CHAPTER XXXV.
THE NORFOLK LIGHT INFANTRY, COMPANY D, SIXTH VA. REGIMENT.
This company was raised in Norfolk immediately upon the be- ginning of trouble between the sections, and was mustered into service before it was uniformed. The officers of the company at its organization and who were mustered in with it, were :
Captain, John R. Ludlow.
First Lieutenant, Montford N. Stokes; 2d Lieutenant, James Malbon ; 3d Lieutenant, Geo. F. Crawley.
First Sergeant, Robert J. Carty ; 3d Sergeant, Geo. F. Clarke ; 4th Sergeant, Wm. F. Carty.
The company was attached to the 6th Virginia Regiment as Company D, and, uniting with the regiment at once, lost its iden- tity as a separate organization. During the first year of the war the following members were honorably discharged for various rea- sons, which, however, were not specified in the muster rolls :
Davis Ballentine, Edwin Craig, Geo. F. Clark, Dennis Harding, Wm. Harrison, Henry Messfield, Geo. Sturgeon, Franklin A. Sibley, Geo. Walther, Wm. Young.
At the reorganization of the company, Captain John R. Lud- low was re-elected captain, 1st Sergeant Robt. J. Carty was re- elected, and Lientenants Stokes and Crawley were elected 1st and 2d Lientenants respectively, and James M. F. Wiatt 3d Lieuten- ant. Sergeant Carty was killed at the battle of Sharpsburg Sep- teniber 17th, 1862, and Robert Banks became 1st Sergeant of the company, and Win. F. Carty was advanced to 2d Sergeant.
On the 4th of April, 1863, Lieutenant Crawley was elected Captain of Company C, 6th Virginia Regiment, and resigned his commission in Company D. Lientenant Wiatt resigned on the 14th of May, 1863, and Lieutenant Stokes was mortally wounded at the battle of Bristoe Station October 14th, 1863, and died on the 14th of November. Corporal C. C. Benson was elected 2d Lieu- tenant April 7th, 1863, and Private E. H. Flournoy was elected 1st Lieutenant on the 17th of May, 1864. Captain Ludlow's health broke down during the war, and upon the recommendation of the regimental surgeon, he was detailed by special order, on account of disability, December 30th, 1862, and assigned to duty enrolling conscripts. " He rejoined the company in 1863. The relative mortality of the company was, with one exception, greater than that of any other Norfolk company, for of the seventy-six men who left the city with it on the 10th of May, 1862, twenty- three were killed or died from disease contracted in the service.
Among the list of those who died or were wounded are three

CHAPTER XXXVI.
COMPANY F, COMPANY G, SIXTH VIRGINIA REGIMENT.
This company was organized in 1859, and when it entered the service of the Confederate States, or rather the State of Virginia, it was the largest infantry company in Norfolk, numbering on its roll about one hundred and twenty-five or thirty members. Quite a large number of them were promoted to positions in other commands or given staff appointments. The officers of the com- pany when it was first mustered into service were :
Captain-Henry W. Williamson.
First Lieutenant, W. W. Chamberlaine; 2d Lieutenant, Edward M. Hardy : 3d Lientenant, Duncan Robertson, Jr.
First Sergeant, John T. Lester; 2d Sergeant, Adolph H. Jagneman ; 3d Sergeant, Edward A. Dodd; 4th Sergeant, James B. Marsden.
First Corporal, Robert G. Portlock ; 2d Corporal, George K. Goodridge; 3d Corporal, Jonathan R. Smith ; 4th Corporal, F. E. Goodrich.
