 1st Sergeant, but on the 19th of May he was trans- ferred to the Petersburg Cavalry and A. B. C. Fisher became 1st Sergeant. Captain Hopkins resigned on the 3d of January, 1863, Lieutenant Baxter became Captain, Lieutenant Fulford was advanced to 1st, and Lieutenant Stott to 2d Lientenant, and, on the 13th of January, Sergeant Fisher was elected 3d Lieuten- ant. Captain Baxter was wounded at the battle of Davis' Farm on the 19th of August, 1864, and Lieutenant Fulford was cap- tured at the battle of Burgess Mill on the 27th of October. Lieutenant Stott was wounded at the battle of Burgess' Mill, but recovered sufficiently to rejoin the company, and surrendered with it at Appomattox Court Honse. He was acting Adjutant of the regiment at the time of the surrender. Lieutenant Fisher died in a hospital at Charlottesville on the 12th of March, 1864.
Upon the evacuation of Portsmouth, the Wilson Guards joined the 61st Regiment in Petersburg and assisted in the election of regimental officers, after which it did provost duty for a while in that city and was subsequently sent with Company A on picket duty on the Appomattox river in the vicinity of City Point. In .August it rejoined the regiment and moved to Richmond, thence to the upper Rappahannock or Rapidan river. While there the company had two skirmishes with the enemy-one at Warrenton Junction on the 4th of November, 1862, and the other at Rappa-
147

hannock bridge on the 7th. It rejoined the regiment on the 24th and was with it when it began the march to Fredericksburg. The company had two other first Sergeants in addition to those men- tioned above. John H. Tucker succeeded Sergeant A. B. C. Fisher when the latter was promoted to 3d Lieutenant on the 13th of January, 1863, and held the position until August 17th, 1864, when he died from wounds received at the battle of the Crater, July 30th. Willoughby D. Barnard then succeeded to the first sergeancy and held it until the close of the war.
The company lost by death fully one-third of the members who left Norfolk county with it, and surrendered at Appomattox with one commissioned officer, four non-commissioned officers and eight privates. At the time of the evacuation of Portsmouth by the Confederates, it was on duty at Barrett's Neck.
Below will be found the roll of the company embracing both the Norfolk county and Currituck county men :

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE BLANCHARD GRAYS, COMPANY C, SIXTY-FIRST VIRGINIA REGIMENT.
This company was organized in the Great Bridge section of Norfolk county in 1861, and was named in honor of Colonel A. G. Blanchard, commander of the 1st Louisiana Regiment. Upon being mustered into service it was assigned to the battalion which Colonel Samuel M. Wilson was organizing for duty in the batteries around the harbor of Norfolk and Portsmouth. This battalion afterwards became the 61st Virginia Regiment, and the Blanch- ard Grays became Company C. The following were the officers : Captain, John G. Wallace.
First Lieutenant, Ashville Simmons ; 2d Lieutenant, St. Julien Wilson ; 3d Lieutenant, Benj. James.
First Sergeant, John H. Bogart.
The company remained on duty near Portsmouth until the evacuation of the city, May 10th, 1862, when it was carried by rail to Petersburg and participated in the organization and election of officers of the 61st Regiment. It did provost duty in Peters- burg for a while and went from there to the Appomattox river on picket duty, and about the 28th of August reported back to the regiment on Dunn's Hill and accompanied it to Richmond. Early in September it was ordered to the Rapidan with the regiment and did picket duty along the river guarding fords, and scouted as far as Warrenton Junction. Upon the return of General Lee's army from the Maryland campaign, the various companies of the 61st Regiment which were scattered along the Rapidan, were concentrated, and the regiment moved down to Fredericksburg to observe the movements of Burnside's army, and delay him as long as possible in crossing the Rappahannock river. The company was present at the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Salem Church, Gettysburg, Bristoe Station, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and in fact in all of the battles in which Mahone's Brigade was engaged after October, 1862.
Lieutenant Simmons resigned his commission as 1st lieutenant on the 30th of March, 1864, and Lieutenants St. Julien Wilson and Benjamin James were promoted to 1st and 2d lieutenants re- spectively. At the battle of the Crater, fought on the 30th of July, 1864, Captain Wallace was severely wounded and disabled, and Lieutenant Wilson was mortally wounded. Lieutenant James was promoted to 1st lieutenant upon the death of Lieutenant Wil- son and was captured on the 27th of October following, at the battle of Burgess' Mill. This left the company without any commissioned officers.

NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5.
This company lost as many men during the war, in proportion to its numbers, as probably any other which entered the Confed- erate army from Eastern Virginia. Of eighty-four names on its muster rolls six were transferred to other commands, and three were discharged from the army upon surgeon's certificates of dis- ability, thus leaving with the company only seventy-five men and of these, thirty-three never returned. Disease carried off more than were killed in battle.
After the battle of Burgess Mill the company was commanded by Lieutenant V. A. Haynes, of Company D, and surrendered at Appomattox with six privates.
Below will be found the roll of the company :
Captain John G. Wallace, wounded and disabled July 30th, 1864, Crater. First Lieutenant Ashville Simmons, resigned March 30th, 1864.
