Thomas Isaac Lenoir
- Captain Thomas Isaac Lenoir Diary – Lenoir was elected captain of the Haywood Highlanders, a company that was formed at the beginning of the Civil War by mostly farmers from the Bethel area. This company soon became known as Company F and was attached to the Confederate Army’s 25th NC Infantry Troops for the entirety of the war. Lenoir’s diary, which he kept during the first year of the Civil War, is a valuable historical document. Author Carroll Jones transcribed and interpreted the diary in his book (See Carroll Jones).
