I am going to put the info that has SANDRIDGEs in the Civil War from Albemarle Co, VA on the list so it will be in the archives for future Sandridge researchers. Doris, the lady who typed it on VA-Roots, gave me permission. Rita Doris wrote: I live in Albemarle CO and have recently acquired an old text about its history. The book is decidely pro-Confederate in its view of the War, which is to be expected for a book published 1884 in VA. I am NOT a Civil War expert and I have nothing further to tell about any of this information. I place it here only to help others. Please do NOT contact me asking for further information. I shall eventually send all of the given information to the list. It has taken days of typing to complete this task, so please forgive some abbreviations which I have taken the liberty to use. My own ancestry which came from this area is pro-Union, so please do not chide me for the pro-South sentiment...I'm giving the information as recounted in the source.

HISTORY OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY Albemarle County in the Civil War Of the stern realities of war within its own borders Albemarle county had no experience during the War between the States until the Spring of 1865, when Sheridans raid against the Danville and South Side railroads brought a portion of his vandal troops through Scottsville. About one-fourth of the village was burned and the insults and injuries usually attendant upon such incursions inflicted on the citizens. A number of the Federals were captured. The county furnished for actual service in the field more than its quota of men, and the majority of its citizens, to the close of the struggle for independence and State sovereignty, were unfalteringly loyal to the Confederate States government. The fortunes of war have left the muster rolls of the Confederate States government mainly in the possession of the enemy, and it is believed that the following roll of Honor of the Soldiers who fought for the Lost Cause from Albemarle is as complete as it can be made. The publishers of the Encyclopeida have spared no effort or cost to make it so. [Where no other date of enlistment is given, it was in the first year of the war. Where no other date is given of death or discharge, the service was till the close of the war. Where no rank is given, the enlistment was as private. In the miscellany are rosters of some now residents in this county, who enlisted and served from other counties.] NINETEENTH VIRGINIA INFANTRY, HUNTONS BRIGADE, PICKETTS DIVISION, LONGSTREETS CORPS [Regimental history furnished by Adjutant C. C. Wertenbaker.] The 19th Regiment of Virginia Infantry was composed of the following companies: CO. A, Monticello guard, from Charlottesville, and was commanded by Capt. W. B. Mallory at the time it was called into service. Co. B., Albemarle Rifles, Capt. R. T. W. Duke from Charlottesville, Co. C. Scottsville Guards, Capt. A. W. Gantt. Co. D., Howardsville Guards, Capt. Josiah Faulkner. Co. E., Piedmont Guards, Capt. Charles Peyton, from the Stony Point neighborhood, Albemarle county. Co. F, Capt. Bennett Taylor, raised in different parts of Albemarle county, Co. G, Capt. Thomas Boyd, from Nelson county, in the Tye River neighborhood. Co. H., Capt. Ellis, from Amherst Courthouse, Virginia. Co. I, Capt. Taylor Berry, Amherst county. Co. K, Albemarle county men. The first colonel of the regiment was Philip St. George Cocke, of Powhaten, who, up to the time the Virginia troops were turned over to the Confederate government commanded the whole of the VA forces in northern VA. He never took command of the regiment, and the only official act he ever performed as colonel of the Nineteenth was to appoint First Lieutenant C. C. Wertenbaker, of Co. A, as adjutant of the regiment. Gen. Cocke commanded the Third Brigade (in which the Nineteenth was) and after the first battle of Manassas was promoted brigadier general. He committed suicide soon after, and the writer has no doubt that his having been taken from the supreme command of the VA army, and reduced to a regimental commander, was what caused his death. Lieutenant-Colonel John Bowie Strange was the actual commander of the regiment, and to him was due the drill and discipline of the command. Major Henry Gantt, of Scottsville, was the third field officer. Companies A and B went to the first capture of Harpers Ferry, but were ordered back by Governor Letcher, and after a few days at home in Charlottesville, spent in equipping themselves for the struggle they knew was coming, they were ordered to Culpeper Courthouse. There the other seven companies joined them, and the command was sent to the front at Manassas. They were not fully engaged at first Manassas, as they were holding Lewis ford in the early part of July 21, but they were holding Lewis Ford in the early part of July 21, but got into the battle just before its close. They lost one man killed and several wounded. The Nineteenth from this time forward was part of Longstreets command, and was hotly engaged in nearly all of the battles in Virginia-Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Seven Days Fight Around Richmond, the battles in Maryland, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Five Forks, Sailors Creek, etc. They saw service in North Carolina, etc., indeed, were in nearly all the battles Col. Strange was killed at Boonesboro, on South Mountain, Col. Ellis at Gettysburg. Co.. Henry Gantt was badly wounded at Gettysburg. Major Woodson was killed whilst commanding the regiment at second Cold Harbor. Co. Charles Peyton lost an arm in Maryland, and many men were killed in battle and many died from wounds and exposure. The regiment numbered about 800 men when first formed. Its conduct was always excellent in the filed, and its "esprit du corps" was excellent to the last. It, together with the remnant of Picketts Division, was captured at Sailors Creek just before the surrender. The battle flag o f this regiment, now in possession of Sergeant James Persley, of Charlottesville, was the one used by the Nineteenth for a portion of the time it was in service. When it became too much shot to pieces to hold together, a new flag was substituted. The regiment had several whilst in service. The men who served in this regiment have, since the war, been quiet and hard-working citizens, an, with few exceptions, are respected and law-abiding men. The roster of many of this regiment from Albemarle county will be found in the miscellaneous service. COMPANY A, NINETEENTH VIRGINIA INFANTRY. Captain, William B.
