PREFACE.
The purpose of this publication is to put beyond the accident of
destruction by fire, and the yet more likely accident of loss through
neglect and carelessness of such as are generally charged with care
and custody "of records, the ROLL OF THE "GEORGIA HUS¬
SARS," so far as it has been compiled.
In 1859 when the effort was first made to prepare such a roll, there
were no records in hand, of a date anterior to the books of the sec¬
retary and treasurer, then in use. This effort first took shape in the
form of a letter of interrogatories addressed to the then surviving
members of the company, several of whom had been members as far
back as 1812. The full and explicit responses supplied a skeleton
roll of much interest and great value. This information was sup¬
plemented from the files of the Savannah Republican* covering the
period from 1802 to 1859. and was greatly enlarged by a full tran¬
script of every mention of the volunteer soldiers of Savannah. The
record as thus compiled, was in July, 1861, transferred to my suc¬
cessor as secretary, and having disappeared, is supposed to have
been destroyed, as an incident of the capture of Savannah in Decem¬
ber, 1864. Fortunately a rough skeleton copy of the roll remained in
my possession and was in hand after the War, and upon this as a
basis I have builded as best I could. With renewal of purpose soon
after the War, to improve and add to this roll , earnest search was
instituted, by reference to all the Histories of Georgia, and every
publication (at hand) that might contribute information, and to
many manuscripts in both public and private possession. In the
prosecution of this*work many memoranda were made touching the
origin and existence of a "mounted command," and as the publica¬
tion of the information thus obtained was not then contemplated,
these memoranda were made and phraseology used, and are incor¬
porated in the "Historical Sketch" which is appended, without due
credit.
The reader familiar with Georgia history will readily recognize
such when not duly credited and will, I hope, kindly relieve me of a
purpose to plagiarize.
I trust this sketch may prove of some interest to the troop. There
is no attempt to recite gallant individual exploit or relate splendid
achievement of the command (saving what appears in appendices
"C" and "D"). Let it suffice, to record that the Hussars were of the
command of Stuart, Hampton and Wheeler, and therefore share in
the distinction which those eminent soldiers attained. The brief
*It is sorely to be regretted that the files of the Republican were allowed to be pur¬
chased and moved away from the city.
itineraries succeeding the rolls of Co. A and Co. B give a condensed
statement of some of the service rendered.
The roll is certainly of value, and may justify an honorable pride
in the fact that it contains the names of many citizens who held
eminent position in the community, the state and the nation.
In the history of the community it was for many years recognized
as an honorable duty incumbent upon its citizens to become members
of one of the several companies of the city, and men of every pro¬
fession and artisans of every calling cultivated the patriotic purpose
to be "prepared at all times to defend his (their) country from dan¬
ger." Men of wealth and leisure as well as men of lesser means and
of toil, vied with each other side and side in ranks, in effort to "ac¬
quire that military knowledge which is absolutey necessary in case of
war." Subsequent illustration of the value of such service is amply
supplied in the career of such men when the exactions of War were
put upon them.
The photographs interspersed are, many of them, copies of por¬
traits and daguerreotypes representing the individuals as of an age
many years after active service, but they preserve the personality of
prominent citizens, once enthusiastic Hussars.
I regret the failure to obtain others for which application has been
vainly made. Still more to be regretted is my inability to present
and preserve the physiognomy of more of the men of Companies
"A" and "B" who gallantly upheld the prestige of the command, and
received well merited compliments of immediate commanders and
unstinted praise from comrades of other commands.*
As a whole, this publication must appear somewhat incoherent,
and upon the reader falls the task of adjusting many of the facts into
orderly sequence. For me to make such adjustment in fuller rela¬
tion would extend the volume of the record into volumes. I felt it
necessary to condense; have endeavored to do so. I have strenuously
sought to avoid errors. It has been to me a pleasure to bring to¬
gether the facts herein contained, and if there be errors and omis¬
sions, they could not well be avoided.

LEGEND.
At its regular Quarterly meeting, held the first week in January,
1861, (at its drill room, northwest corner, third story of "City Ex¬
change" building), the troop made tender of its services to the Gov¬
ernor of the State of Georgia, asking to be placed first on the list
for acceptance. In said month it did a tour of duty dismounted at
"Fort Pulaski," serving as heavy Artillery, and during the month of
June in its capacity as cavalry on "Skidaway Island." It made like
proffer of service to "President Davis" on inauguration of the Con¬
federate Government at Montgomery, Ala., in February, 1861, fur¬
ther proposing to put itself in Richmond, Va., fully equipped, free of
cost to the Government. In response to this last proffer the very
laconic and imbecile reply was sent by L. P. Walker, the first Con¬
federate Secretary of War: " Got no use for cavalry." The incom¬
petency of the administering head of the War Department thus con¬
fessed was a forecast of the untoward end of the South's effort to
establish its separate independence. On the night of July 21st, 1861,
the day of the battle of "Bull Run," when it was sadly compre¬
hended by the Confederate authorities that they had failed to fully
realize the fruits of victory because of the inadequacy of its cavalry
force, the following telegram was received by the writer (who was
at that date secretary of the troop): "I have the assurance of Col.
Northrop that the President will accept the services of the Hussars
upon the terms originally proposed." Signed, "John P. W. Read."
and dated from Richmond, Va. Col. Northrop was Commissary
General of the "Confederate States" and a close personal friend of
President Davis. Capt. Read was Captain of the Hussars when
they made tender of service, and on refusal of same he resigned this
office to accept Captaincy of the "Pulaski Guards" of Savannah, which
company was sent to Virginia to constitute a part of the "Tenth
Georgia Infantry," Col. L. McLaws. Becoming subsequently an artil¬
lery officer, promoted Major and Lieut. Colonel, he acquired distinc-

tion as such in the "Army of Northern Virginia," and as Chief of Ar¬
tillery lost his right arm in the defense of "Fort Fisher," Wilmington,
N. C. (So much of record in due meed to a gallant soldier and ele¬
gant gentleman.) Proceeding immediately in response to this ac¬
ceptance to make ready, the troop at a meeting which was held to
take action upon the above telegram, as a preliminary step
resolved, that such officers and men of the troop as it then existed,
together with recruits obtained, as might go to Virginia, were to be
designated as "Co. A" of the Hussars, and that the remaining
members, together with such recruits as they might obtain, were to
be known as "Co. B" of the Hussars. The resulting details of these
organizations are of record in company archives, and that of Cos. A
and B attached hereto.
Early in August "Co. A" was ready to move forward to Virginia,
but it was interrupted by orders from Joseph E. Brown, Governor of
Georgia, forbidding their departure, or otherwise the return of all
State arms and equipment. Coupled with the order was the state¬
ment that he, the Governor, had the assurance of President Davis
that he would refuse acceptance of any troops from Georgia bearing
State arms, unless their' tender of service met his, the Governor's
approval. Entertaining, nevertheless, a resolute purpose to go for¬
ward, the State arms were surrendered, and industrious effort made
to find arms and equipment elsewhere. This imposed delay in de¬
parture until Sept. 17, 1861, upon which date it left Savannah by the
Charleston and Savannah Railway for Richmond, Va. To comply
with its proffer to put itself in Richmond free of cost to the Gov¬
ernment, imposed an expenditure of near Twenty-five Thousand
($25,000) Dollars. The measure and character, of service subse¬
quently rendered are partially set forth in the following condensed
form:
ITINERARY.
In compliance with Special Order No. 179 under date of Sept. 4,
1861, from the Adjt. and Ins. Gen. Dept. "Co. A," Georgia Hussars,
left Savannah for Charleston, S. C., at which point they were hand¬
somely entertained by the "South Carolina Rangers," Capt. R. J.
Jeffords. Left the cars at Petersburg, Va., and encamped at "Fair
Grounds," where they remained for three or four days, receiving in
that place many kind attentions from the ladies and other citizens.
From thence the horses were led to Richmond, the command pro¬
ceeding by rail, going into camp near the Reservoir, where they re¬
mained until Oct. 17, 1861. In consideration of the fact that the
company had placed itself in the field thoroughly equipped in every
detail (except field transportation) the government extended to them
choice of assignment to one of two regiments of Virginia Cavalry
272
(whose organization was yet incomplete) viz.: the Fourth Virginia
Cavaliy, Col. Beverley Robertson, and the Sixth Virginia Cavalry,
Col. Charles W. Field. The officers of the company were unani¬
mously in favor of the latter and on the 17th of October, 1861, the
troop left Richmond and marched via Ashland and Fredericksburg
for "Manassas," reporting to Col. Field, at "Camp Letcher," and was
designated Co. E of that regiment, and were assigned to the right of
the regiment. Soon thereafter the cavalry attached to the Army
(then commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston), viz.: the
First Virginia, Fourth Virginia, Sixth Virginia, First North
Carolina and the Jeff Davis Legion, were brigaded under com¬
mand of Brigadier General J. E. B. Stuart, and the regimental flag
of the Sixth Virginia Regiment, and the only Confederate Flag of
the occasion, was that of the Georgia Hussars (stars and bars, still
in preservation and in possession of the troop), on the first parade
and review of the brigade near Centreville, Va. Early in December,
viz.: on Dec. 13, 1861, under Special Order No. 260, Adjt. and Ins.
Gen,, Dept C. S. A., the Hussars were transferred to the Jeff Davis
Legion, (Major William T. Martin commanding), composed of
three Mississippi companies, viz.: Co. A, the "Adams Troop," Capt.
W. E. Connor, from Natchez, Miss.; Co. B, the "Chickasaw Ran¬
gers," Capt. Gordon, from Chickasaw County, Miss.; Co. C.,
the , Capt. Perrin, from Kemper County, Miss.; Co.
D., the , Capt. John Stone, from Selma, Ala.; Co. E, the
Capt. Tayloe, from Marengo County, Ala. The
Hussars were designated Co. F, and constituting the battalion, one
of six (6) companies secured to Major William T. Martin his pro¬
motion to Lieut. Colonel. On December 16, the company was de¬
tached for duty with the Infantry Brigade of Gen. R. E. Rodes.
near Davis Ford, on the Occoquon river, on right flank of the army
commanded by Gen. J. E. Johnston. In January, 1862, the company
was recalled from this service and joined the battalion in winter
quarters at Fauquier, White Sulphur Springs, near Warrenton,
Va. In April the battalion left the Springs and proceeded to march
via Madison C. H. for Richmond and the peninsular of Virginia,
and established camp April —. 1862, at Mill, near York-
town, where the various regiments constituting the brigade of cav¬
alry were, for the first time brought together in camp, having prior
to this date been severally detached on isolated duty along the front
of the army stationed at Centreville.
From this date to the close of the war in May, 1865, the Hussars
continued to be a part of the "First Brigade of Cavalry," which be¬
came subsequently the First Brigade of the First Division of the
Corps of Cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia. The itinerary
of the brigade is the itinerary of the company, under its successive
commanders Brig. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, Brig. Gen. Wade Hampton,
Brig. Gen. M. C. Butler, Brig. Gen. P. M. B. Young, and Brig. Gen.
Gideon J. Wright.

The first field officers of the Jeff Davis Legion were William T.
Martin (formerly Captain of Co. A and Major of the Legion),
Lieut. Colonel; and John Stone (formerly Captain of Co. D) Major.
Colonel Martin being promoted Brigadier General , 1863, and
assigned to the "Department of Tennessee," and Major Stone resign¬
ing in January, 1863, Captain J. Frederick Waring of Co. F (Georgia
Hussars), was promoted Lieut. Colonel, and Wm. E. Connor (Cap¬
tain of Co. A), was promoted Major. Previous to these promotions
Captain Gordon of "B" Co; Captain Perrin of "C" Co., and Tayloe
of "E" Co., had resigned. Major Connor was killed at Gettysburg,
and was succeeded by Captain Ivey F. Lewis of "E" Co. (who had
succeeded Tayloe in command of that company). In the summer of
1864 the Legion was increased to nine companies by the addition of
three (3) companies from North Alabama (organized by Gen. Pil¬
low), which became companies G, H and I, Captains Andrew P.
Love, B. B. McKenzie and G. A. Roberts. The names of companies
and places of locality not remembered. In the winter of 1864 (on the
disintegration of Millen's Battalion, (the Twentieth Georgia), which
had arrived in Virginia in May, 1864, the Legion was still further in¬
creased to the number of ten (10) companies by the addition of the
second company of the Liberty Independent Troop, Captain Ben.
Screven, from that Battalion, and from Liberty County, Georgia,
which became Company "K" of the "Jeff Davis Legion," and con¬
stituted. with the Hussars, the Georgia Squadron of the Jeff Davis
Legion*, the other squadrons, the five (5) Alabama and three (3)
Mississippi companies. From the date of its organization Richard
E. Connor of Natchez, Miss., was Lieutenant and Adjutant of the
Legion. Dr. Wm. M. McPheeters was its first surgeon, and was suc¬
ceeded in by Dr. Orrick Metcalf of Natchez, Miss. Dr.
Durden, of County, Virginia, was appointed assistant
surgeon in , 1864. R. Miller McClellan was appointed
Captain and A! Q. M. with Zeb Hearst, of Mississippi, as Commis¬
sary Sergeant.
On account of the loss of Muster Rolls which were destroyed by
fire on the evacuation of Richmond, Va„ in 1865, and other records
in the untoward conclusion of the Confederate struggle, we are with¬
out full information as to the number of engagements with the
enemy in which the Hussars took part, exceeding one hundred, how¬
ever. The succeeding recitation will give record to the fact that they
were not idle spectators of the strife.
In 1861.
With the exception of some slight reconnoitering, the only engage¬
ment of this year was that arising out of the ambuscade, at "Bog
Wallow," on the "Braddock Road," Va., and within three miles of
Burke's Station, on the night of Dec. 4, 1861.

Brief Itinerary of Co. "B," Georgia Hussars, as it is
Gathered from Muster Rolls in Confede¬
rate Archives at Washington
and Elsewhere.
At the c'ate of Muster, Nov. 23, 1861, Co. "B" was encamped .
On March 3, 1862, it was detached from the "Second Battalion
Cavalry," and was encamped on Skidaway Island.
On , the camp was moved to "Isle of Hope." Left that
place April 20, 1862, and moved to Camp Vernon at "Belleview," on
Vernon river. Thence moved to Camp "Rose," about six and a half
miles from Savannah, on White Bluff road. Dec. 10, 1862, moved to
Camp "Edla," within the limits of Savannah.
On , 186-, it was included in the organization of the
Fifth Georgia Cavalry, Colonel R. H. Anderson, and was designated
as Co. "A" of that Regiment, and was in camp at the junction of
Bull and Anderson streets.
Left Camp "Davant," Isle of Hope, Oct. 26, 1863, for "Adams
Run," South Carolina, crossing the Savannah river at "Sisters' Fer¬
ry." Left "Adams Run" Dec. 12, 1863, for "Pocotaligo," and thence
twenty miles to "Green Pond," where it arrived on Dec. 14, estab¬
lishing Camp "Walton" at that place.
Was at "Cedar Creek," East Florida, in April, 1864.
May 3, 1864, was ordered from Florida to Savannah, arriving there

ing one man, Private H. C. Lanier, killed, and Private Wade, cap¬
tured.
On prbmotion of Colonel Anderson to be Brigadier General, the
Fifth Regiment Georgia Cavalry was trans'erred to his Brigade and
continued a part of the same until the close of the war.
So much of the "Legend" of the "Hussars" as refers to the period
anterior to August, 1861, (as it appears in connection with the Roster
of Co. "A"), pertains likewise to Co. "B."
Of the one hundred and twenty-four names constituting the
Roll of the Hussars in 1861, ten (10) enlisted with Co. "A,"
together with four (4) officers, and twenty-three (23) en¬
listed with Co. "B," together with four (4) officers. In the

These eighty-three (83) men (who did not enlist with either "A" or
"B" company), did not submit any resignation of membership, nor
was it required, and they continued to be members of the Hussars
until April 30, 1872, when by resolution adopted at a meeting on that
date, it was declared who were entitled to continue and be recognized
as members. It was optional with the individuals of said list to con¬
tinue or cease membership. (See Minute Book, March 7, 1868, to
July n, 1881).
Although in July, 1861, officers were elected for two Regiments of
Cavalry, it does not appear that they wrere ever fully organized, and
instead of them, two Battalions were formed of the troops formerly
in the First Squadron (commanded b}r Alajor P. H. Behn), and of
additional companies but recently organized. The First Battalion
consisted of the Liberty Independent Troop, the Liberty Guards, the
Mcintosh Light Dragoons and the Glynn Guards (?), and was com¬
manded by Lieut. Colonel Charles Spalding. The Second Bat¬
talion consisted of the Effingham Hussars, Capt. Ed. Bird, as Co.
"A;" the Bulloch Troop, Capt. Best, as Co. "C;" the Screven Troop,
Capt. Conner, as "B;" the Blue Caps, Capt. I. M. Marsh, as Co. "E;"
the Georgia Hussars ("B"), Capt. Wiltberger, as Co. "D;" the
"Chatham Light Horse," Capt. Akin, as Co. "F," and was com¬
manded by Lieut. Colonel Montgomery Cumming.
In the winter of 1862-63 these two Battalions were incorporated
into a Regiment (the Lamar Rangers, Capt. Wm. Brailsford being
included as the Tenth troop), and designated the Fifth Georgia Cav¬
alry, with:
Robert H. Anderson as Colonel.
Edward Bird as Lieutenant Colonel.
Richard J. Davant as Major.
Geo. S. Barthelmess as Adjutant.
Thos. B. Gowen as A. Q. M.
J. F. Gowen as A. C. S.
J. T. McFarland as Surgeon.

From the date of its organization to May 26, 1864, this Regiment
rendered service in the "Department of South Carolina and Geor¬
gia." Upon the latter date it was ordered to report to Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston, then confronting the advance of Gen. Sherman upon
Atlanta, Ga. On reporting, June 8, 1864, it was assigned to Brig.
Gen. "W. W. Allen's Brigade" of "Kelly's" Division, "Wheeler's"
Corps of Cavalry. On the death of Gen. "Kelly" Brig. Gen. "Allen"
succeeded him as Major General, and Colonel R. H. Anderson was
promoted Brigadier General to succeed "Allen," and the Fifth Geor¬
gia Regiment was assigned to his Brigade, which held a distinguished
place in all the brilliant achievements of "Wheeler's" Cavalry in
Georgia and the Carolinas and surrendered at or near Hillsboro,
North Carolina, with the Army of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, on April
26, 1865.

