    51st Infantry Regiment was organized at Wilmington, North Carolina, in April, 1862, with men recruited in the counties of Cumberland, Sampson, Duplin, Columbus, Robeson, and New Hanover. It was assigned to General Clingman's Brigade and served under him for the duration of the war. After fighting at Goldsboro, it moved to the Charleston area and was prominent in the defense of Battery Wagner. The 51st was then ordered to Virginia, participated in the battles at Drewry's Bluff and Cold Harbor, and endured the hardships of the Petersburg siege south and north of the James River. Returning to North Carolina, it saw action at Bentonville. On July 18, 1863, this regiment lost 16 killed and 52 wounded at Battery Wagner and in August contained 374 effectives. In May, 1864, it contained 1,100 men, and in October there were 145 present. During that time the 51st lost in killed and wounded 160 at Drewry's Bluff, 194 at Cold Harbor, and 104 at Fort Harrison. Very few surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. The field officers were Colonels John L. Cantwell and Hector McKethan, Lieutenant Colonels William A. Allen and Caleb B. Hobson, and Major James R. McDonald.

    Notes:

    I am still trying to connect to the correct McInnis family for Ann McInnis, 1st wife of my ancestor Mark Branch Wilkes. I suspect I am looking for a connection in the area of Robeson or Cumberland County, North Carolina, but I don't yet have a primary document to prove this theory. Mark Branch Wilkes' brother, Elias Wilkes (Also one of my ancestors), married Sarah Hughes - daughter of Duncan Hughes and Mary Morrison. Mary Morrison was the daughter of Norman and Christian Morrison of Robeson County, NC. Norman Morrison's will was probated in May 1829. The gravestone of Norman Morrison's son John states that he was born on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and that is the only clue to the origins of this Morrison family that I currently have. These Wilkes, Morrison, and Hughes families all lived in the northwest corner of Robeson County. McInnis is also a name seen often in this same area. Members of the Wilkes family and Hughes family migrated to Montgomery County, GA before 1840. SOURCE: Mary Raye Kiser Casper 26 Jan 2006

    Duncan married Mary Morrison about 1790 in Robeson, North Carolina, USA. Mary (daughter of Norman Morrison and Christian Gillis) was born in 1779 in Scotland; died in Dec 1849 in Montgomery, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