The company, from its organization, was named "Company F," and by that name it was known. It was attached to the 6th Virginia Regiment as Company G. It mustered under arms on the 19th of April, 1861, and took part in the removal of the powder from the United States magazine at Fort Norfolk that night, and was ordered to Craney Island as a part of the garrison at that post. There it had charge of a battery of heavy guns. At the reorganization of the company in April, 1862, Captain Wil- liamson was re-elected, Lieutenant Chamberlaine declined a re- election and retired from the company to another field of duty, and Edward M. Hardy, Duncan Robertson, Jr., and John T. Les- ter were elected 1st, 2d and 3d Lieutenants respectively. Cap- tain Williamson was elected Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment, Lieutenant Hardy was promoted to Captain, and the other two Lieutenants were advanced one grade each, leaving the 3d Lieu- tenantey vacant, and when the company was near Drury's Bluff, in May, 1862, this was tendered to the former Lieutenant, W. W. Chamberlaine, and accepted by him, thus renewing his connec- tion with the company. The officers, therefore, when it entered upon the stage of actual warfare were:
Captain-Edward M. Hardy.
First Lieutenant, Duncan Robertson, Jr .; 2d Lieutenant, John T. Lester; 3d Lieutenant, Wm. W. Chamberlaine.
First Sergeant, John R. Catlett.
Lieutenant Chamberlaine was wounded at Sharpsburg Septem-

ber 17th, 1862, was detached from the company in December, 1862, and was promoted to Captain and A. A. G. on the staff of General Walker, Chief of Artillery of the 3d Corps, Army of Northern Virginia. Lieutenant Lester was captured at Crampton Gap September 14th, 1862, was exchanged, rejoined the company and was killed on the 12th of May, 1864, at the battle of Spotsyl- vania Court House. Lieutenant Robertson wasseverely wounded at Sharpsburg, but recovered, rejoined the, company, and was captured October 27th, 1864, at the battle of Burgess' Mill. Captain Hardy was wounded on the 22d of June, 1864, at Wilcox's Farm, but recovered and rejoined the company.
The company remained on duty at Craney Island until the 10th of May, 1862, when the island was evacuated by the Confeder- ates. It then marched to Suffolk with the rest of the troops and there took the cars for Petersburg, where it joined its regiment. During the battle at Drury's Bluff between the shore batteries and the Federal fleet composed of the Monitor, Galena and Nang- atuck, Company 'G was stationed on the bluffs below the battery as sharpshooters and did considerable injury among such of the crews of the three vessels as exposed themselves upon the decks. After that, the company returned to the regiment and did duty with it to the end of the war. The company lost very heavily at the battles of Malvern Hill and Second Manassas. In the first, five of its members were killed or mortally wounded, and at the last, four sacrificed their lives upon the altar of their country's liberty. Among these last were Win. G. Ridley, of Southamp- ton county, a gallant youth scarcely more than twenty years of age, who was attending school at the University of Virginia when the war broke out, and joined Company G in order to be with his friends. Another, about the same age, John B. Merritt, of Brunswick county, a student at Randolph-Macon College, and a stranger in Norfolk, left college and joined this company on ac- connt of the friends he had in it. He was mortally wounded in the same battle in which Buck Ridley was killed.
