Abbreviation question

[caller]

Looking through John G. Morrison's journal, I came across the entry below from 1865 when he was enlisted in the cavalry. In it, he states he was at Jordan's Springs in VA, which was a "favorite pleasure resort of the F.F.I.'s". He does seem to be a man with a dry Irish sarcastic wit (something I can honestly say I inherited). Does anyone know what F.F.I. stands for? Google, on quick glance, is not able to answer me.

March 6th, Monday. On picket today. Stationed at
"Jordan's Springs," a favorite pleasure resort of the
F.F.I.'s [?] before this war, but now very much
delapidated. Drank of the waters several times. Mighty
unpleasant to both smell and taste.

I expect it would be FFVs, First Families of Virginia.

Of course. That would make the most sense. It's transcriptions like this that make me realize I really need to get to D.C. to see the original. Thanks for your help.
