May have to get this. Even though my ancestors started in Augusta County in the early 1700s, then migrated to Giles County, eventually ending up in the now Kanawha county WV in 1830, I can’t find more than a couple who actually fought in the Civil War. I’m sure there had to be more.

My ancestors too started out in Augusta County. By the early 1830s they were in Kanawha County and my great-grandfather fought for the South in Capt. Beckett's Cavalry Co C of the 36th Virginia Infantry. Joined in 1861, captured by Yanks in 1863 and sent to Camp Chase in Ohio. His younger brother, a true hill-billy, fought for the Union.
