ROGER MOORE of Wilmington, the last commander of the Third NC Cavalry, was born near Wilmington, July 19, 1838 and was in business in that city as a merchant at the beginning of the great war. He was a member of the Wilmington Light Infantry, having enlisted with that command, served in the 18th Reg., to which it was assigned, until 1861 when he resigned. In the spring of 1862 he entered again as a member of the company known as Lawrence's Partisan Rangers, subsequently assigned to W.C. CLAIRBORNE'S Battalion, 4th NC, or 77th Confederate Cavalry Reg.
