The 38th Virginia Infantry was organized in May and June of 1861,
in the southern Virginia counties of Pittsylvania, Halifax, and
Mecklenburg. Seven of the ten Companies were recruited in
Pittsylvania, thus it was called the Pittsylvania Regiment. Less
than a year prior, census takers unknowingly finished recording for
posterity the men who would go to war. An in depth study shows
seven Virginia counties and six North Carolina counties bordering
the recruitment area of Pittsylvania, Halifax, and Mecklenburg
would contribute men to the 38th Virginia. The 38th Virginia
Infantry was in the field of battle from Yorktown in April of 1862,
to Appomattox on April 9, 1865. The largest losses suffered were at
battles of 7 Pines, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Chester Station, and
the 2nd Battle of Drewry's Bluff. Herein is detail on the orders of
battles, the prison camps endured, and the names of parents and
wives of the soldiers, with focus on the census of 1860.
