JB,

Very interesting post. The VA units that were around Centreville, VA in late October 1861 received VA state flags from Governor John Letcher. If the 10th VA was part of that grouping at the time this is where they got their flag probably.

Your post and citation does open up the questions about VA flags being in Jackson's Valley army indeed. VA and NC were the only two CS states that made serious efforts to equip their units with state flags so if Jackson did not get them in the Valley then any that his units obtained came later?????

This would involve taking his order of battle and checking any surviving VA state flags as well as any of these unit histories, diaries, etc.
