There is a splendid account of the fighting on June 22, 1864, in a memoir in the Library of Congress ascribed to "J. W. F. Hatton" of the Confederate 1st Maryland Battery. However, page 261 of Goldsborough's "Maryland Line in the Confederate Army" reports that J. W. F. Hatton was killed in action earlier in the war. Fortunately, page 271 lists two other Hattons who may have authored the memoir: R. H. S. Hatton and Joseph Hatton.
Does anybody know which Hatton authored the memoir?
According to www.findagrave.com he J.W.F. Hatton died in 1911. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24097883/john-william_ford-hatton