THE OLD BUGLE.
There, on the wall, it hangs, with dented curves and battered mouth,
As though it fought the song of war it shrilled across the South;
As though the blasts of wrath it blew had clutched it in a grasp
That left the lasting finger prints ere it released its clasp,
There, on the wall, it hangs to-day—a token of Time's lapse—
For now it knows no other song than that sweet one of "Taps."
The bent and battered bugle that has sent its thrilling call,
Until a thousand men have hurled themselves against a wall—
Against a wall of bayonets—of bayonets and flame—
And leaped into the charge as if the bugle called each name!
There, on the wall, it hangs to-day— between the soldier caps,
And in its rusty throat there is no other song than "Taps."
Once, sharp and shrill, it burned and blared from mouthpiece out to
bell
With strident sound, and stinging strains, the startling song of hell!
Oft, ringing rampantly, it sang in tone and voice elate,
In clearest, keenest melody, the rhapsody of hate,
Yet now it hangs there peacefully, and sings but when the gaps
In thinning ranks call for the sad and sweet old song of "Taps."
And when they take the bugle down to play above the mound,
No soldier heart, but quicker beats when comes the well-known
sound;
No soldier mind but travels once again the distant ways
That loom anew in memory—though dimming in the haze,
There, on the wall, it hangs to-day—a token of Time's lapse—
And now it knows no other song than that sweet one of "Taps."

mander, acompanied by an order of General Davis, commanding
First Brigade, and a letter from E. Blunt, First Lieutenant and A.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The Colony of Georgia was established under auspices and condi¬
tions differing in some respects from such as existed with the others
of the thirteen original Colonies.
Frequent representation by the authorities of the Province of
South Carolina had been submitted to the government of Great
Britain, as to the extent of their southern and western frontier; its
defenseless condition and liability to savage outrage, with an appeal
to the Crown that it would provide some protection for them. "The
security of Carolina against external enemies" by the proposed set¬
tlement of Georgia "engaged the attention of the British govern¬
ment," etc.* "At the same time for the relief of poor and indigent
people of Great Britain and Ireland, and for the further security of
South Carolina, the settlement of a new Colony between the rivers
Altamaha and Savannah was projected in England."-f-
To this end a charter was granted to "The Trustees for establish¬
ing the Colony of Georgia." What says the Charter? In the pre¬
amble, "Whereas, we are credibly informed that many of our poor
subjects are, through misfortunes and want of employment, reduced
to great necessity, insomuch as by their labor they are not able to
provide a maintenance for themselves and families; and if they had
means to defray their charges of passage, and other expenses inci¬
dent to new settlements, they would be glad to settle in any of our
provinces in America, where, by cultivating the lands at present
waste and desolate, they might not only gain a comfortable subsis¬
tence for themselves and families, but also strengthen our Colonies,
and increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these, our realms.
And, whereas, our Provinces in North America have been frequently
ravaged by Indian enemies; more especially that of South Carolina,
which in the late war by the neighboring savages, was laid waste by
fire and sword, and great numbers of the English inhabitants mis¬
erably massacred; and our living subjects who now inhabit there, by
reason of the smallness of their numbers, will, in case of a new war,
be exposed to the late calamities, we think it highly beco,ming our
Crown and royal dignity, to protect all our loving subjects * * *
and extend our fatherly compassion," &c., &c.
The protection of the frontier of South Carolina it thus appears
was an object of equal importance with the furtherance of the char¬
itable project of the Trustees; and that the advancement of humane
purposes would result in the protection of the Colony of Carolina
"and in turn increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these our
realms."

The Colony of Georgia was therefore created a Military Colony!
"As the strength of the Province (i. e., Georgia) was their chief
object in view, they (the Trustees) agreed to establish such tenures
for holding land in it as they judged most favorable for a Military
establishment. Each tract of land granted was considered as a Mili¬
tary fief, for which the possessor was to appear in arms and take the
field, when called upon for the public defense."*
Oglethorpe being appointed to conduct the Colony, "he formed
them into a company of militia; appointed officers from among them¬
selves and furnished them with arms and ammunition * * * and
as they had been trained beforehand by the Sergeants of the Guard
in London, they performed the various parts in a manner a little in¬
ferior to regular troops."+ Under such conditions, then, and to the
number of thirty-five (35) subject to the fief, the Colonists arrived at
Savannah, 13th of Feb. 1733 (N. S.) and were established in their
holdings prepared to discharge the duties incumbent upon them—
both civil and military. In tours of duty they were immediately put
upon "watch and ward" and set to work vigorously in the construc¬
tion of forts and other defenses.
In full realization of the exposed situation of its scattered settle¬
ments and outlying plantations, the Province of South Carolina had
maintained at Palachocolas, on the left bank of the Savannah river
(which was the only crossing place of the river for many miles above
and below it), and at the eastern terminus of the "lower Indian trad¬
ing path" (which reached away southwestwardly into the territories
of the Lower Creek Indians), a company of "Rangers," under com¬
mand of Captain Aeneas Mcintosh with his brother, Wm. Mcintosh,
as Lieutenant. A like company was maintained near Port Royal
under command of James McPherson, with his brother, Wm. Mc-
Pherson, as Lieutenant, to guard the lower coast against hostile
boat or canoe inroad.
There was a recognized necessity for the existence of these "Ran¬
gers." "These are horsemen, and patrol the woods to see that no
enemy Indians, nor other lawless persons shelter themselves there."
On the right bank of the Savannah river and near the terminus of
the said trading path was the Euchee Town of Indians and subse¬
quently the village of Mt. Pleasant—a trading post.
On the arrival of Oglethorpe at Charleston, S. C., with his Georgia
Colonists in January, 1733, the Governor of South Carolina ordered
Captain MacPherson with a detachment of fifteen (15) of his com¬
pany of Rangers to attend and act as a military guard during the set¬
tlement of the Colony at Savannah, being stationed just above Yama-
craw Bluffs, at a point on the Savannah river known 'as the "Horse
Quarter." In June of this year Oglethorpe advanced Captain Mc¬
Pherson and his Rangers from their post at the "Horse Quarter,"
to the Ogeechee river, establishing that river as the western frontier

405
line. Here was also erected Fort Argyle, of which the said Rangers
were to be the garrison to command the passage of the river, at a
point where the Indians had been accustomed to cross that stream.
Ten families were sent from Savannah to occupy and cultivate lands
there. Fort Argyle was maintained as a military post with a garri¬
son of varying force certainly up to the year 1745, and most likely
up to 1752, the date of the settlement of the "Midway District."
But there was evident need for additional Rangers to penetrate
westward as far as the Oconee, with the object of regulating trade
relations and cultivating amity with the "Creeks."
After consultation with the Governor of South Carolina (who was
at this date Commander-in-Chief of the Militia of Georgia as well as
of South Carolina)* another company of Rangers was enrolled under
command of Patrick Mackay, with Hugh Mackay as Lieutenant, and
Hugh Mackay, Jr., as Ensign. Soon after its entering upon service a
garrison was located near the Oconee, the command of which was
assigned to Thomas Wiggin, who had been an Indian trader and was
an interpreter of their language. On the return of Oglethorpe from
England (at the head of the "great embarkation" which it was in¬
tended to settle at Frederica), in February, 1736, Captain Patrick
Mackay's troop of Horsemen, lately come out of the Indian country,
which lay at Sir Francis Bathurst's at Josephtown, on the Savannah
river, was on Feb. 9th, reduced by order of the Trustees."}" While
there is no reason assigned in connection with this order for this act,
it probably resulted from a letter to the Trustees from Lieutenant
Governor Broughton of South Carolina, in which he made complaint
against Captain Mackay in relation to the Indian trade.
On Feb, 13th Oglethorpe writes to the Trustees: "Having raised
fifty (50) Rangers and sent Captain McPherson with a part of his
Rangers overland to support the Highlanders on the Altamaha river,
it seems that the purpose of disbanding Captain Patrick Mackay's
troop of Horsemen was to retire him, as this company of fifty Ran¬
gers is raised four days after the said reduction."
It appears that Hugh Mackay (previously Lieutenant of P. Mac¬
kay's Troop) is made Captain, and probably John Cuthbert Lieuten¬
ant^, with Hugh Mackay, Jr., as Ensign.
The necessity for Rangers which was recognized and declared be¬
fore and at the time of the settlement of Savannah, which was so
near to Carolina as to admit of possible support in an hour of peril,
was more imposingly existing, when the settlements of Darien and
Frederica were established upon locations far removed from help,
and by such fact in nearer proximity to hostile Spaniards in Florida.
This new and more extended frontier of the Altamaha suggested
some other and speedier line of communication than that by water
along the coast, therefore Walter Augustin (a surveyor) under

escort of Ensign Hugh Mackay, ''with twelve (12) Rangers of Pat¬
rick Mackay's reduced company," begins survey of land route to
Darien, and Ensign Hugh Mackay on completion of same, reports
at Frederica April 1, 1736. About the same date Captain Hugh
Mackay is assigned to "command the hundred of Darien," to direct
and instruct them while they were building their homes and estab¬
lishing themselves. Query, if Ensign Hugh Mackay had but twelve
of the new raised fifty Rangers with him as escort to Augustin, and
McPherson was present with some of his Rangers to guard the
Highlanders, where were the remaining thirty-eight new raised Ran¬
gers? Apparently distributed along the Savannah river at the
"Horse Quarter," near the mouth of Pipemaker creek, at Joseph-
town, Ebenezer and Augusta.
On 22nd of February Oglethorpe visited the settlement at Darien,
appearing himself in the Highland garb, and was received by the
Highlanders paraded by Captain Hugh Mackay in the striking and
attractive garb of the Highlands. This was the first parade of a uni¬
formed company in Georgia, if bonnet, claymore, kilt and targe be
sufficient to establish uniformity.
The exposed situation of Frederica to assault by water made neces¬
sary the establishment of outposts upon the islands to the south, and
Ensign Mackay was sent to Cumberland Island, where were erected
Fort St. Andrew at the northwest point, and Fort William at the
southwest point of that island. In 1737, with his force of thirty
Rangers, he repulsed an attack made upon Fort William by the
Spaniards from Florida, and in 1738, or early in January, 1739,* when
a portion of Oglethorpe's Regiment was stationed at Fort St. An¬
drew, Ensign Hugh Mackay was on Amelia Island, an outpost near
to the hostile Spaniards.
On Oct. S, 1737, Oglethorpe, being in England, announces to the
Trustees that "His Majesty had ordered a Regiment of 600 effective
men to be raised for the defense of the Colony," etc., and that he had
been appointed to be Colonel of the same, with full authority to or¬
ganize. This Regiment was to consist of six (6) companies (al¬
though a seventh (7th) was added in 1742). To the command of the
sixth (6th) company Hugh Mackay, Sr., was appointed, (the same
who had been Lieutenant under Patrick Mackay and Captain of the
"new raised" Rangers of 1736).
According to Stephen's Journal, Hugh Mackay at date of Nov. 16,
1737, was in the Highlands of Scotland seeking recruits for said
Regiment. This appointment vacated the Captaincy of the Rangers
of 1736, and it is to be fairly inferred that John Cuthbert (of "Dra-
kies") succeeded to the command of that company, but there is at
hand no. record of the actual date of such appointment.
Stephen's Journal under date of April 8, 1738, declares Cuthbert to
be Captain of a company of Rangers at "Josephtown," and in Eg-
*See Journal of Trustees of Colony of Georgia, Vol. II., page 874, Colonial Records of
Georgia.
407
mont's Journal we have mention, under date of Feb. 14, 1739, of
"John Cuthbert as Captain of Rangers in Georgia," and under date
of Oct. 19, as having cut a path from Augusta to the Uchee town
Mt. Pleasant; and yet further mentions, under same date, in Ogle¬
thorpe's Letter, as being with the cattle hunters herding the Trus¬
tees' cattle. Oglethorpe at this same date writing to the Trustees,*
declares "two services absolutely necessary, viz.: a Troop of Ran¬
gers and pay for those who head the Indians," and on Nov. 16, 1739,
"for boats and Troop of Rangers to the southward."
Stephen's Journal of date Nov. 16th, says: "News received of
death of Captain Cuthbert in South Carolina (where he had gone
with Lieutenant Scruggs (Robert), to purchase horses for the Ran¬
gers.")
On same date Oglethorpe designates Captain James McPherson
to succeed Cuthbert with Scruggs as his Lieutenant, the company to
consist of thirty (30) men.§ But it is doubtful that he took over the
command, as we find that early in 1740 he was named by the author¬
ities of South Carolina to command the company of Rangers which
that Colony was to furnish as a part of its complement for Ogle¬
thorpe's expeditions against St. Augustine. Such company, however,
did not materialize in season to participate.
Oglethorpe writing further to the Trustees under date Dec. 29,
1739, says: "Horsemen also I am obliged to have—have raised sixty
(60) Rangers." This referring doubtless to the thirty (30) men men¬
tioned under date Oct. 9th, and the Rangers needed to the south¬
ward under date Nov. 16th. This latter was the "Highland Company
of Rangers," which was officered by Wm. Mclntoshf as Captain,
with Charles Mackay and John Cuthbert (of Darien) as First and
Second Lieutenants,$ and Kenneth Baillie as Ensign. On the same
date he declares "a scout boat and Rangers at Amelia Island neces¬
sary."
Captain McPherson not accepting the Captaincy made vacant by
the death of John Cuthbert (of Drakies), the former Ensign, Hugh
Mackay, Jr., succeeds to the command.
It is again to be noted that although the Colony was strengthened
by the arrival in September, 1738, of Oglethorpe's Regiment of six
hundred (600) men, he reiterates the absolute necessity of Rangers
and in full recognition of the fact actually increased the existing
troop and raised the Highland Troop in 1739-
In September, 1739, being advised of war between England and
Spain and having "received orders to make reprisals on the King of
Spain," Oglethorpe immediately took steps to carry out the same.
After a preliminary expedition up the St. John's river, made in De-
"Egmont's Journal: A. Mcintosh's and James McPherson's companies had been dis¬
banded.

cember, 1739, he determined upon an advance against St. Augustine,
Fla., which started out in May, 1740. His force consisted of:
The Georgia Regiment of Foot (H. B. M. 42nd) 500 men
The South Carolina Regiment of Foot 6od men
One Troop of English Rangers.*
One Troop of Highland Rangers.
One Company of English Foot.
One Company of Highland Foot.
Some Volunteers from South Carolina.
And Indians, Boatmen, etc.
Passing over the many interesting incidents of this movement, full
accounts of which are of record in several histories of Georgia, we
consider only the night attack made by 500 selected Spanish
troops upon "Fort Moosa," which was garrisoned by a force con¬
sisting of ten volunteers (Rangers) from South Carolina; thirteen
(13) Rangers from Georgia, under Captain Hugh Mackay; the High¬
land Rangers (number not declared), and Highland Foot, to the
number of sixty (60), and about forty (40) Indians—a total of be¬
tween one hundred and thirty (130) and one hundred and forty (140),
and all under command of Colonel Palmer of South Carolina.
"According to Abram Minis, just returned from the south, the
"party at "Moosa" was about one hundred and thirty, of whom forty
"were killed and ten prisoners. Among the former, Colonel Palmer
"and the latter John Mcintosh.^ Stephens further relates that most
"of those that were killed being either of the Darien people (the
"Highlanders) or of our troop of Rangers; and yet further: 'It fell
'■''heavy tipon our party of Rangers, who were a set of brave young
"men and behaved signally well, but the most bloody part to our
"good people at Darien, under command of John Mcintosh (Mohr),
"who, with some of his company, were made prisoners.' "
What disposition is made of this command of Captain Hugh
Mackay after General Oglethorpe's retreat from Florida is not mat¬
ter of distinct record, but it may safely be inferred that it resumed
outpost duty.
Anticipating that the Spaniards would in turn make an attack upon
him, he addressed himself energetically to the making provision to
meet it. In addition to strengthening his several forts and the or¬
ganization in August, 1740, of a guard of ten men to be stationed at
Wormsloe, under command of Noble Jonesf to watch the
"Skidaway Narrows," and with a scout boat to patrol and watch the
neighboring sounds and water courses, he raised a company of
marines under command of Captain Carr, and in March, 1741, sends
Isaac Young$ out to purchase horses for the Rangers.

In writing to the Trustees under date of April 28, 1741, makes men¬
tion of the "Highland Company" for the woods and two troops of
Rangers for the inland country; and on May 12, 1741, writing to the
Duke of Newcastle, he makes urgent demand * * * * for author¬
ity to recruit the two troops of Rangers to sixty (60) men each and
the Highland company to one hundred.
At a date somewhere between that of Oglethorpe's return to Fred-
erica in July, 1740, and the early winter of 1741, Captain Hugh
Mackay (the Junior who was Captain of the Georgia Rangers at
"Fort Moosa") is transferred to be a Lieutenant of Oglethorpe's
Regiment* and Captain Thomas Wigginf succeeds him as Captain,
being stationed at Mt, Pleasant as early as February, 1741, in com¬
mand of its garrison of 12 men. He (Wiggan) also maintained at
that location a trading store. Scruggs is still Lieutenant of this
company, with John Milledge probably Ensign. Milledge was com¬
missioned Quartermaster of same March 29, 1742.
July 5, 1742, Captain Wiggin0 dies at Mt. Pleasant and is succeeded
by John Barnard as Captain of the troop, with John Mil'edge as
Lieutenant (succeeding Scruggs, when promoted to succeed Mat¬
thews, deceased), who is stationed at Fort Argyle.
In June, 1742, the Spaniards make invasion of Georgia, and on the
22nd of that month Oglethorpe called in the Highland company from
Darien; Captain Carr's company of Marines and the Georgia Ran¬
gers "from the several posts to which they had been detached," etc.J
Responding to this call Captain Noble Jones from his post at
Wormsloe and Lieut. Robert Scruggs appear at Frederica in time to
unite with the other forces in defense of Frederica.
On July 7th, the advance of the Spaniards toward Frederica (from
the south end of St. Simon's Island) with their land forces was dis¬
covered by the Rangers under command of Captain Jones, and the
alarm given.? (Captain Wiggin not being present, because of an
illness resulting in his death on the 5th of July, it would appear that
the command of the Georgia Rangers was committed temporarily
to Noble Jones, who yet held his command of the scout boat and
garrison at Wormsloe).
Oglethorpe "immediately advanced with a party of Indians, Ran¬
gers and the Highland company, accompanied by Captain Gray||
with his Chickasaws; Captain Jones of Savannah and Lieutenant
Scruggs" to meet this advance of the enemy, which was repulsed
and pursued for several miles.
"Hastening back to Frederica he assembled his remaining force
and advanced against the main body of the Spaniards which had
been before his arrival at that point, routed by the platoon of his

Regiment under Lieutenant Sutherland, and the company of High¬
land Foot, under Lieutenant Charles Mackay at "Bloody Marsh." $
After the retreat of the Spaniards, writing to the Trustees under
date of July 30, 1742: "I raised another troop of Rangers," etc. This
is the troop of mention in Stephen's Journal 17th April, I742, to
the command of which Jacob Matthews was appointed with Wm.
Francis as Lieutenant, and sent to establish a post at "Mt. Venture,"
150 miles from Frederica, near the forks of the Oconee and Ocmul-
gee rivers. Matthews dying soon after the establishment of the
post, the command at Mt. Venture devolved upon Lieutenant Fran¬
cis. At the time of the Spanish invasion a party of Yemassee In¬
dians in the Spanish interest fell upon this isolated garrison and
massacred all of them. Leutenant Francis being at the time absent
from the post and at Frederica, escaped the fate of his command.
This garrison being re-established in September, 1742*, Oglethorpe
appoints as its Captain Robert Scruggs, who as Lieutenant of the
Georgia Rangers, had distinguished himself in the affair at Fred¬
erica. Wm. Francisf continuing as Lieutenant, being again com¬
missioned such Oct. 5, 1742.
In 1744 it was commanded by Captain Thomas Jones, with
Pierre as an officer of the same, and next by Captain John Rae until
early in the year 1759. On May 26, 1759, Grey Elliott is appointed
Captain of same.
In March, 1743, John Barnard is made Captain to succeed Thos.
Wiggan (or Wiggin), who died July 5, 1742, in command of the
Rangers at Mt. Pleasant.** Lieutenant John Milledge, his Lieute¬
nant, being at Fort Argyle with twenty Rangers.
In the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Executive Council, i. e.:
Mr. President Stephens and his four assistants, under date nth Dec.,
1747, Captain John Williams^ is mentioned as having commanded or
being in command of a troop|| and doubtless succeeded Barnard in
1744, when the latter took up his settlement on Wilmington Island.
Captain Williams was a large planter upon Stirling creek near Fort
Argyle, having every inducement to defend that post. John Milledge
continued to be Lieutenant at that post certainly until the midsum¬
mer of 1747; and in all probability, to a much later date.
Neither the actual date of Williams' appointment as Captain or
the date of his retirement is given. Nor yet the date of Noble Jones0
assignment to the command. The latter appears on the record in-
dubitally such on July 25, 174.9, when, at the time of the approach of

a large body of Indians upholding the claims of the Bosomworths
"with threatening and dangerous purpose," "they were halted by a
troop of horse under command of Captain Noble Jones and com¬
pelled to ground their arms."
To the intrepidity and courage of Captain Noble Jones and his
troop of Rangers on this occasion is to be attributed the safety of
the Colony and the escape of the inhabitants from destruction.
The unfriendly attitude of the Indians thus manifested and the
possibility of further Indian disturbances to result from French and
Spanish intriguing or other incentive, made necessary the maintain-
ance of this troop and the more necessary because on the disband-
ment of Heron's (i. e., Oglethorpe's) Regiment on July 29, 1749, the
militia had to be the sole protection of the Colony.
Throughout all the preceding years this Troop of Rangers were
actively on duty, being sent as occasion suggested, either as an en¬
tirety or in detachments to such service or location as the exigency
of the hour, required. The preceding incidents establish the exist¬
ence of the command of Rangers, i. e., the "English Rangers," or
"Georgia Rangers," up to the midsummer of 1749, and doubtless to
April 16, 1751, when by enactment, provision was made for its con¬
tinuance under conditions then declared.
On the final departure of General Oglethorpe from Georgia in
April, 1743, the administration of civil affairs devolved upon Mr.
President Stephens and his four assistants, and all military matters
upon the commanding officer of the Regiment.
One of the first acts of the civil government "was the proper and
full organization of the militia." The reqord of their proceedings in
this direction is wanting until 1751, when the first representative as¬
sembly, which provided for a representation of every town, village or
district, according to population, was convened at Savannah, Jan. 15,
of that year.
In response to the earnest solicitations of this Assembly which
recognized "the want of proper officers to command the militia, the
President and his assistants" proceeded to organize and commission
the militia of the Province, and on 18th April, 1751, enacted that:
"All who possessed three hundred acres and upwards of land were
"directed to appear well accoutred on horseback as cavalry; and
"those who owned less property, armed as Foot. The militia was
"thus composed in four companies, viz.: one troop of horse, and
"three of infantry, amounting in all to near three hundred.* It was
"proposed to make the following appointments: Mr. Noble Jones,
"Sr., Captain of the Troop of Horse within this part of the Colony,
"and Mr. Newdigate Stephens, Lieutenant, but the other officers
"were not fixed upon. Mr. Francis Harris, Captain of the Company
"of Foot of this town, which will consist of above one hundred men.
"Mr. Isaac Young, Lieutenant, and Mr. Noble Jones, Jr., Ensign." f

18th April, 1751.

