Note: I have seen references to a Nathaniel Ramsey serving in the civil war, in the below regiment associated with Rockbridge Co.
KERR'S CREEK CONFEDERATES - COMPANY "G" 58TH VIRGINIA INFANTRY
This Company was composed of men from Kerr's Creek, with the exception of eight or nine members who
were from the Eastern part of the County. It was musted into service at Staunton, Va., August 1st, 1861, and was
one of the ten Companies that formed the 58th Regiment of Virginia Infantry. This regiment was organized and in a
camp of instruction at Staunton, Va., until the fall of 1861, when it was ordered to Highland County, Va., where it
was attached to General Edward Johnston's brigade, and served in Highland and Pocahontas Counties until April
1862, when it returned to Valley Mills in Augusta County. It was commanded first by Colonel Edmund Goode and
afterward by Colonel S.H.Detcher and Colonel Frank Board. At the general reorganization of the army in the
spring of 1862, the company was reorganized (May 1st, 1862) at Valley Mills, by the election of officers and was
continued in the same regiment. On the 6th of May 1862, at Valley Mills, the brigade joined General Thomas J.
(Stonewall) Jackson's army and at once moved west, and on the 8th of May was engaged in the battle of McDowell,
which was the opening of the famous Valley campaign of 1862, and continued in General Jackson's corps until the
close of the war.
