The American Civil War Research Database record the 23rd Virginia Infantry Battalion lost at 3rd Winchester, Sept. 19, 1864, 2 dead, 19 wounded, 142 captured. John Wesley is not listed in these talleys.

In fact, there is no J. Wesley listed in any Virginia unit in this database nor in the Fold3 Compiled Service Records.

In the CSRs, there exist Company D, Record of Events for
these periods:

Nov. & Dec., 1862, dtd. Jan. 21, 1863

His name is not recorded on any of these reports. Could it be that John Wesley are his given names?

No. 180. Abstract from Inspection Report of Patton's brigade, for September 29.

This brigade, under the command of Brigadier General John Echols, entered upon the campaign of 1864 with 2,150 men and a full complement of officers on May 6 . . .

. . . In the hard-fought battle of Winchester, on the 19th, the brigade organization was almost broken up. Colonel George S. Patton, commanding the brigade, an officer of highest gallantry and standing and a gentleman irreproachable in character, was left in the hands of the enemy mortally wounded. LieutenantColonel C. Derrick, the commanding officer of the Twenty-third Virginia Battalion, and LieutenantColonel G. M. Edgar, of the Twenty-sixth Virginia Battalion, were captured while gallantly attempting to rally their commands, thus leaving the brigade without an officers, the most gallant and efficient, either met their deaths on the battle-field or fell captive into the hands of the enemy. . .
