John Justice, Private, Company H, 1st Regiment Virginia Infantry (Williams Rifles), “Rebel Deserter, ”swore Oath of Allegiance to the United States, May 26, 1865 at Charleston, West Virginia, 29 year old Farmer, 6’ 1”, dark complexion, blue eyes, brown hair, resident of Logan County, West Virginia

Note: As he does not appear on a Company H muster roll, the last muster taking place August 31, 1864, I suspect that he enrolled in the regiment sometime after that date. Suspect he was able to avoid the Conscripting Officers up to that time, enrolled, then deserted at the first opportunity.
