I found his file by the tip you gave re Railroad Guard.

What is available in the Compiled Service Records for Lt Col James C. Land are found in the records for Capt. Townsend's Co. (State Troops) and Capt. Wallace's Co. (Wilmington Railroad Guard), National Archives Microform M270, Roll 580.

In his file are six cards, two cards indicating that there are no files for the 93 NC Militia. Four of the cards in his file relate to two pay vouchers with his signature as Lt. Col. 93 NC Militia. One is a for the commutation of rations for one conscript for a period of three days dated June 17, 1863. The other is for "Expenses for the delivery of 24 negros from Wilkes County to the Port of Salisbury , , , ,? " $24 dated November 21, 1863.

There is nothing therein of a personal nature.
