J.C. Belcher-"He served in VA under Gen. JEB Stuart", d. 1904 Bossier Parish, LA

I hope some knowlegable person on this list can help me.

I was at Rocky Mount Presbyterian Church Cemetery, near Plain Dealing, Bossier Parsh (county), Louisiana last week and I saw a tombstone for J. C. BELCHER, b. 20 Sept 1842 in Abbeville, SC, d. 28 May 1904 in LA (I presume in Bossier Parish, LA). His tombstone has "He served in VA under Gen. JEB Stuart" on it. I can't find a J. C. Belcher in the "Booth's Records of LA Confederate Soldiers" book, so I don't think he served from LA.

I would like to confirm that Mr. Belcher did indeed serve under Gen. Stuart--where can I go to find this information? Is SC a good place to start? What units were in VA under Gen. Stuart, or is that too broad a question to answer. Any suggestions or replies would be appreciated.
Debra
