(excerted - did not note source - will try to find)
Thirteen were killed in action, 11 died of disease, 20 were wounded (one 7 times) and 9 were discharged through disability, although only one of these (who had been badly wounded) was after May 1862. From that time on the shortage of manpower was a problem that the Confederacy never overcame and it was apparently much more difficult to get an honorable discharge. Seven were classified as AWOL at various times, but of these three were on March 25th 1865 when the war was all but over. Eighteen were missing for various amounts of time trying to find replacement horses – the Confederate Cavalry owned their own horses and were responsible for replacements. Three were classified as deserters. I found most interesting that both Samuel Davis and John Arundell were killed by Negro prisoners at Dumfries within 9 days of one another in February 1864. However no details are available of these incidents.
Ordered to patrol the area within 5 miles of C A Arundell's tavern, seeking evidence of illegal gatherings of slaves.
Listed in the 1861 Personal Property Tax Book
Voted for Secession in Alexandria with other members of Col M D Ball's calvary in 1861. Also voted at West Eend.
Was killed near his home (Brimstone Hill) by a Union soldier whom he was guarding.
Brown, R S Stringfellow of the Fourth
In Mosby's Calvalary. Killed during the war.

(This is an excerpt from a story that was written by Virgil Carrington "Pat" Jones about the fight at Arundel's Tavern that the author was hoping to have published in "Ranger Mosby " or his other book, "Gray Ghose and Rebel Rangers" but for one reason or another never made it to print. Pat Jones gave the article to Tom Evans to be published in a future Mosby Vignette. )
"But tragedy would strike the Arundel family when John Arundel and Frank Stringfellow, the Scout, were sent out on a secret operation by Jeb Stuart to Alexandria to set up spy network. On their way to Alexandria, they stopped at Arundel's Tavern to visit John's family. While en route they captured two Yankee "would be" engineers. Stringfellow would leave John to guard the prisoners in a makeshift fort that was located in the woods behind Arundel's Tavern. While Stringfellow was in Alexandria, the Yankee prisoners apparently overpowered young John and struck him upside the head with an ax, killing him instantly. John Arundel would be killed in the woods directly behind his own house and would be buried very close to where he fell. "
