Listed on 8/26/64 clothing receipt. Pres. on all rolls thru 2/65. Paroled on 5/1/65. This unit was organized in Richmond County, North Carolina on April 26, 1862.

The order that affected this organization was Special Orders No. 112, Adjutant and Inspector General''s Office, dated May 15, 1862. The company was reassigned as Company A, 13th Battalion North Carolina Light Artillery by Special Orders. No. 66, Executive Department, North Carolina Adjutant General''s Office, dated November 4, 1863. Cap- tain Lewis H. Webb led this battery during its entire history.''
