I would like to know anything you may have on military units of the Clay/Cherokee counties of western North Carolina.. Some of my ancestors served, in the 39th NC regiment, Others in the Ledford side of my family in Clay county NC inlisted and then deserted some time later... i have found all I can find.. They were David Ledford, his brother Center Ledford.. Dave was killed for either deserting or being of union persuration, and no longer wanting to serve in Confederate forces after being forced into the Confederate army system at that time in western NC.. A lot of the people in this areas were torn in their alligenace to which side to conform to... I have found info on his brother Center Ledford who inslisted at the same time.. and deserted the same as David did.. Center was thought to have reenlisted again but David did not... David was killed for this, but Center Ledford survived the war and raised his family here in Clay county, NC
