Series I-V are arranged by correspondent, then chronologically. Series VI is arranged chronologically. ","Series I contains the Barton Pierce Smith Letters from March to June of 1863. With one exception (a letter to his father), these letters are written to his brother, Stephen Mitchell Smith. Series II contains the James R. Smith Letters from August 1862 to October 1863. His letters are written to Stephen Mitchell (and in one case Stephen and Mary) Smith. Series III includes the Stephen Mitchell Smith Letters from December 1864 to February 1865 written to his wife. This series also has a photograph of Smith's exemption from earlier in the war, and a pension check he received in 1912. Series IV consists of the William Alexander Smith Letters from July 1861 to April 1864. The letters are mostly to Stephen, but also include correspondence to his father, sisters, and brother, James.","Series V consists of a single letter written by John Nichols Ridgway to R.P.

After Mary's death, he married Emily Lindsey. Since Stephen was the only blacksmith in the region, it seems he was exempt for military service during the early part of the Civil War. When the need for soldiers became pressing, however, he was drafted in late 1864. He served in Company G, 54 th  Regiment, Virginia Infantry. He seems to have deserted and hidden out on family land until the end of the war. He died in 1913.","William Alexander (\"Alex\" in the family letters) was a teacher in Carroll County, Virginia. He enlisted with Company I, 50 th  Regiment, Virginia Infantry, in June 1861, eventually rising to the rank of 2 nd  Lieutenant in May 1862. While on leave in October of 1863, he married Ann Electra Utley (sister of Barton's wife, Mary). They had two children. William was captured May 12, 1864 at Spottsylvania Court House. He was held prisoner at Point Lookout from until June 23 rd , then held at Fort Delaware until June 16, 1865. He returned to Carroll County after the war and resumed teaching.
