8 REG'T (MAGNIEN'S) VIRGINIA MILITIA- Howell
I'm finding a lot of information on who fought in this regiment (or any regiment), but nothing on where the guys lived or where they were mustered.I have very general questions regarding all regiments:
*Can we assume that men of the same surnames, serving in the same regiment were related to one another?
*Were the men in a particular regiment neighbors before the war?
*Where did this regiment (or any regiment) travel and where were the battles
fought?
*Did some men serve in more than one regiment during the course of the war?
*What qualified a soldier to be designated as an officer?
I'm most interested in the Howell's of Virginia & TN (Elijah, William, William S., and James).
