Although he doesn't give any organizational details, William Seymour (an officer in the Louisiana Brigade) mentioned the brigade's sharpshooters acted as skirmishers at Fisher's Hill and repelled three attacks. The next day he said "Captain Weightman" was killed not ten minutes after assuming command of the sharpshooters. Strangely, I could never find a record of a Captain Weightman in any of the Louisiana Tiger regiments.
