Remember that men marked with an asterisk ENLISTED in Raleigh County; this would not necessarily mean they were from Raleigh County and it is very likely that men from Raleigh County enlisted at other places. Men from Raleigh County also served in other companies of the 36th Virginia and in other units of the Confederate States Army.
