The Halifax District Brigade was an administrative division of the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War (1776–1783).
[1] Brigadier Allen Jones served as commander of the Halifax District Brigade from May 4, 1776, until after the war when he resigned his commission on December 3, 1787.
Thomas Eaton temporarily filled general Jones command while he represented as North Carolina delegate to the Continental Congress in December 1779 and again while he was ill in 1781.
The hastily assembled 1st and 2nd Battalion of Volunteers were assigned to Brigadier General Allen Jones of the newly created Halifax District Brigade of the North Carolina militia.
The term limits for these two battalions expired on April 10, 1777, so the units returned home because they were no longer needed.
