Young's company on June 24, 1862 consisted of 4 officers & 51 men.

June 5, 1862.

Honorable GEORGE W. RANDOLPH,

Secretary of War:

There is a battery of boat howitzers, commanded by Captain Young, doing nothing at Petersburg. It would be very serviceable here to place upon the hill in rear of Drewry's Bluff.

J. G. WALKER,
Brigadier-General.

……

Report of artillery in Major-General Magruder' division, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel S. D. Lee, June 24, 1862. . .

. . . Young’s Battery, 4 Officers, 51 Men, 2-6 pounder guns, 54 horses . . .

I would respectfully recommend that Page's, Young's, and Cosnahan's batteries be sent to the Reserve Artillery, under the brigadier-general commanding, until reorganized. At present they are not organized, efficient companies. They require repairs and refitting, which cannot be accomplished in the field. I request that an efficient six-gun battery be sent to replace them.

[STEPHEN D. LEE.]
