Re: 5th Virginia Infantry - H. E. Howard, Inc

Generally, the militia service of an individual is contained in the same Civil War Soldier & Sailor System

http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.cfm

But not all the records are there. You can also check by clicking on the red box at the top of this page. They have more access to information than I do. Usually the militia units here will give you the following message: "Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. contains no history for this unit.

As for the militia units themselves, I reference A Guide to Virginia Military Organizations, 1861-1865, by Lee A. Wallace, Jr.

Running the names you have provided, I find the following:

Cupp, D.

The regiment was active at First Manassas, First Kernstown, and in Jackson's Valley Campaign. Later it participated in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor, then it moved with Early to the Shenandoah Valley and fought in numerous conflicts around Appomattox. The unit lost 45 killed and 101 wounded at First Manassas, and there were 59 disabled of the 275 engaged at First Kernstown. It sustained 33 casualties at Malvern Hill, 15 at Cedar Mountain, 105 at Second Manassas, 19 in the Maryland Campaign, and 66 at Chancellorsville.
