Captain

John W. May was born on January 29, 1816, in Rockingham County, North Carolina. Trained as a physician, he was practicing medicine when the Civil War erupted in 1861. In April of 1862, he entered Confederate service after helping to raise a company of volunteers in Rockingham County. He was assigned as Captain of Company A in the 45th North Carolina Infantry Regiment Captain May served during the Peninsula Campaign and participated in the Seven Days Battles in the summer of 1862, including the brutal assault at the Battle of Malvern Hill. These engagements marked General Robert E. Lee’s first major offensive operations in defense of Richmond and were among the most intense early campaigns of the war. May resigned his commission on September 2, 1862, after seeing active combat during the Confederacy’s formative campaigns in Virginia. He returned to civilian life in North Carolina and lived there until his death in October 1897. Though his wartime service was relatively brief, he served as an officer during some of the Army of Northern Virginia’s earliest and hardest-fought battles.

Lafayette Osborne: Private, Company F (Dan River Rangers) 45th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry. Wounded and captured at the Battle of Gettysburg on 3 and 4 July 1863. He died of disease on 27 Sep 1863 while a POW at Ft. Delaware, DE. Buried in a mass grave at Finns Point National Cemetery, Pennsville, Salem County, New Jersey, USA ***** Given the three-year commitment upon his enlistment in March 1863, it's possible that Lafayette Osborne was conscripted under the provisions of the Conscription Act of 1862. The three-year commitment aligns with the term of service mandated by the conscription acts for those who were drafted into the Confederate military. Additionally, the timing of his enlistment in 1863, during a period of increasing conscription and manpower shortages for the Confederate army, further supports the possibility that he was conscripted into service.
