Daniel, Drurey M., Private
Company B, 15th North Carolina Infantry
“The Monroe Light Infantry”

Resided in Caswell County and enlisted in Wake County on July 15, 1862, for the war. Present or accounted for until he was “sent to hospital” in August 1862. Never returned to the company and was dropped from the rolls on or about September 1, 1863, because he was “supposed to be dead.”

Born: October 22, 1836 in Caswell Co., NC
Died: June 20, 1915 in NC
Buried: unknown
Married: Frances S. Clayton
Children: unknown
Occupation: unknown

My maternal great-great-grandfather John Allen Helms was born in what is now Monroe, Union County, NC on January 16, 1839. He enlisted on May 3, 1861 in Monroe, NC at age 22. He was a farmer by occupation prior to enlistment. The 15th NC was known as the 5th NC Volunteers at the time he enlisted, but was renamed the 15th NC Regiment 'Monroe Light Infantry' during the Confederate army re-organization in 1862.
John served the duration of the war with the same unit, excluding time to recover from a wound in the left hip that he sustained at the Battle of Sharpsburg, Maryland on Sept. 17, 1862. He was present or accounted for until he was paroled at Lynchburg, VA on April 15, 1865.
In Decmeber 1865, he married Mary Josephine Presley, an ancestor of Elvis Presley. They raised six children, with John acquiring large amounts of land in Union County area. He also operated two restaurants/taverns in Monroe, NC. In 1888, John and his family were one of four founding families of Oak Grove Baptist Church in Union County. John died from sudden heart failure in Union County on April 23, 1923 at the age of 84. He is buried in Oak Grove Baptist Church cemetery, with his wife Mary Josephine, who died in 1909.
John was buried in a plain pine box coffin, and his last ride to the church for the funeral was in the bed of a Ford Model T pickup. The tombstone for John and Mary only shows their names and birth and death dates, no mention of CSA service for John. His family recently erected an iron Southern Cross at his grave site. Family legend is that John vehemently declined to speak about his war experiences after his service ended. He also was alive and living in Union County during the Confederate reunions held there, but did not attend.

Three Lankford brothers (Lovel, Jerome and Walter Y) went to war. Lovel the oldest fought the entire war with the 15th N.C. Infantry Regiment. Jerome the next oldest enlisted with D Company 55th N.C. Infantry upon it formation is May 1862. My Great great grandfather Walter Y. was the youngest of the brothers and joined his brother Jerome in Company D in 1863. Both Jerome and Walter became POWs (captured at different times) both ended up in Point Lookout POW camp in MD. Jerome died there and Walter was released in early 1865.

Daniel Brooks(1837-1933) was a free African-American from Duncans Creek in Cleveland County, NC who felt pressured, along with his brother, Milford, to join the Confederate Army before they were conscripted. They enlisted near Shelby in 1861 along with white friends Daniel and Joseph Lattimore. It is presumed that Daniel was assigned to Company D of the 15th North Carolina Regiment with the Lattimore brothers. Milford was assigned to a different company (15th ?) and was never heard from again. The family assumed Milford died of injury or disease. Daniel's Company was transferred to the NC 49th, becoming the 2nd Company B. He was at the fall of Fort Fisher and mustered out with illness afterwards.

He enlisted in Company E, 15th Infantry Regiment of North Carolina on 15 July 1862.

I can't find any records on where 15th NC Co. E soldiers were buried. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Also looking for information on his wife. They had a child who was later raised by the wife's parents.

I have not been able to find any record of Levi anywhere after his release from the hospital 10 Dec. 1861. Not on census records nor on his fathers will where all the other living children were mentioned hence the assumption of death prior to 1894 as that is the date of his father's will. Perhaps he died trying to get home from Richmond.
