Wright William Bryan was from Onslow County, NC. He enlisted in the Duplin Rifles, which became Company H of the 43rd NC Regiment. He fought in all of the battles that the 43rd was involved in, up to, and including the 3-day battle at Gettysburg. On July 3rd, the third day of battle, Wright received a bullet wound through his left thigh, as he and his fellow soldiers attempted to take Culp’s Hill from the Union occupiers. Luckily, the bullet did not strike bone, which would have most likely resulted in an amputation. As Lee’s men withdrew from the battlefield following the battle, Wright was placed in an ambulance for transport. Seventeen days later, he was admitted to a hospital in Richmond, VA. After spending several weeks at two different hospitals in Richmond, Wright rejoined his regiment. Wright continued to serve with his regiment until he was captured near Sutherland Station, VA, a few days prior to Lee’s April 9th surrender at Appomattox. Wright was held as a Prisoner of War in City Point, VA until June of 1865. After Wright signed an Oath of Allegiance to the United States, he was allowed to return to his family in Eastern North Carolina.

William was born 25 Aug 1840 in the Burnsville Township, Anson Co. NC. he enlisted in Co K 43rd Regiment NC Infantry on 15 May 1862 another source gives date of 25 Feb 1862. I suspect 15 May was date of muster at camp Davis. All of his CMR's have him present for duty. The CMR for Sept /Oct 1864 has his home on wounded furlough. His family history states he suffered a gun shot wound to the chest. No date of injury and the numerous battles at the time gives no clue as to the action he was wounded in. He was involved in many major battles including Gettysburg. The 43rd was assigned at different times to General Junius Daniels, Robert F Hoke, & Bryan Grime's Brigade. He was the Father in Law of my 4th cousin 3 x removed Sophronia Ellen Beachum. They are buried in Hopewell Methodist Ch. Peachland, Anson Co. NC

He mustered at Camp Davis 15 May 1862. Feb 1863 he is given extra duty as Teamster for the Brigade. Dec 1863 he is assigned as an Ambulance driver for the brigade. 25 July 1864 he is wounded by gun fire and sent on wounded furlough. He is returned to duty 22 Aug 1864. Given the date of wound he was probably in the fight at Snickers Gap aka Cool Springs. Assigned to Generals, Junius Daniels, Robert F Hoke & Brian Grimes Brigade. He saw action at Seven days Battle, Gettysburg, Plymouth, Drewry's Bluff, Malvern Hill and was in the last fight around the Appomattox Court House. Note CMR makes reference to duty in the 53rd NC Inf. Regiment.. I have not looked into that area. We are related by a distant marriage.
