I seem to have misread your message; I thought the soldier had been in the 8th VA and deserted to an unknown  Union regiment.  My advice is sound if one has a Rebel who deserts to an Yank regiment not designated.  Paul

  The Union regiment known as the 8th VA Regiment of Volunteer Infantry was
  also known as the 8th VA Mounted Infantry. That unit would evolve into the 7th
  WV Cavalry. Information, including roster, was found online at the following
