Click here to see a scanned copy of the papers. His birthday is Sept 1, 1847 so he was only 17 when he mustered out, meaning that he enlisted in at 16. I have a copy of the original. Jo (granddaughter to JHH) has "Granddaddy's" Original Civil War Discharge paper. She told me in a letter that it is very yellowed, torn, and aged. She keeps it in a safety deposit box and took time to get it out, copy it and send it to me. I appreciate this very much! ;) Thanks Jo!

Regimental History of Thirteenth Light Battery aka 13" or 13th Batty Indp Indiana Light Artillery (from Indianapolis) INDIANA was in commission for 3 years.

Thirteenth Light Battery. -- Capts., Sewell Coulson, Benjamin S. Nicklin

This battery was organized at Indianapolis in the winter of 1861-62. It was mustered in Feb. 22, 1862, proceeding at once to Louisville, where it was detached as cavalry and sent after roving bands of guerrillas.

At Monterey it was in a sharp skirmish with the enemy, utterly routing him and capturing over 100 prisoners. During the summer of 1862 it was engaged in checking and pursuing Morgan's forces and in driving them away during their raids through Kentucky.

A portion of the battery reached Munfordville on Sept. 15, that place being threatened by the advance of Bragg's army, and lost 1 gun during the two days' fight that followed, the garrison being compelled to surrender by superior forces.

During Bragg's advance upon Louisville, the battery was engaged in the work of repelling his forces. At Kentucky River near Versailles, it was in a brisk fight, in which the enemy was driven from the field, and on three several occasions it joined in pursuit of Morgan.

A section of the battery was stationed at Hartsville, Tenn., with a brigade of Dumont's division, when Morgan, with 1,500 picked infantry, appeared and captured the post, the battery losing 2 guns and 2 men killed. It went to Gallatin and refitted, being placed in charge of Fort Thomas, where it remained until Jan. 23, 1865, when it moved to Chattanooga, and remained on duty at the forts until ordered home.

It was mustered out July 5, 1865, with 146 men and officers. On March 11, 1862, Benjamin S. Nicklin was commissioned captain, in place of Capt. Coulson, resigned.

Notes

John Stanley, The Eldest, and his 2nd wife, Martha Hutchens reportedly had a dau Elizabeth, who married a Mr. Alvis, given name not known. This Elizabeth was reported in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol VI, VA, with the birth date of 15 May 1749, which is later than the Elizabeth that m. David Alvis.

The wedding attended by Mary Alvis was on 2 MAR 1787 at the Cedar Creek Meeting House.
You would think Mary might be related to either the bride or groom, wouldn't you?

Mary was not residing in the immediate neighborhood of Cedar Creek, I don't believe. Was she the same Mary Alvis that had children by Woodson in Goochland County?

The marriage certificate for Littleberry Stanley and Agatha Stanley was published by James P. Bell in OUR QUAKER FRIENDS OF YE OLDEN TIME, (c) 1976, Genealogical Pub., Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD. See page 104.

Of course Bell didn't preserve the format of the orginal cerificates, which usually had three columns of signatures of witnesses, beginning with the names of the groom and bride.
