Company H of the 49th North Carolina Infantry Regiment of the Confederate States of America Army was known as the Gaston Rangers. The company was formed in Gaston County, N.C., and, on 21 April 1862, became part of the 49th Regiment. It was led by Captain Charles Q. Petty, 22 March 1862-5 August 1864. The collection consists of a roll book, 1862-1864, of Company H of the 49th North Carolina Infantry Regiment of the Confederate States of America Army, recorded by Captain Charles Q. Petty during the Civil War. The book lists the names of the soldiers in the company, including dates when individual soldiers were wounded, taken prisoner, or died. Records also show soldiers' furloughs, desertions, and enlistments. A few pages contain account transactions for clothing, food, and other supplies. The names of First Lieutenant Wallace A. Rankin, Sergeant Wade D. Rankin, and First Sergeant Ephraim L. Rankin are recorded frequently in these financial transactions.
