Virginia Volunteers. Muster-In Rolls, 1884-1919. Accession 32116. State government records collection, The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia.
Transferred from the Dept. of Military Affairs, Virginia National Guard, 15 June 1984.
The General Assembly passed an act on March 29, 1871 to provide for the organization of the Volunteer Militia of the State, and to repeal existing laws concerning the same. The militia, known as the Virginia Volunteers, was to consist of volunteers to be called into service in case of war, invasion, riots, etc. On March 17, 1884, another act was passed by the General Assembly to provide for the organization, maintenance and government of the Virginia volunteers. This act stipulated that the Virginia Volunteers should consist of no more than sixty companies of infantry, eight batteries of artillery, and ten troops of cavalry. The act also created the position of assistant inspector general whose duty was to muster and inspect each company, troop, or battery of volunteers once each year. The assistant inspector general then reported the result of these inspections to the adjutant general.
On April 25, 1898, the United States declared war on Spain. Immediately, the Secretary of War telegraphed J. Hodge Tyler, the Governor of Virginia, stating that three regiments of twelve companies of infantry were required for the war effort. The three regiments consisted of four companies from the 1st Regiment Infantry, eight companies from the 2nd Regiment Infantry, nine companies from the 3rd Regiment Infantry, eight companies from the 4th Regiment Infantry, two companies of the 3rd Battalion Infantry, and two companies of the 4th Battalion Infantry. With the addition of three new companies organized in Fairfax, Wytheville, and Lynchburg, these thirty-six companies comprised the three regiments which were designated the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Virginia Infantry. Later, another regiment, designated the 6th Virginia Infantry, was created to fulfill the President's additional call for volunteers. The 1st and 2nd Battalions Infantry, consisting of colored soldiers, were mustered into this regiment. In addition, three divisions of naval volunteers were added in 1898 to the preexisting division established by an act of the General Assembly in 1894.
On April 29, 1899, the Adjutant General issued General Order No. 2 which disbanded and declared out of existence the 1st Brigade, the 1st through 4th Regiments Infantry, and the 1st through 4th Battalions Infantry. Only one company of infantry at Smithfield, one troop of cavalry at Surry, and the 1st Battalion Artillery remained in service as Virginia Volunteers. General Order No. 4, however, re-established 14 companies of infantry (unassigned to a regiment) in the Virginia Volunteers. In addition, three divisions of naval volunteers were added in 1898 to the preexisting division established by an act of the General Assembly in 1894 (this battalian disbanded in 1901). Following the war, the reorganization of the Virginia Volunteers continued with the assignment of new numbers to the regiments in order to distinguish those regiments who fought in the Civil and Spanish-American Wars. The 70th and 71st Infantry were the first of the new regiments organized in 1900 followed by the 72nd Infantry in 1905. A law was passed by the General Assembly on January 16, 1908, amending Section 306 of the Code of Virginia. This law stipulated that the organization, armament, and discipline of the Virginia militia or volunteers shall be the same as that of the regular and volunteer armies of the United States. In addition, the infantry regiments were again reorganized to reflect a tighter geographical grouping and were reassigned their pre-1898 designations (i.e. 1st, 2nd, & 4th Regiments). At this time, the first company of the Virginia Coast Artillery was formed to reinforce the regular army units in Hampton Roads. Three additional companies of Coast Artillery were organized by 1910, but the entire Coast Artillery Corps was disbanded in 1911 and not reorganized until 1916.
Following the draft into federal service and mobilization of the Virginia National Guard for Mexican Border Service and later war against Germany in 1917, a need arose to create a new militia force in Virginia. By order of Governor Henry C. Stuart, Adjutant General W.W. Sale issued a form letter authorizing the immediate formation of Home Defense organizations to be known as "Virginia State Volunteers" to serve during "the emergency." Two classes of Home Defense Organizations were created consisting of the Virginia State Volunteers and Virginia Home Guard. Lt. Col. Jo Lane Stern, State Inspector, was assigned the duty of organizing these volunteers. Companies of Virginia Volunteers were raised throughout the state including two battalions of infantry and over twenty individual companies. After the signing of the Armistice, most of these units disbanded or mustered out by 1920, although three companies passed over into the National Guard.
The muster rolls from 1884-1915 record the following information: absent or present, number, rank, name, age at date of enlistment, date of enlistment or re-enlistment, term of enlistment, date of warrant, and remarks (e.g. sick, on furlough, absent without leave).
