COMPANY C
   This company, known as the "North Carolina Guards," was formed in Lenoir County in April, 1861. On April 28, 1861, the company was ordered to Fort Macon, but it was not received into service and returned home. It was then ordered to New Bern, where it was mustered into service on June 6, 1861; it was later assigned to the 27th Regiment as Company C.
     The information contained in the following company roster was compiled principally from company muster rolls for June 6, 1861-June, 1862; September-October, 1862; and September, 1864-February, 1865. No company muster rolls were found for July-August, 1862; November 1862-August, 1864; or for the period after February, 1865. Valuable information was obtained also from primary records such as the Roll of Honor, medical records, prisoner of war records, discharge certificates, and pension applications, and from secondary scurces such as postwar roster and histories, cemetery records, and records of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
