Announcements
Major Announcemet: I have recently
purchased a larger capacity for the 11th's page and eliminated the annoying
advertisements. This is costing me monthly, but I have so much more
room now to add the many features I have. Thank you for your support
in viewing my site. My cost for this site is $84.00/year. If any
person feels generous enough to donate any amount for this site's operation,
I would appreciate any amount. I want this site to continue adding data,
and information as it comes in. John
Many thanks to Ann Newell who sent me copies
of the West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia (Volume 6) Covering soldiers buried in Wirt County. I have added over 50 or more names
to the Cemetery index for Wirt County. She has also let me know that she
has photos of her ancestor, 1st Lt. Marlin Park of Company B, and his personal
trunk. Thank you Ann!!!!
See the added contributors page linked after
this paragraph. Donations to keep this site active and free to all, I have
asked (above) for any contributions. Already I have had a response. Therefore
in acknowledgement and thanks, I am commissioning these contributors [click].

Roster
The following rosters
for each company were compiled from several sources. The main
source was taken from the West Virginia Adjutant General's reports
for 1864 and 1865. The 1865 report did not contain information after
the winter of 1864-65, when the data for each company was submitted.
Records added to this roster include the Descriptive logs for the 11th
West Virginia (NARA), Pension records, Service Records, Medical Records,
and various other geneological sources, such as the Special U.S. Veterans
Census 1890. Information was also taken from the Roll of Honor: Civil
War Union Veterans, CD#351, by Broderbund. I am sure that something
may have been overlooked or missed, however, I have done my best to include
all. Be sure to check all sections of the roster, that is, Discharges,
Deaths, Transfers, and Desertions.

The State Flag of West Virginia
(Pictured is the 15th WV
Infantry)
The 15th fought in the
same Campaigns as the 11th, for the most part, and the flags would
be similar. The 11th's flag was almost entirely destroyed in battle.
Click the link above to learn about its making. The guide on flag
is the actual guide on for the 11th and is also stored at the West Virginia
Historical Museum.
