Chief Surgeon--Dr. F. Salmond.
Chaplains--Revs. McGruder and Smith.
I give below a list of the Captains, as well as the field officers,
of the Second Regiment during the war. There were many changes from
Lieutenants to Captains, and subsequent elections from the ranks to
Lieutenants, caused by the casualties of war, but space forbids,
and want of the facts prevents me from giving more than the company
commanders and the field officers.
Colonels--J.B. Kershaw, E.P. Jones, Jno. D. Kennedy, and Wm. Wallace.
Lieutenant Colonels--E.P. Jones, A.D. Goodwin, F. Gaillard, Wm.
Wallace, and J.D. Graham.
Majors--A.D. Goodwin, W.H. Casson, F. Gaillard, Wm. Wallace, I.D.
Graham, B.F. Clyburn, G.L. Leaphart.
Adjutants--A.D. Goodwin, E.E. Sill, and A. McNeil.
Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons--J.A. Maxwell and J.H. Nott.
Some of them went from Captains and Majors through all the grades to
Colonel. The following are the Captains, some elected at the first
organization, some at the reorganization, and others rose by promotion
from Lieutenant:
Company A--W.H. Casson, M.A. Shelton, G.L. Leaphart, M.M. Maddrey.
Company B--A.D. Hoke, Wm. Pulliam, W. Powell, J. Caigle.
Company C--Wm. Wallace, S. Lorick, J.T. Scott, A.P. Winson.
Company D--J.S. Richardson, J.D. Graham, W. Wilder.
Company E--John D. Kennedy, elected Colonel, Z. Leitner, J.
Crackeford.
Company F--W.W. Ferryman, W.C. China, G. McDowell.
Company G--J. Hail, J. Friesdale, J.P. Cunningham.
Company H--H. McManus, D. Clyburn.
Company I--G.B. Cuthbreath, Ralph Elliott, R. Fishburn, B.F. Barlow.
Company K--R. Rhett, J. Moorer, K.D. Webb, J.D. Dutart,--Burton, G.T.
Haltiwanger.
Many changes took place by death and resignation. Scarcely any of the
field officers remained in the end. Many Captains of a low rank went
all the way to Colonels of regiments, and Third Lieutenants rose by
promotion to Captains. This shows the terrible mortality among the
officers. None of the first field officers but what had been killed or
incapacitated for service by wounds at the close of the war.
