Alexander Hamilton McNeill Papers: 1855-1865
Colonel Alexander Hamilton McNeill was Clerk of Court for 32 years, Confederate enlistment officer during the Civil War and tax assessor for Moore County, North Carolina. He was born in Moore County 22 Nov 1831, the son of John McNeill (1806-1850) and Fanny Muse (1814-1900). In 1852 he married Margaret Jane Currie (1833-1888) of Moore County. Col. A. H. McNeill died in Moore County 05 Nov 1906 and was buried in the Carthage Presbyterian Church Cemetery.
His collection of papers acquired during his tenure as Moore County servant is preserved in the North Carolina Archives in Raleigh, NC. Among those papers was found the following roster of the original members of Company H of North Carolina’s 26th Infantry Regiment. “The Moore Independents,” as they were called, was the first volunteer company from Moore County. They left for service in the Confederate States Army 03 June 1861.
Col. McNeill’s roster appears to have been written early in the spring of 1862, prior to the Battle of New Bern on the 14th of March, 1862.
