    • 21st Regiment, Virginia Infantry (Confederate)

      21st Regiment, Virginia Infantry was organized in June and mustered into Confederate service in July, 1861, at Fredericksburg, Virginia. Most of the men were recruited in the city of Richmond and the counties of Charlotte, Mecklenburg, Cumberland, and Buckingham. Only 6 officers and 50 men surrendered. The field officers were Colonels William Gilham, John M Patton Jr, and William A Witcher; Lieutenant Colonels Richard H Cunningham Jr, and William P Moseley; and Majors William R Berkeley, Alfred D Kelly, John B Moseley, and Scott Shipp.

      Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
      Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded.

      Company C (Oliver Grays) - many men from Mecklenburg County
