Re: 27th North Carolina Infantry Co. B.

My ancestor, Charles Campbell, was supposedly killed at Mechanicsville. His name Charles A. Campbell was taken from the family Bible. I can not always find his name in the muster lists or mentioned in the 27th and difficult to find anything on Co. B. He was from Wake County. Three of his brother's also served in the Civil War.
From Chapter XVI Reminescences of the Guilford ______(unable to read)

Lieutenant Chas A. Campbell was mortally wounded and was carried to the rear, where he died the next day. Campbell was on of the original panel, serving as private until April 1862, corporal until August when he was promoted to sergent. He was sounded at the battle of Sharpsburg. On his return to his command, November 1st he was appointed Orderly Sergeant, serving as such until the ll of December when he was promoted to Jr. 2nd Lientenant. With the exception of a short furlough from Camp at Orange Court House, he was always at his post, ready and cheerful at all times, to perform his duties. Soon after he was shot down, he was carried to the field hospital where he died and was buried the following day. As he passed me on his litter he stretched out his almost pulseless arm and remarked, "goodbye, Catptain, If I don't come back, tell them I fell fighting at the front." God's peace be with him in his rest. Lone dweller in the stranger's land.

My question is: I believe his death occurred at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Can anyone give me a text or a reference which may have all the musters for N. C. 27th under Brig. Gen. John R. Cook.

I am trying to verify that this Charles A. Campbell was ancestor.
Thanks
