Col. Collett Leventhorpe-- Part 1: Former British Army Captain

I was interested in finding out some more information on the 11th NC's Colonel Leventhorpe.

I found this in the July 27, 2013, Civil War Talk.

Colonel Leventhorpe was a former British Army captain in the 18th Regiment of Foot where he served for ten years. He moved to South Carolina and, while on vacation in North Carolina, met a girl and later got married, moving to her native Rutherford County, NC.

This is how he came to reside in North Carolina.
