From the Regimental History, if you so desire to add,
William Croop, de-serted at Plymouth, stopping with a farmer about three miles up the Roanoke river, above Plymouth; the latter tried to get rid of him, for if either Federals or Confederates found him on the premises, his position with either would be compromised, so he was forced to report Croop to the Federal authorities. First Sergeant McCoy took a file of men and brought him into camp ; he was court-martialed and sentenced to the Dry Tortugas for the remainder of his term. It was only by the strenuous exertion of Lieut. Jack Laughlin of Co. A that he was not sentenced to be shot; Maj. Gazzam, who was president of the board that tried him, urged that an example should be made of him. He was still at Plymouth when the Confederate attack was made ; a pardon was offered him if he would join the Co. at the breastworks, but he was obstinate and refused, and remained in the Plymouth jail until the place was captured ; he was sent to Andersonville and died there August 3, 1864, grave 4,682.
