In the above compiled service records Newton is listed as a musician and his place of enlistment as Nash County, North Carolina in the year 1864. James D. is listed as a private and the year of his enlistment as 1863. His place of enlistment is listed as Nash County, North Carolina on 4 cards in his file, and as Granville County, North Carolina on 2 cards in his file. I am not sure why 2 places of enlistment are given.
Were your ancestors from Nash County, North Carolina? Could the above compiled service records belong to them?
