The Mathews Light Artillery was organized during July 1861. A
total of 72 men enlisted in the unit on July 18 or 20, 1861. The balance
of the year was spent in organization and training. Available records
indicate that the Mathews Light Artillery began as Company H, 61st
Virginia Militia, and continued under that designation until that unit was
disbanded on May 14, 1862.
Little detail is known of the organization and training of the Mathews
Light Artillery. Its organization, however, was unusually stable. Its
officers served together, without promotions or transfers, for the entire
war.
