According to Author Millard Bushong, these are many of the Jefferson County men who were mustered into Company G (Bott’s Greys) of the 2nd Virginia Infantry Regiment (C.S.A.) at Harper’s Ferry, May 11, 1861 and then were fiercely drilled and disciplined by the new commander, Col. Thomas Jackson,who had not yet gotten his famous nickname. A significant number of recruits moved over to a cavalry unit at first opportunity the following spring. Others persevered. Much of this relies on the roster research done by Historian Dennis Frye. -ED
Where a man served in two units, he is recorded in the unit he was in the longest or with the most record.
Census Summaries: The Censuses are 1850 and 1860 and are included in no particular order, except where they confirm the person’s existence within the County at those times. Past estimates of those who enlisted in Confederate units from Jefferson County have been excessive due to the inclusion of many who enlisted in Jefferson County but were not from Jefferson County.
The man who enlisted is represented by an “*” to the right of “W” or to the right of their profession.
The information represents: name – age – sex- color- profession – place of birth.
Service Records: utilize abbreviated terms such as POW (“prisoner of war”), AWOL (“absent without leave”), KIA (killed in action), MWIA (“wounded and missing in action”)
The numbers to the left represent dwelling and family numbers in each Census. The person’s name follows.
