Duplin County was the seventeenth county established in North Carolina and chartered by the General Assembly in 1749. Thus it was one of the older counties and played an important role in the beginning of this country and our fight for freedom. Includes short histories and troop rosters for Confederate soldiers (The Duplin Rifles, Company C, 2nd Regiment N.C. Volunteers and Company E, 20th N.C. Regiment, Confederate Greys). A detailed, well-written county history whose only flaw is the lack of an index.
