ete ee ee Index Owing to the length of the Cape Fear roster, the names are not all in- dexed individually elsewhere, but are covered by the entry Cape Fear Camp, U. C. V. Captains of Wilmington military companies will be found grouped on page 273, and Wilmington business and professional men of 1850 on pages 198-200. Both are entered in the index under Wilmington, and not all names in either group are entered individually. Sketches of ministers, if any, will, in most cases, be found under Churches, of teachers under Schools, and of editors under Newspapers, but ministers, teachers, and editors are all indexed individually, and remarks on, if of sufficient length or importance, are mentioned under the indi- vidual entry. Where the entries contain descriptive matter, if there are page numbers following the last semicolon and not separated from it by description, the word “mentioned” should be understood, as these numbers refer to pages on which the subject is merely mentioned, though often in interesting connection.
