Notes for Charles Hamilton Snoots: Civil War Service: Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers, U.S.A. Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 20 June 1862 in Lovettsville, VA Enlisted in Company A, Loudoun Rangers Regiment Virginia on 20 June 1862 was POW on 27 August 1862 at Waterford, VA (paroled on the spot) was Injured on 13 September 1863 at Gray Farm, VA (horse fell on him) was Wounded on 30 September 1863 at Neersville, Va. (wounded in the neck) Mustered out on 30 May 1865 in Bolivar, WV from "History of the Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers"(USA) by Briscoe Goodhart, Co.A, published by McGill and Wallace, Washington DC, 1896. During fighting at Waterford, Loudoun Co., VA. "Many of White's men and the Rangers had been schoolmates, and in some instances reared around the same fireside; one brother following the Confederate banner with a pitiable and delusive blindness, while the other brother stood firm with his allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. In this fight brothers met. After the Rangers had been paroled Wm. Snoots of White's Command, wanted to shoot his brother Charles who belonged to the Rangers, but was fittingly rebuked by his officers for such an unsoldierly and unbrotherly desire. Charles, who had been deprived of his arms, keenly felt the advantage his brother wanted to take, and modestly suggested to brother Bill that if he would unbuckle his arms and lay them aside, he, Charles, would wipe up the earth with the cowardly cur in less than two minutes."
