Dear Jane, I have checked the Hanover Troop for any Garthrights and found none. The Hanover Troop was Company G of the 4th Virginia Cavalry and was also called the Hanover Light Dragoons. I was able to find a large group of the Garthrights who joined Company G of the 15th Virginia Infantry "The Southern Guard" which was made up of men from Henrico County. There were seven Garthrights who fought in the 15th Virginia Infantry. Three of them had the first name of John. There was John R. Garthright and his son John R. Garthright Jr., and a John Garthright. All three of these were in the same company "G" Southern Guard. I could find no record of an Allie or Ollie Garthright. Those of course would have been nicknames anyway. John R. Garthright Jr. was wounded at the Battle of Drewry's Bluff on 5-16-64, recovered, and elected 2nd Lieutenant of his company on 11-11-64. There are living descendants of these Garthrights in the area. Some of them are longtime members of the Battery Park Christian Church on Brook Rd. in Richmond, but that is all I can remember. Hope this may be of some help to you.
