Documented military service, wartime civilian roles, POW records, hospital records, pensions, and family evidence from Angela's and Rick's verified family lines. Evidence status is shown plainly; unit history is never treated as proof that an individual was present.
Private, Company D, 28th North Carolina Infantry. Captured at Petersburg on April 2, 1865; held at Point Lookout; swore the Oath of Allegiance June 28, 1865 and was released. Gettysburg: regiment only; Levi's presence not proven.
Company A, 50th North Carolina Infantry. Died in the Wilmington military hospital system of typhoid fever. An effects receipt ties the soldier to his family. Three reported March 1864 death dates remain under review.
Capt. Hockaday's Company, North Carolina Senior Reserves / 8th NC Senior Reserves. Enrolled August 10, 1864; documented at Camp Jackson, Masonboro Sound on December 16, 1864; 1902 pension application on file.
Ordained Presbyterian clergyman living in Dover, Delaware during the Civil War. No military chaplaincy or specific wartime ministry has yet been established, so this profile does not invent one.
Rick's Westmoreland line. No military service promoted without an identity-secure record.
Angela's family. Identity and service records still being separated from same-name men.
Angela's family. Harnett County identity is established; no service record yet accepted.
Angela's family. Civil War-era candidates exist, but none is attached without proof.
Angela's Tutor branch. Identity is established; military service remains unproved at the required standard.
Confirmed requires primary records or multiple strong independent sources. Probable means evidence converges but one identity or service link remains open. Possible is a credible lead. Unconfirmed means evidence is insufficient. Ruled out means the candidate has been shown not to be our person.
Regimental participation in a battle is never converted into a claim that an ancestor personally fought there unless the individual's own chronology supports it.
