John Bartley enlisted as 1st Sergeant on May 26, 1861, into the 5th Company of the Washington Artillery. He was present throughout the war and surrendered with General Richard Taylor to General Edward Canby on May 8, 1865.

Washington Artillery Battalion was organized in 1838 and fought in the Mexican War. It then was known as the "Native American" Battery. Reorganized in 1852 as the Washington Artillery, it was mustered into Confederate service on May 26, 1861 with five companies. The 5th Company fought at Shiloh, was active in the Kentucky Campaign and the Battle of Murfreesboro, then moved to Mississippi. Later it participated in the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Nashville and in 1865 shared in the defense of Mobile. The company lost 1 killed and 4 wounded at Murfreesboro, had 5 officers and 132 men fit for duty in January, 1863, and reported 10 killed and 20 wounded at Chickamauga. It totaled 118 men in December, 1863, and 116 in April, 1864.

From the late William A. Turner collection.  [jet] [PH:L]
