1st West Virginia Cavalry, Civil War

THOMAS GRACE, Company "I"

From the West Virginia Adjutant General's Office, as compiled by the West Virginia State Archives: Thomas Grace enrolled at Wheeling, W.Va.; age 27; mustered in 18 Nov 1861 at Clarksburg, W.Va. Re-enlisted as a Vet. Vol., 23 Dec 1863, at New Creek, W.Va., under Gen'l. Order #191, War Dep't Series of 1863. Deserted 24 Apr 1864 at Parkersburg, W.Va.

Note:
Apparently, Thomas Grace re-enlisted in the Veteran Vols. on 23 Dec 1863 and mustered in 01 Jan 1864, per 1864 AG Report posted elsewhere on this site. There are conflicts with the dates, as the 1864 report shows that he deserted on 27 Jun 1863 at Frederick, Md. More research is needed to clarify.
