Read More	Duncan Cameron Haywood was born 1840 in Raleigh, Wake County, NC the 4th of 9 known surviving children (3 boys/6 girls) born to the Hon. William Henry Haywood III and his wife, Jane Graham. He was the paternal grandson of William Henry Haywood II & Ann Sheppard of Raleigh; and gr-grandson of William Henry Haywood I & Charity Hare of Edgecombe Co, NC. He was the maternal grandson of Edward Graham of New Bern, Craven Co, NC. Duncan was just 12 when his father died, and about age 20 when the Civil War broke out. Duncan joined the NC 7th Volunteers with both his brothers Edward and William IV, where he rose to rank of Lieutenant (although some records, and his gravestone, indicate rank of Captain). Duncan was struck down in the Battle of Cold Harbor, near Richmond, on June 27, 1862. He was just 22 years old. Reports stated he was the fourth person shot down with the colors of the Seventh Regiment, these colors showing thirty-two bullet-holes when finally rescued. The following notice appeared in the North Carolina Standard in June of 1862: "The body of Lt. Duncan Cameron Haywood who fell in battle near Richmond on Friday was brought to this city and interred on Monday morning last. He was a son of the late Hon. William H. Haywood and held the position of first lieutenant in the 7th State Troops. He fought gloriously in the battle of Newbern as we have no doubt he did on the field where he met his death. It is reported he was carrying the flag of the regiment when he was struck down and that his colonel, the lamented Campbell, seized the flag after he fell and that he also received his death wound while bearing it towards the foe. Lt. Haywood has been cut off in the flush of manhood, but he has fallen nobly in the path of duty and in a righteous cause. 'After life's fitful fever he sleeps well'." Duncan's younger brother, William IV, would be killed 2 years later at the Battle of the Wilderness where he died May 5, 1864. Eldest brother, Edward Graham Haywood, would be the only brother to survive, returning to Raleigh following the war.
