Company A, 3rd Regiment, North Carolina Cavalry (aka Rebel Rangers) (aka Newkirk’s Coast Guard Cavalry). He was my 3rd Great Uncle.

He was KIA - 27 May 1864. My third great uncle.

Christopher Columbus Justice, my great grandfather enlisted in Onslow County December 28, 1862, about a year later than his two brothers, Francis Marion justice, and Parham Justice. Christopher was the youngest son and his brothers and father wanted him to wait before joining because they thought that the war might be over by Christmas. All three brothers survived the war. Parham was captured near Kings Crossing, VA and confined @ Point Lookout, MD, release June 28, 1865.

My GGG Grandfather was John Jeremiah Yopp if anyone has any information on him or a picture it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time!😊

Dear Sir: Sgt. Yopp is my maternal ggrandfather. Any info you could give me will be appreciated and I will be pleased to share mine as well. Also how are you related to Sgt. J.J.? Jim Poteet

This is a distant relative of mine. Company D was known as the 'Highland Rangers', probably due to their Highland Scottish ancestry.

There is a Web Site for the 3rd North Carolina Cavalry, and by E-Mailing Me, I will send you an Invitation to come view detailed Unit History, Lists, Photos of Areas of Engagements, and Contributions from Members. The site grows frequently by contributions of members, and over a period of time our purpose is to collect as much information about the members of the Third NC as possible. As of Mar 2009, there are over 400 Photos and Hundreds of Discussions about different engagements and actions of the 3rd NC Cavalry on the site. Send me the e-mail, and I will get you on.
