Battle Flag of the NC 55th, Captured at the Battle of Weldon Railroad , August 19, 1864 The North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment took part in one of the most daring attacks in the history of warfare. Seventeen of my relatives served in Company K of this Regiment. Each of these men were from Granville County, North Carolina. Most of them were farmers before the war. Early in the war, several of these farmers were reported absent on "wheat furlough". Wheat furlough is being allowed to return home for the harvest. In the early part of the war, farmers were allowed to go home to take care of their crops as long as they promised to return to their regiment once all was taken care of at home. In late1862, this practice had ceased. With the exception of James C. Currin and Richard Allen Daniel, each of these men were wounded in battle at least once. Most of these men were captured as prisoners of war for a time. Several were wounded and captured during their participation in Pickett's/Pettigrew's Charge on July 3, 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg. The North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment was organized at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, North Carolina in May of 1862. Its companies were recruited from the counties of Pitt, Wilson, Wilkes, Cleveland, Burke, Catawba, Johnston, Alexander, Onslow, Franklin, and Granville. The men from Granville County made up Company K. The unit served in the Department of North Carolina, then moved to Virginia where it was assigned to General J.R. Davis' Brigade. While attached to Davis' Brigade, the unit would participate in the Nation's bloodiest battle, Gettysburg. The regiment lost thirty-one percent of the 640 soldiers engaged at Gettysburg. Davis Brigade marker at Gettysburg Pickett's Charge by Edwin Forbes On the 3rd of July, 1863, both Confederate and Federal forces had experienced stalemates and successes during previous two days at the Battle of Gettysburg. On the final day of fighting, Confederate General Robert E. Lee thought he had an offensive plan of attack that could cripple the Army of the Potomac under Union Major General George G. Meade. Lee's plan was for Confederate Artillery forces to bombard and soften up the Union Artillery positions that were supported by the 2nd Corps commanded by General Winfield Scott Hancock. The artillery duel lasted for nearly 2 hours and is credited as being the longest artillery duel in the Civil War. My 2nd Great Grandfather, George Patterson Vaden's Artillery Regiment, the Richmond Fayette Artillery attached to the Virginia 38th, supported Pickett's/Pettigrew's Charge from their rear position. Once Lee thought the Federal Artillery position had been softened up, he ordered approximately 12,500 men in nine infantry brigades, one being the North Carolina 55th, to advance over open fields for three-quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Lee had instructed General James Longstreet's Corps to carry out the attack. General Longstreet was opposed to the plan from its onset. He claims to have told Lee: General, I have been a soldier all my life. I have been with soldiers engaged in fights by couples, by squads, companies, regiments, divisions, and armies, and should know, as well as any one, what soldiers can do. It is my opinion that no fifteen thousand men ever arrayed for battle can take that position. Despite his opposition, Longstreet carried out his commanding officer's command. The men started marching toward the Union positions. It became clear soon enough that the Union Artillery positions had not been softened up, but were merely silenced to appear that way. Shot and shell poured into the marching Confederates. Once they were within about 200 yards of the Union position at the stone wall, the Union guns started peppering the advancing Confederates with canister shot. Wave after wave of Confederates were mowed down, still they continued the advance toward the stone wall. Once they were within about 100 yards, the Federals began to fire deadly volleys of musket fire into the Confederate ranks. Many Union soldiers shouted "Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg" at the advancing Confederates in reference to the failed Union charge on the Rebel position during the Battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862, which was eerily similar to the failed charge led by Pickett and Pettigrew. Map showing Pickett's/Pettigrew's Charge (NC 55th in the rear-middle behind Davis) The 55th brigade commander Brigadier General Joseph R. Davis said: "When we approached the stone wall, we were subjected to a most galling fire of musketry and artillery, that so reduced the already thinned ranks...in the assault upon the enemy's position, the coolness and courage of officers and men are worthy of high commendation" Although most of the Confederates failed to make it to the stone wall several members of the 55th made it to the wall and beyond, thus giving birth to the accreditation "Farthest at Gettysburg." NC 55th Flag. Captured at Gettysburg The infantry assault lasted about an hour. The casualties were staggering. Union forces suffered about 1,500 wounded or killed. Pickett's division suffered 2,655 casualties (498 killed, 643 wounded, 833 wounded and captured, and 681 captured, unwounded). Pettigrew's