This company, known as the "Catawba Rifles" was raised in Catawba County and enlisted at Newton on April 27, 1861. It tendered its service to the state and was ordered to Garysburg [N.C.] where it was assigned to this Regiment. The company was mustered in as Captain John Ray's Company and was designated Company K and Company G before it was designated Company A. After it was mustered into the regiment the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its history for the war period is recorded as a part of the regimental history.

The information contained was compiled principally from company muster rolls, Roll of Honor records, hospital records, prisoner of war records and other primary records, supplemented state pension applications, United Daughters of the Confederacy records and postwar rosters and histories, all provided useful information.
