 Caperton's In the Civil War

During the "War between the States" many Caperton's fought. While the vast majority fought for the Confederacy, there were a few that fought on the side of the Union. Below is the listing, it includes the name, company, rank, which side they fought for, and a notes section of information found in their record. Where a solider was in more than one unit, he will have an entry for each unit served. I have also included a field where (as I figure them out) I will list their Henry number as found in Bernard Caperton's book "The Caperton Family". If you have additions and/or corrections, please contact me at donald@caperton.info

Union records were taken from National Archives Record Group 94. Confederate records were taken from National Archives Record Group 109 microfilm series M253
