A LITTLE HISTORY ON SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
Established in 1721 from Essex, King and Queen and King William Counties, the county was named  for Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood.  During the Civil War, many battles were fought in this County, including Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Courthouse and The Wilderness.  During the Battle of Chancellorsville, Stonewall Jackson was shot and mortally wounded in Spotsylvania County.  Confederate Soldiers from North Carolina, mistook Stonewall Jackson for a Federal Patrol and shot him in the arm.  While his arm was amputated, he did not recover and died from pneumonia a few days later.
