Bruce:

Boy did your query get off track in a hurry!

Little info exists for the NC Home Guard which replaced the earlier incarnation simply referred to as the NC Militia. The junior and senior reserve regiments from NC were entirely seperate military organizations from the Home Guard.

You might find the following of help:

"The Last Tarheel Militia The history of the NC Militia & Home Guard in the Civil War and Index to over 1,100 Militia Officers" by Gerald Wilson Cook

"North Carolina Confederate Militia and Home Guard Records Militia Letter Book and Home Guard Orders 1864-1865" abstracted by Dr. Stephen E. Bradley, Jr.

Happy hunting . . .
