Just today I reviewed the Edwards Family Papers at the Library of Virginia, which has a diary of T. W. B. Edwards of Company C, 9th Virginia Cavalry, who made the following comments regarding the Gettysburg campaign: 27 [June 1863] - crossed the Potomac ... July 1st - passed by Carlisle, shelled town, thence through the Cumberland by the Holly Spring paper mill, beautiful road ... 2nd - reached Gettysburg and went immediately to our left and were exposed to severe shelling. 3d - attack by our infantry ... terrible cavalry fight on left, our regiment charged the enemy supported by 13th, both not numbering over 80 men, drove Yankees ... 4 [July] - commenced to fall back ... marched all night, very tired, road [illegible] and very rough. Other accounts of the 9th can be found in Confederate Veteran magazine, vol. 9 (1901), p. 222 (about Stuart's mid-1863 ride around the Union army). A June 1913 address by Gordon Lewis of Tappahannock appears in Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine, Dec 1963, vol. XII, pp. 1172-1175; Lewis gives a general history of the regiment. He notes that Company A from Stafford County was headed at the organization by Captain E. M. Henry.
