 312 Southern Historical Society Papers.

[From the Richmond. Vu., 7V'me*, January 29, 1809.]

ONE OF COL. JOHN S. MOSBY'S COMPANIES.

The following roster of Company F, Mosby's battalion, contains the name of those who composed the company in the fall of 1864 and up to the time of the surrender at Appomattox. It is taken from the roll-book of the company, which was kept by Sergeant Jesse P. Gore, brother of Officer Charles A. Gore, of this city. Ser- geant Gore died about two years ago, and the book became the property of Officer Gore, who prizes it as a souvenir of the war.

The roll contains the names of quite a number of residents of this section, though many have passed away.
