2 pages, an unfortunate luck of the draw, but you may not be done, in fact I would bet that you are not. Lets find out!! In the 3rd Regiment Artillery there are two Moorefields, John R Moorefield and John Moorefield, probably one and the same. The two pages you received should have entries that reflect both names if they do not then you have only John R. Moorefield's file and another file to go. The records you mentioned show up as being First Lt. John Williams' Company, but Lt. John Williams was under the command of Capt.. Matthew Sims Company of Artillery Virginia Militia, otherwise know as Sims'. NOW, in this Sims' Company we have another John R. Morefield (note the single o). I know who I think this John R. Morefield could be and I am betting you do also. So at minimum we have at least one more file, probably two and I would not be surprised if there were more, that are actually one and the same person. I have seen many of the indexing systems in error and records not listed where records exist, so there could be more. Also the commanding officer of Captain Sims is not listed and there is the need to run him down and find out if John Moorefield is listed as having served anywhere else. With all of his records, times frames served accumulated, and the Regiments Commander found, there will be a better chance of locating what engagements were served in, unless that is, that John Moorefied, Lt John Williams or Captain Matthew Sims distinguished them selves in one of the engagements and has been written about. Hopefully some one out there may have some info for you on this Regiment and its Company.
