As late as February of 1861, a statewide ballot calling for a convention on secession had been defeated by a relatively small margin of votes. In Davie County, however, some 754 people voted against the convention, with only 263 in favor. Yet despite the initial opposition, an enormous number of Davie County men signed up to fight. Out of a population of 6,000, more than 1,200 men served in the Confederate forces, three-fourths of them volunteers. This book seeks to identify every man who either served in a Davie County company or who left Davie County to enlist in another county and to provide as much information as possible concerning each man's military and genealogical history.

Acknowledgments Doris Frye was the librarian of the Martin-Wall History Room of the Davie County Library for thirty years and she was “good at her craft.” One day she observed me trying to research whether or not I had any Civil War era ancestors from Davidson County. She strolled over to my table, handed me a green book with white letters which read: The Civil War Roster of Davidson County, by Christopher M. Watford, and said “Here!
