Confederate Service
Ryland Logan Hunt. My GG-Grandfather Ryland enlisted, along with his son John W., in the Republican Grove Rifles, Co. F, 38th VA Volunteers under Captain Jeduthan Carter. The book “38th Virginia Infantry” by G. Howard Gregory, shows that this unit was organized June 4, 1861 at Republican Grove in Halifax County, Virginia. Ryland was sent to Manassas Junction to guard baggage. He was discharged September 3, 1862 when his enlistment expired; possibly he was too old for his enlistment to be extended to battlefield duty. Son, John W. Hunt deserted April 1865. He was received by the Federals, took the oath, and was given passage to Jefferson County, Illinois and possibly spent the rest of his life away from his home.
