Excerpt from Annual Report of the Adjutant General of the State of North Carolina: For the Year 1890 The North Carolina State Guard consisted at the close of the last year of twenty-eight companies of Infantry (white), one troop of Cavalry (white), and one company of Infantry (colored), numbering in the aggregate (including officers of the General Staff and Brigade and Regimental staffs) 1,505 officers and men. During the year two new companies have been mustered into the service - namely, Company F, Second Regiment, and Company F, Third Regiment - and one company, which was formerly Company A, Second Regiment, has been allowed to withdraw from the State Guard and resume its former status as an independent company, under a charter granted in 1819; thus making, at present time, twenty-nine companies of Infantry (white), one troop of Cavalry (white) and one company of Infantry (colored), with an aggregate of 1,478, including all officers and men. The regimental organizations of the Guard are the same as they were at the date of my last report, except that Major B. B. Goins, commanding First Battalion (colored), having tendered his resignation as Major of the battalion, it was accepted and the battalion formation disbanded.
