This company, known as the "Perquimans Beauregards" was raised in Perquimans County
and enlisted at Hertford. The company was composed initially of both infantry and
cavalry contingents but was soon converted to a standard infantry organization. The
company was mustered in on May 16, 1861; it remained in camp in Perquimans County
until ordered to new Bern on July 3. On July 19 the company departed on board the
steamer Curlew and traveled to New bern via the Perquimans River, Albemarle and
Pamlico Sounds, and the Neuse River.

Upon its arrival the company was assigned to a battalion which later became the 27th
Regiment N. C. Troops and the Perquimans Beauregards became Company F of that unit.
After joining the regiment, the company functioned as a part of the regiment, and its
