      This roster of Pittsylvania soldiers has been compiled with great
difficulty. It is hoped that this list will be the beginning and
descendents will add to it. Names have been drawn from private letters,
pension papers, and genealogies, and from the following sources:

who applied for the Pension act of 1932 and in some cases contains
considerably more information than given here) Those marked with a *
