These designations are from the "official" or paper units. I
have not confirmed them yet. O.H. Williams says there were three companies.
These units apparently had many men from the Baltimore and
Annapolis garrison artillery units who were also sailors - judging from
the naval buttons found on the battlefield.

Less than 100 men
