Additional Details

The Loudoun Guards were a militia company in northern Virginia commanded by Charles B. Tebbs. This list of their members was drawn up just two weeks after Fort Sumter kicked off the Civil War. It asserts that these men have been "mustered into the service of the state," and is signed and certified by the adjutant of the militia. The company was soon made part of the 8th Virginia Infantry in the Confederate Army, and would suffer tremendous casualties at Gaines Mill and Gettysburg.