losses were estimated to be about 2,700 (470 killed, 1,893 wounded, 337 captured). Couple those with the losses of the other Confederate Forces and the Confederate casualty total numbered 6,555, of which at least 1,123 Confederates were killed on the battlefield, 4,019 were wounded, and a good number of the injured were also captured. One of the men killed in action was my 1st cousin 5x removed, Thomas H. Currin. Jeremiah Hamilton Currin, Louis Chesley Daniel, Thomas Brown Daniel, Rhodes Herndon Frazier and Marion Hamilton Hester were all wounded on July 3, 1863 while participating in Pickett's/Pettigrew's Charge at Gettysburg. All but Jeremiah Hamilton Currin and Richard Allen Daniel were captured. The North Carolina Monument at Gettysburg The statue represents a wounded officer pointing the way forward to the enemy while a veteran and younger comrade lead a color bearer in the charge. The statue was sculpted by Gutzon Borglum of Mt. Rushmore fame, using photographs of Confederate veterans as models. Orren Smith of North Carolina, the model for the color bearer, was the designer of the Confederate national flag. It was dedicated on July 3, 1929. An interesting side note, Orren Randolph Smith is the ancestor of my good friends Hoot and Tyson Stahl. First National Flag of the Confederacy, designed by Orren Randolph Smith Below are brief biographies of all fifteen of my ancestors that served in the North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment, all serving in Company K. Private Alexander Adcock Alexander Adcock was born in Granville County, North Carolina in 1836. He is my 3rd cousin 4x removed. Alexander enlisted as a Private in Company K, North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment on March 1, 1862 at the age of 26. Alex only served with the Regiment for five short months. He unfortunately died from disease while in camp at Goldsboro, North Carolina on August 15, 1862. He was 26 years old at the time of his death. He was buried alongside several other Confederate soldiers in the Willow Dale Cemetery in Goldsboro. Confederate Memorial in Willow Dale Cemetery Tablet on Confederate Memorial James Wesley "Jim" Adcock was born in Granville County, North Carolina on September 20, 1833. He was the oldest brother of Alexander and Henry Clay Adcock. Jim was also my 3rd cousin 4x removed. James Wesley "Jim" Adcock Jim enlisted as a Private in Company K, North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment in Granville County, North Carolina on May 6, 1862 at the age of 28. Prior to the war, Jim was listed as being a farmer. 1st Muster Roll for Jim Jim was wounded in the thigh and hip and captured at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. Following his capture he was sent to Fort Delaware Prison, where he would remain until he was paroled on July 30, 1862. POW Roll for Jim showing his parole Following his parole, Jim was sent to recover at a Confederate Hospital near Petersburg, Virginia. Jim survived the Civil War and returned home to Granville County, where he resumed farming. He lived an additional 59 years following the end of the Civil War. He is buried in the Adcock family cemetery in Oak Hill, Granville County, North Carolina. Adcock Cemetery, Granville County The youngest Adcock brother was Henry Clay Adcock. He was born in Granville County, North Carolina in 1845. Henry Clay Adcock Henry enlisted as a Private in Company K, North Carolina 55th Infantry Regiment on March 1, 1861 at the age of 17. 1st Muster Roll for Henry Henry was listed as present and accounted for through April of 1865. He was paroled on April 9, 1865 with Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House. Parole for Henry Following the end of the Civil War, Henry returned home to Granville County, North Carolina. On January 16, 1866 he married Lizzy Ann Vaughn. The couple would have 4 children between the years of 1874 - 1884. On July 1, 1888, Lizzy Ann Vaughn died unexpectedly. The apparent cause of death was poisoning. On August 2, 1888, Henry Clay Adcock and Jane Adcock (wife of John Wesley Adcock) were arrested for the murder. Newspaper articles claimed that Henry was obsessed with his sister-in-law Jane and had had several fights with his brother Jim regarding the subject and also their father's will (Henry was named executor and Jim didn't like it.) The articles claimed that Henry had killed his wife so that he could finally be with his sister-in-law. The couple was initially held in the Oxford jail in Granville County, but they were moved to the Wake County jail for their protection from threats of lynching. The trial took place in Vance County. The case against Jane was dismissed for lack of evidence, however Henry was found guilty and sentenced to the asylum at Dorothea Dix Mental Hospital. Henry's descendants refute the murder charge and offer another explanation. According to great granddaughter Mary, "I doubt if Henry would have poisoned the mother of his children. Considering what they had to work with for refrigeration in those days, she probably drank spoiled buttermilk." According to records from Dorothea Dix, Henry was admitted for "melancholia" on February 25, 1889. The duration of this illness was several months prior to his admittance. He escaped from Dorothea Dix on April 16, 1890 and was never seen nor heard of ever again.
