Source and scope

Source: Samuel T. Wiley, History of Preston County (West Virginia) (Kingwood: Journal Printing House, 1882), Chapter XII, printed pages 292–310. Read the digitized source.

The register transcribes the War of 1812 and Civil War roster material in Chapter XII, printed pages 292–310. The printed roster was checked against the Wiley scans; the check confirms that a name appears in this local-history source, not the identity or service of a particular individual.

Names, abbreviations, and unit headings follow the reviewed register. Repeated names are retained because they may represent different people, reenlistment, or a source/transcription question. They have not been merged.

The Preston County Veterans page brings Wiley’s source entries together with the West Virginia Veterans Memorial records while keeping each source clearly labeled. A matching name in the two collections should be researched before it is treated as the same person.
