During the War Between the States, close to 2,000 men served in the ranks of the 9th Virginia Infantry. Most of these men were farmers, while others made their living from the sea as watermen. On June 1, 1862 the 9th Virginia joined the ranks of Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Armistead's Brigade, of Maj. Gen. Benjamin Huger's Division. The 9th Virginia fought in Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg Where they took part in Picketts charge. Five Forks was the end for the men of the 9th Virginia. The men did all they could, but the superior forces and firepower of the Federal Army was too much. They battled until they were completely surrounded and only a handful of men were able to escape . The rest of the unit surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9th at Appomattox .
