were assigned to fill its ranks, so the 4th Virginia reached maybe 200 men. At the Battle of Spotsylvania it was trapped at the Bloody Angle and lost 7 killed, 6 wounded and 126 captured, which led the Stonewall Brigade to cease as an independent unit. Now-General William Terry commanded a heterogenous brigade that never actually reached the size of a full regiment. The regimental chaplain, William McNeer resigned. Terry's brigade was sent to join the Second Corps under Gen. Early in the Shenandoah Valley, and even threatened Washington D.C., but were hopelessly outnumbered as they retreated, and lost the Third Battle of Winchester, with the 4th Virginia suffering 3 wounded and 8 captured, another two men at the Battle of Fisher's Hill, and another man killed, 5 wounded and 4 captured at the Battle of Cedar Creek. Terry's Brigade was assigned to join Robert E. Lee's besieged army at Petersburg and also saw action around Appomattox in the war's final days as Lee frantically sought to resupply his army. A total of 1,487 men served in the regiment, and the only staff officer at the surrender at Appomattox was assistant Surgeon John A. Field. Captain Wade had recovered and was the senior field officer at the time, with five lieutenants and 38 men (of whom only 17 were armed). John P. Moore of the Liberty Hall Volunteers became the unit's last battle fatality, during the final attempt to break out from the encircling Federal forces on Palm Sunday, April 9, 1865 shortly before General Lee decided to surrender. Its field officers were Colonels James F. Preston, Charles A. Ronald, and William Terry; Lieutenant Colonels Robert D. Gardner and Lewis T. Moore; and Majors Matthew D. Bennett, Joseph F. Kent, and Albert G. Pendleton. When Jackson set up his headquarters in Winchester in June 1861, the commander of the 31st Virginia militia (which would become the 4th Virginia), Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Tilghman Moore invited him to use his house. His great-granddaughter, the actress Mary Tyler Moore contributed significantly to its restoration as the Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters Museum See also List of Virginia Civil War units References Units and formations of the Confederate States Army from Virginia Stonewall Brigade 1861 establishments in Virginia Military units and formations established in 1861 1865 disestablishments in Virginia Military units and formations disestablished in 1865
