So far, all I can find is that he started off the war as Captain of Artillery, then to train recruits and missed First Manassass. In August, 1861, he joined the 3rd North Carolina Volunteers as Colonel (http://www.angelfire.com/wv/wasec5/pender.html), (

I am trying to find when (or IF) he held the rank of Lt. Colonel, but cannot.....The websites I have cited suggest he was Capt. of Artillery, then Colonel of the 3rd NC....IF he was ever a Lt. Col, I suspect it was when he was in charge of trainng troops, but I have not yet found a biography of him to suggest that such is the case.
Interesting find you have there!! Thanks for sharing and I hope you find out about it!!!
