28th North Carolina Infantry

This is my second Great Grandfather. He was in the 28th Regiment of the NC Infantry. He became a POW on March 14 1862. I am seeking info on the battle he would have been captured in.

I have sketchy information that makes me believe William W.M. Hall, from Haywood County, NC, served in the 28th North Carolina, and if anyone can shed light on this, it would be appreciated.

Killed Aug. 25, 1864 at Reams'' Station, VA.

Present at Appomattox 9 Apr. 1865

Info entered by 'NC Troops 1861-1865,A Roster' compiled by Weymouth T.Jordan,Jr. regarding his death 'at home' was inaccurate. Records compiled & kept by Stanly County,N.C. veterans and widows pension application reveal that he was killed at Gettysburg, Pa. on 3 July 1863

Family records show Riley Mauldin fighting with the 28th throughout the entire war. Confirmed by Mr. Don Ernsberger that he was a particapent in the Pettigew - Trimble charge at Gettysburg. He was wounded in the face and captured at Gettysburg.

Wilson Cooper Morris was my 2nd Great Maternal Grandfather. He joined the 28th NC, Company D ("Stanly Yankee Hunters") in 1862. He was wounded in the foot at Gettysburg, and was captured on July 5th during the retreat. He was paroled in 1864 from Gordonsville, VA due to "heart trouble" and returned to Stanly County. He died in 1907 in Salisbury, NC. His grandson John Alfred Morris (my grandfather) was in the 115th machine gun battalion of the 30th Division (Old Hickory Division) during WW1. He served during the battle of the Hindenburg line. Born in 1896, he died in 1999 at the age of 103, and was the last WW1 veteran of Stanly County.

I have some sketchy information that James enlisted in 1864, which I don't understand as he would have been about 37 years of age. Why would he have not enlisted in 1861? I am looking for all ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.
