(Above info was by Alice Smith Tucker, "The Heritage of Stokes County, N.C." 1981) (edited) === Info below from Alan Leonard on 12 April 2013: As is pointed out, there is some mistake here with the grave marker. Captain Smith was with Company A, 2nd Battalion North Carolina Infantry, as noted. There was a mistake in the making of the marker since the dates of birth and death are correct. The VA, upon application, will correct this mistake with a new marker. It should read: Capt. Milton J. Smith CO A 2nd NC INF BTTN CSA
