Brief History[edit | edit source]

3rd Regiment, North Carolina Junior Reserves was formed in January,1865, by consolidating the 4th, 7th, and 8th Junior Reserve Battalions. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee.[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 - many men from Guilford County

Company B - many men from Alamance County and Gorsyth County

Company C - many men from Stokes County and Person County

Company D - many men from Brunswick County, Columbus County and New Hanover County

Company E - many men from Catawba County

Company F - many men from Iredell County

Company G - many men from Burke County and Caldwell County

Company H - many men from Cumberland County and Harnett County
