It's fun to study. My gg grandfather wasn't from NC, but moved here for a period before the war as a merchant. He was wounded and released in 64, sabre to the leg that cut tendons. Luckily he went back to the old home place and kept many records of his life and time in the war.
His uncle, was a known figure in SC, large plantation, but Sherman burnt it all to the ground.
My g grandfather on my mothers side I wish I knew more about. All I know is he was hung in W. Va, considered as a raider according to my grandmother, who died at 101 years of age....guess 12 years ago. They were mountain people, few records, cept oral tradition.
