This is a rooster of Whitsett men who served the Confederacy and the units they served.

The following is taken fron THE ROSTER OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS 1861-1865, Vol. XVI, Jane B. Hewett, Broadfoot Publishing Co., Wilmington, NC (1996) and Civil War Compiled Military Service Records, United States National Archives, Washington, D.C. Other sources have also been used. You should not considered this a complete listing of men who served the Confederacy.  General Jo Shelby and other officers destroyed their records at the end of the war in fear of retribution against the men who fought with them. It seems that all of the records of former guerrillas were destroyed probably because of the federal policy of treating guerrillas as outlaws and not soldiers. Historians have disputed the claims by many of the former guerrillas because of the lack of proof of their service. I believe this is an injustice to these men; whether they were considered heroes or outlaws, they served under the authority of the Confederate States of America.

I will gladly add or correct any names of Confederate soldiers with any variation of the Whitsett name if you will send the information to me at ronwall42@gmail.com Please include as much supporting source information as possible.  See also Whitsett Union Civil War Veterans.

This list includes variations of the names Whitsett and Whitsitt. There are several examples of different forms of the name being used for the same individual - especially "Whitsett" and "Whitsitt."