Noble Jones' commission issued June 10, and another to Henry
Bourquin to be Lieutenant in Captain Charles Watson's Company of
Foot, "and yesterday there was a general muster of the militia of
Savannah, and places adjacent, viz.: extending west to Abercom
and south to Midway river, about two hundred and twenty men,
horse and foot. And a commission was given to Mr. Charles West
to be Cornet of the Troop of Horse."f
Captain Noble Jones was at a date near succeeding promoted Col¬
onel to command the militia, "and his son, Noble W. Jones, who had
been a cadet in Oglethorpe's Regiment, was appointed to command
the Dragoons. Charles Watson, Francis Harris and Lachlan Mc¬
intosh were appointed Captains of Infantry.^
The service thus required was based upon the freehold and ex¬
acted of all citizens with exemptions however, as will subsequently
appear.
•To the date of establishment of Oglethorpe's Regiment in Georgia
the expense of maintaining the military costs of the Colony rested
upon the Trustees, but it was claimed by the Trustees that after that
date it devolved upon the British government, and they declined the
payment of all charges for same. As a consequence, there followed a
disbandment of the two companies under Aeneas Mcintosh and
James McPherson. Oglethorpe, however, continued the "English"
or "Georgia" Rangers and organized the Highland Company and
that commanded by Captain Jacob Matthews providing for their
maintenance (as well also of scout boats, etc.), from his individual
means, looking to the government for reimbursement.*
Now that a continuance of this mounted command was to rest on
the basis of land holdings, it is interesting to know who were liable,
under the new law.
In a list of those to whom allotments of land were made between
the years 1741 and 1751 inclusive (as appears in White's Historical
Collections, pp. 32-33 and 34) we find the following names of such as
received grants of 300 acres and upwards, viz.:

(In the above or preceding list, when a military title appears, it
applies to such as had been officers in Oglethorpe's Regiment).
This list is to be reduced by such number as may have died in the
interim, or moved out of the Colony; by such as held public office
and therefore exempt, and by such, whose residence was so far re¬
moved as to make attendance at muster difficult to secure, and is to
be increased by such of the Colony as received like grants anterior
to 1741, and were yet living.
Additional grants were made in i752-'53 and '54, which brought un¬

This list is subject to like increase, and decrease as that which pre¬
cedes it.
The seventy-two (72) of this second list marked with an asterisk,
as also three of the first list (viz.: John Davis and Audley and James
Maxwell) were all settlers south of the Ogeechee river and were
some of those who were located about Dorchester. Midway, etc., and
constituted what was afterwards comprehended in St. John's Parish
or Liberty county, and were subject to the provisions of the Enact¬
ment of 1751, and therefore required to do duty on "horseback as
cavalry."
The following citizens were subsequently exempted from militia
service, viz.: Members of the Council and their officers, Members of
the Assembly and their officers, the Chief Justice, the Justices of the
Court of Common Pleas, the Attorney General, Attorneys of the
Court, the Clerk of the Crown and Pleas, the Provost Marshal, the
Master and Register of the High Court of Chancery, the Judge of
the Vice Admiralty, the officers of His Majesty's Customs, the Sur¬
veyor General, the Clergy, the Catechist of Savannah, the Public
Treasurer, the Powder Receiver, the Commissary, Comptrollers,
Waiters and all qualified acting Justices of the Peace, Pilots and
Ferryman.
In time of Rebellion, insurrection or invasion these exemptions
ceased, except as to Members of Council, Assemblymen and their
Officers, Pilots and Ferrymen.
On 23rd June, 1762, the Trustees surrender their charter to the
Crown and in July following the Lords Justices with the advice of
the Privy Council, issue a proclamation continuing in their respective
places all officers of the Colony, both civil and military, holding ap¬
pointments from the Trustees.*
♦Jones' History of Georgia, Vol. I., pp. 459-460.
NOBLE WYMBERLEY JONES.
Captain of First Troop of Horse Militia.
419
The civil officers thus recognized were Mr. Patrick Graham (who
had succeeded Parker and Stephens) with James Habersham, Noble
Jones, Pickering Robinson and Francis Harris, who continued to
discharge the duties of government until the arrival at Savannah of
Captain John Reynolds on 6th Aug. 1754, as "Governor and Cap¬
tain General and Vice Admiral of the Province of Georgia."
Throughout the preceding period while the Colony was under gov¬
ernment of the Trustees, there is by declaration and act a recognition
of the necessity for Rangers or Horsemen, and a recognition of the
existence of such a command or commands; and while there is not
from day to day such a declaration, it is fair to presume that the
necessity continuing, that the command which grew out of it also
existed. And yet at the date of arrival of Governor Reynolds we are
without the names of the several military incumbents.
UNDER ROYAL GOVERNMENT, 1754-1775.
Administration of Governor Reynolds.
"The commission of Governor Reynolds as Captain General and
Vice Admiral of the Province was read and published at the head
of the militia under arms and was saluted with several rounds of
musketry, etc."*
The first General Assembly under the new government was con¬
vened at Savannah 7th of January, 1755. In his address to this
Assembly the Governor says: "I think it proper for the public
service that you, first of all, frame some provincial laws for the
well regulating the militia." The first enactment of this Assembly
was "An Act for regulating the Militia of the Province, and for
the security and defense of the same.f
This Act was assented to by Governor Reynolds, 24th January,
1755- The XII. section of this Act provides: "And, whereas it
"may very much contribute to the safety and welfare of this Prov-
"ince to have a troop or troops of horse in readiness on particular
"and extraordinary occasion: Be it, further enacted by the author¬
ity aforesaid, That the Governor or Commander-in-Chief for the
"time being be hereby authorized and empowered, from amongst
"the inhabitants of this Province who have sufficient sjibstance to
"undergo the charge and will voluntarily come and enlist to form
"a troop or troops of Horse, not exceeding in the whole two hun-
"dred men, and to appoint and commission proper officers to com-
"mand such troop or troops, and to muster, train and exercise them
"not less than four times in one year at Savannah, or such other
"place, as the Governor or Commander-in-Chief shall direct and
"appoint."
"Sec. XIII. Be it, further enacted by the authority aforesaid,
"That every person who shall enlist in the said troop or troops so to
"be formed shall provide himself with a good and able horse (his
"own property) and with such cloathes, arms, ammunition and fur-
"niture as the majority of the officers shall agree upon, and every
"person or persons so enlisted in the said troop or troops shall be
"excused, or exempted from all service whatsoever in any other regi-
"ment, troop, or company whatsoever (the patrol duty excepted),
"etc., etc."
"Sec. XIV. Be it, further enacted by the authority aforesaid,
"That in time of any actual rebellion, insurrection or invasion, the
♦Jones' History of Georgia, Vol. I, pp. 469-478.
■fThls Act will be found in the "Wormsloe" reprint of Obsolete Acts, and is No. I,
Watkins' Digest,
421
"said troop or troops shall attend the Governor or Commander-in-
"Chief for the time being in any part of the Province."*
"That the said Act shall be and continue in force for and during
the space of three years and from thence to the end of the next
session of the General Assembly and no longer."**
On Dec. 5, 1754, in his first letter to the Lords Commissioner of
Trades and Plantations, he sets forth "the necessity'''' for additional
troops to garrison the southern frontier of the- Province, etc., and
strongly urged favorable notice of same, and in his second letter
he renewed his application as a matter absolutely necessary for
so exposed and defenseless a Colony.f
The population of Georgia aggregated less than 6,500 whites and
the outline of territory to be defended was a circuit of near 600
miles. There were but 756 arms bearing men "enrolled in eight
companies of militia, badly armed, inefficiently trained and widely
separated from each other, and concentration of them difficult."
The increase thus declared beyond the four companies of mention
in 1751 is not accounted for.
The new settlement of the Midway District (in what was subse¬
quently designated St. John's Parish and is now Liberty county),
may account for the increase of one company. The first muster of
this company was had 19th May, 1755, "when the militia law was
Tead at the head of the company.''^
The Enactment of 1751 provided for the existence of a Troop of
Mounted Militia, in which service was compulsory upon all citizens
holding three hundred acres and upwards, of land.
The Act of 1755 provided for the existence of a volunteer troop,
based upon the condition of having "sufficient substances to under¬
go the charge."
The troop or troops then and thus existing or formed under the
provisions of this Act of 1755 became the first volunteer organiza¬
tion in the State of Georgia.^
The necessity for Cavalry, Horsemen or Rangers was empha¬
sized at this date in the fact that the "Cherokee" Indians, whom
the French|| at Mobile, and their posts on the Alabama river, were
endeavoring to excite to hostilities against South Carolina and
Georgia.
*Origin of the custom which recognizes the duty of the Georgia Hussars to furnish the
escort to the Governor of the State of Georgia on occasion of any visit made by him to the
■City of Savannah.
**This was the general limitation put upon enactments.

jits officers not known. It was probably a mounted command or troop of Horse Militia.
■Grey Elliott is commissioned Captain of Troop of Horse Militia, 26th May, 1759.
§Although, according to Stephens' Journal, 22nd April, 1738, it appears "that some"
"citizens, principally of the 'Scotch Club' and their associates, proposed to organize as a"
"volunteer company—apart from the militia. The movement was discountermanded, as"
"the Wards are at present under command of the Constables." Again, 29th September,"
-"1789: "Another effort on the part of the Juntilli (Cabal) to organize a volunteer company"
•'apart from the militia, with about a dozen Scotch servants, whose terms of service had"
•'expired. The General received the proposition with contempt."
UFrench declared war against Great Britain, 17th May, 1756.
422
In the scheme of defense projected by Captain John Wm. Gerar
DeBrahm, the Chief Engineer of the State and an officer of dis¬
tinction and which he submitted to Governor Reynolds 5th Jan¬
uary, 1756, was contemplated the raising of two hundred Rangers.J
The plan did not receive the sanction of the Board of Trade, and
the defense of the Colony remained with the militia.
So impressed, however, was Governor Reynolds with the neces¬
sity for additional Rangers that he raised a troop of about forty to
command which he appointed John Milledge as Captain (he who
had been Lieutenant of the "English" or "Georgia" Rangers),*
with James Parker as Lieutenant. The other officers not mentioned.
On 16th of February, 1757, Henry Ellis as Governor succeeds
Captain Reynolds and was invested with the full powers of govern¬
ment.
On April 2nd, 1757, Jonathan Bryan is commissioned as Captain
of the First Troop of Horse Militia,f and on July 18th, Joseph
Gibbons is commissioned Lieutenant, and James Whitefield, Cornet.
There is no record to show date of retirement of Noble W. Jones,
who had been appointed Captain in 1751.
Among the first acts of Governor Ellis was the submission by
him to the Lords Commissioners of the importance of sustaining
amicable relations to the Indians,"**** of having a few troops of
Rangers to garrison and defend the forts, etc.
The Georgia Assembly met at Savannah, 16th of June, 1757, and
one of the Enactments of said Assembly was an "Act for the better
discipline of the militia by establishing more frequent musters."
In an address to the Governor, 28th July, 1757, the Assembly set
forth that the frontier of the State was protected by only one troop
of twenty Rangers, raised in the hurry of an alarm, unpaid and un¬
disciplined. $
With purpose to pacificate the Indians (war existing at this date
between England and France), and by arrangement between Gov¬
ernor Ellis and Governor Lyttleton of South Carolina, and Colonel
Boquet, commanding the King's forces in the Southern Depart¬
ment, a conference was held at Savannah, 25th of October, I757»
between the Governor and Council and the Chiefs and Head Men
of the Upper and Lower Creeks.
Anxious to impress these savages with the highest possible con¬
ception of the military strength of the town, Governor Ellis or¬
dered that they should be received by the First Regiment of Mili¬
tia, commanded by Colonel Noble Jones. ||

As the Indians approached, escorted by Captain Milledge and
the Rangers, they were met beyond the lines by Captain Bryan*
and a cavalcade of the principal inhabitants, who welcomed them
in the name of the Governor and regaled them in a tent pitched for
that purpose.f This preliminary reception concluded, preceded by
the citizens on horse back, the Rangers bringing up the rear, &c.,
&c.
This "cavalcade of the principal inhabitants," "who have sufficient
substance," these citizens on horseback constituted the First Troop
of Horse Militia existing under provision of the XII. Section of
the Act enacted in January, 1755. They were a part of the First
Regiment of Militia and the term "cavalcade of principal inhabi¬
tants" was a quaint use of an expression to give them recognition
in terms different to the small body of Rangers commanded by
Captain Milledge.
Under date of May 30, 1758, Governor Ellis, writing to the Board
of Trade concerning this troop of Rangers, says: "It is more
than a year and a half since a troop of Rangers were begun to be
raised here. * * I am now supporting them upon my own
credit," &c.J
Again, under date of 28th of October, 1758, he writes: "One point
in particular concerns me so much that I can not now be silent
upon it, notwithstanding I have so often mentioned it. I mean
what relates to the Rangers raised here by my predecessor, who
are not yet upon any establishment; but have for many months
past been maintained upon my own credit and risque. They are
highly necessary to be kept on foot," &c., &c.**
Here we have another declaration from the governing head of
the Colony as to the necessity of Rangers and a statement to the
effect that they were maintained at the expense of himself in the
failure of the Crown to provide for same.
On Dec. 23, 1758, Noble Jones is commissioned Captain of the
"First Troop of Horse Militia," with James Whitefield as Lieute¬
nant and James Box as Cornet, and on Jan. 10, 1759, Moses Nunez
is commissioned Quartermaster of same.
On 16th March, 1759, Noble Jones is commissioned Colonel of
the "First Troop of Horse," and 26th of May, 1759, Grey Elliott is
commissioned Captain of the. "Second Troop of Horse," viz.: that
of the Southern Division.
The designation of Noble Jones as Colonel suggests that he was
commissioned such to command all of the mounted men, viz.: the
two troops of Horse Militia and the two troops of Rangers. A
second troop of Rangers had been raised by Governor Ellis to
command which William Francis had been commissioned in 1757-

On promotion of Noble Jones, Lachlan McGillivray succeeds to
the command of the "First Troop of Horse Militia," 20th July,
1762, with Wm. Smith as Cornet and Thomas Lee, Quartermaster.
On May 27, 1763, Wm. Smith is commissioned First Lieutenant
vice Whitefield, and Isaac Young, Cornet.*
There is no further record in Book B of commissions touching
the First Troop'of Horse or concerning any Horse Militia until
12th July, 1777, when Joseph Oswald is commissioned Captain,
with James Carter as First Lieutenant and Wm. Middleton as Sec¬
ond Lieutenant of "a company of Rangers in Liberty county."
These officers probably succeeding James Screven, Daniel Roberts
and John Screven, who had been commissioned such in January,
1776. James Screven had been appointed Colonel and Daniel Rob¬
erts Major of the Third Regiment of Infantry, Georgia Continen¬
tals.
On 2nd of Nov. 1760, Governor Ellis was succeeded by Governor
James Wright. In the address of the latter to the Assembly on in¬
duction to office on 3rd of November, he calls the attention of
both Houses to the dangers to which the Province was exposed.
"The entire military strength of the Colony at this time con¬
sisted of two troops of Rangers (on the King's establishment),
three small regiments of militia (horse militia included), and a de¬
tachment of fifty from South Carolina * * the whole did not
exceed eleven hundred men."f
At the first session of the Third Assembly "An Act to continue
several acts for regulating the militia in the Province of Georgia
(Act No. 77, Watkins' Digest), was approved June 9, 1761, and on
May 29, 1764 <4An Act for continuing several laws therein men¬
tioned for regulating the militia, &c., was approved (Act No. 116,
Watkins' Digest), which continued those several Acts until the first
day of January, 1765, and from thence to the end of the then next
session of the General Assembly. And on May 25, 1765, was
adopted "An Act for the better ordering the militia of this Province
(Act No. 131, Watkins' Digest). In this Act (No. 131) the pro¬
visions and phraseology of Sections XII., XIII. and XIV. which
pertain to the Horse Militia, are almost identically the same as ap¬
pear in the Act of 1755.
The Preamble to this Act, No. 131, recites: "Whereas, a well
ordered and well disciplined militia is essentially necessary to the
safety, peace and prosperity of this Province," &c.
Section XLVIII. of this Act provides: "That this Act shall be and
continue in force for and during the space of five years, and from
thence to the end," &c., &c.
♦Book "B" of Commissions.
Book "C" of Commissions covers the period from 7th August. 1800, to 2nd April, 1806,
and there is in such form no record of commissions to Horse Militia from July, 1777, to
August, 1800.
tStephens' History of Georgia, Vol. II., p. 19

