Troops, Vol. XIII, page 609, 'Born in Bladen County and resided in Cumberland County where he was by occupation a farmer prior to enlisting in Cumberland County at age 27, May 5, 1862 for the war. Reported present through October 1862. Reported sick in the hospital at Wilson from November 3, 1862 through February 28, 1863. Returned to duty in March and April 1863. Sent to hospital at Petersburg, VA on May 30, 1863. Returned to duty in January 1864. Wounded in the hand near Petersburg on June 17, 1864 and hospitalized at Petersburg. Furloughed from hospital at Richmond, Va. on August 27, 1864. Returned to duty prior to January 1, 1865. Surrendered at Appomattox Court House, VA on April 9, 1865.' The 56th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in July, 1862, at Camp Magnum, near Raleigh, North Carolina. Its members were recruited in the counties of Camden, Cumberland, Pasquotank, Northampton, Orange, Cleveland, Alexander, Rutherford, and Mechlenburg. It fought at Gum Swamp, Plymouth, and Drewry's Bluff, endured the hardships of the Petersburg trenches south of the James River, and saw action around Appomattox. The regiment had 149 men captured at Gum Swamp, lost 4 killed and 84 wounded at Plymouth, and reported 90 casualties at Ware Bottom Church. Many were disabled at Sayler's Creek, and only 9 officers and 62 men surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House.
