Men who enlisted in 17th Virginia Infantry, Co. F

“Prince William Rifles”

at Haymarket March & April, 1861

From: Lee A. Wallace, Jr.,  17th Virginia Infantry

Company F, the Prince William Rifles, was organized at Haymarket, Prince William County, on November 26, 1859, with members from all parts of the county. Many of them were from the “Black Jack,” the section lying between the main line of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad and its branch line leading to Manassas. Dr. George S. Hamilton was elected captain. Frequent drills were held, and in time the company procured Springfield muskets and gray uniforms with dress caps with pompons. In April 1861, the company, numbering about sixty, went on active duty, and by May 14, they were at Manassas Junction. (Wallace pg. 16)