In Act No. 137 (Watkins' Digest), which is "an Act for the
establishing and regulating patrols," &c., &c., Section IV. of same
provides: "That the several Captains and commanding officers of the
several companies belonging to the town of Savannah shall make
out a general patrol list of their respective companies, including the
horse and alarm men," &c.
The existence of the Horse Militia in the town of Savannah is
thus recognized at this date.
In 1703 there was a company of Horse in St. Andrews' Parish,
of which Thomas Jones was Captain and James Peirre Lieutenant.
We are without details, therefore, as to who held the offices in
the troop of Horse Militia during such period.
In 1772, however, John Wm. Gerar DeBrahm, writing to the
Commissioners of the Treasury (a copy of which is to be found on
page 50 in "A History of the Province of Georgia"), says: "The
first militia regiment is that of Savannah, the next that of Ogetchee
and the third regiment is that of Augusta.* Besides these three
regiments is a squadron of cavalry all better trained than formerly
a militia in Europe."
Passing over the excitement of the people growing out of the
Stamp Act, the organization and Acts of the Liberty boys, the
several dissolutions of the Assembly and the refusal of the people
generally to acquiesce in the inimical legislation of Parliament (all
of which is fully related in the several histories of Georgia), we
note as a partial result of these disturbances and dissensions that
there is no Act of the Assembly extant between Act No. 208 (Wat-
kins' Digest), approved May 10, 1770, and Act No. 214, approved
Sept. 29, 1773, and there is neither text or title of any Act. And
further, in order "to punish the Assembly for their conduct, Gen-"
"eral Gage withdrew all the troops (i. e., such as were on the"
"royal establishment), from the Province, thus leaving the forts"
"unmanned and the settlement without defense." * * * And
the Governor lamented this, as it deprived him of the means of en¬
forcing his authority"! and he dared not call out the militia lest, as
he said "he should arm more against him than for him."
There was also resulting from all the dissensions of the times
much disorganization amongst the militia; change of officers, &c.,
of which their is very little record.
The Militia Act of 1765 (which was to expire in the year 1771,
had not up to 1773 been renewed or continued. However, Act No.
214 (Watkins' Digest), approved Sept. 29, 1773, was an "Act for
better ordering the Militia."
In the fall of 1775 the power of the Royal Government was at an
end. All executive and legislative power was vested in the "Coun¬
cil of Safety," who entered earnestly upon the businss of appoint¬
ing officers for the Militia.
*A fourth regiment, viz., in St. George's Parish, was created in 17T4.
tStephens' History of Georgia, Vol. XI.. p. 130.
UNDER THE COUNCIL OF SAFETY, THE PRO¬
VINCIAL ASSEMBLY AND STATE
GOVERNMENT.
On the meeting of the Provincial Congress, 22nd January, 1776,
"The organization of the militia" was a subject for immediate and
earnest deliberation; and the most efficient measures were taken
to enroll, officer, arm and equip the inhabitants, and to put them in
readiness for any emergency. Volunteer companies, as riflemen,
rangers and infantry, were also formed in several of the parishes
and reported themselves for service.?
It is hardly to be supposed that the Troop of Horse Militia
which had been necessarily maintained throughout all the preced¬
ing years ceased to exist under the alarming and exciting condi¬
tions which led up to the Declaration of Independence, and yet we
can find little of mention of them in history.
There are good grounds, however, upon which to base the claim
that they did exist.
On 2nd March, 1776, when the attempt was made by the British
forces to cut out the ships laden with rice (and refused a clearance),
which lay at the wharves on the north bank of the Savannah river,
among the Provincial troops present we find the "St. John's Ran¬
gers," a troop of Horse from Liberty county, and among the in¬
dividuals conspicuous and active in resistance to such attempt, we
find mention of Lieutenants John Morel and James Bryan,f Lieu¬
tenants, as subsequently appear of Light Horse, and presumably
such of the troop of Horse militia of Savannah.
At some date between July 4, 1775 (the date of assembly of the
Provincial Congress of the Province of Georgia which created the
"Council of Safety") and the early spring of 1776, there is in exist¬
ence two companies of Horsemen.* "Along the Florida line a
troop of sixty mounted men, a body of like strength guarded the
western frontier." The first commanded by William Mcintosh, J
with Hatton Middleton as Lieutenant, and the second by Leonard
Marbury, with Thomas Hovenden the First Lieutenant and Charles
Middleton as Second Lieutenant. Two other companies were soon
after created. One under command of Benj. Few as Captain, with
Ignatius Few as First Lieutenant, and the other under Thomas Ho¬
venden (who had been First Lieutenant under Marbury), with John

Stewart as First Lieutenant. These four companies were constituted
the " Georgia State Regiment of Horse,as authorized by the Gen¬
eral Assembly of the State of Georgia at its session of January,
1776, to the command of which William Mcintosh was appointed
as Lieutenant Colonel, with Leonard Marbury as Major, and An¬
thony Norway as Adjutant.
On July 5, 1776, General Charles Lee, the commander of the
Southern Department, recommended that "the four troops already
raised be augmented to a regiment" and put upon the Continental
establishment. A fifth company was soon after added, with James
(?) McFarland as Captain and Nicholas Bryson as Lieutenant, and
a sixth company, with Cade as Captain, and Wm. Bugg as
Lieutenant.
"In June of 1776, Captain John Baker led an expedition of sev-"
"enty mounted militia against 'Fort Tonyn,' on St. Mary's river,"
"but through the desertion of the 'McGirths' he was defeated with"
"the loss of many of his horses."
In addition to the orders above recited bodies of observation
were kept in motion between the several posts on the southern
frontier, commanded by Captain Screven (of St. John's Rangers),
Baker and Cooper of militia, and Lieutenants Few (Ignatius) and
Williams (of Marbury's company) of the Continental Light Horse.*
The.following items concerning these companies appear as orders
in the minutes of the Council of Safety:
May 14, 1776. "To Captain William Mcintosh: You are hereby
ordered to go with the Troop of Horse under your command and
take the fort now in possession of Germain and Charles Wright,"
&c. Signed "A. Bulloch."
May 15, 1776. "That orders be issued to the Captains of the two
Troops of Horse, that they exert their utmost endeavor to prevent
the murder of any Indians."
May 16, 1776. "Ordered that Captain William Mcintosh build
forts, &c., for detachments of his company of Horse on the Alta-
maha; also on St. Mary's river."
In response to the recommendation of General Charles Lee, the"
"Continental Congress ordered July 24, 1776: "That the like num-"
"ber of Rangers (as in South Carolina),t be raised in the State of"
"Georgia and put upon Continental establishment. That they be"
"entitled to the same pay and subject to the same duties as the"
tAlso designated as "Georgia Light Horse," "Georgia Light Dragoons," "Light Horse¬
men," "Kegiment of Georgia Light Horse," "Light Horse," 'Light Dragoons," "Light
Continental Troop," "Regiment of Georgia Continental Light Dragoons."
* According to Jones' History of Georgia, Vol. II. p. 208, it appears that the Council of
Safety, on 11th December, 1775, issued commissions as Captains to Andrew JVlaybank, of
Liberty County; Joseph Woodruff, of Savannah or Sunbury; Hezekiah Wade, of Richmond
County, and John Dooly (subsequently a Captain of Marbury's Battalion); and as 1st Lieu¬
tenants to James Cochran, John Morrison, Jeremiah Beale and Thomas Dooly; and as
2nd Lieutenants to James Galoche, Moses Way, Jacob Blunt, Zephanius Beale and Wm.
Bugg; and to Thomas Dowly (Dooly), George Phillips and Joshua Smith as 3rd Lieutenants

nate the several locations of the companies thus formed.'

"Paymaster, twenty Sergeants, and five hundred Privates."
The same was submitted to the General Assembly of Georgia
30th Sept, 1776. About this date, i. e., in the fall of 1776 two more
companies")" are added; one under command of Captain John Sal¬
ter, and another under command of Captain Wm, Hill, thus con¬
stituting the battalion one of eight companies, and on Nov. 5, 1776,
commissions were issued to Captain Samuel Scott and Captain
Leoncenatus DeKeyser, each to raise a company, and which were
subsequently incorporated into the battalion.

Be it, further enacted, That such corps retain their accustomed
privileges, subject, nevertheless, to all other duties required by this
Act, in like manner with the other Militia.*
The prompt organization of this Battalion of Horse under com¬
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Wm. Mcintosh is in further recogni¬
tion of a necessity still existing for Rangers or Horsemen.f
In the winter 1776-77 Colonel Mcintosh resigns, as also Major
Marbury, and are succeeded by John Baker as Colonel, with Wm.
Baker as Major.
In April, 1777, Colonel Baker proceeds with a part of 'this com¬
mand to affect a junction with the force under command of Colonel
Elbert, on the St. Mary's river.
After crossing the Altamaha river at Fort Howe, he is attacked
by Indians on May 4, Lieutenants Fraser and Robison (or Robin¬
son) being wounded. Proceeding thence he arrived on the St.
Mary's river, and on Ma3r 12 is again attacked by a force of Loy¬
alists and Indians under Colonel Brown and McGirth, by which he
suffers a loss of eight killed, nine wounded and thirty-one captured.
Among the killed, Lieutenants Fraser and McGowen (or Mc-
Gown), and among the captured, Captain Ignatius Few and Cap¬
tain Wm. Williams. Private Coleman was drowned and Private
Clarke missing,
*In bringing forward the record of acts subsequent to the inception of the government
by the people, it is in advance of the date to which they refer, but is done for the purpose
of compact relation of legislation affecting the militia.
tFollowlng this organization a "Battalion of Horse" for duty, particularly on the North¬
west frontier of the State, was raised, under command of Colonel Coleman, and on the
disbanding of the two regiments of minutemen another battalion of "five Independent
Companies of Horse," to be under command of Major Jeremiah Wilder, was organized in
March, 1778.
431
At some date in I777> and prior to July of that year, the follow¬
ing additional companies (as appears in the following return), were
incorporated into this Battalion of Horse, viz.: That of Captain
Joseph Faulk's, James Bryant, John Dooly and Benjamin Walker.

seemingly disbanded, as also McFarland's and Cades' troops.f

482
In October of 1777 John Baker resigns as Colonel of the Bat¬
talion of Light Horse and he is on October 13th succeeded by
Leonard Marbury. Without any purpose to follow the service of
this command I must say that I find but little in the records to
warrant an inference that the first troop of Horse Militia,the troop
at Savannah—was ever incorporated into this Battalion, or in any
otherwise put upon the Continental establishment.
On March 25, 1778, John Morel and John Bilbo appear by the
original Sheftall Papers* to be Lieutenants of Light Horse, the for¬
mer probably of the Horse Militia, and Bilbo possibly so. In the
Minutes of the Executive Council, under this same date, viz.:
March 25th, a commission is ordered to issue to John Morel as
First Lieutenant, without designation of company or arm of ser¬
vice.
In these Minutes, under date April 13, 1778: "Necessity declared
for two volunteer companies of militia—one of Cavalry and one of
Artillery, to consist of men from the Battalion of Chatham County
Militia." To be officered (the Cavalry) by one Captain, one Lieu¬
tenant, and one Cornet.
On 15th August, 1778, appears this Minute: "That company of
Horse in town of Savannah recommend some one to command vice
James Habersham, declined."
There is no record on these Minutes to show who was recom¬
mended or appointed, nor any information as to the other officers
of the troop.
But in the "Sheftall Papers" there is order for rations signed by
"John Morel," as Captain of Light Horse.
The above recited extracts indicate the existence of the Troop
of Horse, Militia, in the fall of 1778.
In the capture of Savannah by the British on 28th of December,
1778, all American troops, Continental and Militia, suffered serious
losses, and all organizations were impaired and were soon to real¬
ize in the defeat of Ashe on Brier Creek, almost disintegration,t
and we find little of record concerning these Continentals after
this, and nothing concerning this Troop of Horse Militia, unless
they or some of them became a part of that force of mounted men
who had put themselves under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel
Marbury for participation in the assault upon Savannah on the
pth of October, 1779.2
This failure of the French and American forces to recapture Sa¬
vannah resulted in the overrunning the State of Georgia by the
British Regulars, Royalists, Tories and Indian allies, and all inhabi¬
tants along the coast and between Savannah and Wilkes county
*Kindly placed in my hands for examination by Mrs. Cecelia Abrahams. These papers
of Col. Sheftall furnish much information concerning Georgia continentals and militia dur¬
ing 1777 and 1778. They do not extend, unfortunately, beyond December 28th, 1778, when
Col. Sheftall was made prisoner by the British in their capture of Savannah.
+The four regiments of Georgia "Continental Infantry" were merged subsequently into
one regiment.

who would not submit to British rule had their dwellings razed,
their farms laid waste and they suffered every indignity and as¬
sault that malignant cruelty could inflict upon them.f
The care and safety of wives, children and aged parents was
matter of first consideration, and as refugees they were toiling to
reach a place of safe retreat in the mountains of Western North
Carolina.
This accomplished, the arms-bearing men could turn to the
confronting the foe and recovery of the "ashes of their homes."
This resistance was not in organizations as desired and established
by the State Government, but 011 occasion under intermittingly in
response to the call of some of the active partisan leaders of Geor¬
gia, like Twiggs, Clarke, Candler, Few, Jackson and others like¬
wise faithful to the end, who relentlessly followed the foe, in the
Carolinas and in Georgia and fell upon him as opportunity oc¬
curred, until he was compelled to vacate the State.*
During a part of this trying period the State was without a
Governor and other administrative officers, and when existing they
were much of the time in flight, in effort to escape capture.
While some of the official records of the State were removed to *
places of safety, loss and damage followed this much and frequent
handling. Many of such records were wantonly destroyed.
Through these two agencies there is little of history of the Georgia
soldier during the Revolutionary War.
The subsequent removal of these papers, after the Declaration of
Peace, from Savannah to Augusta, and from Augusta to Louisville,
and from Louisville to Milledgeville, and from Milledgeville to At¬
lanta, all wrought out farther loss and damage. But it remained
for Sherman's "bummers" when they fell upon Milledgeville in De¬
cember, 1864, to give an exhibition of wanton vandalism in the
cruel havoc that they wrought, exceeding the execrable deeds
of General Rosse and his army of British soldiers, and Admiral
Cockburn, when they burned the capitol at Washington. £
It is not likely that under the adverse conditions prevailing in
Georgia from 1st of January, 1779, to July 11, 1782, that any of the
Militia organizations were able to keep up a continuity of service
conformably as such, but they were the while liable to service un¬
der the law and subject to the orders of the Governor. But many
of them served in commands other than their own for temporary
service and at the call of active Partisan leaders. In the Histories
of Georgia we have mention of several such with resulting attacks
upon British outposts and foraging parties extending even to the
outskirts of the town of Savannah.J

In one of these forays, 1781, Captain John Bilbo was mortally
wounded, captured by the British and carried to Savannah, where
he died. It was impracticable to maintain original organization,
but for such service as they did render they deserve recognition.
It is impossible to say what number of soldiers the State of
Georgia furnished to the-Revolutionary War.
From extracts from manuscripts of Colonel James Jackson*
(who as Colonel of the Georgia Legion, and in recognition of
gallant and distinguished service, was designated to receive the
surrender of the town of Savannah on nth of July, 1782), "the"
"State of Georgia in the year 1775 had one thousand Militia con-"
"stantly in service, which number was continued until the spring"
"of 17764"
"In the years 1776-'77 the Militia in active service may be com-"
"puted at seven "hundred and fifty, exclusive of two Battalions of"
" 'Minute Men,' which were in service to July, 1778, of seven hun-"
"dred and fifty each, and a State Regiment of Horse, supposed"
"two hundred-and fifty, with three additional troops of forty men,"
"each under the command of a Major."!
"In the year 1778, exclusive of the State Corps, there were two"
"thousand Militia in actual service for nearly six months."
"In i779-'8o-'8i and '82, the Mitlitia may be computed at seven"
"hundred and fifty constantly in service for the whole period. * *"
"This is exclusive of the Georgia Legion, raised in 1781, by or-"
"der of General Greene."
Captain B. F. Johnson, chief assistant to the Secretary of State,
who has made a careful computation, based in the main upon land
grants issued to soldiers, estimates the total during the war to be
about forty-five hundred.
On the evacuation of the City of Savannah by the British troops
on the nth of July, 1782, Governor Martin and the Legislature of
the State which had assembled at "Ezenezer," in Effingham county,
on the 1st of July (under protection of Continental troops com¬
manded by General Wayne), adjourned to Savannah, "which be¬
came once more the seat ol government," when it could be said
that the legislative, executive and judicial powers were re-estab¬
lished in the Capital of the State. But little of legislation was ac¬
complished.
"Although by this evacuation the State was freed from the pres¬
ence of British regular forces on the seaboard, there yet remained
many evils to be redressed and much confusion and misrule to be
reduced to order."§

In the absence of mail facilities it doubtless took weeks for the
news of the foes' departure to reach the refugees where they had
severally found safety, and on reaching the sites of their old
dwelling places, all efforts were necessarily directed to the re-estab¬
lishment of their abodes and shattered properties, saving only such,
as in self-defense, they were compelled to make against Indian incur¬
sions and marauding plunderers. Subsistence was hard to obtain
and existence itself difficult to preserve.
The Militia law of 1773 was yet of force, but its provisions slightly
complied with and but little of time to be given to the observance
of stated military duties.
However, on the 30th of July, 1783, an Act was passed contin¬
uing in force "All laws passed before the 29th day of December,"
"1776, and on the 25th of February, 1784, that all and singular the"
"several a'cts, clauses, and parts of acts that were in force, and"
"binding on the* inhabitants of the said Province, on the 14th day"
"of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand, Seven Hundred"
"and Seventy-six, so far as they were not contrary to the Consti-"
"tution, laws and forms of government now established in this"
"State, shall be, and are hereby declared to be in full force, virtue,"
"and effect, and binding on the inhabitants, &c."
From March, 1781, the date of full ratification of the Articles of
Confederation, until the 17th day of September, 1787, when the
Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, the
Militia law was such as the State had adopted until the enactment
(No. 468, Watkins' Digest), December 14, 1792, was passed adapting
the Militia law of the State to conform to the Act of Congress
passed on 8th day of May, 1792.
FROM 1784 TO THE WAR OF 1812.
On the 9th of Jan. 1784, John Houston was elected Governor of
the State by the House of Assembly which convened at Augusta
under the terms of a resolution adopted 14th June, 1783) which
place was declared to be the seat of government for three
months.*
On March 1st the Governor laid before the Executive Council
assembled at Savannah "the proclamation or ratification of the
definitive treaty of Peace." The Council ordered "that it be read
and published by the Sheriff through the streets of Savannah, on
Wednesday next; that the Militia of the town and the vicinity
thereof be paraded and mustered on the occasion," &c.f
This is the first record of a parade of the Militia after the
achievement of Independence, without specific designation of the.
companies composing the same, nor by whom commanded, nor
how organized, but presumably under provisions of the Act, No.
287, enacted July 30, 1783.$
From this date forward to the record contained in Book C of
Commissions (which covers the period from Aug. 7, 1800, to April
2, 1806), the only record aside from what is gleaned from the files
of the Georgia Gazette** and other old papers in possession of the
Georgia Historical Society, is comprehended in the following
communications under date Dec. 23, 1872, from Colonel Charles C.
Jones, and the two communications following, the one addressed
to John Berrien, and the other from Ben Fishbourn, Major Com¬
manding Chatham County Militia:

Chatham County Militia," is published in the issue of the Savan¬

Editor Morning News:
Dear Sir—As a matter of local history, which must prove of
special interest to many of your readers, now that the old, honora¬
ble cherished volunteer organizations of Savannah are revived, and
new companies are being formed, I send you a roster of the offi¬
cers of the First Regiment of Chatham County Militia, taken from
an official .autograph report made on the 1st of October, 1785. The
original is before me and the authenticity of the record can not be
questioned.

