report of the War Department forwarded by you. You are furnished
herein a record of one John King who served in the North Carolina
Troops but there is no way to determine whether or not it is the
soldier in whom you are interested.

in Captains E. Eaton, Volla Powell, and Joseph Kidd's Company,
Third North Carolina Regiment, length of service three years.
