Slyvia,
The unit in which James Burnett (and Jesse Burnett) enlisted was Co. K, 51st AL Inf (Mounted), otherwise known as the 51st AL CAV and 51st AL Partisan Rangers. You can find a history and a complete roster of the 51st AL Inf (Mounted) at this site:

They became a part of Morgan's Alabama Cavalry Brigade in 1863 and there is another history on this site:

Morgan recruited the 51st AL Partisan Rangers in 1862 and became their colonel. It doesn't mention anything about Lynchburg, VA. My Alabama soldier lived in one county and enlisted in another.
