The 29th Virginia was authorized in November, 1861, and was to contain seven companies under Colonel A.C. Moore and three companies at Pound Gap. However, this organization never took place. Moore's five companies from Abingdon and companies raised in the spring of 1862 evidently made up the nine-company regiment. The 29th was assigned to the Valley District, Department of Northern Virginia, then moved to Kentucky where it was engaged at Middle Creek. Later it saw action in Western Virginia and for a time served in North Carolina under General French. At New Bern, Gen Corse was wounded. The brigade returned to Howlett's Line, between Petersburg and Richmond, where Gen. Corse was wounded for the fourth time. The 29th ended the war at Appomattox, however many of the men including Gen. Corse were captured at Sayler's Creek and their names do not appear on the Appomattox Roster. Companies Company A (Capt. William McJessee's Company) - Russell County Company B (Capt, . William R. B.
