Can someone with access to NC Civil War references/records, please check for units that were raised in & around Caswell County? I believe the 6th NC Infantry is one such group. Am specifically looking for information on soldiers Lorenzo Jordan Wilson, Robert T. Wilson & David Wilson. Thank you in advance for any information. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

The organization of the 6th is found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/company.htm The companies were as follows: 6th Reg. Co. A NC State Troops Mecklenburg 6th Reg. Co. B NC State Troops Orange 6th Reg. Co. C NC State Troops Orange 6th Reg. Co. D NC State Troops Burke 6th Reg. Co. E NC State Troops Burke/McDowell/Mitchell/Yancey 6th Reg. Co. F NC State Troops Alamance 6th Reg. Co. G NC State Troops Rowan 6th Reg. Co. H NC State Troops Caswell 6th Reg. Co. I NC State Troops Wake/Chatham 6th Reg. Co. K NC State Troops Alamance Unfortunately, Co. H had as the only Wilson, F.G., Private from Wake County. Perhaps it may have been another regiment. Please do a search on the above page. Derick S.

Mike, Here's some information I hope might be of help. There were a number of David Wilson's from North Carolina so it'll take some time going through them. I also found some other Wilson's from Caswell County in the same company as L.J. Wilson. -------------------------------------------------------- North Carolina Troops 1861-1865: A Roster Volume II Cavalry Page 283 Co. B, 59th Regiment N.C.T. (4th Regt N.C.
