(17)  Robt. B. Woolard (1800's) - A member of the 1st North Carolina 
Infantry Regiment (Union). Two regiments of volunteers from eastern 
North Carolina joined the Union Army. After many of these North 
Carolinians were captured by Confederate forces, it was discovered that 
22 of them had previously served in the Confederate Army. The 22 were 
hanged by the Confederates as deserters. This had a profound impact on 
the morale of other members of the two union regiments. Most of them 
spent the rest of the War in the relative security of Beaufort and Fort 
Macon.
