Brief History[edit | edit source]

"Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. contains no history for this unit.^[1]

The 33rd Regiment, North Carolina Troops completed its organization at the old fair grounds at Raleigh, North Carolina in September of 1861. The soldiers were recruited in the counties of Iredell, Edgecombe, Cabarrus, Wilkes, Gates, Hyde, Cumberland, Forsyth, and Greene. On April 9, 1865, the regiment surrendered 11 officers and 108 men at Appomattox.^[2]

[edit | edit source]

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 County
Company B - Edgecombe County
Company C - Cabarrus County
Company D - Wilkes County
Co mpany E - Gates County
Company F - Hyde County
Company G - Cumberland County
Company H - Hyde County
Company I - Forsyth County
Company K - Greene County^[3]

The information about the companies comes from 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.
