    1. [WVA] WV county militia records
    2. John Ballard
    3. Online at http://129.71.134.132/militia/wvunmil.html and searchable by name, county or unit.

There are some interesting features which show up from inspection of several records. Most Pocahontas volunteers signed up in Buckhannon, Upshur County in 1864; my ggfather's autobiography notes that his Waugh family in Buckhannon was flooded with Pocahontas relatives. The following counties are available now, others later: >Barbour >Boone >Braxton >Brooke >Cabell >Calhoun >Clay >Gilmer >Greenbrier >Hancock >Hardy >Lewis >Logan >Marshall >Mason >McDowell >Monroe >Morgan >Nicholas >Pendleton >Pleasants >Pocahontas >Preston >Putnam >Raleigh >Randolph >Roane >Tucker >Wayne >Wirt >Wyoming
