Researcher seeking information for new NC regimental history on the 20th NC Infantry. I am currently researching and writing my third book which will be a regimental history with complete roster of the 20th NC Infantry. I am nearing completion of the roster, but there is still time to add info. The regiment’s companies were formed in Brunswick, Columbus, Cabarrus, Duplin, Sampson, and surrounding counties (including Robeson, Wayne, and Johnston). I would like to include photos, military, biographical and genealogical data (including parent's names, soldier's pre-war and post-war occupation(s), marriage info, and burial location) for every soldier. Also of particular interest are newspaper articles, and letters and diaries from the soldiers. I will pay copy/postage costs for any new information and give credit in the book's acknowledgments section. Please note that I already have the information from each soldier’s CSR, Clark's NC Regiments and the NC Troops series. Thanks for your help.
