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.

-The North Carolina 2nd Artillery Regiment also know as The 36th Regiment Volunteers also known as "The Cape Fear Regiment" was originally organized in 1861. State Adjutant General reported six companies had been assigned, but no regimental officers were commissioned. The original six companies were 1st Company A, 1st Company B, 1st Company C, 1st Company D, Company E, and Company F. Other companies were added to the regiment during the winter of 1861-1862, while some already assigned were reassigned to other organizations. It was not until May, 1862 that the regiment was officially organized. Its companies were from the counties of Sampson, Cumberland, New Hanover, Columbus, Halifax, Brunswick, and Bladen. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee 26 April 1865. <ref name="nctroops"> [http://www.researchonline.net/nccw/unit17.htm The Civil War in North Carolina 2nd Regiment North Carolina Artillery], (accessed 24 March 2011)</ref><ref name="manarin" />
