ADDITIONAL SKETCH SIXTY-EIGHTH
, REQinENT.
By W. T. CAHO, Fourth Sergeant, Company C.
As there seems to be no record of this companj on file in
the Adjutant-General's office, the writer has undertaken to
give a brief history of it. Thirty-six years having elapsed
since the war between the States ended, and the writer being
less than 18 years of age at the close of hostilities, and less
than 16 years of age when he entered the service in this com-pany,
the history of the company will necessarily be brief and
liable to have omitted a good many facts that would be of
value and importance in its history.
IN NETHERCUTT^S BATTALION.
This company was raised or recruited near by and around
Goldsboro, N. C, by Wiliam K. Bass, who had formerly held
a commission as Second Lieutenant in Company I, Thirty-fifth
Eegiment, in the winter of 1862 and 1863. The of-ficers
first commissioned by the State for this company were
:
Captain, W. R. Bass ; Redden C. Barden, First Lieutenant,
formerly Second Lieutenant Company K, Twenty-seventh
North Carolina; Josiah W. Smith, Second Lieutenant, for-merly
a private in Company K, Twenty-seventh North Car-olina
; and Erastus Smith, Junior Second Lieutenant. All of
the officers were from Wayne county, and from the Nahunta
and Saulston sections of the county. The company was first
raised or recruited as a company of Partisan Rangers. Soon
after its formation it was assigned to Major J. H. ISTether-cutt's
Battalion (Eighth) and remained with that command
until the formation of the Sixty-sixth Regiment by the unit-ing
of Moore's and Nethercutt's Battalions, which took place
in the latter part of the summer of 1863.
