John A. Ramsay of Salisbury, N.C., was captain of the Rowan Artillery, later Company D, 10th North Carolina Artillery Regiment, which served with the Army of Northern Virginia throughout the Civil War. The collection is primarily military papers of John A. Ramsay, including official correspondence, muster rolls, ordnance and quartermaster returns, orders, reports, and a variety of other military records, and Ramsay's postwar correspondence about the history of the unit. Also included is antebellum correspondence of Margaret L. Beall, later Mrs. John A. Ramsay, of Salisbury, N.C., from family and friends, mostly in Rowan County, Iredell County, and Davie County, N.C., including letters received while she was student at Edgeworth Female Seminary, Greensboro, N.C. The letters discuss social and family news. Margaret married first Julius D. Ramsay (died 1864), John's cousin. Letters between Julius and John show that Julius managed John's business affairs in Salisbury while the latter was serving in the army, and assisted him in obtaining supplies for his regiment.
