Page County VA Men in Gray
Thomas Spratt
While some histories provide much information on Civil War veteran's service, they do not include much genealogical data. Men in Gray accomplishes this and in many instances parental information, spouses and names of children and burial sites for all Page County veterans. Names are also listed alphabetically by unit. If you don't know your veteran's unit, or you just want more information, this is the book. Published in 1997. 414 pages.
