William joined the 6th N.C. Volunteers (later to become the 16th N.C. Infantry) in Burnsville, NC along with his brother James in May 1861. He was present and accounted for until captured by Union forces at the second battle of Manassas August 29, 1862. He was declared exchanged at Aikens Landing, VA just eight days later on September 7, 1862. Upon return to his Regiment, he was promoted to Sergeant. He was promoted to First Sergeant in June 1863 and was present and accounted for until wounded and captured at Falling Waters, MD July 14, 1863 in retreat from the battle of Gettysburg. After being Imprisoned at Point Lookout, MD for over ten months, he was declared exchanged at City Point, VA March 6, 1864. He was declared 'absent sick' through October 1864 and like many young men who survived Gettysburg returned home to N.C. to serve with their local militia. They laid down their arms and surrendered following Lee's surrender at Appomattox April 1865.
