Edgecombe County NC The Sparta Band Company F 30th Regiment File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by JWebb65865@aol.com Jo Webb NORTH CAROLINA TROOP "THE SPARTA BAND" EDGECOMBE COUNTY COMPANY F This company, known as the "Sparta Band," was raided in Edgecombe County and enlisted at Sparta on Saturday, August 31, 1861. It was then assigned to the 30th regiment NC Troops and designated Company F. After joining the regiment the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its history for the war period is reported as a part of the regimental history. The information contained in the following roster of the company was compiled principally from a company muster in and descriptive roll dated October 8, 1861, and from company muster rolls for September 1861-April 1862, November-December 1862, May-August 1863, and November 1863-August 1864. No Company muster rolls were found for May-October 1862, January-April 1863, September-October 1863, or for the period after August 1864. Valuable information was obtained from primary records such as the Roll of Honor, discharge certificates, medical records, prisoner of war records, and pension applications. Secondary sources such as postwar rosters and histories, cemetery records, and records of the United Daughters of the Confederacy also provided useful information.
