Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/367 Surname: Wilcox ------------------------- My great grandfather, Daniel C. Wilcox, born ca. 1830, was from Elk Park (Mitchell County until it became Avery in 1911). He was a Private in Company A, McRae's Battalion, North Carolina Cavalry and captured in Cooke County, Tennessee, 14 January 1864, and confined at Rock Island, Illinois, where he remained until transferred for exchange 15 February 1865. (See Louis H. Manarin's NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS 1861-1865: A ROSTER, including Volume 3, page 224.) How I wish I could give you additional information for your book.
