Lain (variously spelled Lane and Layne) was born in Albemarle, Virginia, to Elizabeth Lain in the 1830s. During the American Civil War, in Richmond, on April 23, 1861, Lain joined the 15th Virginia Infantry. In 1862, Lain was promoted to first sergeant and between August and October of 1863, he became the regimental commissary sergeant. Lain died during the Battle of Drewry's Bluff, on May 16, 1864, and left behind his mother as sole beneficiary--Lain was unmarried. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.","External source: \"SGT Claybrook Y Lain\", Findagrave.com,  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73849931/claybrook-y-lain , accessed April 17, 2023.","The 15th Virginia Infantry, initially called the 3rd Virginia Regiment, of the Confederate Army was originally formed from ten companies taken from Richmond and its surrounding area--some companies even predated the southern states' succession from the Union, beginning the American Civil War. The original company names were: Henrico Grays, Virginia Life Guards, Patrick Henry's Rifles, Henrico Guard, Ashland Grays, Emmett Guard, Henrico Southern Guard, Young Guard, Hanover Grays, and Marion Rifles. These companies later held alphabetical designations. (A relatively diverse \"regiment,\" the Emmett Guard was composed largely of Irish citizens while the Marion Rifles included German citizens.) The 15th Virginia Infantry was involved in significant battles at Bethel Church, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, South Mountain, and Sharpsburg."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe guide to the 15th Virginia Infantry History by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\"\u003ehttps://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\u003c/a\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["The guide to the 15th Virginia Infantry History by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ )."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eResearchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], 15th Virginia Infantry History, Ms2009-111, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Researchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], 15th Virginia Infantry History, Ms2009-111, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe processing and description of the 15th Virginia Infantry History commenced in July 2009 and was completed in October 2009.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["The processing and description of the 15th Virginia Infantry History commenced in July 2009 and was completed in October 2009."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe 15th Virginia Infantry History is a handwritten account by enlisted soldier Claybrook Y.

Dorman Davidson, was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, in 1812. By 1838, Davidson had left Virginia for Indiana. He is listed as a charter member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, and he served as the state's quartermaster-general from 1839 to 1844. Davidson married Catherine Noble (1823-1851), the daughter of Indiana Governor Noah Noble, in 1840, with the ceremony performed by Henry Ward Beecher in Indianapolis. The Davidsons would have five children, including Preston Alexander Davidson. The 1850 federal census describes A. H. Davidson as a 38-year-old farmer, living with wife C. M., five young Davidson children, and C. S. and U. P. Noble.  Alexander H. Davidson died on March 28, 1863 and was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis (Marion County), Indiana. ","Preston A. Davidson, son of Alexander H. and Catherine Noble Davidson, was born in Indianpolis on August 1, 1842. A student at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) for the 1860/1861 term, Davidson enlisted as a private in Company B, 5th Virginia Infantry at Lexington, Virginia on April 5, 1861.  Wounded in the right shoulder at the Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, Davidson recovered in a Charlottesville hospital. (Soon after Bull Run, Company B was transferred to the 27th Virginia Infantry as Company H.) Davidson was discharged on April 27, 1862. He may be the P. A. Davidson described in the 1870 federal census as a 27-year-old farmer living in Lexington, Virginia. By 1880, Davidson had returned to Indiana; the census for that year lists him among residents in the Indianpolis home of his brother-in-law, G. Frank Miller. For occupation, the census simply notes \"at home.\" The 1900 census shows Davidson rooming in the Lexington, Kentucky home of Sarah Hawkins. He seems to have been living at the Kentucky Confederate home by 1910, and he died in the infirmary there on June 27, 1914. Preston A. Davidson was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis.","The guide to the Alexander H.

A search of the 1860 census revealed only one person with a given name of Preston and a last name beginning with D living in Indianapolis in 1860.

He is listed as a charter member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, and he served as the state's quartermaster-general from 1839 to 1844. Davidson married Catherine Noble (1823-1851), the daughter of Indiana Governor Noah Noble, in 1840, with the ceremony performed by Henry Ward Beecher in Indianapolis. The Davidsons would have five children, including Preston Alexander Davidson. The 1850 federal census describes A. H. Davidson as a 38-year-old farmer, living with wife C. M., five young Davidson children, and C. S. and U. P. Noble.  Alexander H. Davidson died on March 28, 1863 and was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis (Marion County), Indiana. ","Preston A. Davidson, son of Alexander H. and Catherine Noble Davidson, was born in Indianpolis on August 1, 1842. A student at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) for the 1860/1861 term, Davidson enlisted as a private in Company B, 5th Virginia Infantry at Lexington, Virginia on April 5, 1861.  Wounded in the right shoulder at the Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, Davidson recovered in a Charlottesville hospital. (Soon after Bull Run, Company B was transferred to the 27th Virginia Infantry as Company H.) Davidson was discharged on April 27, 1862. He may be the P. A. Davidson described in the 1870 federal census as a 27-year-old farmer living in Lexington, Virginia. By 1880, Davidson had returned to Indiana; the census for that year lists him among residents in the Indianpolis home of his brother-in-law, G. Frank Miller. For occupation, the census simply notes \"at home.\" The 1900 census shows Davidson rooming in the Lexington, Kentucky home of Sarah Hawkins. He seems to have been living at the Kentucky Confederate home by 1910, and he died in the infirmary there on June 27, 1914. Preston A.
