These Virginia Regiments never formed: 35th, 39th and 43rd.
The 39th Virginia Regiment was raised at the Eastern Shore of Virginia and failed to cross the Potomac River. Thus disbanded.
The 20th Virginia Regiment was disbanded in October 1862. Two companies were captured at Rich Mountain (West Virginia), Five companies were disbanded and one company transferred to another regiment. The two remaining companies were assigned to the 59th Virginia Infantry. The two companies captured were "Company G, Hampden-Sydney Boys" and "Company H, Clover Rifles".
This book lists all Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Heavy Artillery, battalions and companies of everything. Local defense troops, Militia companies, Reserves, armory companies, etc.
I picked this book up about 20 years ago at Harper's Ferry. The book was not for sale, but the lady saw my interest in it and sold it to me for 10 bucks?? Worth every penny, I would have paid $100 for it.
I hope that helps,