The "town of Savannah at that time constituted but one dis¬
trict," and Captain Schick was designated as the ranking Captain
to "take command of the same until further orders." General El¬
bert was, it is believed, the division commander, and among the
names of those who held commissions in the Regiment more than
one will be recognized as honorably associated with the heroic
memories which belong to the history of our primal struggle for
independence. Although the revolutionary contest was ended, and
the rude alarms of war were no longer heard within our borders,
the absolute reign of white-winged Peace was not yet fully estab¬
lished. Several of the Indian tribes beyond the Altamaha and
elsewhere on the confines of the white settlements were restless
and inclined to depredations and murders. Upon the evacuation
of Savannah, the three hundred run-away-slaves who had been en¬
listed by the British during their occupancy of the city, refused to
return to their former allegiance.
Styling themselves the "King of England's soldiers" and at¬
tracting to their companionship the disaffected of their own color
they established themselves in the fastnesses of the swamps on
both sides of the Savannah river, whence they sallied forth for
plunder and butchery, to the constant disquietude and annoyance of
the citizens. Although in May, 1786, the fortified camp of the ren¬
egades and free-booters—located on Bear Creek, in Effingham
county, had been attacked and carried by the First Regiment of
the Chatham County Militia, in concert with certain troops from
Beaufort, South Carolina, and many of the marauders killed, num¬
bers escaped who concealing themselves in other tangled brakes,
continued the work of theft and pillage whenever an opportunity
occurred. The period, therefore, was one of anxiety and disquiet¬
ude, and serious fears were entertained, in various quarters, of in¬
surrections among the negroes. The duties of the companies com¬
posing the First Regiment were, for a long time after the cessa¬
tion of hostilities between England and the United Colonies, con¬
stant and onerous. They were always cheerfully performed. The
services then rendered by this old Regiment command and will al¬
ways receive our respect and gratitude. It is a matter of proud
satisfaction and congratulation that the City of Savannah can now,
after years of battle, and of unjusifiable restriction and oppression,
welcome the revival of this ancient organization in the person of
the First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia, and see her sons again
bearing arms in her midst, ready as they have ever been, to sustain
her honor and maintain her good name, order and integrity in the
teeth of every disturbing element.
Such was the scarcity of powder in Savannah in 1786, that Col¬
onel James Jackson, in a letter addressed to George Handley, Esq.,
the Secretary of the Honorable, the Executive Council at Augusta,
under date of the 22nd of June, thus- excuses the expenditure of
ammunition a few days previous, when the highest funeral honors,
442
both civic and military, were paid to General Greene: I have been
compelled to use upwards of one hundred weight at the funeral of
that great and good man, General Greene. Will Council be so
good as to let me know if they approve of my conduct there, for I
would rather pay for that powder myself than lay under a censure
for it. It was thought here by all ranks of people the least that
could be shown the remains of that hero by the State of Geor¬
gia."
This high-toned honesty of Colonel Jackson, whose manhood
and integrity in the execution of various and honorable public
trusts, were always worthy of the highest commendation, is pecu¬
liarly refreshing in this, the day of official corruption and demor¬
alization, and revives the recollection of those Spartan virtues
which in such an eminent degree characterized the prominent men
of that period.
But I have said more than I intended. Here is a copy of the
Roster, certified by Jacob Waldburg, Clerk of the Regiment.
Very truly yours,

John Berrien, Esq.,
Commanding Officer, Savannah Dragoons.
Sir:
Be pleased to accept my thanks for your readiness in sending a
detachment of Dragoons to recover my property from the plun¬
derers. The brave and active men who form your troop are a very
essential protection to the community against the depredations of
those unprincipled men who take a station in our back woods and
have given us repeated proofs of their disposition to plunder us.
My thanks are to Messrs. Legardere, Berrien, Welcher, Bliss,
&c., and in a very particular manner to Mr. Young, the Lieutenant
who accompanied me, and who behaved with so much propriety
on the occasion that it is happy for us that he has a command in
our Cavalry.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant,

Regimental Orders.
The Honorable Major General Greene (whose memory ought to
be sacred to every citizen of America and respected by every lover
of the rights of mankind), having departed this life, the Colonel,
from a sense sufficient honor cannot be paid his remains, but what
is in the power of the Regiment ought to be done, requests the
Regiment to exert themselves on the occasion.
The Regiment will parade in the Church square, the Infantry
equally divided into eight platoons, and marched off with shoul¬
dered arms to the front of Major Pendleton's house on the Bay,
from whence the procession will take place. The Dragoons and
Artillery will proceed in front of the Regiment. When the pro¬
cession begins, the Light Infantry will conduct the corpse, with
reversed arms to the left of the Regiment; it being received, they
file off to the right and left, and take thir former post in front of
the Battalion. The whole will then march off with reversed arms,
the Artillery advancing, firing minute guns, till they arrive at the
place of interement, the Dragoons will flank the corpse on the right
and left, music playing a solemn dirge. The procession being ar¬
rived at the place of burial, the Regiment will file off to the right
and left, face inwards and rest on their arms, so as to let the
corpse, pall bearers, mourners, citizens, &c., pass through. The
corpse being deposited and funeral rites executed, the Regiment
will close their files, march up on the right of the vault and give
three general discharges, the Artillery at the same time firing 13
rounds in honor of this truly great and good man. The Regiment
will then march off with trailled arms to the place of parade,
shoulder and be discharged.

The Troop, the Chatham Troop, the Chatham Light Dragoons.
Evidently there was no fixed or accepted title for this Troop of
Horse until the formation, in 1812, of the "Chatham Hussars,"
when the title of "Chatham Light Dragoons" seems to have been ac¬
cepted.
Passing over the records as they appear in Appendix B, there is
little known of the incidents of the service as rendered by the Chat¬
ham Light Dragoons and the Chatham Hussars during the War
of 1812. The former troop entered service with a number of men
too few in number to be maneuvered as a separate troop. They
were therefore merged with the "Chatham Hussars," retaining,
however, their name and rendering separate muster and inspection
returns.*
With the return of Peace in 1815 and consequent discharge of
the volunteer soldiers, it is not likely that their military ardor was
equal to the exactions of monthly and quarterly parades which had
been previously required of them. They were doubtless somewhat
listless and disinclined to drill and not anxious for parades.
The merger of the Chatham Light Dragoons with the Chatham
Hussars continued until the close of the War and was then more
effectually consummated in the purpose to continue a Cavalry
company in Savannah. While the population of Savannah or Chat¬
ham county was sufficient to warrant the existence of two such
companies for war service, it was insufficient to support more than
one on a peace basis. The exact date of this action is not known,f
but it was probably in the fall of 18x6, for we have record of a pa¬
rade of the "Georgia Hussars" in uniform Feb. 22, 1817, under
command of Captain John Macpherson Berrien (who had been Cap¬
tain of the Chatham Light Dragoons, Aug. 3, 1813, and Colonel of
the First Regiment of Cavalry May 18, 1814), with Joseph Haber-
*As appears from an original return made by Capt. James M. Wayne, Sept. 30th, 1814.

of Georgia.
454
sham, Jr., as First Lieutenant (who had been Cornet of the Chat¬
ham Hussars from 31st Aug. 1812, to , 1816).
In effecting this merger it is not difficult to understand that the
element representing each the Dragoons and the Chatham Hus¬
sars were unwilling to have the title of the other recognized for
continuance to the prejudice of their own. Hence a compromise
and the adoption of the title "The Georgia Hussars."*
I do not propose in what I have yet further to present in this
sketch to follow out the career of the command. In the relation of
the historical facts herein comprehended my purpose has been in a
measure fulfilled, although the results are not as adequate as I de¬
sired.
The history of the Georgia Hussars is more or less of record in
the files of the Savannah papers and particularly in the files of the
Savannah Republican in the Library of the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, D. C., in the files of the Morning News, and in the
Minute Books of the troop from March 7, 1868, to date. Under its
rules it had stated parades and drills. The uniform of 1817 is still
the full dress uniform of the troop.f
On stated and extra occasions it held tilting exercises at Head,
Ring and Target with sword and pistol, when was exhibited much
skill and some elegant horsemanship.
*Act No. 34, Lamar's Digest, Sec. 38, provides: "And, be it further enacted, That after
the passing or this Act, all laws and parts of laws organizing a brigade regiment or squad¬
ron of cavalry in this State be, and the same are hereby repealed; and that not more than
onej£°°P cavalry shall be attached to the several regiments of infantry," etc.
+For a few years after its resuscitation, in 1872, a uniform of gray and gold was substi¬
tuted, but there was soon made a return to the blue and silver, as is now in use.

In addition to the standard presented by Miss Belcher to the
Chatham Troop of Light Horse on Jan. 4, 1800 (see Appendix B),
there was presented a standard to the Chatham Hussars in ,
181.3, by Mrs. Geo. W. McAllister. In 1823 a standard (which was
made in France), was presented to the Georgia Hussars by Cap¬
tain John Macpherson Berrien, which was received on behalf of
the troop by Cornet Ebenezer Jackson. On 24th Feb, 1841, Colonel
Joseph W. Jackson of the First Regiment, presented to the Hus¬
sars a flag which had been made by the Misses Rosignol. Another
was presented at some later date (under what conditions not now
known). This was the flag in use up to the year 1861. The same
being supplanted by the Confederate colors, was not carried into
active service, but was folded away and carefully preserved by Mrs.
Wm. H. Wiltberger and returned to the command April 14, 1873.
The embroidery of this flag was transferred to a new field by Mrs.
J. R. Saussy, the widow of Capt. J. R. Saussy (Captain from June
27, 1850, to July 14, 1851), and re-presented by her. This is the
company standard of to-day. One of the above flags (probably
that made by the Misses Rosignol), which was carefully sealed in
a glass case and hung upon the walls of the company drill room
(then in the northwest room, third story of the City Exchange
building) was captured by some of Sherman's invading host in
December, 1864. It has never been returned.
On May 4, 1861, there was presented to the Hussars by Mrs.
James H. Johnston its first Confederate flag, the Stars and Bars.
This flag was in service on Skidaway Island in June, 1861, and was
carried to Virginia by Co. "A" of the Hussars, Sept. 17, 1861.*
On the adoption and distribution of the Confederate Battle Flag
(the St. Andrew's Cross), the "Stars and Bars" were returned to Sa¬
vannah and escaped capture. This flag is now in comparatively
good condition and held in fond possession of the command, as is
also the Battle Flag of the Jeff Davis Legion of Cavalry and that
of the Savannah Sabre Club.
The Hussars volunteered for service in the Indian War of 1835-
'36, also for the Mexican War, and under orders of the Governor of
the State they were in readiness to move, although not called upon.
In anticipation of war, so imminent in the winter of i86o-'6i, the
troop on Jan. 3, 1861, tendered its services to Joseph E. Brown,
Governor of the State of Georgia, with the request that they be
put first on the list for acceptance."}"
While their services were not accepted in the manner as ten¬
dered, they persuaded Colonel A. R. Lawton of the First Volunteer
Regiment of Georgia, commanding at Savannah, to accept them for
service, dismounted, to act as Heavy Artillery at Fort Pulaski, and
they left for tour of such duty on Jan. 29, 1861.
*See Legend of Co. A.
tOn the same evening the Oglethorpe Light Infantry of Savannah tendered their
services.
461
Immediately on the organization of the Confederate government
at Montgomery, Ala., in February, 1861, the troop made proffer of
its services.*
But returning to the period 1817 to 1861, the command often ap¬
peared on ceremonial parades, such as welcome to Presidents of
the Militia, State Governors of the State of Georgia (of whom
they were by statute and tradition the established escortf) and
other distinguished citizens; at the laying of corner stones of mon¬
uments to Greene, Pulaski and Jasper, and others of memorable
distinction. In exchange of courtesies, it frequently visited other
companies in the state, as also the Cavalry companies in Beaufort
District, and Charleston, S. C.; and on several occasions went into
camp at Savannah and elsewhere.
Elsewhere in this compilation appears, in condensed story, a
meagre recital of some of the service rendered by Companies "A"
and "B" during the Confederate War; the subsequent consolidation
of these two troops into one troop, which was effected May 23,
1872.
By the Act of the Congress of the United States, approved
March 2, 1867, it was enacted "That the Militia and Volunteer"
"companies of the Southern States be and thereby are disbanded"
"and prohibited from reorganizing and arming until such time as"
"Congress may decide."
While the military existence of the Hussars was thus for a while
suspended, this enactment did not affect the civil existence of the
troop, which was established by an Act of the State of Georgia, ap¬
proved Dec. 15, 1859, incorporating the command a civil corpora¬
tion. The military organization was thus in abeyance until May 23,
1872. But there was nothing in this Congressional Act of 1867 that
denied to the citizen the right to "bear arms," and in the full exer¬
cise of this Constitutional right many of the Hussars, uniting with
others who had proven themselves to be good Confederate soldiers,
organized, on Feb. 25, 1871, a mounted social club, i. e., the "Savan¬
nah Sabre Club." A uniform of gray was adopted, sabres and pis¬
tols were secured and frequent parades were made. They held tilt¬
ing exercises at Head, Ring and Target and were ever ready to
sustain State and Municipal authorities.
The Sabre Club while organized a civic body, was more properly
to be regarded as a quasi military command. But on resumption
of military functions by the Georgia Hussars the Sabre Club was
absorbed by it, its former members returning to their first allegiance
and many others of the club united with them.
The Minute Books of the Hussars from May 23, 1873, unto date
are extant, and while the record of transactions and incidents are
not as full and complete as they ought to be, they can be supple¬
mented from the files of the "Morning News."
*See Legend of Co. A preceding.
tSee Act, 17K5, preceding.
462
They reveal the fact, however, that the Hussars resumed, the
role of duly. Drills, parades and tilting contests were renewed
with all zest, and a new accomplishment was acquired when they
entered the lists with their fellow soldiers of other commands in
the use of the Military Rifle. The Buffet of the troop is laden
with trophies illustrating success in this line, and it may, I think,
fairly be said paved the way to the appearance of the Savannah
and State marksmen in competition with representatives from other
states in the contests at Sea Girt, N. J., now a National meet. For
a condensed statement of achievements in such contests, see Ap¬
pendix F, prepared by (then First Sergeant of the Georgia Hus¬
sars), Lieutenant Colonel John C. Postell and Assistant Ordnance
Officer of the State of Georgia. To him belongs the credit of
inaugurating the movement to Sea Girt which has been handsomely
aided and fostered by the other commands of the city of Savannah
and other cities, and is now upheld and sustained by the military
officials of the State of Georgia.
There is much of interesting matter yet to be told that will illus¬
trate the efficiency of the command, but the relation of it devolves
upon some successor who may be inclined to compile it. This nar¬
rative is full enough exten 'ed, and 1 am warned to bring it to even
a sudden termination. It has its deficiencies, but 1 hope it may be
of some service.

Troop, accompanied by the following address:
"Sir, I am commissioned by my daughter, now in Boston, to pre¬
sent the Chatham Troop of Light Horse, under your command,
with a suit of colors. In obeying her wishes, I perform a task very
grateful to my own heart, when I reflect that in delivering you this
standard, it is placed under the protection of men devoted to the
cause of their country, and proud of supporting the happy Govern¬
ment under which we live. I feel a conscious satisfaction, that in
your hands it will never be tarnished, and my daughter will derive
no small pleasure when she knows that among those respectable
protectors to whom she commits her patriotic offering, she can
view a much regarded father. I tender you, sir, and the Troop un¬
der your command, my best wishes for your health and prosperity.
"Eleanor Belcher."
The following is the reply of Captain Gordon:
"Mrs. Eleanor Belcher, Madam:
"The elegant standard presented by you in the name of your
daughter to the Chatham Troop of Light Horse, under my com¬
mand, is received by them with very great pleasure. Be assured,
Madam, that such proofs of more than Spartan virtue in the fair of
our country, can not fail to inspire the most patriotic emulation.
Having associated at a time when we believed our country menaced,
and conscious of our just and proper attachment to that happy
country and the Government under which we live, we may well as¬
sure you that should times and circumstances require it, our lives,
and property shall be offered in their defense, and that in such an
alternative, it shall be no small gratification or excitement of our
ardor that we are at the same time defending the very signal gift of
infant patriotism, a pledge we shall hardly forfeit.
I am, Madam, very cordially joined by the Troop under my
command in reciprocating good wishes for your health and pros¬
perity.

APPENDIX C.
As to the Ambuscade.
Elizabeth, N. J., July 7, '97.
Sir: Your letter of June 26th, '97, is before me unanswered at this
writing. I am very busy at present, but you will get a full and
truthful answer to all your inquiries just as soon as I can get the
time to answer.
I am the only one alive, on our side, knowing all the inside
workings of the office in question, and therefore I desire to give you
a truthful statement.
I am, sir, very respectfully, etc.,
Edward S. E. Newbury,
Late Captain U. S. V., Third New Jersey.
Elizabeth, N. J., July 23rd, 1897.
Sir:
At your request and in justice to all concerned, I append hereto
my answer from memory and request that if you see fit to publish
any part of this letter the paper (marked) be sent me that I may
take my own part and not receive a blow below the belt. I have
been compelled to use the personal pronoun I, because I am the
only one alive of the three who knew the undercurrent—there are
several who were of this command living here, but their story does
not tally. I have sent you a journal containing a partial history of
part of this event and with the express understanding that you re¬
turn the same to me. The lines underscored are true to a citizen
but not true as a military man would view them—use the word "Vi-
dette" instead of "rebel picket line"—and while the word "scout"
seems out of place, still my informant was first with his master in
the Confederate lines and then at the house of D. Fitzhugh, as you
will see further on.
Awaiting anxiously your reply or receipt of some kind, I am, sir,
Very respectfully, etc., yours,
E. S. E. Newbury,
Late Capt. Co. E, nth Regt., N. J. V., and Capt. and A. D. C. to
Maj. Gen. French.
P. S.—Did a man by the name of Cuthbert belong to the Hussars,
and was his home in Newark, N. J.?

What Led Col. Taylor to Prepare this Ambuscade.
Our picket line, of brigade, First, Second, Third and Fourth N. J.
V., was nightly fired upon and we were informed it was by a band
of forty scouts known as the Louden County Scouts. I was a native
of North Carolina. My mother from the city of New York, and my
sympathies were, therefore, with Northern people, and after the
John Brown affair I became a Jersey man, enlisting as a private in
Co. D, Third Regiment. Being familiar with night patrol work, in
North Carolina, I was placed in the drum and fife corps in order
that I might be made more available, and after the first battle of
Bull Run I was given a pass to go where and when I willed, some¬
times with instructions, sometimes without. Taylor as well as
Kearny, were officers in the Mexican war, and both were in touch
with my reports when there were any to make.
On the 4th or 5th day of November, 1861, I took with me, of my
company, J. Edwards, a young Englishman, and we went to the
house of David Fitzhugh, who had left home with his family. There
was a negro woman in a nearby cabin, whose son was dying and she
told us that Fitzhugh was coming that night. We waited until mid¬
night, when five men appeared on horseback. We were' in the gar¬
den, but followed their movements. It was quite dark and we en¬
tered a vacant kitchen to get all the information we could. We
were attacked by them. Edwards was badly wounded. I fired at
the horsemen and feel sure I did some execution.
From that time I worked faithfully day and night to capture the
Louden Scouts, staying out four or five days at a time, sleeping
anywhere and everywhere until Dec. 3rd I got the most reliable in¬
formation from a negro (who he was I cannot remember), but I
think belonged to D. Fitzhugh, but it was at or near the property of
D. Fitzhugh. I made all possible haste to report to Colonel Taylor,
who in turn sent me to General Kearny. In a moment the General
was fired as though going into action. I went for Captain Wilson
(Chief of Staff) and he wrote the following order, as nearly as I
can remember:
"Colonel Taylor will take of his command what men he may think
proper and go out and capture or destroy the Louden Scouts. You
may advise with Scout Newbury, who you will take with you.
(Signed) "By order Kearny."
We carried the old Springfield musket with ball and three buck¬
shot, but at my suggestion Taylor sent to Alexandria and bought
two bags of buck-shot and the men added more shot to their charge.
I piloted the troop and went all the way through the woods, crossed
the Acotinck creek on the Guinea road and continued on to the forks
of the Guinea road with the Burke's Station road. I 'had taken
down wire from the telegraph poles which we cut to form an ob¬
stacle to the Cavalry. At this point the mud was very deep, and I
480
had a map of this spot, which I had laid before General Kearny,
and so interested was Kearny that at one time he sent one of his
aides (Jackson, brother of Wolcott Jackson of Pennsylvania Rail¬
road fame) to view this spot and advise on the location. On his
advise this spot was selected and. no time was wasted in putting up
the wires, one wire to reach above the knee of the horse, the other
to take the rider in the breast.
But now several things happened which I could not control. I
knew the troop would come from Fairfax by the Guinea road, as
they did, but Taylor was just as sure they would come from Burke's
Station, And so the force was divided. I with the Captain of my
company and half the men, was left at the wire and within ten feet
of the road.
Then I plead with him not to go on the Burke's Station road, but
to take part of the force and form a barricade of bayonets when
the Cavalry had closed up to the wire and firing commenced. This
he abruptly refused, but granted me permission to take seven men
and endeavor to keep them in, but would not separate more than
10 or 15 paces from wire party.
I must now refer you to the following map that you may better
understand:
481

