Ah, but I am not from Virginia, merely in Virginia. (For 35 years now, but nevertheless.) My home state had a 1st Infantry, 1st Cavalry, and 1st Artillery--one each. This is because we have no status anxiety about such things--our "first" status is validated every four years at the national political conventions when the clerk calls the roll for votes: "Alabama!" ;)

(As far as I can tell, my Confederate forebears found Virginians almost as annoying as Yankees.)
