Unit: Co. I, 66^th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry (State Troops)

-- This Company was formerly Co. F, 8^th Battalion North Carolina Partisan Rangers. The 66^th Regiment North Carolina Infantry (State Troops) was formed by the consolidation of the 8^th Battalion North Carolina Partisan Rangers and the 13^th Battalion North Carolina Infantry in accordance with S. O. No. 234, A & I. G. O., dated October 2, 1863. Company D, 8^th Battalion North Carolina Partisan Rangers, which was assigned to the regiment as Company L, apparently never served as such but subsequently became Captain W. R. Bass' Unattached Company, North Carolina Infantry.

Note: It's undetermined if Hosea Marshburn ever served in the 8^th Battalion NC Partisan Rangers or 13^th Battalion NC Infantry. However, p. 53 of "NC Militia Records", on file in the New Hanover County Library, reveal that a Hosea Marshburn held the rank of 1^st Lieutenant, and was assigned to the 21^st NC Militia, 5^th Brigade, lower southwest district of Onslow County.
