Revolutionary War
Regiments. Service men in Augusta County served in various regiments. Men often joined a company (within a regiment) that originated in their county. Augusta County supplied soldiers for the:


 * - &lt;a href="8th Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War)"&gt;8th Virginia Regiment&lt;/a&gt;
 * - &lt;a href="9th Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War)"&gt;9th Virginia Regiment&lt;/a&gt;
 * - &lt;a href="10th Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War)"&gt;10th Virginia Regiment&lt;/a&gt;
 * - &lt;a href="12th Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War)"&gt;12th Virginia Regiment&lt;/a&gt; (1st and 8th Companies)

Writing in 1889, local historian Waddell wrote "It is impossible to obtain any list or particular account of troops furnished by Augusta county during the Revolutionary war, and the names of only a few comparatively of the soldiers have escaped oblivion." Has this conclusion held true or been disproven?
