The Brunswick Blues. [from the Richmond, Va., Dispatch, April 12th, 1900.] Weldon, N. C., April 11, 1900. I notice in a recent Dispatch notice of the death of Mr. Robert A. Goodwyn, at his home in Petersburg, a former citizen of Brunswick county, Va., who was a member of the Brunswick Blues. There was a slight error in the report, however, which I am sure Mr. Goodwyn would wish to have corrected, were he alive. In order to do this I will give you a history of that famous company, as I am a native of Brunswick county, Va., and witnessed the departure of the company to war June 3, 1861. The company was organized at Edmond's Store, Va., by Mr. Joseph Jones, who was elected captain. Dr. Thomas Wynn was elected first-lieutenant, and John Maddox second-lieutenant. The company was composed of the best young men of the county, and on the day for their departure a great crowd assembled at Trotter's Store, hundreds of ladies being present. A lovely flag was presented the c
