Am looking for information on an Allen R. or P. Rasberry who kept a ledger at the Bibb County Iron Company/Briarfield Rolling Mill during 1864. The first page in this ledger, now housed at the University of Alabama archives, notes ''This book belongs to Sergt. A. P. or R. Rasberry, Co. E. 64th Georgia Regt.''

Some of its members were recruited in Johnson and Warren counties. It fought at Olustee under General G.P. Harrison, then in May, 1864, was ordered to Virginia with about 400 officers and men. The unit proceeded to Petersburg and reported to General Wise for service as provost guards. Later it was assigned to General A.R.

OLUSTEE, FL
(Ocean Pond)
FEB. 20th, 1864
Olustee, Fla., Feb. 20 1864. Florida Expedition.

About 3 p m. the advance of the expedition, Col. Guy V. Henry's
brigade of cavalry, came upon the Confederate pickets somewhat
to the east of Olustee.

They were soon driven back to their supports, which opened
fire, when a portion of the 7th Conn. cavalry was deployed as
skirmishers and a battery placed in position to develop the
Confederate force and position.

It was the intention of Brig.-Gen. Truman Seymour, commanding,
to engage the enemy in front with artillery, meanwhile throwing
out a brigade to fall upon the Confederate left. The
disposition was accordingly made, the cavalry skirmishers
called in and the 7th N. H. deployed in their places, but the
troops were hardly in position before the New Hampshire
regiment broke and fled in confusion.

The 8th U. S. colored infantry moving into the same position,
also broke and fled after its colonel had been killed.

The 54th Mass. colored infantry, then occupied the position and
the fighting continued sharp until dark, the whole Federal
force except the cavalry being actively engaged.

After dark Seymour withdrew, abandoning 6 pieces of artillery.

His losses were 1,800 in killed, wounded and missing, and 39
horses. The Confederate casualties were about 250 killed and
wounded.

Porter died in hospital in Richmond Va. either Oct.2, 1864 according to CSA muster rolls or Sept. 6, 1864 according to Jackson Hospital records. He was wounded in the right leg and later died of the wound while in Union custody I think. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetary in Richmond Va. His grave is only marked as Graddick and gives his unit no.

John Outlaw was my great-great-grandfather. I have little history on his military career other than what other relatives have discovered. He was wounded at Petersburg -- recovered and rejoined his unit. He contracted pneumonia in March 1865, and was captured by the Federals at Jackson Hospital in Richmond, April 1865. Family research indicate he was awarded the The Confederate Cross of Honor but the Daughters of the Confederacy do not have records of such an award. I am pretty sure he received the award because I have a picture -- date unknown but sometime after the war -- w/ his wife and he is wearing the medal.
