- Four of the five MILLS soldiers of Company D were among the original volunteers of June 17, 1861. The exception, HENRY HARRISON MILLS, enlisted March 8, 1863, at Hamilton's Crossing, Va., transferring from the 146th Reg't Va. Militia. He was captured at Strasburg, Va., Sept. 23, 1864, after the Battle of Fishers Hill. Imprisoned first at Point Lookout, Md., he was moved to Aiken's Landing, Va., for exchange March 9, 1865, and ten days later was received by the Confederate agent of exchange at Boulware's Wharf, Va. He was paroled at Winchester June 4, 1865.
CHARLES E. and JAMES W. MILLS were sons of Thomas Mills of Rappahannock County, Va. Charles, only 19 when he signed up in June, 1861, was "confined in the Guard Tent of the Regiment" on Oct. 31, and had $11. of his December pay stopped by Court Martial for unexplained reasons. He was wounded in his right arm at Gettysburg July 3, 1863; was captured and admitted July 6th to U.S. General Hospital at Frederick, Md.; sent to Fort Delaware July 9th and transferred Oct. 26th to Point Lookout, Md., where he was released Feb. 1, 1864, "on taking the oath of allegiance and joining the United States Army."
JAMES W. MILLS was "detailed to unload freight at Manassas" in January, 1862, and was "absent on detached service guarding company stores at Manassas" in February, 1862.
ALEXANDER MILLS was captured July 17, 1862, and confined first in a military prison at Wheeling, W. Va., then in the notorious Camp Chase, Ohio, prison where he ended the "durance vile" Feb. 5, 1864, by enlisting in the U.S. Navy.

Being twice married, first to Sarah Frances Willis and, after her death, to Rebecca Shipe, he had thirteen children. He lived, died, and lies buried in "The Cove," a tranquil ravine in the Blue Ridge foothills south of Front Royal. He was a familiar figure as an elderly gentleman with flowing white beard riding to town in his carriage.
