Default First land battle
How about Fairfax Courthouse, VA, June 1 1861 (Union 1 Killed, 4 Wounded, Confederates 1 Killed 14 Wounded)

I believe it was strictly Cavalry. Too small to count as a battle?

Default First recognized land. battle.
Philippi Races
West Virginia
American Civil War

With research, I have learned that the other two answers are good answers. I think the other two are listed as skirmishes.
