****A note concerning the records of the members of Company I, 37th Virginia Volunteer Infantry. Desertion is defined as being absent from duty for a period exceeding 30 days, of if it is apparent that an individual has no intention of returning to duty regardless of the period of absence. When it is noted that a trooper was AWOL, or listed as a deserter, this does not mean that soldier never returned to his unit. He just may not have been on that very spot when the roll was called. Some soldiers were listed as AWOL or as a deserter when they were actually on detached duty, or with another unit. Confederate soldiers, especially those from the mountains, were an independent minded lot. Sometimes, if they became dissatisfied with their unit, they took it upon themselves to “discharge” themselves from that unit, then go and enlist in another unit., or if they decided to go home for a few days, they felt it was their right as free men to do so. Most always eventually returned to duty. This was a common occurrence in the Confederate Army. One can see the evidence of this by closely examining, and comparing, the records of different units.****

Transcribed here are the Compiled Service Records of the members of Company “I”, 37TH Virginia Infantry. This information has been taken from the Official Records, in the National Archives. Some of these men later served in other units and this has been noted whenever the information has been available.
