Hi All, Need some help in finding a listing for the 77th Unit of Virginia Militia, Co. A. Have checked Cyndis list and many other Civil War sites to no avail. On one though I did find the name Corporal McDonald who was the non-com for a unit called the Fourth Independent Company of the Co. A Ohio Independent Cavalry (Unio Light Guard). and also listed in charge of the 77th. Looking for a David G. Purgit (ref. Civil War Muster Rolls, Va) who I think also is the David Pergat listed in Ohio. He was a brother to the William S. Purgitt who was postmaster of Kayser and wrote the Diary that is on the net. He is reffered to as writting to his brother in the Diary. Don't want to send for records from NARA until I have the info I need to fill in the blanks on the form. If anyone could just point me in the right direction to get a listing of those who served in the 77th, I think I could find the missing info there. I I want to thank those who have helped me get this far in looking up this person. Each clue help in th ultimate find. Diane Kleinke nee Purgett
