General Robert E. Lee himself had to sign an "amnesty oath" in Rockbridge Co., VA, where he had moved after the war to become president of Washington College. I have a copy, and one of my family members named Charles A. Davidson (who also fought for the Confederacy....as did several of his brothers) was the notary public who co-signed that document.
