Company A, 37th North Carolina Infantry

On August 27, 1861, William A. Stuart enlisted from Ashe County North Carolina as 3rd Lieutenant of Company A, Ashe Beauregard Riflemen, 37th North Carolina Infantry (State Troops). He was 26 years old at the time and had been a resident farmer. At the battle of New Berne, he was wounded slightly in the elbow on May 27, 1862 and returned to duty.

He was taken prisoner at Hanover Court House and sent to Fort Columbus, New York Harbor. He was transferred to Johnson's Island on June 21, 1862.

On December 13, 1862, Lane's Brigade of North Carolinians was on Jackson's right, facing the enemy along the railroad tracks. When Yankee Gen. Meade's attack turned their right flank and drove through to Gen. Maxcy Gregg's position, Lt. Stuart was wounded in the arm and both legs in the heavy fighting which eventually repulsed the Yankee's charge. In truth, it was here that the Battle of Fredericksburg was won. Marye's Heights and the Sunken Road were a testimony to Burnside's folly but the earlier Slaughter farm battle sealed the Yankee's fate.

Lt. Stuart was returned to duty by March 1, 1863. He was promoted to 1st Lt. on March 9, 1863 and served as company commander for a while. He tried desperately to continue in his duties but was so weakened by his wounds and captivity that he was forced to resign for ill health on April 22, 1863. His resignation was accepted on May 2, 1863.
