Shiffletts and the Civil War: 33rd and 52nd Virginia Regular Infantry
Information submitted by Kim Morris
With the exception of Pemberton and Edward Shifflett, all of the following men are listed in both the 52nd and 33rd VA Infantry. Pemberton is listed as serving only in the 33rd. Also, Samuel B. is reported as being paroled from the 33rd on 5-22-65, and enlisting on 5-22-65 in the 52nd. I do not know if this information is correct, or an error.
