Levi Miller (Virginia) → Levi Miller (Virginia soldier) – State-only disambiguators are generally disfavored (because, in this case for example, the subject is not an example of "a Virginia"), but I bring this here because I am unsure whether "soldier" is the best disambiguator, given the controversy over whether the subject was actually officially enrolled as a soldier (though it seems undisputed that he acted as a soldier). I think this is the best option, but am open to alternatives. BD2412 T 06:21, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination and would also support any other reasonable qualifier, such as Levi Miller (combatant), Levi Miller (preacher) or Levi Miller (farmer). Since his place in history is based upon his Civil War participation, rather than his preaching or farming, a longer qualifier might indicate Levi Miller (American Civil War participant) or Levi Miller (Confederate slave combatant). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:57, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
