Irvin first lieutenant, Job N. Cookus second lieutenant, and Daniel T. Kellar third lieutenant; and the other the Hampshire Guards, John B. Sherrard captain, D. W.

"In entraining at Piedmont Station the regiment became divided, ony half of it reaching Manassas with the rest of the brigade in time to assist in the battle."

"Sometime in the wet darkness of July 19-20, Hill and his soldiers arrived at Piedmont. Everything was bustle and confusion at the station as eager troops waited to board the one train running shuttlelike between Piedmont and Manassas.