Mahone's Brigade suffered quite severely at Second Manassas and about half of the remainder were lost at Crampton Gap, where it was sacrificed to hold Franklin's Corps in check until the fall of Harper's Ferry. Those who escaped fell back into Pleasant Valley and made the forced march to join General Lee at Sharpsburg. The brigade had been reduced so much by the casualties of battle and the fatigue of that extraordinary march that when it arrived upon the field of Sharpsburg it was scarcely larger than a full company, and Company G consisted of Lieu- tenants Robertson and Chamberlaine and Private Chandler W. Hill. Private George M. Todd came up during the progress of the battle. In this battle Lieutenant Robertson received a se- vere wound, which disabled him. At the battle of the Crater

every man in the company who was present in the fight was either killed or wounded. Chandler W. Hill, then a Corporal, lost his arm there. The few men in the company who reached the battle field at Sharpsburg did good service while there. The remnant of the brigade, about eighty men, halted in rear of the town of Sharpsburg and was conducted by General Pryor, to whose brigade it was temporarily attached, to a piece of ground near the Piper House, in rear of the main line of battle. The Hagerstown road runs dne north from Sharpsburg, and Dr. Pi- per's house is located to the right of the road, with a lane leading to it at right angles from the road, and on the side of this lane was a stone fenee. General D. H. Hill's line of battle extended across the angle formed by the lines of the road and lane, about a quarter of a mile from the point of junction. As soon as the men reached that point the Federal artillery opened a terrific fire upon them. Some ran forward and reached the line of battle, but the larger portion sought shelter. It was here that Lientenant Robertson was wounded, and Lieutenant-Colonel Parham, of the 41st Virginia, commanding the brigade, ordered Lientenant Cham- berlaine to go to the rear and report to General Anderson the condition of affairs. Lieutenant Chamberlaine had not gone far in the execution of the order when he learned that General Ander- son had been wounded. He was then near the head of Piper's lane, and noticed a six-pounder brass field piece and limber chest on the Hagerstown road which had been left there by the com- pany to which it belonged. Just then the line of battle began falling baek, and, getting a few men to help him, Lieutenant Chamberlaine dragged the gun into a commanding position, and, with the assistance of several other officers, rallied a number of the retreating infantry behind the stone fence. This force was continually increasing as stragglers would come up, and pretty soon the enemy made his appearance in front, preceded by a line of skirmishers. Lieutenant Chamberlaine obtained permission from Major Fairfax, of General Longstreet's staff, to open fire with the gun, and after a few rounds the enemy retired, but their artillery opened on this solitary piece such a heavy fire that it was moved to another position near the head of Piper's lane, where it could command the ground in its front and yet be somewhat sheltered from the enemy's batteries. Subsequently the enemy made three attempts to advance, but the well directed fire of that gun repelled them each time before they came within range of the fire of the infantry behind the stone fence. Lieutenant Cham- berlaine sighted the gun and served the vent, and his gun's crew was composed of Georgia infantrymen of Colonel G. T. Ander- son's Brigade, (General Jones, its commander, was wounded) with Privates Chandler W. Hill and George M. Todd, of Company G, as infantry supports.
272
NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5.
After this third repulse there was a Inll for about two hours, and as it became desirable to ascertain what the enemy were en- gaged in, Colonel Wm. Gibson, of the 48th Georgia Regiment, threw forward a strong line of skirmishers and met a full line of battle beginning to advance. The determined stand made by these skirmishers induced the enemy to believe they were backed up by a heavy force and caused them to suspend their contem- plated attack. Thus ended the fighting on that part of the field, except by the enemy's artillery, which disabled Lieutenant Cham- berlaine. The gun is said to have belonged to the Huger Battery of Norfolk, and was one of the guns which the Norfolk Blues had before the war, and which was turned over to Captain Huger. The battery had been engaged at that point earlier in the day, but, being ordered to another part of the field, had to leave that gun behind, as the horses belonging to it had been killed. The company sent a detachment for it that night and carried it off.
At the commencement of hostilities Colonel Walter II. Taylor, who wasso well known throughout the Army of Northern Virginia as General Lee's Adjutant General, was a Lientenant in Company G, but served only a few days with it before receiving an ap- pointment in the Provisional Army, with the subsequent assign- ment to the staff of General Robert E. Lee.
Colonel Anderson, in his report of the action of his brigade at Sharpsburg, mentions the incident of the gun and says : "At this point I found a 6-pounder gun, and getting a few men to assist in placing it in position, a Lieutenant of infantry, whose name or regiment I do not know, served it most beautifully until the am- munition was exhausted."
Colonel Anderson is mistaken about the ammunition being ex- hausted. The gun ceased firing only when the enemy retired be- yond its range. The fire of this gun is referred to also in the Federal reports, of the battle, by Brigadier General J. C. Caldwell, commanding the brigade which made the attack, and by Major General W. S. Hancock, both of whom thought there were two guns instead of one. They report that Colonel F. C. Barlow, commanding the 64th and 61st New York Regiments (consoli- dated), was wounded in the groin by a shrapnel from it.
Below will be found the muster roll of the company for May, 1862, with one recruit added in 1864 :
