Dear Tracee, This is just a tid-bit of information that may or may not tie to your research. There was a WILLIAM M. WILHELM in the 8th NC Regiment (Co. K). He was a 2nd Lt.; enlisted July 5, 1861 at age 33; promoted to 1st Lt October 15, 1862. This information comes from Jethro Rumple's "History of Rowan County" Appendix and roll of honor. The note at the end states: "This entire Company K with its Regiment was captured on Roanoke Island, NC, Feb 8th, 1861; retained as prisoners for two weeks and paroled; exchanged and reorganized at Raleigh, NC , Sept, 1862; assigned to Clingman's Brigade, where it remained until its surrender with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's Army, at Greensboro, NC April 26, 1865." I am not researching Wilhelms but simply stumbled into the name in researching my own WILLIAM M (Morgan?) WILSON (1821-1864), who is listed just below the Wilhelm name. I do not have the book now, and do not know how to assess its accuracy. I know that my William M. Wilson died in Salisbury (shown in Rumble, who does not give the 1864 date of death that I got from court papers). My William M. Wilson was 1st Sgt in Co. K, enlisted July 5, 1861 at age 32. If this is my fellow, Rumple does not have his age correct, or the 1850 Rowan census is incorrect. I do know that Rumple is incomplete, as are most rosters in NC Regiments from the Civil War.
