The Civil War
The Civil War (1861-1865) profoundly changed the people who endured it, including the Winchester family. Many of our ancestors served during the War, which had a lasting impact on the family, with the loss of at least 15 of our Winchester ancestors. Most were young and single. Some were brothers. All except one served in the Confederate Army. Here is a list of the Winchester Civil War Veterans who lost their lives in battle.
