Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
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&amp;nbsp;Cumberland County and Harnett County&amp;nbsp;

Company B - many men from&amp;nbsp;Brunswick County, Columbus County&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;New Hanover&amp;nbsp;County

Company C - many men&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;Richmond County, Robeson County&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Bladen County&lt;ref name="brown"&gt;Brown, Matthew M and Coffey, Michael W.North Carolina Troops 1861-1865 A Roster.
