After the war, he married Christiana Griffin of Colleton and they moved from Walterboro to Pritchardville near Bluffton, SC. He served several term as a Member of the South Carolina State House of Representatives representing Beaufort County. He was a successful attorney, farmer, and businessman. He is buried at Indian Hills Baptist Church outside of Bluffton on Highway 278 approaching Hilton Head. His Confederate Service while in his early 20's gave him the selfconfidence and determination to be a success in all his endeavors, and to never quit, no matter how difficult the situation.
Randolph Hodges enlisted in "B" Co., 24th S.C. at the age of 18 at Camp Gist near Charleston on 24 March 1862 for "12 months or the war." He was listed as present with the regiment for the entire war, validating the family oral tradition that he did not come home until after the war was over three years later. He was paroled when the 24th surrendered at Greensboro, N.C. on 1 May 1865. He then walked home to his family's home in Marlboro County, S.C. Another oral tradition, but not documented in any records, that he was wounded by having a musket ball carrying away part of his jaw, and his face was scarred by smallpox that he grew a beard to hide it. Another oral tradition was that he did not immediately return after the war was over, and was assumed dead by his family. One evening, while the family was setaed out on the porch of the house, they saw what appeared to be a dog slowly walking to towards the porch between the furrows between the house and the road. As the form got closer, they saw that it was not a dog, but their son! He was so close that he could not stop walking to rest, and was crawling on all fours to make it home. He later married, had several children, and is now buried in the old Hamer graveyard near the Hamer Mill in Dillon County.
Joseph was one of 5 sons of James A. McDaniel, Sr. and Martha A. McDaniel of Marion (now Dillon) County that volunteered in the Confederate Army.

He shipped to Charleston in may 1862, where the regiment was initially doing provost duty and picket duty, and encamped in the City Park. 1st S.C. became engaged with federal forces in the James Island area of June 1862. He died in hospital in Summerville, on 20 AUG 1862, and it is not known that if it was from wounds or illness, as it is not mentioned in any correspondance from his company commander...just the fact that he is dead and attempting to expedite pay due him to his wife still in Floydsville. His body was returned home and buried with his brother at Carmiachael Cemetary in Dillon.
Benjamin, or "Dock," was the youngest of five sons of James A. McDaniel, Sr. and Martha A. McDaniel to enlist in the Confederate Army. He enlisted in (SEP?) 1864, at the age of 18. He was initially on stockade duty at Florence, until moving north with the remnants of the forces in S.C. against Sherman's Army Group of two corps. The unit was in action at Bentonville, N.C. 19-21 March 1865. Hardee did not want to use Reserve troops due to their extreme young or extreme old age. Dock returned and married, and attended Kentyre Presbyterian Church in Dillon County where he is now buried.
Alex was one of 5 sons of James A. McDaniel, Sr. and Martha A. McDaniel of Marion (now Dillon) County that enlisted in the Confederate Army. Alex enlisted 30 SEP 1861 in Marion to a newly formed volunteer company of infantry: The Liberty Guards. The unit mustered into the regiment assembling at White's Bridge, outside of Georgetown, S.C. The company was reorganized as "L" Co., 10th S.C. IN, and served in a harbor defense role as both infantry and artillerists guarding Winyah and Santee Bays. On 31 March 1862, he shipped with his regiment to Mt. Pleasant, and on 11 April entrained from Charleston to Corinth, Mississippi. They arrived in Corinth on 24 April, and took part in combat operations for the first time on 1 May 1862 on outpost duty 7 miles from Corinth. He died from fever running rampant through the Army at Corinth. He died later that Summer near Tupelo, where his body has yet to be recovered by the family. See, _A Carolinian Goes to War: The Civil War Narrative of Arthur Middleton Manigault_, by Tower. S.C. Press.