A. Men at wire.
B. Taylor and his men.
C. 7 men and myself.
Crosses in road represent cavalry
when closed up to the wire,
and showing their rear almost
abreast of the 7 men under
my command.
482
Then to my astonishment, we were ordered that when the senti¬
nel should run in and report the advance of the Cavalry, every man
should cock his piece and take aim and await the order, "Fire." I
could not openly oppose this order, for I had several times been
called a traitor because of my family relations in North Carolina,
but I tried to urge the capture, which I was sure could have been
easily effected with little or no bloodshed. When the order came it
seemed to me as a volley on practice, so prompt was the response
to the order, and the Fifth Georgia Hussars caught what had been
intended for the Louden Scouts.
Question 2d.—Had he any information of the foray which the
Hussars set out to make upon the camp of the Third N. J. V.?
I cannot think that you were of that Georgia Regiment, for the
Third Regiment was in and around Fort North, and it would have
been foolhardy, at that early date, for the whole Army of Virginia
(Confederate) to have made such an attack, for beside Fort Worth,
we were in easy range of Fort Albany (I think was the name), Fort
Elsworth and Fort Lyons, besides other earthworks. So you see it
could not have been that you with 40 men attempted to attack the
camp of the Third. But there was no other information but I gave
before.
3rd.—What number of men constituted the force detailed for this
service?
Eighty men, and were detailed from each of the ten companies.
4th.—What officers were in charge of it, and what casualties if any
befell the Third New Jersey?
Colonel Geo. W. Taylor in charge, commanding; Captain Frank
L- Knight, Captain Co. D., Third Regiment N. J. V. Adjutant
Robt. D. Dunham (died after war), Third Regiment. Surgeon Cox
went with us to the house of Mrs. Lee and did not cross the
Accotinck.
There were three of us wounded: J. Hackerty, struck in the leg
with cut slug; a soldier whose name or company I cannot remem¬
ber, was severely wounded and was somehow left on the field all
night, but was recovered in the morning, who died more from ex¬
posure than from wounds (ice formed that night), and myself. I
received twelve distinct wounds'- arm, side and breast. One was a
pistol shot and the eleven must have been fired from a double-bar¬
relled gun loaded with cut slugs. No other men suffered a scratch.
Now, sir, I have been frank and honest in all I have written and
am prepared to affirm to the above facts. The last clause of your
letter touches the tender spot in my heart, else I never should have
answered your note. It is this: "The soldiers of the late unpleas¬
antness surely learned to respect each other and in their breasts
there never existed the ill will so aboundingly existing in the hearts
of curb stone warriors," and this would have been the reason:
When Lieutenant Dunham and myself were wounded that night an
empty wagon was taken from the widow Lee's residence, and he
483
and I were laid in it and the men pulled us to the camp where, by
order of General Kearny, we had a room specially fitted up for Dun¬
ham and Newbury in Seminary Hospital. Edwards was added to our
number. Edwards teased Dunham and slurred him as a Reb., etc.
But I stood by Dunham, and we became fast friends. General
Kearny sent Dunham two new shirts and a $5.00 gold piece, and
when we parted Dunham said to me: "If you ever get in my posi¬
tion send word to me and you will know that I do not forget your
friendship." This led me years ago to address a letter to the Post¬
master, Savannah, Ga., inquiring for T. Dunham, that I might re¬
turn him his sword and the# letter was given to the press and all
kinds of unpleasant things were said from Georgia to Tennessee of
General Kearny and myself, and then Mr. Dunham appointed some
curb politician who insultingly thought that I had asked for a bid
for the sword, that we were all cowards, etc., etc.
Of course I would have nothing to do with the man, but was only
glad to return the sword to the relatives of brave T. Dunham, for
which I have never received an acknowledgement of its reception,
only what you write in your letter.
Will be glad to receive a statement, as you speak of in yours giv¬
ing full details, and if anything in this, my statement, seems to
conflict in any way with those who were participants, I will gladly
take the same under advisement and correct or explain the same.
August 30th, 1897.
Captain E. S. E. Newbury,
51 West Jersey St., Elizabeth, N. J.
My Dear Sir:
You already have acknowledgment of my receipt of your inter¬
esting letter in courteous response to my letter of inquiry concern¬
ing the ambuscade in which the "Georgia Hussars" were involved
on the night of Dec. 4-5, 1861; as also the copy of the "Elizabeth
Journal" which contains your communication, in part relating to this
incident. I find no trouble in reconciling the phraseology of the
printed account with your written statement, but am unable to con¬
jecture how the "scout" (of the printed account) or negro, probably
belonging to D. Fitzhugh, could have been possessed of any infor¬
mation concerning the contemplated foray upon the camp of the
Third New Jersey Regiment.
From my account of the origin and circumstances of the incident,
you will note that there is a striking confirmation of your recitation
of facts,—as it could not be otherwise when naught in malice is set
down, and when our mutual purpose has been to present facts.
I have been delayed in my response, mainly because of effort to
consult with some survivor of "our side," and with him review the
incidents of the story, but they are nearly all deceased, or being
away from the city are beyond reach. Lieutenant Gordon (of the
story), now Colonel of the First Regiment Cavalry, G. V., is alive but
484
absent from the city, and therefore I cannot submit to him your letter
and my response. I will submit same to him on his return, and
should his recollection be materially at variance with my account, I
will further advise you. There are several survivors of the "Hus¬
sars" (but not present in the ambuscade) to whom I have submitted
my account, which is confirmed by them. I have also tried to see
Mr. B. Dunham, but he is almost always out of the city.
I would like, also, to know if it be your pleasure to reveal same,
the name of the Postmaster at Savannah who treated your letter of
inquiry concerning Dunham with so much of discourtesy, as also
the date, if you can designate it.
Incidentally, five or six of the Hussars will attend the meeting of
sharpshooters to convene at Sea Girt, N. J., on August 3Qth, in com¬
pany with other representatives of military organizations of Savan¬
nah. As they are all very good shots with the rifle musket, even
better than the War Hussars were with shot guns, I am happy to
congratulate you that there are other targets for the illustration of
their prowess than the body of your good self. You will find our
representatives at Sea Girt a little nearer to the Jersey men than
they were at the Bog Wallow; indeed, "cheek by jowl," and in
active interchange of courtesies, day time and night time.
Kindly submit to Cuthbert my relation. It will doubtless interest
him; also, please convey to him assurances of kindest remem¬
brance, with the hope that his lines have fallen in pleasant places.
He will doubtless sing for you "the little pigs lay with their tails all
curled," etc., and while he has a pleasant voice for conversation I
will not vouchsafe its character for the utterance of harmony in
song, and I beg for him on this occasion that you do not open fire
upon him while singing.
Very respectfully yours, etc.,
A. McC. Duncan.
THE STORY OF "BOG WALLOW."
By way of Preface.
The "Georgia Hussars" is a cavalry organization of the city of
Savannah, Georgia, dating its organization from 1736. When the
conflict between the States was imminent they equipped themselves
for active service. 'On inauguration of the Confederate Government
at Montgomery, Ala., on Feb. 4th, 1861, they made tender of service
for duty in Virginia, "free of all cost to the government as far as
Richmond, Va." They were fully armed with sabres, Colts' navy
pistols, and Maryland rifles, and fully equipped otherwise, at their
own cost, with everything else requisite except wagons for field
.transportation. The response to their tender received from L. P.
Walker, Confederate Secretary of War, was: "Got no use for cav¬
alry." (As to the wisdom of this declaration, let the subsequent
conduct of the war and its concluding days attest).
On the night of the battle of "Bull Run," however, the need of
Cavalry was realized, and intimation was wired that the services of
the "Hussars" would be accepted for duty in Virginia upon the
terms originally proposed. This fact coming to the knowledge of
Jos. E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, he issued orders
to prevent them leaving the State, and directed in the event of non¬
compliance that the State's arms should be "turned in." The "Hus¬
sars" having definitely determined to go to Virginia, paid no heed to
the interdict, and surrendered their arms.
To secure arms otherwise, they invaded the garrets and cellars of
every household of citizens previously members of the troop, and
brought to light and into use many sabres of such fashion as had
been used in the "Revolutionary War" and the "War of 18x2,"
bought pistols of every style and calibre, and double-barrelled shot¬
guns; secured a supply of ammunition; and took such other meas¬
ures for proper equipment as the peculiar conditions imposed. Be¬
cause of limited resources much delay ensued, and it was not until
Sept. 17th, 1861, that they were fitted to commence the journey to
Richmond. It cost within a fraction of $25,000 to carry out the
proposition of "free of cost to the government."
On reaching Virginia they were privileged to determine their
assignment. There being at that date in' the Army at Centreville,
Va., under command of General Jos. E. Johnston, two incomplete
regiments of Cavalry, viz.: the Fourth Virginia, Colonel Beverly
Robertson; and the Sixth Virginia, Colonel Charles W. Field (for¬
merly Assistant Instructor of Cavalry Tactics at West Point and
subsequently Major General succeeding John B. Hood in command
of his division), they elected the Sixth Virginia, and reporting to
486
Colonel Field the Hussars were complimented with position on the
right of the Regiment, being Co. "E" of the same, and were asso¬
ciated in squadron with a troop under command of Captain Du-
laney, who was subsequently Colonel of the Seventh Virginia, and
sometimes Acting Brigadier of the old "Ashby" Brigade.
Within ten days after the ambuscade, the Hussars were trans¬
ferred to the Jeff Davis Legion of Cavalry (composed at that date
of three companies from Mississippi and two companies from Ala¬
bama), becoming Co. "F" of that organization. The Jeff Davis
Legion was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wm. T. Martin, sub¬
sequently Major General, Wheeler's Corps of Cavalry, Army of
Tennessee. Captain J. Fred Waring of the "Hussars" succeeded
Martin in command of the J. D. Legion as its Lieutenant Colonel,
the Battalion being raised to a Regiment.
Now as to
The Story of the Bog Wallow.
(which is the name by which we designate the locality of the am¬
buscade).
In the latter part of the month of October or the first week in
November, 1861, a review of General Van Dorn's Division of In¬
fantry (four brigades), was held at a short distance from the camp
of the Sixth Virginia Cavalry. This review was attended by Colonel
Field and many of his command. On its completion General Van
Dorn, acompanied by some of his staff, repaired to the headquarters
of Colonel Field for refreshment and interchange of courtesy. After
a general discussion of the situation, it was said that General Van
Dorn remarked to Colonel, Field: "If you will ascertain that any
considerable force of the enemy are so far removed from support
as to prevent prompt succor, I will take out my division and stir
them up." Colonel Field immediately sending for Captain Waring
of the "Hussars," made known to him this proposition of General
Van Dorn, and asked if he (Waring) would undertake to secure the
information, to which Captain Waring replied that he would en¬
deavor to do so. On that same evening, if my memory is correct
(probably Nov. 3rd) Waring set out from the camp of the Sixth Vir¬
ginia Cavalry, accompanied by First Lieutenant David Wauldhauer,
Corporal R. C. Guerard and Private Lachlan H. Clemens. On their
way out toward the line of the enemy they espied a lot of turkeys
at roost in the premises of an abandoned homestead (probably the
D. Fitzhugh house, just across and east of the Accotinck) and de¬
termined to take them in on their return trip, after completion of
the reconnaissance. Pushing on toward Alexandria, Waring ac¬
quired such information as led him to report that he thought the
Third New Jersey Regiment of Infantry was so situated in their
encampment that it was possible to surprise them.
487
On the way back, after the reconnaissance, they stopped at the
abandoned house with purpose to secure the turkeys, and Private
Clemens dismounting passed over the fence into the enclosure and
approached the kitchen. On opening the door of the same he was
fired upon. One of the shots aimed at Clemens glancing from the
fence or passing through a panel of same, struck Captain Waring
on the outside of his thigh with the force of a spent ball, whereupon
Waring sung out, thinking that Clemens was shooting at the tur¬
keys: "Look out! Xach," you're shooting me." To which "Lach"
replied, being at the moment engaged in the interchange of shots
with some one or more persons in the kitchen: "Captain, there are
several of us shooting here." Immediately after he regained his
horse and the. party retired from the inhospitable household. In his
subsequent relation of the circumstances, Clemens expressed himself
of the belief that the kitchen was full of Yankees. Is it not likely
that the occupants of the kitchen on this occasion were Newbury
and Edwards? The results of the reconnaissance were made known
to Colonel Field, and it is to be supposed were communicated to
General Van Dorn; but no movement was instituted by him, nor did
Colonel Field, so far as I know, issue any order based upon the re¬
port made to him.
On the 4th of December, in discharge of their tour of duty on
the outpost, the Hussars were detailed for picket duty and repaired
to the occupancy of the line which extended from Fairfax C. H. by
way of Fairfax Station to Sangster's X Road, the number of men
reporting for duty, four officers and twenty-three men. The reserve
being established at the Daingerfield House, but a short distance
west of the Station, videttes were posted in advance of the Court
House, the Station and X Road.
At about 10 o'clock of the night of the 4th of December, Captain
Waring made known to the undersigned, at that date the Junior
Second Lieutenant of the Troop, his purpose to move out toward
the enemy and that he would leave three (3) men, one at each post,
with me with which to maintain the outposts (a mark of great con¬
fidence in my prowess or abundant assurance that the enemy would
not move upon me during the night). Would General Johnston
have slept complacently had he known of the slight defense that in¬
tervened between his army and that of the foe? Captain Waring
did not make known to me either previous to the movement or at
the moment of going forth, what was his destination or purpose, and
while he may have entertained the design to utilize at some time on
his own motion the information obtained by his reconnaissance, I
doubt very much if he made the same known to any one previous to
the night of its execution, when he probably communicated it to
Lieutenants Waldhauer and Gordon.
The purpose of the expedition as contemplated by Captain War¬
ing, was to approach near to the picket line of the enemy and dis¬
mounting, leave the horses in some secluded thicket; to then pro-
488
ceed warily to within close proximity of the camp of the Third New
Jersey, burst suddenly upon their slumbers and with a yell and dis¬
charge of firearms, surprise, startle and stampede, and in the midst
of ensuing excitement, work what damage as could be wrought and
retire away to horse. Similar venture successfully undertaken sub¬
sequently by Mosby and other scouts at later dates, when the enemy
was more on the alert for such attempts and on the lookout for
same, show that the purpose was not altogether a reckless one, al¬
though it was "nipped in the bud."
Taking up the route from Daingerfield House, the Hussars pro¬
ceeded via Fairfax Station and Sangster's X Road across country
into the Braddock (as we knew it and not "Guinea," as you call it)
Road, probably at or near "Williams" house (See sheet I., plate
XII., map of Northeastern Virginia and vicinity of Washington,
etc., as published in connection with the "War of the Rebellion"),
along which road they moved toward the "Accotinck."
The party consisted of Captain Waring, Lieutenants Waldhauer
and Gordon, First Sergeant Dunham and twenty others, twenty-four
total. Each one of the party, except Captain Waring, was armed
with a double-barrelled shotgun, loaded with buck-shot. (As to
slugs, I can neither affirm nor deny, and inasmuch as the guns were
loaded after such fashion as each one determined for himself, it is
possible that slugs wrere used by one or more. As you declare that
your own wounding was in part from such missiles, you have the
ocular and bodily proof that such were fired upon you).
Moving along the road in column of twos, Waring and Waldhauer
led, followed by Gordon and Dunham, and so on to the rear, which
was brought up by Corporal Washburn and Private Heidt. Private
Clemens was riding in advance, followed within sight by Private
Bird, who in turn was kept in sight by Capt. Waring. Being yet
some distance away from where they expected to come within hear¬
ing of the enemy, some of the men were singing in subdued tones
the comic song of "The little pigs lay with their tails all curled,"
never dreaming that there lay perdu the little detail of the Third
New Jersey with their guns all cocked, and in all readiness to
"hurl" upon them a spirited recognition.
On defiling from the cut in the road into the boggy bottom that
lay between the cut and the point where wires were stretched across
the road, Clemons' pace was retarded in his passage over the bog,
the surface of which being pitted by print of horse hoofs filled with
ice, gave uncertain and insecure footing to his horse. Under these
conditions "Bird" closed up into close proximity with Clemens, and
"Waring" in turn upon "Bird." On reaching the boggy place, how¬
ever, Waring and Waldhauer separated from each other in the at¬
tempt to avoid the bog, diverging in purpose to skirt the edge of the
woods adjoining on each side, the men of the two files severally
following their leader. This disseveration into two files doubtless
secured immunity from greater casualty.
489
It was soon apparent to "Waring" that "Clemens" and "Bird"
had been impeded in their progress. (At this moment also Wash¬
burn and Heidt were just emerging from the cut in the road and
were about entering the bog). Waring made inquiry: "What is the
matter, Lach?" Lach (or Clemens) had barely responded: "Cap¬
tain, there is a rope across the road!" when a volley from the
"Knight" startled all hands into a recognition of the fact that it was
not a "stilly night."
In consequence of this volley Waring uttered the order: "Twos
left about, charge," which was intelligently interpreted by the "Hus¬
sars" to mean "Get out of there," which they executed by a right
and left, about and dash backward toward Fairfax Station. Imme¬
diately after the volley some one of the enemy stationed near the
mouth of the cut issued an order "to cross the road," with a view to
intercept the process of retirement. This order seemingly was not
complied with and although it was tactically a good one if it had
been executed, it would not, I think, have resulted in any detention
of the Hussars, who at that moment were seriously bent upon the
execution of a purpose to get out of the bog.
While executing the movement to the rear, seventeen barrels of
the forty-four borne by the Hussars were discharged in the direction
from whence had come the fire upon them; some of the men dis¬
charging both barrels of their guns, some one barrel, and others
again no barrel at all.
In the execution of the about and perhaps at the very moment
of its completion, even before a single stride had been made to the
rear, Private Heidt was shot in the left leg below the knee, the
charge breaking the bone of the leg and passing into the body of
the horse, felled him at the mouth of the cut. Over this fallen
horse, whose body in a measure blocked the line of exit, each horse
in turn had to jump or scramble. Several of the horses fell in at¬
tempting to do so, among them those ridden by Lieutenant Gordon
and Privates Ball and Cuthbert. If I recollect rightly, these three
horses, together with Heidt's, were lost to us.
During the execution of the movement to the rear, Private Clem¬
ens dismounted, picked up his cap which had been knocked from
his head by a bullet which entered at the front and grazed the top
of his skull, and remounted while yet in the bog. Lieutenant Wald-
hauer dismounted and picked up Heidt in disabled condition, put
him upon his (Waldhauer's) horse and carried him safely away.

