Looking for information on the 4th NC, Co. C unit known as the Saltillo Boys and 4th NC Co. A unit known as the Iredell Blues. Thank you, Selena Goodin srg@conninc.com
Selena, Company A was organized in Iredell County and enlisted at Statesville on April 20, 1861, for twelve months service as Captain A.K. Simonton's Company, 52nd Regiment N.C. Volunteer Militia. The company was ordered to Fort Caswell where on May 29, 1861, it changed its enlistment period and enlisted for the war. Early in June, 1861, the company was moved to Camp Anderson and from there to Camp Hill, near Garysburg, Northampton County. There it was assigned to this regiment as Company A. After joining the regiment the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its history is reported as a part of the regimental history. Company C was organized in Iredell County and enlisted at Statesville on June 7, 1861. It tendered its service to the state and was ordered to Camp Hill, near Garysburg, Northampton County, where it was assigned to this regiment as Company C and mustered in on July 2, 1861. After joining the regiment the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its history is reported as a part of the regimental history. If you live in North Carolina, check your local library for the volumes of books titled "North Carolina Troops 1861-1865: A Roster." You can find information on both companies, including rosters with detailed information on each man in Volume IV, Infantry. Should you not live in North Carolina or have access to these books, please let me know. I'll be glad to make copies of the rosters of each company for you. If you would like for me to get you this information, please feel free to email me privately. I'll be glad to be of help.
