. .
The undersigned respectfully
show unto your Honor, that Lee
Jackson Camp of Confederate
Veterans, has had prepared under
its supervision, Muster Rolls OF
all of the companies and parts OF
companies of Artillery, Cavalry
and Infantry, organized or enlisted
in the County of RocKbridge, for
the defense of Virginia, serving in
the ARMIES of the Confederate
States of America, in the war
between the States of 1868, to-
gether with misc ellaneous list OF
soldiers and marines from the
county who served in companies
from other counties of the State
and other States.
That the camp has appointed
your petitioners a committee, to
do all things necessary, to have
the Rolls recorded in the Clerk s
Office of your Court, under an
Act of the General Assembly of
Virginia, entitled Gan Act having
for its object the collection,
preservation and perpetuation OF
the names of the soldiers of Vir-
ginia who fought in her defense
in the war between the States -
approved February 9th. 1893.
That much care, labor and time
have been given to the prepare
ton of these rolls the time ex-
tending over period of nearly
six years. The Camp found it
impracticable to give full roster
of the Senior Reserves, they being
well advanced in years when in
service, most all of whom have pass
ed away. The miscellaneous list
probably does not embrace the
names of all men from the county,
who enlisted in companies from
other counties and States, but is
substantially correct. Casualties
in some companies may not all
have been reported.
Your petitioners herewith pres
ent the Rolls of the companies
and miscellaneous list and give
the names of the companies, as
follows:
ARTILLERY.
|. Rockbridge. Artillery.
3. Second Rockbridge Artillery.
CAVALRY.
8. Company c. 1st Va. Cavalry
4. Company H. 18th Va. Cavalry.

10. Company X 18th Va. Infantry.

10 Company f SIND Va. Infantry.
ii. Company G 5Sth va. Infantry.
IS. Junior Reserves Boy Company
with list of Senior Reserves
appended.
is. Miscellaneous List.
Your petitioners therefore ask
that such action and proceedings
be taken on the rolls, as said Act
of Assembly requires and to your
Honor may seem right and proper,
and that the Rolls be recorded in
the Clerk Office Of your Court.
And your petitioners will ever
pray, &c.
