Found this lecture on YT, it's very interesting. At the 1:10:28 mark the Lecturer talks about a home guard in the Shenedoah valley, and another in Choctaw county Mississippi.

Does anyone have any info on said home guards? Please chime in if so.

I'm aware of Malinda Blalock of western NC disguising herself and going off to war with her husband. Sisters, Mary and Molly Bell of Pulaski County in s.w.Virginia. There was also a woman soldier in Giltner's Kentucky Cavalry (Confederate) that achieved the rank of Sergeant. She was reportedly captured after the Battle of Kingsport (my hometown) in east Tennessee. Some sources say, at Bristol.