One of 5 sons of James A. and Martha A. McDaniel of Marion (now Dillon) County who enlisted in the Confederate Army. He is named after William C. Preston, the State's Rights moderate. One other brother was also named Benjamin Franklin, illustrating the patriotic bearing of the parents! Preston, as he was commonly called, enlisted in 20 July 1861 at Camp Pickens near what is known as Sandy Springs, in Anderson County. In AUG 1861, the regiment moved to Sullivan's Islannd, while the recruits moved to Summerville. In NOV 1861, he was on duty at Sullivan's Island, and was sent to Roper Hospital in DEC of 1861 for the fever running through the ranks. After the Great Fire in Charleston, he died on 14 DEC from fever. His body was returned home and buried in Carmichael Cemetary with his family.

Wyattt Ingram, I have info about your ancestor, but your email address is inactive. Contact me at billg@frii.com
Promoted in 1862. The remaining men in the regiment surrendered in Appomattox. 9 filed officers and 148 men were held at the stockade. At the end of the war, they were pardoned and released. With no money or previsions, the men were force to walk to their respective homes. My Great Great Grandfather walked from the stockade all the way to Marion, SC. He lived to be 112.
I know he was in Company C 8th regiment SCV because I found a rifle with his name ingraved in the stock it is in a museum in Florance South Carolina but I cant find his name listed. If some one can help please email me at Wingram1401@aol.com He was from Cheraw South Carolina.
I know little about him, he was brother of my great grand father, and lived in Hendersonville/Walterboro South Carolina (colleton co.)
This uncle of mine died for the Confederacy when he was just 19 years old and didnt even get a chance to live life the way it should or for as long as you should but we are all very proud that he would give up his life for his country.
I am very proud to have a ancestor who fought for his loving country so bravely as to give his life at age 23 to these Confederate States of America. I also have 4 other Confederate ancestors who fought for the Confederacy for what they believed in.
I have searched for my Confederate Veterans grave, but still nothing. I think it would be good to locate it and pay him respects. I must say that it feels so good to be a desendant of a CSA veteran. I am very proud of being form South Carolina too. Thank you Granddaddy Frank. JLOH
He was the historian of Company D and a book was published of his Civil War experiences a few years ago.

My great-grandfather was from Charleston and joined the fight before war was declaired. Serving w/ the Washington Light Artillery in Charleston on Ft Moultry(sp?). When the war began, he joined the Hampton/Hart's Battery where he served the entire civil war as guidon. He only missed 4 days of service for the entire war due to illness in the very beginning. He carried the guidon while riding a white horse. He was never injured even though his horse was shot and men around him were killed. He lived a charmed live. The flag he proudly carried is now on display at the University of South Carolina in the Confederate Relics Room under the eye of curator Mr. Bigham. I had the honor of seeing the flag in person about 3 yrs ago and talking w/ Mr. Bigham in depth about my great-grandfather.
Marcus was born in Utica, New York in 1817. He moved to Orangeburg, South Carolina around 1840. When the war broke out, he cast his lot with his adopted land and joined the State forces serving while in his mid to late 40s. He served in the 11th SC Reserves (a 90 day unit) in 1862-63, and later served in the 14th SC Militia in 1865. He was captured by the lead elements of Sherman's army at Penn's Bridge, Orangeburg in March of 1865. He was sent to Point Lookout, Maryland prison as a POW for four months when the war's conclusion ended his time in captivity.
Warren and his brother Morgan were born in Orangeburg, South Carolina. They walked to Summerville and enlisted with Warren being only 13 years old. They served at Secessionville, Fort Wagner, and Grimballs Landing. The 2nd was converted to infantry and attached to General Johnston's army facing General Sherman. When the army surrendered in North Carolina, they walked hundreds of miles back home.
Moses was born in Charleston in 1830. He enlisted in the Gist Guard in 1862 and served at various posts in Charleston Harbor. He was charged with desertion in 1863, but the charges were reduced to "being absent without leave" after he returned to his post of his own will and his commanding officer intervened on his behalf. He was hit by shell fragments at Fort Sumter on June 26th, 1864. He had a leg amputated but died from his wounds within an hour. His death is documented in the Official Records. His second son, Henry Solomon, was born four months after his death.
