Joseph, WHICH First Virginia would you like referenced here? Continental Line, Infantry -- "The Old Firsts", Cavalry -- regiment or battalion,your choice, Artillery -- regiment, battalion, light or horse. Or I could go onto the "State Line", militia, local defense and those in Federal service?
Anyway, I called up NYS military museum and they want a letter. If I am going to do that I might as well do the research myself. So I will & hopefully I can find something out as to why NY has two 1st NY Cav's with a "Veterans" designation.
