United States U.S. Military North Carolina North Carolina Military North Carolina in the Civil War 7th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry

Brief History[edit | edit source]

7th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry was organized at Camp Mason, near Graham, North Carolina, in August, 1861. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee on February 26, 1865 with 13 officers and 139 men. A detachment surrendered at Appomattox with 1 officer and 18 men.^[1]

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.

Company A - Iredell and Alexander Counties
Company B - Cabarrus County
Company C- New Hanover County
Company D - Mecklenburg County
Company E - Nash County
Company F - Rowan County
Company G - Wake County
Company H - Cabarrus County
Company I - Iredell County
Company K - Alexander County^[2]

The information about the companies comes from the A Guide to Military Organizations and Installations North Carolina 1861-1865

Other Sources[edit | edit source]

National Park Service, The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System, is searchable by soldier's name and state. It contains basic facts about soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, a list of regiments, descriptions of significant battles, sources of the information, and suggestions for where to find additional information.
