MILITARY

The NCGenWeb Project has an outstanding Military Project which has information on all US Military campaigns and the genealogical information pertaining to the North Carolinians that served in those campaigns.  Please see the NCGenWeb Military Project.

Currently, I have information pertaining to Rockingham County soldiers who fought during the revolutionary war listed on this site.  If you have additional information regarding other wars or conflicts, please let me know.
