1st Eastern Virginia Volunteers |
 |
On the New Jersey mailing list, I found a very interesting posting about:
1st Eastern Virginia Loyal Volunteers.
1. They were part of the Union Army.
2. Notice that they were mostly from port towns.
3. The abundance of men born in Confederate States.
I am interested, because of the members from South Jersey and because it looks like a great story.
I will post more information as it becomes available. The unit's service records show that it mainly acted as a Coast Guard for the Eastern Shore. Except for being deployed as guards for Camp Hamilton, prison camp.

This is the contact person for gathering information: Here is a list of the men that were in that unit. I have further info on these men. Please contact me if one of these
are your relatives or if you are interested in the unit or especially |
