A Joshua VanDyke enlisted in the Confederate Army at Camp Holmes, nearRaleigh, North Carolina, October 19, 1864. He is listed as a parole ofthe Army of Northern Virginia. His surrender was at Appomattox CourtHouse, Virginia, April 9, 1865. He served with Company F of theThirtyfourth (34th) North Carolina Regiment. Others from Rutherford andCleveland Counties that served in the 34th are Doctor N. Hamrick, WilliamBrooks, Samuel Bridges, David A. Bowen, Jr., Amos Hamrick, Adam Whinaut,Jesse R. Lattimore, and James Lattimore. Since the information that Ihave is very limited, I do not know if this Joshua is my GreatGreatGrandfather, but since the other men listed above are from the samegeneral area, I believe that this is my Joshua. On June 13, 1996, I found the following deed at the Rutherford Countycourthouse in Rutherfordton, North Carolina: "Registered Sept 14 1896 This indenture made and entered into this the2nd day of December 1893 between J.
