Death Of Lt. John L. Haughton
The Standard of Raleigh, Sept. 24, 1862

   DIED, on the 17th inst., at the residence of his father, LAWRENCE J. 
HAUGHTON, at the Gulf, Chatham County, of typhoid fever, 1st LIEUTENANT JOHN 
LAWRENCE HAUGHTON, aged 21 years and four months.
   While a member of the senior class at Chapel Hill University, in April, 
1861, he enlisted as a private in the Orange Guards, and went with that 
compant to Fort Macon.
   In May, 1862, his health gave way and he was most reluctantly forced to 
resign his commission. He returned home to Chatham and after his health became 
partially restored organized a company of Partisan Rangers, of which he was 
elected 1st Lieutenant. The fatigue incident to this, prostrated him, and 
when his company left he was compelled to remain at home."  

Additional Comments:
Note: The text, American Civil War Regiments gives the date of death as 18, 
September, 1861. The above date is likely to be the correct one since it was 
probably submitted by a relative.
