Grief C. Chumney enlisted as a private in Co. E of the 9th VA Cavalry on June 7, 1861. From September 15, 1862 until his parole at Burkesville, VA in April 1865, he was detached to the Signal Corps.
He received a Confederate disability pension in 1900 claiming near complete disability due to "stomach troubles and from varicose veins caused by long marches which disables me from labor." Chumney is listed as a lodger or boarder with different families in Lunenberg County in the 1900 and 1910 censuses.
