Some Local Civil War Units
This information was taken from
A Guide to Virginia Military Organizations 1861-1865, compiled
by Lee A. Wallace, Jr. It is by far the premier source for information
on Virginia's Confederate units. It is a must have reference point
for all Virginia researchers. I am sure there are many more
local units but these are the ones listed under Henrico, Richmond
and Manchester by name.
