32nd Regiment, North Carolina Infantry (Lenoir Braves)
32nd Infantry Regiment was organized at Drewry's Bluff, Virginia, in April, 1862, using the 1st North Carolina Infantry Battalion as its nucleus. Its companies were raised in the counties of Tyrrell, Nash, Camden, Northampton, Catawba, Bertie, Chatham, and Franklin. The unit was stationed near Petersburg and Drewry's Bluff during the fall of 1862, then returned to North Carolina. Here it served in and around Kinston until May, 1863, when it moved back to Virginia. Assigned to General Daniel's and Grimes' Brigade it fought in various conflicts from Gettysburg to Cold Harbor, saw action in the Shenandoah Valley with Early, and ended the war at Appomattox. This regiment lost thirty-five percent of the 454 engaged at Gettysburg and sustained 3 casualties at Bristoe and 3 at Mine Run. It surrendered with 4 officers and 110 men on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels Edmund C. Brabble, David G. Cowand, and Henry C. Lewis, and Lieutenant Colonel William T. Williams.
