After the departure of the Black horse, by general order the Albemarle troop of cavalry and later the Rappahannock cavalry, commanded by that excellent officer, John Shack Green, reported to Captain Lay to whom the command was assigned. This, however, was temporary; but a permanent squadron, consisting of the Powhatan troop, the Little fork rangers, of Culpeper county, Captain Utterback commmanding, and a Fauquier troop, commanded by Captain Adams, was formed, to be attached and report directly to headquarters, and Captain Lay was assigned to the command. This squadron, as such, passed through the battles of Bull Run on the 18th and of Manassas on the 21st--on the field during the whole of each day — and received handsome official notice from Generals Johnston and Beauregard for efficient services rendered.
