My research shows that my gr,gr grandfather, Daniel Wade Hurley, was in the NC 2nd Regiment Infantry, Company A. My records also show that he was a drummer and he died on May 3, 1863, which makes me believe he may have been killed at the Battle of Chancellorville. Our family has never known where he was actually buried so they have all been assuming that he died on the battlefield and did not have a marked grave.

Charles Smith was born in 1832 in Peters Creek, Stokes County, NC. He was the 2nd oldest son of John Smith & Elizabeth 'Betty' Brown. Charles enlisted in Company A, 2nd Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 1 Sep 1862 at the age of 30. Regimental records indicate that Charles deserted from his regiment on 12 Oct 1862. Charles likely rejoined an infantry regiment in Alleghany County, but it is possible his religious beliefs (regular Baptist) prevented him from fighting. I would appreciate any additional information about his military records. Charles married Sarah 'Sally' Mabe on 22 August 1851 in Stokes County, NC. He is my 3rd greatgrandfather thru his son Robert Lee Smith (1869-1950) of Alleghany County, NC.

Noah Smith was born in 1847 in Stokes County, NC. He was the youngest son of John Smith & Elizabeth 'Betty' Brown. Noah enlisted in Company A, 2nd NC Infantry Regiment on 1 September 1864 at the age of 17. I am unsure of his military record. Noah Smith married Sallie Ann Mandring after the civil war. Noah is the brother of my 3rd great grandfather, Charles Smith who died in 1888 in Alleghany County, NC.

Peter Smith was born 13 Dec 1828 in Stokes County, NC. He was the son of John Smith & Elizabeth 'Betty' Brown. He died 22 July 1904 in Stokes County, NC. Enlisted as a Private in Co A, 2nd NC Infantry Regiment on 1 September 1862 at the age of 27. I am unsure of his military record, discharge date, etc. Peter Smith married Annie Slaugther some time prior to his Civil War enlistment. Peter is the oldest brother of my 3rd greatgrandfather Charles Smith who died in Alleghany County, NC in 1888.

Born about 1843 in Peters Creek, Stokes County, NC. Enlisted as a Private on 4 May 1861 at the age of 17. Parents were John Smith & Elizabeth 'Betty' Brown.

Color guard. Killed at Chancellorsville. Described in the following manner in the Regimental History of North Carolina troops . . . A short time before the battle of Chancellorsville the color- guard of the regiment was reformed, consisting of a sergeant and a corporal from each company. Kindred Lewis was the sergeant selected. Every member of the regiment looked with pride upon this splendid young soldier and his companions who stood beside him. Tall, erect, in action like the herald Mercury, he bore high the blue saltier on its field of crimson. When the command 'Charge!' was given, he rushed forward to mount the wall of the enemy's defense. In that moment every member of the color-guard was shot, and Lewis, who had leaped upon the wall, fell forward on the outer side, killed instantly. The regiment returned sadly to camp.

Enlisted by Captain Edward Smith in Forsyth County, Ga on October 19, 1861 for 12 months. Captured by the forces of Gen. A.E. Burnside on Roanoke Island February 8, 1862. Paroled Elizabeth City, NC February 21, 1862. Admitted Soldiers Home Hospital, Richmond, Va October 23, 1862 for remittent fever. Returned to service January 31, 1863. Register of Claims of Deceased Officers and Soldiers from NC which were filed for settlement in the office of the Confederate States Auditor for the War Department. Filed October 5, 1863.

'This company was formed of men transferred from Captain Jesse Burtz's Company (Cherokee Georgia Mountaineers) which was divided by S. O. No. 163, A.&I.G.O. dated 26 SEP 1861. It afterward became Company D, 21st Battalion, North Carolina Infantry. Being composed of men from Georgia, it was subsequently transferred to the 21st Regiment, Georgia Infantry by S. O. No. 84, A.&I.G.O. dated 11 APR 1864 and became (New) Company E of that regiment.' John W. SHOEMAKER enrolled on 22 JUL 1861 at Concord, Dawson County, Georgia in Captain Smith's Company, Independent Regiment, Wise Legion. As noted above, this company evolved into Company D, 2nd Battalion, North Carolina Infantry. The entire company was captured at Roanoke Island, North Carolina on 8 FEB 1862. The POWs, including John, were released as paroled prisoners of war at Elizabeth City, North Carolina on 21 FEB 1862. This release on parole predates the Dix-Hill Cartel signed between the two War Departments on 22 JUL 1862, but these men were eventually declared exchanged and returned to duty after several months at home. The 2nd Battalion, North Carolina Infantry was engaged at Gettysburg in July 1863. John W. SHOEMAKER was captured during the retreat at Waterloo, Pennsylvania on 5 JUL 1863. He was sent to Fort McHenry and forwarded to Fort Delaware on 9 JUL 1863 probably arriving the next day. John was transferred from Fort Delaware to Point Lookout on 18 OCT 1863 (his Point Lookout record shows him arriving 15 OCT 63, so one of these records was copied in error). He remained at Point Lookout from October 1863 until 13 FEB 1865 when he was paroled for a 'humanitarian' exchange, and delivered to Confederate authorities at Coxes Landing on the James River near Richmond in the two day period 14/15 FEB 1865. There were 2,051 paroled Confederate POWs delivered from Point Lookout over this two day period. The final record in John's file shows that he was present at Camp Lee (a camp for paroled and exchanged prisoners in Richmond) on 17 FEB 1865. Only 7 officers and 50 men were surrendered in April 1865 and John W. SHOEMAKER was not documented as being one of them. This suggests that he may have been furloughed home or perhaps he just went home on his own initiative. The primary condition for being selected for these 'humanitarian' releases was that a Union army surgeon examine the men and only those deemed 'likely to be unfit for at least 60 days' were selected for delivery. Most of those delivered were examined in the Receiving & Wayside Hospital (G. H. No. 9) at Richmond and distributed to Richmond area hospitals for further treatment as needed. There is no hospital record in John's file, so he may have been deemed fit for duty by Confederate authorities.
