Fort Fisher Sword a Humphrey Family Heirloom-- Part 1

From the January 7, 2018, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Civil War sword a Humphrey family heirloom" by Justin Pope.

According to Bill Humphrey, a Union soldier got a Confederate sword during the fighting at Fort Fisher.  After its fall, Union soldiers came into New Hanover County.  His ancestors had a farm near present-day Market Street and Military Cutoff Road in Wilmington.

A fight ensued and the Union soldier dropped the sword and a Humphrey retained it.

The only identification on it are the letters "CS."
