Sharon,

I got it from a book "History of the Fifth West Virgina Calvalry
Formerly the Second Virginia Infantry" by Frank S. Reader. "Company I.
This company was orgaized in Greenfield (now Coal Center) and
California, Washington county, PA, soon after the firing on Fort
Sumter." "At last the word came that loyal Virginia was streching forth
her hands, asking the loyal sons of Pennsylvania to come to her help,
and we decided to enter the service of that state."

Carol
