Re: Anyone with ancestors from 39th VA Calvary?

Other than the Virginia Series book, there appears to be nothing else written on this unit in which some 592 men are recorded as having served.
Samuel Brown does not have records in the files of the 39th and is shown as commanding the battalion at Appomattox
.

John H. Richardson, appointed Major, 39th Battalion, Virginia Infantry (Richardson's Battalion of Scouts, Guides & Couriers, 13th Battalion Virginia Cavalry) September 24, 1862

The 39th Battalion Virginia Cavalry consisted of four companies, A to D, which had been organized on various dates from August 18,1862, to January 24, 1864. It was also known as the 13th Battalion Virginia Cavalry and as Richardson's Battalion of Scouts, Guides and Couriers.
