my great great grand dad was john benjamin richardson
John B.Richardson of the Washington Artillery? Cool. Do you have any info you’d like to share about his experience at Bull Run (or otherwise, for that matter)? I know he was not in charge of a battery there,but I’m guessing he was present.
all i know is he was on a ahorse that got killed and was made captain of the 2nd battery in may of 1862
he had two 2.75 in rifled wentworth s at burnside brige and slowed the yanks advace
at gettysburg his wentworths guns told pickett to start the ill feated chacge and he was in 21 battles from 1861 till 1865
