Brief History of Regiment:
The 9th North Carolina Regiment was authorized November 27, 1776 and assigned to the Southern Department. The 9th North Carolina Regiment was organized during the Spring and Summer of 1777 at Halifax, NC. It included eight companies from Hillsborough and Salisbury Districts. By the time its ranks were filled and it was ready to march, the regiment was reassigned to the Northern Department. On July 8, 1777, it was assigned to the NC Brigade, an element of the Northern Department - it arrived in September of 1777. On May 29, 1778, Continental Congress ordered the reorganization of all NC regiments due to low numbers in their ranks. The 9th NC Regiment was disbanded effective June 1, 1778.
