A Widow's Claim for Pension on file at the NC Archives shows Nelly M. Holt filing for a pension based on the service of her husband, J.S.Holt. He enlisted in Co. E, 5th. Regiment of the NC State Troops on/about 7/15/1862., and died of disease on 8/10/1862. Place of death appears to be Virginia. Pension application was filed in Alamance County, NC on 15 May 1885. I have a copy of this pension. There is also a pension application from 18 Jun 1901 on file at the archives; this application shows her middle name as Meintor.
