ROCKBRIDGE 2ND DRAGOONS – COMPANY "H" 14TH VA CAVALRY

This Company was organized in the lover end of Rockbridge, principally in the vicinity of Brownsburg, previous to the war, and was mustered into service April 21, 1861. The officers at that time were John R. McNutt, Captain; Robert McChesney, 1st Lieutenant; John A. Gibson, 2nd Lieutenant; Dr. Z.J. Walker, 3rd Lieutenant. They were ordered to West Virginia (then Virginia), where Lieutenant McChesney was killed, probably the first Virginian killed on Virginia soil. His tragic death occurred near St. George, Tucker County. Lieutenants Gibson and Walker were promoted to 1st and 2nd Lieutenants by the vacancy, and John Y. Anderson was made 3rd Lieutenant.

At the reorganization in 1862, after the first year's service, John A. Gibson was made Captain; James A. Strain 1st Lieutenant; James Archibald Lyle, 2nd Lieutenant, and James Lindsay 3rd Lieutenant. The Company was then doing service in Major William L. Jackson's battalion, composed of the following companies: Churhville Cavalry from Augusta County, Charlotte Cavalry from Charlotte County, and Rockbridge 2nd Dragoons from Rockbridge County.

The 14th Virginia Cavalry was organized in January 1863 at Salem, Virginia, and these three Companies were assigned to it, the Dragoons becoming Company "H". Captain John A. Gibson was made Lieutenant Colonel and promotions were made in the Dragoons as follows: James A. Strain, Captain; James Lindsay 1st Lieutenant; William M. Sterrett, 2nd Lieutenant; Z.J. Culton, 3rd Lieutenant, who died in Salem while the regiment was in winter quarters near that town, the winter of 1862-63. A.B. Mackey was elected to fill Lieutenant Culton's place. Lieutenant Mackey was killed near Moorefield, Hardy County, on the retreat from the burning of Chambersburg in 1864. William N. Wilson was elected to supply the vacancy caused by Lieutenant Mackey's death. At the surrender the Company was officered as follows: Captian, James A. Strain; 1st Lieutenant, James Lindsay; 2nd Lieutenant, William M. Sterrett; 3rd Lieutenant, William N. Wilson.

This company holds undisputed, the unique position of having had probably the first and the last Virginian killed on Virginia soil. Lieutenant Robert McChesney was the first, being bush-whacked in West Virginia, and James Wilson and Samuel A. Walker were killed at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865. In the last charge where the last two named members of Company "H" were killed, the federal line was broken and a part of a battery of Federal Artillery captured.

The 14th Virginia Regiment was in Jenkins', afterwards McCausland's brigade, and did service in West Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley and around Richmond. It was composed of three companies from Greenbrier, one from Augusta, one from Charlotte, one from Upshur, one from Rockbridge, and a large portion of two others were from this County (Captain Wm. A. Lackey's and Alexander M. Peck's), the remainder of these two companies being from Roanoke, Pulaski, Montgomery, and Highland Counties. It was among the best mounted regiments in the service and the discipline and their soldierly bearing was noticeable. James Cochran of Augusta County, was

Colonel; John A. Gibson of Rockbridge, Lieutenant Colonel; B.F. Eakle of the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, Major, and Edward S. Roe of Orange C.H., Surgeon. It was one of the four regiments that raided Pennsylvania to enforce the order of levying a tax of several hundred thousand dollars on the cities and towns of that State as compensation for the burning of the mills and barns in the Shenandoah Valley by Sheridan in 1863. They burned Chambersburg because the council of that city refused to pay the levy of $100, 000.00. The regiment surrendered at Appomattox in 1865.

It is said that the first United States soldier killed on Pennsylvania soil, during the was of 1861-5, was killed by the 14th Virginia Cavalry, near the town of Greencastle, just before the battle of Gettysburg, and that a monument soon thereafter erected, marks the spot.
