Major John Brantin(?), by General R.S. Ewell, then
in Command of Richmond & its vicinity, and remained
on this duty until the end of the War.  While
on this service, he was requested by the James City
Artillery to become their 1st Lieutenant. that position
was being filled at the time, & an appreciation was
forwarded & recommended by Gen. Ewell, to the War Department
