Thomas W. Bayly - Private
|
Thomas W. Bayly enlisted in the 39th Virginia Infantry in 1861. Colonel Charles Smith formed eleven companies into a regiment that was accepted into the Confederate service in late September 1861. The regiment was ordered to join the remainder of the Confederate Army on the western Shore but due to Federal activity in the Chesapeake Bay and on the Eastern Shore that was impossible. As a result the adjutant and Inspector General office issued Special Order No 20 on January 25, 1862. The order disbanded the regiment and mustered the men out of service with an effective date of Feb 3, 1862.