may in measure be faulty,
and as you examined the
locality more leisurely
and more in detail than I
did, will be glad to have
you suggest any correc¬
tion or modification you
may think proper to be
made.
This place was surely a
cul-de-sac and the PIus-
sars could well congratu¬
late themselves because of
their escape from more
serious disaster than what
befell them.
491
The casualties resulting to the "Hussars" other than the loss of
horses already accounted for, were as follows:
CAPTAIN WARING—Wounded in the face, the ball furrowing
his cheek. His clothes much riddled with buck-shot.
SERGEANT THOS. H. DUNHAM—Missing. His horse being
recovered to the rear, with one stirrup over the saddle, indicating
that he had fallen from his seat. Subsequently known to have been
wounded and captured.
PRIVATE HEIDT—Wounded in leg below the knee, bone
broken. Subsequently died of wound.
PRIVATE McINTOSH—Three buck-shot wounds in shoulder.
Recovered.
PRIVATE CLEMENS—Slightly wounded in shoulder, clothes
perforated.
The clothes of several other men were perforated, and the coat
of Private Bird was well singed with powder, showing a very close
proximity with the muzzle of some gun.
The command with the exception of "Dunham" and the missing
horses returned to Fairfax Station before day on the morning of
Dec. 5th. To this point also at daylight repaired General J. E. B.
Stuart at the head of the First Maryland Regiment of Infantry and
the First Georgia Regiment of Regulars, with purpose to make
a reconnaissance toward the lines of the enemy, but ignorant until
he reached the Station of the Hussar expedition. Directing Waring
to accompany him with his company, the undersigned was sent for¬
ward with the advance guard. My memory does not avail me at this
date to indicate what was the route pursued, points reached, nor
other particulars, saving only that we went to "Bog Wallow" and
its neighborhood. In the course followed, however, I came up with
and captured one of the Third New Jersey bearing his arms (his
name forgotten) who stated that he was one of eighty men (eight
picked men from each company) detailed to constitute the ambus¬
cade, and that he on hearing the command to "charge" uttered, ex¬
pected the "Hussars" would penetrate into the pine thicket where
he was stationed and that in the endeavor to avoid it he became
separated from his command and lost. From citizens or negroes we
also learned that the casualties resulting to the Third New Jersey
were one killed and two wounded, and that they had been removed
in a wagon.
In the above recitation of our story, I have been very prolix, and
have entered into very minute details—much more so than a simple
historative relation calls for, but I desired to put the facts on record,
and thought you would not object, if it were even a little tedious.
It is not amiss to fight over the battle.
I coincide with you that the trap was not prepared for the "Hus¬
sars," but for the "Louden Scouts" (of whom, by the way, I never
492
heard by such title. Could they have been the origin and nucleus
of Mosby's men?) and we ingenuously and unwarily entered into
the toils. Well, why didn't they come to claim their own?
But whence and from whom did the negro, who informed you of
the foray intended to be made on Dec. 4th upon the lines at "An-
nandale" and "Munson's Hill," obtain such information? Did some
other party contemplate an expedition other than the Hussars?
This much is still a mystery unsolved, and I suppose to remain so.
It is very gratifying to know of the care and attention shown to
Dunham while captive in your hands, by General Kearny (who
added to his laurels earned as a hard fighter the graces of kindli¬
ness) yourself and others. By the way, a son of Mr. Walcott
Jackson you mention, married two years ago a lady of Savannah,
the grand-daughter of Colonel Screven, one of our leading citizens.
Some of these Jacksons seem to want to get in close touch with the
people of Savannah.
I have as yet taken no steps toward having your account pub¬
lished. Should I succeed in having it published, I will surely send
you copy of same.
Respectfully yours, etc.,
A. McC. Duncan.
Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 2d, 1897.
A. McC. Duncan, Esq.
Dear Sir:—You have not given me your military title, so I am
compelled to address you as a plain citizen.
In reading over my printed account in the Journal I find a mis¬
take where I state that we "passed out of our lines at Munsel's Hill."
It should read "Edsal's" instead of Munsel's Hill. You are right
in Braddock Road instead of Guinea Road, as in my account.
After reading your account I must think that there was some un¬
derstanding between D. Fitzhvgh, who was interested in keeping
his eye on his home as well as an interest in the success of the
Southern Army. D. Fitzhugh in turn, possibly, visited his home
that night to remove his household effects and in consequence had
hired negroes to assist while your Cavalry was out beyond. But,
however, you can see plainly, by events as they follow, that my in¬
formation was of a positive nature.
I have always thought that Dunham knew of the existence of the
Louden Scouts, for it seems to me that he told us that the Scouts
had been sent on another mission that 4th of December, and the
Hussars sent in their place, and there were forty instead of twenty-
three, as in your statement. But thirty-six years blunts memory,
and I must use the phrase "to the best of my memory."
During the Hayes campaign I addressed a letter to "The Post¬
master of Savannah." Did not know his name, nor can I tell you
the date any nearer. I simply asked after Dunham, that I might
493
get a history of the sword which we had captured on his person and
which had been given to me by order of General Franklyn.
But my real object was to renew the friendship formed while we
were in the Hospital together.and to return him his sword which I
knew he so lamented the loss of. But I did not know he had an¬
swered the last roll call nor did I know that the sword was so much
thought of until I got its history from Mr. B. Dunham.
I. have examined no map of the location, but I must think that
the D. Fitzhugh house was south of the Accotinck creek (not east as
you say) and lay between Accotinck and Fairfax, and it lay at least
one-fourth mile back from the Braddock road. Now as we lay in
the garden of D. Fitzhugh, one stood guard while the other slept,
(we had taken a mattress and covers from the house to the garden)
and I feel assured that when the Cavalry came to D. Fitzhugh's
house they came through Bog Wollow and turned from Braddock
road to D. Fitzhugh's house and did not cross Accotinck before our
kitchen skirmish. There were undoubtedly (memory) five horse¬
men, four military and one citizen. They rode in and back of the
house to where the negress and sick boy were, and conversed sev¬
eral minutes. Then coming back near the kitchen one dismounted
and instead of coming to the back door where, he dismounted, he
jumped the rail fence at one end of the house and went to the
front door. Now Edwards stood at the door with the door open
held with his left hand, his Navy in his right, his right foot extended
and pistol cocked and arm extended all ready to fire, (but we were
there for information and would not show our hand unless forced)
so when the soldier came to the door, pistol in hand, he must have
seen Edwards between the doors and holding the front door and
instantly fired. Ball entered Edwards' arm above the elbow, came
out six inches above, then struck in the back about eight inches
from the spine and lodged almost against the spinal column.
Now, if you will place yourself as I have described Edwards' posi¬
tion, you will see how this one shot could have made this double
wound. Clements (if it was he) then jumped the rail fence at the
other end of the house and as he came near the back door I fired at
him from my Sharp rifle. At that Edwards fearing that he might
fall in your hands, left the kitchen for the woods and left me alone.
I loaded my Sharp in a second and then I fired at the four horse¬
men and thought by the little I could see that I had emptied one
saddle. Clements went for his horse and a retreat was made by
the Cavalry and all was over.
Fearing that the four would surround the kitchen and send for
assistance I made my way to the woods and laid for one hour at
the gate in the woods hoping to get one more shot. While thus
waiting I heard a noise at the fence and saw a person climbing over.
I turned my rifle on him and heard him groan as he got over. Then
my mind was on Edwards, and calling found it was he, to my great
joy. I got lost that night; not a star was Visible and the wind
494
changing I could not hear the roar of the creek. So getting in a
corn field I counted the rows to what I thought was the center, and
pulling up corn stalks I laid Edwards down. He was delirious for
water and I afraid if I left him I would never find him. Now he
must have water and all I had was a monogram cup taken from the
D. Fitzhugh house as a memento. (I had taken three sheets of
music) I took the cup and by keeping account of the corn rows both
ways I finally found water and relieved him by constantly supply¬
ing him.
At 4 o'clock the wind changed, I heard the welcome sound of the
creek, but Edwards could not stand, the ball in his back had par¬
tially paralyzed his lower limbs.
I took him on my back and carried him, but the agony was intense
—he could only hold to me with one hand. When we got to the
creek we had to cross on a log and when we reached the opposite
side I slipped and we fell headlong over the stump to the ground.
Edwards shrieked with pain and I jumped to put my hand over
his mouth to stifle his cries. I reached camp with him at 7 o'clock
p. m. that day. It had drizzled from 2 o'clock that morning until
after Edwards was in Hospital, wet, tired and hungry.
Now in your diagram of Bog Wallow you have made it appear
like I have placed the dotted line, while in fact it was only a narrow
swamp road not more than fifteen feet wide or eighteen at most, and
you have the wire placed at X, while I put it from tree to tree at A.
Captain Waring's informant in regard to the location of the camp
of the Third Regiment must have been either a knave or a fool, for
I stated in my narrative before given the Third was in Sibley tents
in and around Fort North. Our picket line was half mile beyond
Edsals house and one and one-half miles beyond our camp, with
videttes yet beyond our picket line; then every approach between
picket line and forts were well guarded.
After emptying my rifle I ordered my men into the road, but in¬
stantly the flash from both barrels of a gun and I lay insen¬
sible on the ground. Cautiously returning almost at once I was as
one in nightmare. . I heard, or imagined, praying and cursing
mingled with the shrieks of wounded horses, and finally found I was
unable to stand on my feet. I was carried to the widow Lee's house,
where Dunham and Newbury were laid side by side in a wagon and
drawn in by the men. One of our wounded walked in, the other
remained on the field until morning, next, and died soon after
reaching the Hospital, more from exposure than from wounds.
In closing, I must thank you for the straightforward, soldierly
and gentlemanly wording of your narrative. It should be at this
date we who participated in the bloody struggle forget the questions
that brought about the unhappy state of affairs and only view each
other as heroes, because you as well as we offered our lives freely
for the cause we conscientious'y felt called on to defend. For me I
would ask no better company, if the needs of our common country
495
called for defense, than such men and officers as entered Bog Wal¬
low on the night of 4th and 5th December, 1861.
I cannot account for the shot in the leg of Heidt unless in closing
up on the wire he turned and faced our men or turned entirely
around; or else the shot passed first through his horse and then in
his leg, for there was one simultaneous quick discharge, and not
one shot after, as I can remember.
I am astonished that you cannot place the Louden Scouts, as I
seemed to think that Dunham had told me that they had taken some
of the Hussars occasionally to show them the routes; and also that
the shot that struck Captain Waring first struck the pommel of his
saddle and so saved his life.
. I would love dearly well to meet the Hussars at Sea Girt, but can¬
not get off. Would love dearly well to have a talk about the days
passed into history. Again thanking you for your narrative, etc., I
remain, . ,
Respectfully, etc.,
(Signed) E. S- E. Newbury.
APPENDIX D.
The Death of Second Lieutenant Joseph McLeod Turner,
"Georgia Hussars," Company "A."
Because of serious losses inflicted by reason of arduous service
and insufficient provender, the Cavalry of the Army of Northern Vir¬
ginia, especially those from the South Atlantic, and Gulf States, ex¬
perienced much trouble in keeping themselves mounted. In purpose
to remount them a system of furloughs was adopted—"horse fur¬
loughs." The Cavalry of the South provided their own horses.
These dismounted men, in detachments, were sent to their homes
under command of a commissioned officer, who was to get them
together at some convenient rendezvous and thence march them
overland to their respective commands.
In the late summer of 1863 Lieutenant "J. McLeod Turner" of the
Hussars was detailed for such duty, and discharging its require¬
ments reported back to his command on the evening of Nov. 6, near
Stevensburg, Va.
In fine spirits and exulting good humor he gave tidings of news
from home and in all earnestness rejoiced at his return to the
firing line. In conviction of immunity from hurtful missiles he con¬
fidently declared that "the bullet was not moulded that was to kill"
him."
The morning of Nov. 7 brought to the Jeff Davis Legion its turn
for picket duty along the Rappahannock. On parade of the Bat¬
talion, as an incident of the service, Lieutenant Turner was the only
commissioned officer present with the Second Squadron.
The column was barely en route when Lieutenant Turner rode to
the head and requested of the Commanding Officer that he might
be excused from duty that day. This request occasioned no little
surprise, as Lieutenant Turner was recognized as one always seek¬
ing contact with the enemy and participation in every conflict. It
was soon explained by the declaration that he had not yet been able
to prepare and submit to the Quartermaster an account as to the
expenditure of public monies which had been committed to him, and
that this duty discharged, he would report to the front. This was
an elegant illustration of his sense of duty, and his request was
complied with, although his services were sadly needed.
As the day advanced General Meade put the Federal Army in
motion and made a vigorous assault upon the Confederate Army
posted along the Rappahannock river. His advance at "Kelley's
Ford" was promptly opposed by Gen. P. M. B. Young (and other
Confederates) to whom Lieutenant Turner reported, with such men
of the Jeff Davis Legion as had remained in camp when the Bat-
497
talion set out for picket. Utilizing this squad as couriers General
Young attached Lieutenant Turner to his staff as a temporary A.
D. C.
The advance of the enemy was being gallantly and stubbornly
resisted by the Phillips Legion of Cavalry, dismounted.
Seeing an opportunity to utilize a mounted regiment to advantage,
General Young directed Lieutenant Turner to guide the Second
South Carolina Regiment (Colonel Lipscomb) to an indicated point.
This duty discharged, Lieutenant Turner voluntarily rode out and
joined the Phillips Legion, who were being steadily flanked and
compelled to give ground. Riding leisurely and composedly up and
down the line, uttering words of encouragement and good cheer he
was a conspicuous mark for the aim of the enemy not fifty yards
away, and yet further to give emphasis to his words, halting his
horse in face of the foe, he draws his pistol and deliberately
empties its every barrel. With the discharge of his fifth shot he is
struck in the forehead and falls dead from his horse, killed instantly.
His horse retiring, the body of Lieutenant Turner fell into the
hands and keeping of the enemy,' but not to spurning or indignity.
Some days after this affair the Battalion at the close of a day of
arduous work went into bivouac but a short distance away from
where Lieutenant Turner had been killed. The gleaming qf the little
fires that were soon kindled lit up the canopy of greeq boughs over¬
head, the weary soldiers were many of them in repose. The per¬
vading stillness was suddenly broken by a squeaky and nasal voice
of high pitch that begged to know "where he could find the Captain
of the Georgia Hussars."
To this inquiry the Officer Commanding responded: "Here!"
when there approached him a lad of apparently thirteen or fourteen
years of age, barefooted, jacketless and wearing a single gallus,
holding in hand a package neatly embodied and addressed to the
"Captain Commanding the Georgia Hussars," with the announce¬
ment: "I have a package for you." Packages of any sort were un-
looked for by the Hussars, and no hasty conjecture could account
from whom or whence could come the present proffer.
On breaking the package there was disclosed the effects found by
the foe upon the body of Lieutenant Turner which were ordered to
be transmitted through the lines as above by General H. E. Davies,
Commanding First Brigade, Third Division of Cavalry of Army of
the Potomac. Accompanying the order was the declaration that his
command had noticed the distinguished gallantry of Lieutenant Tur¬
ner, and that he had been buried with every respect and a sketch of
place of burial was enclosed to indicate the place of interment. Like¬
wise enclosed was the following letter of gracious condolence,
which being unaddressed, was by its terms evidently prepared for
some loving stricken heart.

"Copy/'
Headquarters First Brigade,
Stephensburg, Va., Nov. n, 1863.
Enclosed you will find all that was in the pockets* of the late Lieu¬
tenant McLeod Turner, who was killed on Sunday last. I saw him
just after he was shot, but in the hurry and confusion of the fight,
did not have time to secure his effects. After the fight was over I
sent up and had him buried, and his pockets searched in order to
return his effects to his friends if possible. There were only three
letters, which I took the liberty to read, in order to discover his
name and residence. In one of the letters, it mentioned him wear¬
ing a ring which was wished on. I have made inquiries about
it, and have come to the conclusion that some of your men must
have taken it off before they retreated. I have a buttonf that was
taken off his coat, which I will keep in my possession until you can
send for it, or let me know your address so that I can send it to
you. If you have any friends in New York city (my home) or near
it, I will send it to them. Lieutenant Turner was a brave officer,
and fell at the head of his men. Although I am upon the Union
side, and nothing but a Yankee, still I admire bravery even in an
enemy. I had him buried in a small clump of pines, south of Ste-
phensburgh. I have tried to give you an idea of the place where he
is buried on the little scrap of paper which you will find enclosed.
If I can ever be of any service to you whatsoever, provided it does
not compromise me in my duty to my country, you must call upon
me.
My address in New York city is 179 Water street.
Very respectfully,

am.
If we ever make a raid near where you live, I hope you will call
on me if you want anything.

The package with contents were carefully transmitted when occa¬
sion offered to the mother and sister of Lieutenant Turner. To the
latter (Mrs. Ellen Giles of Wilmington, N. C.), I am indebted for
the copy of Lieutenant Blunt's letter, for which I here happily make
acknowledgement, as it enabled me to present as authentic, a unique
story difficult to parallel.

incident, and altogether ingenuous and handsomely respondent.
APPENDIX E.
The Tribute to Colonel Samuel Fletcher Chalfin.
Appointed as a cadet from his native state of Illinois, Samuel
Fletcher Chalfin entered the United States Military Academy at
West Point on the ist of July, 1843; and he graduated with distinc¬
tion four years later, standing seventh in his class. He was com¬
missioned a Second Lieutenant in the First Artillery on the ist July,
1847, a°d shortly thereafter he received his "baptism of fire" in the
closing days of the Mexican War. A man of versatile talents, his
military career was a varied one, including campaigns against In¬
dians in Florida, a professorship of languages at West Point, and
much service during and immediately following the war between
the States; and when he resigned from the Army on the 20th Sept.,
1869, his rank was that of Colonel by Brevet, which he had attained
on the 13th March, 1865. Among his pupils at the Military Academy
was the late General Robert H. Anderson of Savannah (subse¬
quently a Captain of the Georgia Hussars), and a warm and lasting
friendship resulted from that relation.
Like most of the many West Pointers whom it has been my
privilege to know, Colonel Chalfin's choice of allegiance in the civil
strife was neither inspired nor followed by the slightest feeling of
animosity against any section. A Northerner by birth, education
and sentiment, it was natural that he should have supported the
North's contention when the irrepressible conflict took concrete
form in 1861; but, from his viewpoint, the war—which he always re¬
garded as a most regrettable necessity—ended as soon as the Con¬
federacy's armed forces surrendered, and thenceforth he strove earn¬
estly and consistently for the pacification of the entire country. Of
his strong convictions in this respect he gave substantial and prac¬
tical proof; and his service as Provost Marshal at Richmond, Va., in
the latter sixties deservedly fastened to him and to his memory the
sincerest approval and thanks of the best citizens of that model
American city.
The period of reconstruction is not an attractive one to describe
or to contemplate. No more discreditable chapter exists in the
country's history. A brave and sensitive people, after a four years'
record of heroism and sacrifice so sublime and unexampled that it
promptly aroused and still retains the boundless admiration of the
world, had been overwhelmed by immeasurably superior material
resources. When the gigantic struggle ended, there were, within
501
the vast area of the exhausted provinces, tew families which had
escaped bereavement on the many battlefields, or utter financial
ruin, or both The abolition of slavery, by the stroke of a pen, had
suddenly destroyed the entire labor system of the South, annihilated
a stupendous capital, and let loose agencies of disorder and unrest
which would have undone a less resolute community. A policy of
generous conciliation then—such as men like Colonel Chalfin ad¬
vocated—would have evidenced, on the victors' part, the possession
at once of humanity and sound statesmanship; but the exactly op¬
posite course was deliberately pursued. The familiar maxim, now so
frequently and hysterically reiterated in behalf of the irreclaimably
savage Filipinos, that all governments derive "their just powers
from the consent of the governed," had no efficacy then, although
the prostrate commonwealths included four out of the thirteen
colonies which, less than a century before, had manfully wrested
this great country from British misrule. The fundamental issue
upon which the Revolutionary War and the Civil War were fought
was really the same in each case—i. e., the right of self-government.
From the Declaration of Independence in 1776 until the secession
movement in 1861, the South, whether in field, in forum or else¬
where, had always contributed at least its full share to the estab¬
lishment, the maintenance and the development of the United
States; there had been no branch of the public service which South¬
erners had not illustrated and adorned, and in which Southern men
had not freely risked their lives, to insure the general safety. Not
only were all of these facts conveniently ignored at the period now
under review, but the dominant party exhibited the utmost in¬
genuity and malignity in aggravating the already deplorable condi¬
tion of the Southern States. In that desolate and desolated region,
many of the most intelligent and experienced citizens were disfran¬
chised, through the operation of the so-called "iron-clad" oath,
while the ballot was conferred, practically without qualification of
any sort, upon their late slaves—an electorate remarkable chiefly for
its almost indescribable incompetency. Military governors, many of
whom were corrupt, and most of whom were brutal, eagerly and
energetically exercised their little brief authority in the persecution
and oppression of a people whose sterling merits they were incapable
of appraising or appreciating. No words can make clear to the
younger generation the horrors of the reconstruction times; yet,
lamentable as the record is, it may be salutary to recall it, upon oc¬
casions like the present one.
Because Coionel Chalfin's administration as Provost Marshal at
Richmond had been so just, fair, firm, wise and efficient—and there¬
fore in such striking contrast with the conduct of most of his col¬
leagues in other Southern communities—that even to-day his name
is one to conjure with in the late capital of the Confederacy, it was
proposed, when he died in Savannah on the evening of the 1st Nov..
1891, that the regulation funeral honors be accorded him by the
502
Georgia Hussars. The suggestion meeting with the approval of
General W. W. Gordon (then Colonel of the First Regiment of
Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers), and of Colonel Beirne Gordon (at
that time Captain of the troop), it was adopted. From the Savan¬
nah Morning News of the 3rd Nov., 1891, the following is quoted:
"The Georgia Hussars' escort of the remains of Colonel Samuel
F. Chalfin from the Savannah Hospital to the New York train last
night was more than a graceful act of courtesy on the part of Cap¬
tain Beirne Gordon. It proved indisputably, and more eloquently
than words could do, that among the men who did the fighting dur¬
ing the civil struggle fraternal accord prevails, and that the efforts
to keep up sectional strife are confined to those who were 'invis¬
ible in war, and are invincible in peace.' Colonel Chalfin's conduct
as Provost Marshal at the Confederate capital during the trying
days of reconstruction showed him to be humane, liberal and con¬
servative, and gained for him the respect, esteem and gratitude of
the people of Richmond. And it was peculiarly appropriate that one
who had taught the art of war to the gifted and lamented Anderson
should be honored by a troop of which the latter had once been
Captain. The spectacle of so distinguished a Union veteran as
General W. W. Burns, U. S. A. (retired)—the inventor of the Sibley
tent, and the real author of 'Hardee's Tactics'—marching as a pall¬
bearer shoulder to shoulder with four troopers of a command which
achieved deathless fame under the brilliant Stuart, conclusively
demonstrated that the war is over.
"The Hussars were mounted and fully equipped for the escort.
At the Hospital the pall-bearers were detailed: Ex-Captains W. W.
Gordon and G. B. Pritchard, and Corporals W. I. O'Brien and Geo.
P. Screven of the Hussars, and General W. W. Burns and Dr. I. F.
Cowan, of New York, personal friends of Colonel Chalfin. * * *
At the depot the Hussars were drawn up in line, and paid the usual
military honors as the remains passed and were deposited on the
train."
During Colonel Chalfin's later years, he frequently expressed
great regret that having resigned from the Army, he could not ex¬
pect the military funeral which his professional training invested
with much importance. It seems to be one of the strangest ironies
of fate that this magnanimous warrior, whose broad and enlight¬
ened manhood had been displayed when, perhaps, it was most
needed and most welcome, should have received, at the hands of a
once hostile troop, the coveted final soldierly tribute which would
have been denied him had he died in the section for which he
fought. And who can question that, in honoring a former foeman
so "worthy of their steel," the Georgia Hussars substantially and
permanently honored themselves?

