12 Nortu Carona Troops, 1861-65.

Junior Reserves Brigade (which was to be formed) by Pres-
ident Davis, who had been a cadet at West Point with him-
self and a life-long friend. Colonel Armistead was himself
a West Pointer and brother of General Armistead who was
killed at Gettysburg. Their mother was a Stanly, of New
Bern. In deference to General Holmes’ wishes the field
officers resigned and at. the new election F. §. Armistead
was elected Colonel, ©. W. Broadfoot Lieutenant-Colonel,
Walter Clark Major, and N. A. Gregory accepted the vacant
captaincy of Company H. This arrangement was expected
to endure for a very brief period and in order to carry it out
fully, General Holmes delayed the formation of the other
battalions into regiments as long as he could. But the ex-
pected promotion of Colonel Armistead, for some reason, did
not materialize, and the arrangement continued to the end, ex-
cept that on formation of the Second Regiment, Gregory was
elected Major of that. As Colonel Armistead for many
months commanded the post, or the brigade, the regiment was
in the actual command of Lieutenant-Colonel Broadfoot and
in his absence by Major Clark. On the second organization,
the company of Captain W. R. Williams was transferred to
Anderson’s Battalion and that of Captain John A. Manning
was substituted.

The companies as relettered after the second organization
were officered as follows:

Company A—Warren, Franklin and N ash—Captain,
Charles Price, of Warren; First Lieutenant, C. ©. Smith, of
Nash; Second Lieutenants, E. 8. Foster and W. B. Coppedge,
both of Franklin. This company was the only one which
had no change in its officers from its organization in May,
till the surrender a year later. Captain Price is a distin-
guished lawyer, living in Salisbury and has been United
States District Attorney for Western North Carolina ; Lieu-
tenant Foster is a promising physician in Louisburg.

Company B—Granville—Captains, D. 8. Speed, R. L.
Crews, F. R. Gregory; First Lieutenants, A. Thorpe, T. W.
Taylor; Second Lieutenants, F. S. Daniels, W. H. Gregory,
R. H. Andrews, Alex. Turner.
