Rosters by Sandi

| 1-
Names were often spelled as they sounded by
clerks, and handwriting often misread by
transcribers, thus, there are various spellings
for the same surnames. |

- The Militia. Not everyone who served in the
militia served in the Civil War, although many
did. Drills were held every month at the various
camps in the area - they were to be ready at a
moments notice. On occassion names will be found
that appear to be the same- one showing militia
-one in the war. It could be the same individual,
or not. The militia names were taken from the
handwritten copies by the commanders of the
militia units. |
