Civil War in NE North Carolina
Burnside's Expedition and beyond
The Museum of the Albemarle is trying to identify the two Confederate soldiers in the photos below. If you recognize them, contact me at rblong@rblong.net .
The one below has been identified as Corp. Stephen N. Woodard, Co. A, 1st NC.
Chris M. Perry from Hobbsville has been very helpful with grave photos and information. I got an unexpected assist from my sister, of all people! (She has no interest in the Civil War but is very interested in geneology.)

The new Civil War exhibit at the Museum of the Albemarle is set to open to the public on February 11th. Friends of the Museum members have been invited to the gala opening during the evening of February 10th. A big turnout will definitely help the museum in their struggle for funding following all the big cuts during the past year.

I've just about finished the entries for the Jonesboro Guards and NC Defenders, independent companies from Camden County that were involved in the battle at Hatteras Inlet. Most of them were captured on 29 August 1861. I've collected everything from the Compiled Service Records and from the diaries of Alonzo Bell and Thomas Sparrow. Now I'm doing the slow drudge work: trying to find ages and occupations at the time of enlistment.
If you would like a copy of the listings, let me know…

L, 17th Regiment NC Troops (1st Organization), have notations in their Compiled Service Records that they served in Capt. W. A. Duke's Home Defense Company following their mustering out of the 17th on 4 March 1863. What was Duke doing after the Jonesboro Guards disbanded on 2 April 1862? There is no record of his joining any…

Local tradition has it that the Nosay House was used as a hospital during or after the battle of South Mills. Some people even say three Union soldiers are buried under the front steps. How likely is it that these stories are true?
The Nosay House was definitely standing during the battle in 1862, but it looked quite different. The large rear section of the house didn't exist at that time. The front porch with the columns was added later as well.
Were Union soldiers buried…
