Re: 39th Regiment, Virginia Militia

The names are close, but almost all militiamen of this age would have been called into service by the law of April 16, 1862. A man such as you describe should have gotten an exemption, joined a Confederate military command, or obtained passage out of the country to avoid CS service.
