About Nixontown, N.C. and the 1st N.C. Infantry (Union)

The April 10, 2018, blog entry on the N.C. Timeline for April 6, 1863, showed a skirmish at Nixontown involving the 1st N.C. (Union).

According to Wikipedia, this is also called Nixon's Town or Windmill Point.  It is an unincorporated community in Pasquotank County located in the very northeastern corner of the state near the Virginia line.

It was once a municipality and incorporated originally in 1758.

Named for Zachariah Nixon, it was once the county seat of the county from 1785-1800.  In 1799, the county seat was moved to Elizabeth City.  Prior to the Civil War, it was a flourishing community, but today only 25 families live there.

The Skirmish at Nixontown on April 6, 1863, only involved Company D of the 1st NC (Union)They were also at Rodman's Point skirmish March 30, 1863.  The 1st was authorized by general Burnside in May 1862 and organized in June of that year.  They mustered out June 27, 1865, in New Bern, N.C..
