There were changes among the officers and the names of some officers are omitted, but they can not now be recalled by the writer. Colonel Hinton was a prominent lawyer and orator and after the war removed to Norfolk, where he died. Lieuten- ant-Colonel Yellowley was also a prominent lawyer at Green- ville and in early manhood had, under great provocation, killed a man in a duel, an event which was thought to have saddened his whole life. Major Bagley was after the war for many years clerk of our Supreme Court. He married the daughter of Governor Worth and was the father of Worth Bagley, the gallant young officer of the United States Navy who fell at Cardenas in 1898 in the beginning of our war with Spain. Srxty-EicutH REGIMENT. 715 The writer cannot recall the date of his enlistment in what became afterwards Company D, of the Sixty-eighth Regi- ment, North Carolina Troops, but it was at a X roads about five miles from Harrellsville, Hertford County, N. C., bet- ter known as Bethlehem Baptist Church, and where Watson Lewis, Jr., resided and kept a store, and it was in this store house that I signed the muster roll and that Watson Lewis, Jr., witnessed my signature, about thirty-eight years ago, then not being quite 18 years of age. The names of the field and staff officers of the Sixty-eighth and the commissioned officers of the several companies re- corded in Moore’s Roster and above recited are familiar and most of the officers are yet well remembered. Being clerk of the Superior Court of Dare county at the time the Roster was filed in the office and not finding the names of the privates of the several companies of the Sixty- eighth Regiment recorded therein, I felt much surprised and cannot yet understand why a record of the field, staff and com- missioned officers of the companies could be found and no roll of the privates. I therefore deem it proper to mention here the names of as many of my comrades as I can remember of the company to which I belonged, viz. : Company D—First Sergeant, John B. Slaughter; Second Sergeant, John H. Perry; First Corporal, William Downing; Fourth Corporal, John W. Evans; Fifer, Bartimeus Wiggins ; Drummer, Joseph Willoughby. Privates: John Downing, Thomas H. Evans, Judson L. Evans; George W. Perry, Jos. Perry (brothers), John Chambray, Julius J. Hayes, Perry Mitchell, John W. Simons, Richard Baker, Joseph Baker, Wm. H. Eley, John Baker, Sr., Travis J. Taylor, Francis L. Evans, Freeman Evans, Thomas T. Taylor, Dewitt C. Miller, Simeon P. Saunders, Frank Saunders, Kindred Hollomon, William Hays, Henry Mitchell, Henry C. Sharp, Horatio Taylor, Samuel M. Aumack, Joseph Davidson, Z. W. Lassi- ter, George W. Valentine, Henry D. Harrell, Daniel Barnes, all of Hertford county; Richard Rountree, James T. Parish, James Brinkley, of Gates county ; Samuel M. Pearce, Simon Todd, Moses ‘Todd, of Bertie county.