William , was born in 1833 (I believe Fairfield County. He enlisted in Chester and spent 4 years in the service, being wounded in the Richmond, Petersburg area, 2 times and spending time in hospitals in Richmond. He returned to S.C., married Mary Louanna Shed/d of Fairfiled, in 1864 or 1865, They apparently moved to Chester, where their first 4 children were born and moved, then to York County, were born. He died in 1898. Mary lived in York,where she ;had a veterans pension from S.C. The 23rd, Regiment fought, according to the records, in 12 battles, etc. and surrounder (according to records at Appomattox. I am trying to learn who his father was. i believe it to be Aaron Smith, of Fairfield, who in 1850 enumerated a William, as being 18 year of age. I continue to search fo get confirmation.
My grandfather William Campbell Love and grandmother Julia Leslie Love from Lesslie S.C. gave me a copy of this letter when I was around 14 some 37 years ago. I would like to transcribe a letter from my GG Grandfather written January 19, 1863 from S.C. Mount Pleasant to his wife. "Dear Wife and children I take my pen in hand this morning to let you know that I am well at present hoping that these few lines may find you all in the enjoyment of the same great blessing from God and to let you know that I received your letter day before yesterday, which gave me great satisfaction to hear from you and that you were all well and getting along so well. I had grown very uneasy about you all before I got the last letter. I ahd been looking for a letter for about ten days or two weeks before I got it and I was truly glad to get it." "Well my dear children one and all, I do want you all to try and be obedient and mind what is said to you and try how well you can do. You do not know how much satisfaction it gives me to hear from you that you are doing well but it would grieve me very much to hear you were disobedient and trifling and lazy. I hope it will not be very long to be till I have the great pleasure of seeing you all again. I think that we will get home by the fifth of next month. They say our time will be out against them." "I have not very much to write about at this time only to let you know how we are getting along now. We do fair but middling these days it gets longer the worse as it has been but it is about to run out. We had little or nothing to eat yesterday and laid down our arms and would do no duty. We got one half pound of bacon last night to the man and some meal and today we have gone to drilling again. It is the hardest road to travel that I have ever tried. The weather is very warm here now. It is warm enough to plant corn and I want you to be careful of everything you can and save the corn all you can not to share the things too much. I am afraid that you will feed Bill and Mike so well that you cannot do anything with them. I wish you would see if you could get APC to take Mike and break him if he has any need of him I would kike to have him worked some before I get home. I sent my poke and ropes home in a napsack. We had no need of them. and if you are over there any time you can get them. I must close. As ever your affectionate husband" J.E. Love

James Nathaniel Craig Leslie, Private, Company B, 6th South Carolina Infantry Enlisted at York District, South Carolina, July 21, 1862. We had several letters from him to our great great grandmother in 1862. Here is a synopsis of what we have. July 1862 York District S.C. Writing to his wife Jane, he had some bowel complaints for 3 or 4 days but has gotten well again. He has orders to start to Virginia Tuesday morning and many of the men are homesick already. He also tells his wife that the kids "Willey and Sis need to be good and mind you". August 11 1862, Camp Near Richmond Writing to his wife he finally makes it to his regiment. They marched out of Richmond to this camp to General Jenkins' Brigade. He also said that "I have had the best health that I ever had in 6 years". He tells his wife "we have orders to start to Stonewall Jackson this morning" and that he was very glad to get a letter from her. He tells her he has too much clothes and it gets to him to wash his clothes in a branch without soap. He closes with telling her to direct your letter to Richmond, Virginia in care of Captain White, Company B and "Goodbye but remaining your dear husband until death". August 29th 1862, Orange County, Virginia He tells his wife that "we left on Saturday morning at daybreak and marched Sunday and Monday until dark, Jane I was broke down but we are laying by today but I think we will march tonight or in the morning". He explains we are 6 miles of the Rapidan River and the yankees are on the other side". He tells his wife Jane "to send him a pair of gloves if you can. It is very cold here at night". August 31, 1862, 18 Manasas Mill In this letter he writes about "Jane we have