My Dear Sir:
Your letter coveying the gratifying information that the Georgia

has been received. This mark of regard on the part of your com¬
pany is highly appreciated, for it comes from men who won for the
Georgia Hussars a proud and enviable reputation during the war.
I esteem the compliment the more highly because it" comes from
my old comrades, and I beg you to present my best wishes to my
old and gallant friends.
With my kind regards to them all,

Mr. Frank Winter, First Sergeant and Secretary G. H.
Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of the 18th ultimo informing me
that I had been elected an honorary member of your Troop, is at
hand. Please convey to the Troop my grateful appreciation of the
honor thus conferred upon me. I can assure you that it affords me
no little gratification to know that my name is associated with that
of a command whose history is known to the whole Army with
which it served amidst the stirring scenes of the late war.
The members of your organization can with pardonable pride,
point to its magnificent record, during the late struggle, and its no
less distinguished bearing during more recent years. It will always
be a sufficient guaranty of a man's valor in war and his fidelity in
peace for him to be able to say, "I was and am a member of the
Georgia Hussars."
It is my fervent hope that your organization may be perpetuated
many, many years, so that should the "call" of duty ever again sum¬
mon you to the battle's front, you may as a solid phalanx be ready
for the summons, prepared to rival (for you will never surpass it)
the splendid record of the "Georgia Hussars" who fought for the
independence of the Southern Confederacy.
With sentiments of the highest esteem for your command, and
with the most delightful recollections of my companionship with
many of your members in days gone by, I am,
Yours very respectfully,

My Dear Sir:
During my absence your letter was received; making the highly
flattering announcement of my election as an Honorary Member of
the "Georgia Hussars."
Allow me to assure the gentlemen who compose the company that
it is very gratifying to receive such an evidence that I am remem¬
bered by the brave and true, with whom in years gone by it was
my duty to share the trials and hardships incident to the campaign,
the triumphs of success, and the pain and mortification of sometimes
being compelled to retreat before the overwhelming forces with
which it was our lot to contend.
In all the changes and chances of our career, whether in the tri¬
umph of victory or the vicissitudes of reverse, it was my proudest
satisfaction that the Soldiers and Officers it was my good fortune to
command always showed themselves to be brave and chivalrous, and
none more so than the company who now has seen fit to honor me
with their remembrance and esteem.
It is especially pleasing that this token should come from the
sons of my native state, for my earliest teachings were to reverence
and love the name of Georgia.
Again asking you to extend my thanks to the members of the
Georgia Hussars for the compliment they have bestowed upon a
fellow soldier, believe me, with great respect, your friend,

As to Sea Girt Matches and Match at "Wormsloe."
1894.
Extract of Report of C. B. Satterlee, First Lieutenant, Third Artillery, U.
S. A., Acting Inspector General of Rifle Practice, Georgia
Volunteers, to Adjutant General of Georgia.
RIFLE COMPETITION AT SEA GIRT, NEW JERSEY.
During the early part of the year I learned of the rifle competi¬
tions held annually at Sea Girt, New Jersey, under the auspices of
the New Jersey State Rifle Association, in which representative
teams from the several States of the Union, and other countries are
permitted to participate. In the hope of stimulating target practice
in this State, and giving at least a few officers and men a wider ex¬
perience and a broader insight into the subject, I requested First
Sergeant John C. Postell, Troop A, First Regiment Cavalry (Geor¬
gia Hussars), Savannah, an expert shot and a man deeply interested
in marksmanship, to take the matter in hand and, if possible, work
up a team from Georgia for the competition to take place at Sea
Girt, between September 3rd and 8th, 1894. He consented to assume
the charge, and in due time reported sufficient progress and interest
to warrant further and more definite action by this department.
Instructions were thereupon issued, with the approval of the Ad¬
jutant-General's Department, to the several Company Commanders
to practice their best shots during the month of July and to report
their scores duly attested to First Sergeant John C. Postell, Troop
A, First Regiment of Cavalry, who is hereby designated as Secre¬
tary for the Team.
Sergeant Postell, of the Georgia Hussars, was subsequently desig¬
nated as "Captain" of the Georgia Team. Several other States and
the District of Columbia were represented by Teams from their Na¬
tional Guard. The work of the Georgia Team and its achievements
are fully set forth in the report of Sergeant Postell, which I beg to
insert for publication. It is replete with interesting information, and
will give encouragement for representation in future. It is a story of
most commendable endeavor and self-sacrifice to uphold the dignity
and reputation of the State and her volunteer force; it speaks
volumes for the soldierly spirit and pride of these twelve represen¬
tees, who, at their own expense and without expectation of reward
from the State, undauntedly devoted days and weeks to preparation
511
for a contest in which, from the start, they well knew they would be
handicapped by lack of experience and practice; a contest in which
they would meet with the best shots of the country; and while they
returned with but few prizes and medals, they acquitted themselves
with great credit and reflected honor on the State. Each officer and
man of the team is richly entitled to the thanks of the State. Special
commendation and thanks are due First Sergeant Postell, through
whose interest and zealous efforts, mainly, was a Team organized.
Relative to the participation of the Georgia Team at Sea Girt, I
beg to submit the accompanying letter from the Inspector of Rifle
Practice of New Jersey, who speaks in flattering terms of the work
and soldierly bearing of these representatives.
Accompanying this report is a tabulated statement showing the
individual firing records of each member of the Georgia Team; also
a comparison of their aggregate scores with those of other Teams;
to these figures I invite attention.
In consideration of these facts and in recognition of the self-sac¬
rificing and meritorious work of the members of the Georgia Team
I earnestly recommend that they be officially classified as sharp¬
shooters, and that special certificates and the usual badges be
awarded.
They may form a special class and be so designated without
detracting from the standard of excellence established as necessary
for qualification as such. Their records alone fully entitled them to
be so classed; their endeavor and zeal to make a reputation for and
creditably hold up the name of the State in friendly competition with
representatives from other States surely merits this small consid¬
eration. It is thought that Georgia is the first Southern State to be
represented in competitions of such character and significance. A
just recognition will serve as an encouragement, not alone to them
but to others, and will do much towards building up and fostering
the system of target firing in Georgia; it will be an earnest of the
State's interest in the practical training of her soldiers.
Very Respectfully,

Lieutenant C. B. Satterlee,

Dear Sir:
The participation of a Team from the Georgia Volunteers at this
year's meet was a source of much gratification to the New Jersey
512
State Rifle Association, and their brilliant records, considering the
circumstances, reflect great credit to the State, while much credit
also is due to each and every member of the Team who left their
respective businesses under great personal sacrifice, financially and
otherwise, came this distance and faced the butts against the finest
shots in the world.
The distinction of earning a position on a State Team has due
consideration in most of the States, very many presenting each
member with distinguished marksman badges, and allowing scores
in Team matches to apply on record for sharpshooter medals, etc.
I trust the custom of your State will allow you to give due con¬
sideration to the gallant efforts of the gentlemen from Georgia,
who, I understand, were not even given a chance to qualify this year.
We earnestly hope the State will offer such assistance and en¬
couragement as to enable a Team to. be again present next year.
Permit me also to commend the gentlemanly bearing, of the Georgia
Team, and call your attention to the fine individual records made by
Sergeant Postell and Messrs. Richmond and Wilson.
There is every reason to believe, from the records made this year,
that Georgia will not be far behind, if at all, in future contests for
the Hilton Trophy and Interstate matches.
Yours very truly,

Extract from Report of First Sergt. John C. Postell to Lieut. C. B. Satter-
lee, Inspector General of Rifle Practice, Georgia
Volunteers, Atlanta, Ga.
"Wednesday, September 5th, was held the Regimental Team
Match of six, in which I entered from Troop A, First Regiment,
Cavalry, First Sergeant J. C. Postell, Sergeant A. S. Eichberg, Pri¬
vates Thomas Hunter, C. S. Richmond, J. T. Shuptrine and F. C.
Wilson, who shot very well at the known distances, coming out a
good THIRD out of fourteen Teams competing. The conditions of
this match were, ten shots each per man, at 200 and 500 yards the
first day, and on Thursday, the 6th, two skirmish runs of twenty
shots each per man at the B target, tern halts, five advancing and five
retreating, one shot at each halt, until ammunition is exhausted, thirty
seconds firing time allowed from last note of 'commence' to last
note of 'cease firing.' The catch in this was rapid firing at the near
halts, expending all your ammunition, and thereby having none to
fire at the long halts. All this was entirely new to the Georgia
Team, none of them ever having experienced it before. Hence,
while they made a good showing at the known distances, they
dropped to fifth place at the completion of the skirmish. On the
whole, I consider that they made a very creditable showing under
the circumstances, and feel confident that, with present lights, they
could safely be expected to show marked improvement at this kind
of work should the opportunity again offer. Full scores of both
stages of this match are hereto attached:

GEORGIA HUSSARS COMPANY TEAM AT SEA GIRT, NEW JERSEY, SEPT. 5. 1894-
519
The balance of the week was devoted to individual matches, in
which five of the Team participated, and I am glad to state, made
creditable showing in everything they entered. Private F. C. Wil¬
son, of Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, won first prize (a hand¬
some gold medal) in Trenton Interstate, and third prize in Allcom¬
ers' Military Matches; Private C. S. Richmond won first in Re¬
volver and fifth Scheutzen Matches; First Sergeant J. C. Postell
won the third in Hayes and fourth in Wimbledon Cup Matches;
Sergeant Henry Blun, Jr., of Company D, First Battalion, Infantry,
won second prize in Trenton Interstate Match, and Sergeant A. S.
Eichberg, of Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, using the Cavalry
45-calibre Colt's, came out eighth in Revolver Match.
"The week was fittingly closed by the Wimbledon Cup Match,
1,000 yards, which was begun early Saturday, September 8th. Two
men from Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, entered this match,
First Sergeant J. C. Postell and Private F. C. Wilson, who did fairly
well considering that they had never before faced a 1,000-yard butt.
"Taking all in all, I feel that the State of Georgia is to be con¬
gratulated, in having a representation at the Sea Girt Matches for
1894, and believe firmly that every member of the Team present was
greatly benefitted by the increased knowledge obtaind in the use of
the rifle, and last but not least, the Georgia Volunteers were brought
into marked prominence throughout the country. Napoleon, I
believe, once said: 'Shooting to hit is the objective point of military
art,' and no truer words were ever spoken..
"Finally, I beg to state that too much credit cannot be accorded
by the State to every member of the Team, who at great personal
sacrifice left their respective pursuits, and at their own expense went
to Sea Girt for simply patriotism to their State and honor to its sol¬
diery, and I trust the State will appreciate the fact sufficiently to
now give its unqualified support towards sending a crack Team to
represent her next year, when she may reasonably hope to reverse
the order of this one."

turn match of the Regimental Teams of Georgia and New Jersey,
be held in Savannah, Ga., Feb. 22nd, 1895 (Washington's Birthday).
This the Jerseymen readily accepted in due course. A representative
party of Jerseymen reached this city about the 20th of February,

This distinguished party, together with their wives and lady

Colonel W. W. Gordon, Captain Geo. T. Cann, Sergeant John C.
Posted, Sergeant A. S. Eichberg, Privates Wilson, Hunter, Rich¬
mond, Shuptrine and others, and escorted to the De Soto, where
quarters had been engaged.
The ladies were taken in charge by a committee of wives and
friends of the Savannah Team and made to pass their three days'
stay in our midst pleasantly by rides to Bonaventure, the Hermitage,
through the city, and a lunch at Mrs. Bannon's, at Thunderbolt.
The members of the Team and their friends were taken out to the
Wheelman's Park, where they were afforded an informal practice on
a range at 200 and 500 yards.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Wymberly J. DeRenne, an Honor¬
ary Member of the Georgia Hussars, a cordial invitation was ex¬
tended to hold the match on the 22nd of February, at his historic
country residence, "Wormsloe," about ten miles from the city,
where a temporary range had been erected. The two Teams and
guests were escorted to "Wormsloe" by the Georgia Hussars
mounted and in full dress uniform. After certain social ceremonies
and other preliminaries, the Match was shot and gloriously won by
the Georgia Hussars Team, scores of which are submitted here¬

General John Mcintosh Kell, Adjutant-General State of Georgia,
Atlanta, Ga.:
General:
It gives me great pleasure to forward to you to-day the trophy
won by your Team this year at Sea Girt, in the Interstate Military
Match, shot under the auspices of the National Rifle Association of
America. The trophy, "Soldier of Marathon," has been contested
for annually during the past twenty years, and has been won and
held mainly by States which have given a large amount of time and
labor to the education of a State Team. For the first time in the
history of rifle practice the trophy goes to the SOUTH, and your
Team of gallant Georgians, who made the effort in 1894, led all
competitors in the match this year by a score which has been sel¬
dom equalled in these competitions. The best riflemen of the States
of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and the
District of Columbia, were their opponents, and it is particularly
gratifying for me to be able to say to you that the Team from the
State of Georgia excelled the Teams from all these States in this
competition. New Jersey welcomes her Southern friends to the
competitions held on the Sea Girt range, and congratulates them
upon their victory.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM S. STRYKER,
Adjutant-General.
State of Georgia,
Adjutant General's Office,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12, 1895.
General Orders No. 15:
The following result of the work of the Rifle Team from this
State in the competition held at Sea Girt, New Jersey, in September,
is hereby announced to the Georgia Volunteers.
In this contest, brought into competition with the best riflemen of
the country, the Team won the Interstate Match—was second, and
within a few points of winning the Regimental Match, was fifth in
the Hilton Trophy Match, and in the individual contests its mem¬
bers won five of the seven matches in which they competed.
These results show a degree of skill and efficiency obtained only
by close, intelligent work, and at a sacrifice of much time and per¬
sonal comfort: that it was a voluntary act on the part of the mem¬
bers of the Team, and without aid from the State, is all the more
to their credit. The Governor desires to express to Captain Wm.
W. Williamson, First Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, Cap¬
tain of the Team, and to its individual members, his gratification at
their success, and believes it will prove a stimulus to increased in¬
terest in rifle firing throughout the State.

Hussars third in this match.
Extract from Adjutant General's Report of 1896.
The riflemen of Georgia entered eighteen matches. Of this num¬
ber they won thirteen; tied in two, which were lost by smaller score
at longest distance; and lost three.
The matches won by them were on good margins; those lost, on
very small ones.
534
These matches are held annually, at Sea Girt, under the direction
of the New Jersey Rifle Association, whose president is, by law,
the Governor of the State. The most expert rifle shots in the
country meet here in friendly rivalry, and to win in such contests
requires, as a preparation, hard, systematic, intelligent work, and a
high degree of skill. There are no State funds available for defray¬
ing the expenses of the team; so, in addition to the time lost and
hard work done, the entire cost falls on its individual members.
The Governor congratulates Captain Williamson, Team Captain,
and the members of the team on the remarkable scores made and
the honors they have won for the State and themselves. They will
be classified as sharpshooters, and special certificates and sharp¬
shooters' badges will be issued to them by the Inspector-General of
Rifle Practice.
The creditable work of the team from the Governor's Horse
Guards, that, with little time for preparation, went to Sea Girt, as a
first experience this year, is deserving of mention, and the knowledge
thus gained of team shooting will be of great benefit to its members
in future contests.

ing the fact that there was a dull sky, with changing light and a stiff
cross-wind, the score made by Georgia was remarkable.

Hilton Trophy Match.
Seven Shots at Each Range.
This match was shot on Friday, the 3rd of September, in a very
heavy wind, which prevented any good scores at 200 yards. This
match is considered the most important of the meet, and after try-
538
ing for four years, Georgia was rewarded for her perseverance by
winning it. It will be recalled that last year Georgia tied Washing¬
ton in this match, and lost only through a smaller score at the long¬
est range. This year the fight was with New York, and it was any¬
body's match after 500-yard stage was completed, Georgia only
leading by three points.

Extract from Capt. W. W. Williamson, Team Captain's Report.
"A recapitulation of which is that in five team and twelve indi¬
vidual matches in which our men participated, they won the five
Team Matches, eleven of the twelve Individual Matches, and came
in second in the other, viz.: The Championship Revolver Match.
In this match Lieutenant Richmond, although with a heavy handicap
against him, came in second.*
"In conclusion, I cannot speak too highly of the magnificent work
done by the members of the Georgia Team. Its record simply can¬
not be beaten, and I doubt very much if it will ever be equalled.
(Signed) "W. W. WILLIAMSON,
"Team Captain."
*Capt. Jno. 0. Postell also came in second in Department of Rifle Practice Match, losing
by three points and with a score which was superior to any previous record by seven points.

yards, being more than Georgia's. This is the second time Georgia
has lost to Washington on a tie, the other occasion being in 1896,
when Washington got the Hilton Trophy.
