Whitsett Men Who Served The Confederacy

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.

Rank was not listed for several men listed.  It is likely that if no rank was given the man was a Private.

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