Hello Donna, While I don't have any specific information on your Thomas L. Mims, here are a couple of links to information about the 47th North Carolina. From what I saw, Company H was organized in Wake County, NC. Recruits could have been from any neighboring counties as well. http://members.aol.com/jweaver303/nc/47nct.htm http://www.researchonline.net/nccw/unit129.htm A great source for information on North Carolina soldiers is the multi-volume set "North Carolina Troops 1861-1865 - A Roster", compiled by Louis H. Manarin and Weymouth Jordan. It has rosters for all North Carolina units, and a brief sketch about many soldiers. I imagine most major libraries would have it. The link below describes the work. I've spent many hours pouring over the volumes looking for my Carroll ancestors. http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hp/nc_rostr/default.htm Good Luck in your search.
