The Bute County Regiment was authorized on September 9, 1775 by the North Carolina Provincial Congress. It was subordinate to the Halifax District Brigade of militia commanded by Brigadier Allen Jones. The regiment was not engaged in any battles or skirmishes against the British during the American Revolution from 1775 until its disbandment on January 30, 1779. It was disbanded when Bute county was dissolved and split into Franklin and Warren counties. The regiment was split into the Franklin County Regiment and Warren County Regiment.[1][2][3]
