John Davis enlisted in the 8th Virginia Cavalry September 4, 1862. Couldn't make out the location but it was at some Court House, Virginia.

The copiest of his records handwriting is rather difficult to read, seems at one time his pay was docked for some 60 days having been absent without leave.

He was parolled May 1, 1865 at Charleston, W.V.

His parole document contains his signature and describes him as age 20, 5' 9", dark complexion, eyes and hair.
