I am an American History collector and dealer and currently own an original muster in roll for the NC 55th, Co. C which contains the nearly 100 names including members of the Falls family.
Dickson Falls was the Captain. He was born in Lincoln County, NC and was a 29 year old farmer when he enlisted. he resigned on 11/22/1862.
The most exciting name on the list is thomas Dickson Falls who was also born in Lincoln County, NC. He was a 19 year old clerk when he enlisted as a sergeant. He was wounded at Gettysburg and taken POW and confined at Ft. Delaware and Johnson's Island, OH. He had been promoted to 3rd Lieutenant on 3/12/1863. He is very famous for being one of the three soldiers "farthest at Gettysburg" which was considered the high water mark of the Confederacy.
