Notes - James F. Knox was in the Ranalesburg Rifles (N.C. 13th Reg., Co. B,
made up of lower Steele Creek men in the Civil War) and he enlisted at
the age of 18 on 3 April 1861. On May 5th, 1862 he was wounded in the
leg and captured at Williamsburg, VA. He died in a hospital near Fort
Monroe, VA on May 16, 1862 of that wound. Even though he is buried in
Virginia, he has a tombstone at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church
Cemetery. It states he died on May 1st, however, I suspect that
whoever informed the family of the death may have made an error as to
his actual death.
