Who are they?
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.
Dear Mr. Long,
The unidentified soldier on your blog site (2nd down) is Corporal Stephen M. Woodard, Company A (the "Albemarle Guards"), 1st Regiment N.C. State Troops. The coat he is wearing is the M1861 state-issued sack coat issued to many of the early war regiments.
Woodard was from Chowan and enlisted 5/18/61. Promoted to corporal in 1863 and captured at Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia, 5/12/64. Confined first at Point Lookout and then Elmira until he was released from the latter place on 6/12/65.
I am trying to find the owner of the Woodard image to gain permission to use it in volume 2 of my book, State Troops and Volunteers, published by the N.C. Office of Archives and History. If you can help me with that, I would be most obliged.
Cordially
Greg Mast
Help comes from strange places
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.)

Getting close to sorting out the 7th NC Volunteers original letter designations
Posted by Bruce Long on March 25, 2012 at 10:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I decided to search the Compiled Service Records for references to the 7th Regiment NC Volunteers to confirm the letter designations I had previously found in Fort Warren reports and autographs signed while at Fort Warren. (Autograph books became a fad among the officers while imprisoned there.)
The original line-up was apparently:
Co. A - Washington Grays
Co. B - Independent Grays*
Co. C - Hyde County Rifles (I can't prove this one yet.)
Co. D - Roanoke…