some very hard fighting up here and it is still going on. Jane I was in the fight yesterday and the day before, 29, 30 and it was a very hard fight but was not touched nowhere. Jane it was God's mercy that I was not hurt. Jane we made charge after charge on the enemy until we drove them about 3 or 4 miles. I don't know how far we are from them. We took a battery from them. Jane we lost a good many men but I think the yanks lost about 4 to our 1. He closes "we have been on the march for nearly 3 weeks and I don't know when we will be done with it but remain your husband to death." September 1st 1862 "Jane we took 30 men into battle on the 30 of August and we brought out 10 men. We had 1 killed and 19 wounded then had 1 or 2 died since then". He tells her "I am still on the land of the living and that I am in good spirits". He also says "Jane we have pretty hard times up here, it is march all of the day when we are not fighting. Jane we are near Fairfax Court House at this time within a few miles of the yankees and I think we will have another hard fight with them here by my hope and desire that we will whip them and that God will spare my life as he is my shield and protector. I will put my trust in him but if I shall fall I hope to meet you in heaven for ever more." He closes with "we can't get any tobacco up here at all and I remain your husband unto death." This was the last letter that we had. We're not sure what happened to him and there are some interesting reports. Broken Fortunes by Randolph W. Kirkland, Jr printed by the South Carolina Historical Society in 1995 lists on page 208 that Private Leslie died of disease October the 1st 1862 in Winchester, Virginia. It seems strange that he died in Winchester because the final letter from the General Hospital in Staunton, Virginia writes to my grandmother January 2nd 1863: Mrs Lesley, Madam: Yours of Dec 22nd addressed to the wardmaster of ward "A" has just been handed me with this request that I would furnish this information desired. In reply, Your husband was transferred from this hospital to the Genl Hospital at Richmond. Nothing further is know of him here. Very Respectfully GW Sutton/Clerk To this day we've never found a trace. Rick Lewis
Fought with the 6th South Carolina at 2nd Manassas. Made the charge on Chinn's ridge during that battle when these brave South Carolinians took a yankee battery. These facts matched the contents of his letters he sent home and were listed in the book about the battle called "Return to Bull Run, the Battle of Second Manannas".
He is very loyal and humble. There's no day he doesn't make my day brighter I love you baby.

I am very proud of him and his brother Washington for standing up during a very terrifying time. He was 21 and his brother 18. I think his brother followed Frank's lead. Wash was wounded, Frank made it home unscaved. They answered the call to defend their homes and family. Young men not knowing anything outside their own county. Yes, I know the South lost, but they had alot to be proud of nonetheless. All Sons of Confederate Veterans should be proud of their family and heritage. Don't be pushed into a corner and made to deny who you are and where you came from. Our ancestors were very brave men, very brave. Never forget. Southern Marine, SSgt Jeffrey L. O.

HE WAS IN WITH A JACOB AND A JOHN RICHARDSON MULLINS AND A W.V. MULLINS. IWONDER IF THEY WERE HIS BROTHERS? I BELIEVE HE WAS BORN AROUND 1840. I CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER INFO WHICH MAKES ME THINK HE MAY HAVE BEEN WOUNDED OR KILLED. I THINK HE ALSO WAS IN TURNEYS FIRST INFANTRY. HE EITHER RESIDED AT FLAT CREEK OR COUNTY LINE?
I am very proud to be descended of brave men that fought and gave their all for the principles of which the Constitution was founded and that they had the courage to fight in what they believed to be a true and just cause. May the people who degrade these honorable men repent of their ignorance.
My ancestor was Rufus Hughes i was wondering if you could help me with any information on him. I would really like to find out what co. he was living in when he inlisted and any other information on him would greatly be appreciated any information be greatly appreciated.
Issac and seventeen other blood relatives from Edneyville, NC fought against the Yankee Invader. I have seen family history documented that the Lyda boys in Grey were fighting to repeal the invaders from their home land, I have not seen any archived proof of Lyda's owning any slaves. The Lyda's fought for States Rights & Home.
I don't know the dates he served. He was wounded in the leg and was discharged, returning to Chester Cnty. S. C. He sometimes lived in Fairfield Cnty., S. C.
I just started researching my gg-grandfather. Very little is known at this time. I would like to know more. Can you suggest how I might find this information? Thank you.
