In Nansemond county some of these men could have served in North Carolina, Isle of Wight, Southampton, and Norfolk County Regiments. Some of the men listed with serious wounds and contagious diseases and died at home. Other records of transfer were destroyed during the war. Thieves over the last 20 years have stolen the CSA markers and the trianges of cannon balls on the grave sights. Modern developers have bulldozed graves to make way for new housing developments. The Suffolk - Nansemond Historical Society feels that if a record is not kept now the names and sites will be lost forever. 24th Virginia Cavalry Those (known) from Nansemond Co.: W.H. Lester - Co.
