Pleasant Pickett's CSA Service:
Company C, 8th Battalion NC Partisan Rangers
66th Regiment, NC Infantry Company D
"The 8th Battalion Partisan Rangers was formed during the spring of 1863 using Nethercutt's Company of Partisan Rangers as its nucleus.
The unit contained four companies and served in the New Bern-Kinston area of North Carolina until October, when it merged into the 66th North Carolina Regiment.
The Sixty-Sixth Regiment of North Carolina Troops was organized at Winston, N. C., in August, 1863, by General James G. Martin, at that time commanding the District of North Carolina, by combining the Eighth Battalion of Partisan Rangers, consisting of six companies.
They had done faithful and gallant service in the eastern part of the State as an independent command under Major J. E. Nethercutt, and which had for more than a year been of great service to the army in that portion of North Carolina, doing scouting and outpost service, almost every man in the battalion being from that section of the State and perfectly familiar with the character of the country and the positions occupied by the enemy, and the Fourth Battalion of four companies which had been doing service as bridge guards and, also, doing scouting service under the command of Major Clement G. Wright, of Cumberland county."
