Civil War Lists for WVA....

Yes, some states gave medals for the Civil War.  Being familiar with West Virginia being next to

Greene Co., Pa., I found my Ancestor's Medal on the list several  years ago.

Lucky us, a cousin I met while there was able to get  Our Ancestor's medal and sent it to me

a couple years ago.

Now I am looking for the other Ancestors that lived there that may have also served for WVA,

because the PA Regiments were filled quota's and the family joined family in WVA.

Border's were not important as much as serving for them at that time.

(Our family has a tendency to do that.  Dad Ray Dee Jones SR. land was split between Sonoma and Marin County, CA. He owned Sonoma ground and rented Marin Co. ground. They laid side by side with a creek in between them.) Most of the land family owned were duel counties or states. Iowa/Missouri was another area this happened a lot.

I 'm going to post some of the names that may apply to our various lines in Greene Co. area, that commuted back and forth even today.
