Sorry, Richard, it’s not my roster or my area of expertise.

There were several Huntons that rode with the BH but Logan Hunton , whose war records indicate that he was transferred to the BH and then wounded in May of ’62 was not included in your roster. Can you shed any light on this.
Much appreciated……….RO

Dennis,

That image is from Harper’s Weekly. I believe it is in the public domain, but am not 100% sure.

Dear Harry Smeltzer,

I am writing a book, highlighting my great great grandfather’s (Hiram (H.) Seymour Hall) exploits as a member of Co. G, 27th Regiment NY Volunteers. I would like to include the image “Black Horse Cavalry” that is above this article.

Can I have permission to use this image, or where can I find that image to use that is not too costly.

Thanks for your time. Please advise.

Sincerely,

Dennis P. Bielewicz

When you say you can't find his name on "the roster", to what roster are you referring? The Black Horse Troop was eventually a company in the 4th VA Cavalry. On this roster, there is a listing in the Black Horse Troop for Aclpfar Arell Marsteller. Beginning at the bottom of page 425 you'll find his biographical sketch.

Hello Mr. Smeltzer, I recently came across a letter referring an ancestor of mine as being attached to JEB Stuart’s Black Horse Troop. He was cited for capture of 2 NY Calvary officers. He was also at the skirmish at Marsteller’s Place May 14th, 1863. This involved the NY 5th regiment cavalry and Michigan 6th Regiment Cavalry. His name was A.A. Marsteller. I am unable to locate his name on the Roster. There were several of his brothers who rode with Conferate Calvary. If you could give me any hints that may assist me , I would be most grateful. I grew up near Manassas Va. My ancestor’s Farm was near the Nokesville area. thank you, Asa

Mike,

That article was written by the above mentioned Major Scott. I wasn’t able to find any mention of the origin of the unit’s name in it.

Harry,

IIRC, there is an article in the Annals of the War, which was written by a member of the Black Horse Cavalry. I don’t have the book but perused the index a short time back. Maybe that’ll help.
