The Bute County Regiment was authorized on September 9, 1775 by the Province of North Carolina 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 between 1775 and when it was disbanded in 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]
