4th Virgina Cavalry

Black Horse Troop


My great-grandfather, Lt. William Lewis Ficklin, was in the 4th Virginia Cavalry, Black Horse Troop. His brother, John, who served in the same regiment, was killed at the Battle of Travillian Station near Richmond. I have a photograph, taken in 1890 in W. H. Payne's yard in Warrenton, VA, of the survivors of the Black Horse Company. General W. H. Payne was Commander at the 1st Battle of Bull Run, and was succeeded by Alex Payne. I have done brief research at the Fauquier Co. library in Warrenton, and would think there might exist a roster of the complete Black Horse Troop there. Meanwhile, I hope this will help.
