HYDE COUNTY SOLDIERS
in the
1st and 2nd NORTH CAROLINA
UNION VOLUNTEERS

The 1st NC Infantry Regiment was organized June 27, 1862 and the 2nd NC Infantry Regiment in November, 1863 in New Bern, NC. The reason for local North Carolinians joining and serving in the Union Army were varied, however one was that many were opposed to fighting against the Union that not many years prior their grandfathers had fought to establish.

These two regiments served in the Union garrisons of eastern North Carolina at New Bern, Washington, Beaufort and Plymouth. The 2nd NC Infantry Regiment, which never reached full strength, was merged with the 1st NC on February 27, 1865. Shortly after the end of the war, the 1st NC was mustered out at New Bern on June 27, 1865.

The below alphabetical list of Hyde County Union soldiers in the 1st & 2nd NC Infantry Regiments includes those men from Hatteras Island, which was part of Hyde County from 1823 to 1870, and Ocracoke Island, which has been part of Hyde County since 1845.

Please keep in mind that this research is an ongoing process, and that these are not definitive rosters. There may be veterans whose names do not appear on the lists and some listed may not have been from Hyde County. Anyone knowing the county of residence for any of the above soldiers, please let me know. And if you know of any omission or errors, please contact me. Much research remains to be done. Please contribute any information, family stories, old photos and genealogy you may have, before, during and after the service of these soldiers, including all known sources you have for this information. Thanks for your help.
