Re: Anyone with ancestors from 39th VA Calvary?
Thanks for sharing info on your ancestor. My ancestor; Capt.Samuel B.Brown of the 39th VA Cav Company C was also a bodyguard for Gen.Lee. My research has shown there were several Bodyguards for Gen.Lee and glad you posted. I will try to get back to you with additional information on your
ancestor as I have obtained the Virginia Regimental Series. Did you find which county in VA he mustered in from? And where did he settle after the war? Capt. Brown settled in Fort Valley,Georgia after the war and is buried there in Oaklawn Cemetary. Thanks again,Louis Lee
