843.953.6956 Ellison Capers The Citadel Archives & Museum 171 Moultrie Street Charleston, S.C. Telephone 843.953.6846 Fax: 843.953.6956 ELLISON CAPERS PAPERS A1961.1 BIOGRAPHY From the Dictionary of American Biography Base Set. American Council of Learned Societies, 1928-1936. Ellison Capers (Oct. 14, 1837-Apr. 22, 1908), Confederate soldier, Episcopal bishop, was born in Charleston, South Carolina. His parents were William Capers and Susan (McGill) Capers. With the exception of two years in Oxford, Georgia, Ellison Capers spent his childhood and youth in Charleston, where he attended the two private schools and the high school. He received additional training in the Conference School, Cokesbury, and in Anderson Academy. In 1854 he entered the South Carolina Military Academy (The Citadel). He graduated in 1857 and taught for that year at The Citadel as an instructor in mathematics. In 1858, he served as principal of the preparatory department at Mt. Zion College, Winnsboro, South Carolina but returned to The Citadel in January 1859 as assistant professor of mathematics. The next month he married Charlotte Palmer of Cherry Grove Plantation. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Capers was elected major of a volunteer regiment which took part in the bombardment of Fort Sumter. This organization gave way to a permanent unit, the 24th South Carolina Infantry, of which Capers was 1 lieutenant-colonel. After two years of fighting in the Carolinas, the bloodiest occurring at the battles on James Island, the regiment was ordered in May 1863 to go with General Joseph E. Johnston to the relief of Vicksburg, Mississippi. From this time until the surrender at Bentonville, North Carolina, Capers was in the midst of hard campaigning and intense fighting. He was wounded at Jackson, Mississippi in May 1863, at Chickamauga in September 1863, and at Franklin, Tennessee in November 1864. On March 1, 1865, he was appointed Brigadier General, succeeding Gist, in command of the brigade. A few weeks after his return to Anderson, South Carolina in May 1865, Capers was chosen secretary of state for South Carolina under Governor Orr. Moved partly by his experiences during the war, he chose to enter the ministry and be part of the Episcopal Church. His first charge, which he took in 1866, was Christ Church, Greenville, South Carolina. The following year he resigned his political position. In 1875, he went to Selma, Alabama, but returned the following year to the same Greenville parish. In 1886, he was elected bishop of the Easton, Maryland diocese, but he declined the position. In 1887, he was called to Trinity Church, Columbia, South Carolina. He was consecrated assistant bishop of South Carolina in 1887. In 1904 he was elected chancellor of the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee. He died August 13, 1908 and was buried in the churchyard of Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbia, South Carolina. Devoted as a churchman in his activities and his interests, Bishop Capers went beyond narrowly interpreted ecclesiastical duty. He was chaplain-general of the Confederate Veterans; he was an energetic member of the Southern Historical Association. He contributed many reminiscent sketches and book reviews to periodicals, and edited Volume V, the South Carolina volume, of Confederate Military History (1899). He championed higher education as a function of both church and state, and protested in many official charges against the growth of lawlessness and crime. The most fondly remembered of his achievements was his contribution, made by personal contact and by frequent addresses, to the return of good feeling between the once-divided sections of the Union. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE In 1961, The Citadel purchased the papers of Ellison Capers from Mr. Raynor Hubbell of Griffin, Georgia. The papers pertain to military activities from 1861-1865 and consist of official reports, general orders, special orders, diaries, muster rolls and personal letters from Capers to his wife. Correspondents include G. T. Beauregard, S. R. Gist, D. R. Jones, J. Johnston Pettigrew, C. R. Holmes, R.G. M. Dunovant, Thomas Drayton, C. G. Memminger, J. M. Shackelford, J. C. Pemberton. Correspondence from 1874-1905 is included also. The papers are arranged chronologically and comprise two linear feet.

    Section 1 General Information BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH JENKINS CAMP 1569 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEMBER HANDBOOK GENERAL INFORMATION Heritage of Honor The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of activities. Preservation work, marking Confederate soldiers' graves, historical re- enactments, scholarly publications, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political history of the War Between the States are only a few of the activities sponsored by local units, called camps. All state organizations, known as Divisions, hold annual conventions, and many publish regular newsletters to the membership dealing with statewide issues. Each Division has a corps of officers elected by the membership who coordinate the work of camps and the national organization.

  • President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another Year in the Round Table Is Coming to an End
    President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another year in the Round Table is coming to an end. The year has brought us many great speakers and terrific field trips. (Two trips subsidized by the South Carolina Humanities Council.) I was traveling in March and missed the trip to Fort Pulaski. Everyone I spoke to stated that it was a great day and that the stop on Tybee Island was very special. During this past season, we also had Hurricane Matthew that caused us to cancel our October meeting. While there was quite a bit of property damage, we survived and thrived. Our April speaker, Karen Abbott, received rave reviews. Thank you to the Programming Committee for finding these outstanding speakers. Now, it is May again, our final speaker of our regular season is upon us. Phil Leigh has a great subject and, my understanding, is that he will be bringing several of his published books for purchase. (Phil was initially scheduled for October.) May is also the time that, as required by the bylaws, I present the annual state of the club report. As you are aware our membership slipped significantly this year, and that has consequences. Further, it is time for the election of new officers for 2017-2018. (Please note that we still require a VP, Program Chair, and Hospitality Chair.) Do not hesitate to offer yourself to this service. The entire Executive Committee will support you. After an exhaustive process, Caroline Kennedy and Joe Roney are ready to announce our annual Scholarship winner, this will be our third recipient.

WARDLAW EXPLANATION OF CHARACTERS The letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H denote the generations beginning with Robert (Al). The large figures indicate the heads of families, or those especially mentioned in their generation. Each generation begins with 1 and continues in regular sequence. The small figures show number, according to birth, in each particular family. Children dying in infancy or early youth are not mentioned again in line with their brothers and sisters. As the work progressed, new material was received, which, in some measure, interfered with the plan above outlined. Many families named in the early generations have been lost in subsequent tracing, no information being available. By a little examination or study of the system, it will be found possible to trace the lineage of any person named in the book, through all generations back to Robert (Al). PREFACE For a number of years I mave been collecting data con­ cerning the Wardlaw and allied families. The work was un­ dertaken for my own satisfaction and pleasure, without thought of publication, but others learning of the material in my hands have urged that it be put into book form. I have had access to MSS. of my father and his brothers, Lewis, Frank and Robert, all practically one account, and presumably obtained from their father, James Wardlaw, who in turn doubtless received it from his father, Hugh.
