Re: What Happened To Co. N of the 64th NC, CSA?

Hamton Magill [sic] enlisted as a Private in Captain John F. Fitzgerald's Company, 64th Regiment North Carolina Infantry (State Troops)* September 27, 1862 at Greenville by Lt. Murrell for 3 years, recorded present October 31, 1862, no further records [Note: This was the one and only muster roll in the files for this company]

* This company was also known as Company N, 64th Regiment North Carolina Infantry (State Troops).

The 11th Battalion North Carolina Infantry was organized under authority of the Secretary of War date May 10, 1862, and designated the 64th Regiment North Carolina Infantry (State Troops). It was also known as Allen's Regiment, North Carolina Infantry.

Captain Fitzgerald's file is quite confusing. He signed a forage requisition for 35 horses at Greenville, Tenn. which listed him commanding a company in Col. Carters Tennessee Volunteers for the period 28-30 November 1862

On January 26, 1863 at Knoxville, Tenn., he signed a requisition for 13 bridles, 13 saddles for his North Carolina regiment of 70 men, approved by Col. L. Allen**

In March 1863 he signed a number of vochers for various stores at Knoxville, no unit designation stated

64th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry (Allen's)

64th Infantry Regiment, organized during the summer of 1862, was anticipated to be a legion containing thirteen companies, of infantry and three of cavalry. However, the command was reduced to ten companies and designated the 64th Regiment. Its members were from the counties of Madison, Henderson, and Polk. The unit served in North Carolina and Tennessee, then in July, 1863, was attached to General Gracie's Brigade and stationed at Cumberland Gap. Here most of the regiment was captured in September, but some did escape. The records show that 288 men of the 64th were prisoners at Camp Douglas. Continuing the fight with about 100 effectives, the unit served under Generals Breckinridge, Vaughn, and Williams in East Tennessee, then became part of Colonel J.B. Palmer's Brigade at Asheville in March, 1865. Later it disbanded near the French Broad River. Its commanders were Colonel Lawrence M. Allen, Lieutenant Colonels William N. Garrett and J.A. Keith, and Major Thomas P. Jones.
