Below is the muster-roll of the Goochland Light Artillery, mustered in the Confederate Army May 6, 1861.
Made from memory by
R. N. Allen, one of the first names to be enrolled, and who was with the company from the beginning to the end. The names not marked with an asterisk were on the original roll—108 rank and file.
The names with an asterisk are those of recruits after the company returned from
Camp Douglas, where they were sent as prisoners of war after the fall of
Fort Donelson, February 16, 1862.
About eighty of the company were surrendered at
Donelson:
John H. Guy,
Captain.
Jonathan Talley,
First Lieutenant.
John Brown Budwell,
Second Lieutenant.
J. H. Guerrant,
Third Lieutenant.
Isaac Curd, First

Note.—This ‘old roll’ has been requested by numbers of members of the company, and it is made from memory; consequently, if there is an omission of any name, I hope some one will correct the mistakes and furnish the omitted names.
