Henry Isaac Caughman James L The Pledge and Salutes to our Flags: The United States Flag I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. The South Carolina Flag I salute the flag of South Carolina and pledge to the Palmetto State love, loyalty and faith. The Confederate Battle Flag I salute the Confederate Flag with affection, reverence and undying devotion to the cause for which it stands. The Charge: Gen. Steven Dill Lee’s Charge: “To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier’s good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.” South Carolina Division Sons of Confederate Veterans Greetings Compatriots and Brothers! Welcome to UpCountry South Carolina and the 2013 annual Reunion of the South Carolina Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. This is the first official Reunion gathering of the SC Division in Spartanburg since 1910. As in past Reunions, we are gathered to conduct the annual business affairs of our organization, but at the same time remember and celebrate our fathers who wore the Gray. They bequeathed to us a great honor and privilege to tell their story and uphold the cherished ideals and principles that made them standards of courage, valor and patriotism. It is my hope and prayer that every man in attendance will depart this weekend with a renewed vision of his own purpose in the Sons of Confederate Veterans and like a burning ember, return to his local Camp and ignite and invigorate the men back home. Together, and in one accord, let’s endeavor to raise the standard of excellence in our organization, accepting nothing less than our very best in all that we do and say. GOD Bless each and every man, the South Carolina Division, and GOD Save the South! Mark A. Simpson, Commander Sons of Confederate Veterans Sgt Adam Washington Ballenger Camp 68 Greetings Compatriots: The men of the Ballenger Camp are honored and excited to host the 2013 South Carolina Division Sons of Confederate Veterans Reunion. We would like to welcome you to beautiful historic Spartanburg. We trust that you will enjoy your stay in the Upcountry and would invite you to approach any member of the Ballenger Camp with questions or concerns while in our town. As we enter this hall each man enters as a member of one of ten Brigades. These ten Brigades are further divided into Camps. Brigades are separated by geographic regions. You may live in the Upcountry or the Midlands. The view form my back deck is of the Mountains while yours may be the Atlantic. There are many things that divide us. While I understand the need for organization I also understand the danger of division. If we are to affect change then we must understand and perfect the art of unification. Will this event be a Reunion or simply another meeting? Will we go thru the motions another year or will we purpose in our hearts to go from here united? These are questions that each man must answer for himself. The collective answers will determine the future of not only each Camp, each Brigade and the Sons Of Confederate Veterans but will determine the future of the South. The Ballenger Camp has worked hard to facilitate this Reunion. Our prayer is that we will leave this event united as South Carolinians and united we will strike a wild fire of Southern Pride that spread uncontrollably thru the Confederacy. May God continue to bless Dixie.

He was a Sergeant in Company C during the battle at Deep Bottom (2nd Battle of Cold Harbor.) At this battle, a charge was made against the enemy and they were thrown in confusion and began to retreat. During this, Ballenger separated himself from his command and alone, rushed forward and captured a one of the enemy's cannon. In a fight with enemy teamsters who sought to retake the piece, Ballenger, although dangerously exposed to enemy fire, cut the traces to the horses, then mounted the gun and single handedly defended the piece until reinforcements arrived. In returning to his command he met his Captain J. W. Carlisle, who told Ballenger that his brother, Joseph, was wounded and left in the rear. In the meantime, a group of Federals had come around the wing of the Confederate troops, but finding they were about to be cut off, retreated, and carried Joseph with them. He was sent to the prison camp at Point Lookout where he died shortly thereafter. This conduct was witnessed by General Samuel McGowen who sent for Ballenger a day or two later. Arriving at headquarters, Ballenger was congratulated by the General, who informed him that he had recommended that he be commissioned a First Lieutenant for his valor and skill. He received his officer’s commission and was assigned to Company H of the 13th Regiment. A few months later, he was appointed to one of the companies of Dunlop's Battalion of Lee's Sharpshooters, three companies of which were made up out of McGowen's Brigade. He remained in this outfit until he was severely wounded in the arm and hip on the picket line at Petersburg. He was carried to a hospital in Richmond and was there at the time of the surrender at Appomattox. After four months, he was well enough to return home and was ordered to the State capitol building in Columbia to take the oath of allegiance. Ballenger didn't like this idea, so he slipped off and, bringing his army sword with him, he walked several miles out of the city and boarded the train for home. He finally returned home safely. After the war he married Emma Victoria Wingo and together they raised 12 children while managing the Inman Hotel. Called "Cap'n" by nearly everyone in town, Ballenger was remembered as a genial old gentleman, an animated conversationalist, and a lover of good food. It is said that he was raking leaves when he died Dec. 18, 1912. One of the first tasks of Camp #68 when it was reformed was to pursue the Confederate Medal of Honor for their camp's namesake. Adam Washington Ballenger’s Medal will be on public display at the 2013 Son’s of Confederate Veterans Reunion / Convention in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Signers of the Ordinance of Secession from Spartanburg County Simpson Bobo He was born January 15, 1804 in lower Spartanburg District. He was an attorney being admitted to the bar in May 1825. As an attorney he helped to ground what is reported to be the oldest continually operating law firm in the United States. Mr. Bobo was a Methodist and served on the first board of trustees of Wofford College. He was a public advocate of the Temperance Cause in 1830. During the war he served in the state legislature from 1862- 1864. On April 29, 1865 the Yankee Calvary, under the command of General William J. Palmer, commandeered his house as their headquarters while in the area searching for President Davis. Mr. Bobo died December 16, 1885 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in the city of Spartanburg. Barham Bobo Foster He was born February 22, 1817 in Spartanburg District. Prior to his 18 th birthday he was elected Captain of a company of the Militia. He eventually held every office in the State Militia from Captain to Major General. At the start of the war he raised a company of men and was then elected Lieutenant Colonel of the 3 rd South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. However, his health failed him in the winter of 1861 and he was sent home.

  • Section 1 General Information BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH JENKINS CAMP 1569 SONS of CONFEDERATE VETERANS
    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.

  • General AP Hill at Gettysburg
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Park Seminar General A.P. Hill at Gettysburg: A Study of Character and Command Matt Atkinson If not A. P. Hill, then who? May 2, 1863, Orange Plank Road, Chancellorsville, Virginia – In the darkness of the Wilderness, victory or defeat hung in the balance. The redoubtable man himself, Stonewall Jackson, had ridden out in front of his most advanced infantry line to reconnoiter the Federal position and was now returning with his staff. Nervous North Carolinians started to fire at the noises of the approaching horses. Voices cry out from the darkness, “Cease firing, you are firing into your own men!” “Who gave that order?” a muffled voice in the distance is heard to say. “It’s a lie! Pour it into them, boys!” Like chain lightning, a sudden volley of musketry flashes through the woods and the aftermath reveals Jackson struck by three bullets.1 Caught in the tempest also is one of Jackson’s division commanders, A. P. Hill. The two men had feuded for months but all that was forgotten as Hill rode to see about his commander’s welfare. “I have been trying to make the men cease firing,” said Hill as he dismounted. “Is the wound painful?” “Very painful, my arm is broken,” replied Jackson. Hill delicately removed Jackson’s gauntlets and then unhooked his sabre and sword belt. Hill then sat down on the ground and cradled Jackson’s head in his lap as he and an aide cut through the commander’s clothing to examine the wounds.

  • “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge”
    The Army of Northern Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge” Pender’s Light Division at Gettysburg, July 1 D. Scott Hartwig It was July 1 at Gettysburg and the battle west of town had been raging furiously since 1:30 p.m. By dint of only the hardest fighting troops of Major General Henry Heth’s and Major General Robert E. Rodes’s divisions had driven elements of the Union 1st Corps from their positions along McPherson’s Ridge, back to Seminary Ridge. Here, the bloodied Union regiments and batteries hastily organized a defense to meet the storm they all knew would soon break upon them. This was the last possible line of defense beyond the town and the high ground south of it. It had to be held as long as possible. To break this last line of Union resistance, Confederate Third Corps commander, Lieutenant General Ambrose P. Hill, committed his last reserve, the division of Major General Dorsey Pender. They were the famed Light Division of the Army of Northern Virginia, boasting a battle record from the Seven Days battles to Chancellorsville unsurpassed by any other division in the army. Arguably, it may have been the best division in Lee’s army. Certainly no organization of the army could claim more combat experience. Now, Hill would call upon his old division once more to make a desperate assault to secure victory. In many ways their charge upon Seminary Ridge would be symbolic of why the Army of Northern Virginia had enjoyed an unbroken string of victories through 1862 and 1863, and why they would meet defeat at Gettysburg.

  • Wardlaw Family
    GENEALOGY OF THE WARDLAW FAMILY WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF OTHER FAMILIES WITH WHICH IT IS CONNECTED DATE MICROFILM GENEALOGICAL DEPARTMENT ITEM ON ROLL CAMERA NO CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS CATALOGUE NO. iKJJr/? 7-/02 ^s<m BY JOSEPH G. 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.
