The major of the new unit was John W. Moore and Julian Moore, now a captain, commanded the Hertford County company.
They were sent to Virginia without cannons and served with Lee's Army for several months, still without guns. They finally received their cannons. During the winter of 1862-1863, they went back to serve in North Carolina.
However, now they were once again without guns for all but two batteries. They served near Wilmington and finally again were equipped. They then spent the next year near Wilmington.
After the war, he moved to Washington, D.C. and became a guard at the U.S. Treasury.
