Company I, 37th Regiment This company, known as the "Mecklenburg Rifles," was raised in Mecklenburg County and was enlisted at Charlotte on October 22, 1861. It was mustered into state service on November 20, 1861, and was assigned to the 37 Regiment N.C. Troops as Company I. The company functioned thereafter as part of the 37th Regiment, and its history for the remainder of the war is reported as part of the regimental history. The information contained in the following roster was compiled principally from a company muster-in roll dated November 20, 1861, and from company muster rolls dated January-April, 1852; June 30, 1862-February 28, 1863; and July, 1863-February, 1865. No company muster rolls were found for November 20-December 31, 1862; May 1-June 29, 1862; March-June, 1863; and March-April, 1865. Valuable information was obtained from primary sources such as the North Carolina adjutant general's Roll of Honor, discharge certificates, medical records, prisoner of war records, pension applications, and Civil War histories, cemetery records, and records for the United Daughter of the Confederacy also provided useful information.
