research this text from W. T. Price's Sketches of Pocahontas County: A Legacy of Military Service: A continuous thread of military participation runs through the genealogies. Families sent sons to the Revolution (McCarty, Webb), the War of 1812 (seven McCarty sons, Joseph Moore, John Brown), the Mexican War (Daniel Moore), and the Civil War, where most of the profiled families served the Confederacy.1 This pattern underscores a culture where martial duty was a defining component of citizenship and masculine identity.
