3rd National Flag of the ConfederacyCompany C was organized May 4, 1864 and disbanded on June 25, 1864 at Brownsburg in Rockbridge County.
This unit was reorganized August 1, partly mounted, and was then known as the Shenandoah Reserves. Company C was led by Captain B.K. Moore.

3rd National Flag of the ConfederacyCompany D was organized April 30, 1864, partly mounted, and was led by Captain J.M. Bushong. This company was also known as the Shenandoah Reserves.

Captain William W. Nelson, enlistment officer for Virginia's 10th Congressional District, was located at New Market, Shenandoah County in May 1864.
He mustered most of the members of this battalion into service.
Company C was at Staunton on August 1, 1864. The company marched to Camp Lee, in Richmond on August 15, and to Manchester, south of the capital on the 23rd.
Company C moved to Belle Isle Prison on September 14, 1864 and to the South Anna Bridge three days later. 
The company marched back to Manchester on September 23 and to Chaffin's Farm on the James River October 14, 1864.
Some time during the fall of 1864, the justices of Shenandoah County petitioned the War Department and President Davis to allow the reserves from Shenandoah
and Page counties to return home. The purpose was to defend their homes from General Sheridan's "malignant incendiarism."*
