George B. Singletary Chapter 313
Greenville, North Carolina
Our Chapter History
The George B. Singletary Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was organized June 19, 1899, in Greenville, North Carolina. Mrs. T. J. Jarvis served as its first president. The Greenville chapter was named in honor of Colonel George B. Singletary, a prominent Greenville attorney and the Commander of the 44th Regiment N.C. Troops. Colonel Singletary was killed in action June 5, 1862, about eight miles west of Washington, N.C., at the Battle of Tranter's Creek. The site is located today just off of U.S. 264 at the Pitt County/Beaufort County line. A North Carolina Civil War Trails marker has been placed just east of the county line to commemorate the battle and in honor of Colonel Singletary.
The objectives of our Chapter are Historical, Educational, Benevolent, Memorial, and Patriotic. We strive to preserve the memory and honor of our Confederate ancestors; we collect and preserve the materials necessary for a truthful history of the War Between the States; we protect, preserve, and mark the places made historic by Confederate valor; and we record and educate on the lives of Southern men and women, their contributions, their struggles, and their patriotic devotion during the War Between the States, and their efforts during the post-War reconstruction of the South.
We typically meet one Sunday of each month at 2 pm. Our meetings are very casual, and are open to anyone with an interest in preserving our Confederate history, male or female, anywhere in Eastern North Carolina. We do not limit ourselves to the Pitt County/Greenville area.
