From Baltimore to Shenandoah, that's 122 miles as the crow flies. Since they're not flying, it's likely to be even more miles based on terrain and any detours they need to make. Hiking-wise, 20 miles per day is a fairly fast pace, especially when considering an army of several hundred. Also, 20 miles per day assumes they're all soldiers trained for distance hiking – children, injured, civilians, those who've lacked exercise after spending 6 years locked up in a bunker, etc. would slow down the pace. So 6-7 days may actually be an underestimate.
