Information on Whittington: William Whittington Residence was not listed; Enlisted on 5/22/1861 at Poca, WV as a Private. On 5/22/1861 he mustered into "A" Co. VA 22nd Infantry (date and method of discharge not given) He was listed as: * Detailed 8/13/1861 White Sulphur Springs, WV (On mounted guard) * Sick 8/20/1861 White Sulphur Springs, WV (With measles, no further record.) Also additional information on Monroe S Thaxton from what Mike Peters gave is that he originally signed with Company 'A' in the 8th WV mounted infantry which converted in January 1864 to Company 'A' in the 7th WV Cavalry. He applied for an invalid Pension July 22, 1889 and someone named "Nettie Thaxton" applied as Widow in September 27 1920 (the '20' is fuzzy and might be something else). The pension file should be available through NARA.
