Company I was an excellent company. Formed from the lower end of the county where most families were rather up scale for the up-country, it served well. It appears to have no desertions to speak of. This is my revised roster of Company I, Sixteenth South Carolina. It is drawn from a wide group of sources. There are problems with it. I have attempted to show all men so some duplication is possible. To be noted with the problems are the trouble in telling who is who with the Harrison's and others including the Forrester's. Of the 167 men of Company I: only 9 were captured; 2 at Missionary Ridge and its attendant actions, 2 at Kennesaw and one each at Franklin, Marietta, Nashville and the place of capture for two is unknown 24 were Killed In Action, 21 Died of Illness, and only 3 died in prisons. Those killed in action died as follows: 8 at Franklin, 4 at Decatur and Kennesaw Mt., 3 at Atlanta, 2 at Missionary Ridge and one at Peachtree Creek and Smithfield, N.C. The place of death for one is unknown. In addition to the 24 killed, 17 members were wounded, several on multiple occasions. Thus the difference in number of wounds and men wounded. Although it is difficult to see who was wounded at Franklin and who at Nashville, there appear to be 3 at Franklin and none at Nashville, 4 at Decatur, 2 at Atlanta, and one each at Kennesaw, Lovejoy, Car Shop, Missionary Ridge, and Dalton. For 2 men it is not recorded where they were wounded. There were 29 men present at the surrender. 14 attended the 1883 meeting where the colors were brought from hiding. No member of I Company that was captured, galvanized or fought for the Union. All the men appear to have come from Greenville County. No one is carried as having deserted. I consider I Company one of the better companies of the regiment, certainly it appears to have been one of the most loyal to the southern cause. There is a J.J. McKinsey, Company I, Sixteenth South Carolina listed as buried at Griffin Georgia in the U.D.C. list, Vol 2, page 628. It is possible that this is Newton Mckinney but the U.D.C. information is right after war and is certainly dated. |

Many of the men from I Company, served in Company B of the Third State Troops from January of 1862 until January of 1863. This unit of State Troops was commanded by Captain T.B. Roberts (Captain, Company A, 16th S.C.V). Numbering with those serving in both units are Thomas Goldsmith, Samuel Mckittrick, W.D. Bramlett, George Fielding, Johnson Goodwin, J.M. Greer, John M. Howard, T.B. Nelson and others. Some would join other units, others would find the way back to the 16th. You will note that almost every surname mentioned in I Company of the Sixteenth is to be found on Bil's roster listed below.

My father’s ancestral research indicates at least 2 of 4 Vaughan brothers fought with the 16th. Your necrology section confirms this with the exception of the incorrectly spelled last name. The Vaughan family had settled in or around Fountain Inn, SC during the civil war. Pascal died in Franklin, Tolliver died in Kennesaw Mountain and Henry died in Petersburg (army of VA) or the CSA hospital in Farmville. The family story around Henry was that after months of filth in trench warfare he became agitated and was determined to crawl out of the trench to relief himself. It was his last act of defiance. The other family story is that my gr/gr/gr/gr grandmother was heartbroken as her boys were "volunteered" to serve. When they came for her youngest she took matters into her own hands. She burned the family bible, which detailed birth dates. Then she lied about the age of her "baby" (his name escapes me) who was small in stature. She told the recruiters that she had given 3 sons to the confederacy and that was enough. And in so many words, get off my property now! Since that time, generation after generation perpetuated the family name though a single male child. Until my father (Charles Ball Vaughan) moved North in the early 1940's and had two sons, I have two sons, and my brother has one. The Vaughan’s remain defiant. I hope this is of some passing interest. Thanks again, My warmest regards, Evan Vaughan evankvaughan@hotmail.com | . |

I think he is Benjamin William Burdett, son of of Agness Barker and Jesse Bramlett Burdett and husband of Eliza M. Smith. This Benjamin William Burdett was born June 9, 1843, Laurens Co., S.C., or Simpsonville, Greenville Co., S.C., and died Dec. 17, 1936, in Simpsonville. He was buried in McCarter Cemetery, Greenville Co., S.C. I believe he served as a private in Company I, 16th (Greenville) Regiment, SC Infantry, C.S.A., and as a private in Company D, 24th Regiment, SC Infantry, C.S.A. I believe the 16th and the 24th consolidated in 1865. Benjamin William Burdett is the grandson of Elizabeth Bramlett and Reuben Burdett and great-grandson of Mariann Bramlett and Frederick Burdett. Mariann Bramlett Burdett is the daughter of Margaret and Henry Bramlett Jr. of Fauquier Co., Va. Margaret moved into Laurens Dist., S.C., by 1790. Henry Jr. died in 1780. Mariaann's husband, Frederick Burdett, was in Laurens County by 1775 when he and William Bramlet witnessed a deed there. E-Mail Researcher | . |

Mahaffy, Roland | P | I | None | Looking over some of my records for Spartanburg County CW soldiers and noticed that an M. R. Mahaffey, 16 - I, was receiving a Class A Pension as Paralyzed. He was living in Walnut Grove, Spartanburg County. This was noted in the 1907 Spartanburg County Pension List and printed in the 4/27/1907 Spartanburg Herald. This paralysis probably occured due to his imprisonment at Camp Morton. I show that he died after 1910 and born 5/1/42. Notice the 16 I roster has a Roland Mahaffey with no additional data.

Stewart, Walter H. | P | I | Sur. Wounded Decatur(MR)(T) See First Regiment State Troops, Company K (8/63-2/64 - Roberts) | Walter Henry Stewart was the sixth child of John Stewart and Linny Pitts,
founders of the House of John. Henry, as he was called, was born in 1826 in
the Bethany community in lower Laurens County, SC. He was probably named
after his two grandfathers, Walter Stewart, Sr. and Henry Pitts.
As a young man, Henry moved with his parents and the rest of his family to the Fountain Inn area, where his father John died shortly afterwards of a sudden stroke while rebuilding his sawmill on North Durbin Creek. Family tradition says that young Henry ran the sawmill after his father's death, and lived for a time in a little house near the sawmill site about two miles northeast of Fountain Inn. Henry's uncle, 6 Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, notes in his journal that he bought 221 feet of weatherboard for his barn from Henry Stewart in July 1870. In 1864 he married Tempie Caroline Jones, thought to be the daughter of Margaret McMahon and Moses M. Jones of the Fountain Inn area. After the war Henry served as postmaster of Fountain Inn - probably sometime in the years between 1867 and 1873, according to available post office records for these years. He kept the post office in his home for a time. About 1874 he and Caroline and their young family moved to the Freeman community in upper Greenville County near Travelers Rest, SC, where Henry again served as postmaster. He was Clerk of Session at New Harmony Presbyterian Church until 1874. Henry and Caroline reared a family of seven children, one of whom died as a child. They were charter members of the Third Presbyterian Church in Greenville, and are buried at Duncan's Chapel Cemetery on Old Buncombe Road north of Greenville. Many descendants of Caroline Jones and Henry Stewart still live in the Travelers Rest and Greenville area. They meet each year on the fourth Sunday in October for a "Stewart Cousins Reunion" at Reedy River Baptist Church on County Road 88 southwest of Travelers Rest, on the edge of the Furman University Campus. For more information, contact 2641 Frances S. Shepard or 26272 Beulah L. Batson.
