Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
In accomplishing this, Lieutenant Stephen Patterson was shot dead by one of the enemy's sharpshooters. On the 30th the regiment was supporting the 1st brigade, and on the 31st, with the 7th Virginia Infantry, was ordered one mile to the left to drive the enemy's skirmishers and capture his works if possible. After driving in his pickets, and ascertaining that he was very strongly entrenched, the command fell back near General Smyth's headquarters and encamped for the night, and on April 1st rejoined the 2d brigade.
