Greenville, N.C. in the Civil War-- Part 2: Confederate Service
From the North Carolina Civil War Monuments.
Greenville has a Confederate Soldiers Monument at the Pitt County Courthouse at 100 W. Third Street. It was dedicated November 13, 1914.
How long certain people will allow it to remain is to be seen.
The Genealogy Site.
Men from Pitt County served in the 8th N.C. Infantry, 17th NC (Co. C) and 2nd Regiment, N.C. junior reserves (Co. H)
There was also a Battle at Tranter's Creek fought nearby on June 5, 1862 with about 40 casualties on both sides.
