SEVENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT.

(SEVENTH RESERVES. )

By JOHN G. ALBRIGHT, First Lieutenant Company A,

This regiment was organized at Greensboro in July, 1864,
by the temporary appointment of Chas. E. Shober, Colonel ;
J. A. Barrett, Lieutenant-Colonel; J. 0. Dobbin, Major.

These last two were disabled officers on light duty and were
released in November when their successors were selected.

From Lieutenant Albright’s sketch and from General
Holmes’ order book also, it appears that their successors were
elected at Camp Davis, on Masonboro Sound, in November,
when Lieutenant-Colonel Barrett and Major Dobbin were
ordered to other duties; upon the regiment being sent south.

In Moore’s Roster, Vol. 4, p. 345-358, where it is errone-
ously given as the Seventy-third, we find the muster rolls of
seven companies, the names of whose officers were given below,
and on pages 333-335 we find the muster roll of what is given
there as Company A, Seventy-third Regiment, but which we
know from Lieutenant Albright’s narrative, printed in “Our
Living and Our Dead,’ October, 1874, pp. 134-137, was
Company A, of this regiment. The roster of officers, if those

given in Moore’s Roster (amended by adding Company A) is
correct is as follows:

Company A—Alamance—Captain, W. §, Bradshaw ;

First Lieutenant, Jno. G. Albright; Second Lieutenants, Al-
fred Sharp and James Gilliam.
ized 13 June, 1864.

Company B—Guilford—Captain, Jacob Boon; First
Lieutenant, George Kirkman; Second Lieutenants, T. M.
Woodburn and John Soots. This company was organized
18 June, 1864.

Company C—Guilford—Captain, W. B. Johnston; First
Lieutenant, W. R. Pearson ; Second Lieutenants, John Blay-
