North Carolina Militia and Home Guard Records

   I have wanted to identify the men who served in the North Carolina Militia and Home Guard during the Civil War. The materials offer insight to the "home front" in North Carolina during the war. References to North Carolina Troops confirm and add to the service records of our ancestors and relatives. A valuable tool in locating the in-state service of our ancestors.

   One of the few books relating to the North Carolina militia during the Civil War. This roster contains all the officers, listed by regiments and counties, who were appointed to the North Carolina Militia. Included are all comments made about each man.

Home Guard Examinations

   Little has been done on the North Carolina Home Guard during the Civil War. Now we have the names, ages and physical conditions of about 3,700 men, many of whom were called to Home Guard duty in 1864.

   Taken from an overlooked resource - a surgeon's handwritten copy of examina- tions found in the Duke University Manuscript Collection. All information included.
