John Henry Huiet enlisted in Company M of the 7th South Carolina Infantry in April 1861 and was First Sergeant when he was wounded at Sharpsburg in September 1862. He was later commissioned 2nd Lieutenant and survived the war to become a successful businessman in South Carolina.

His photograph was contributed to his Findagrave memorial by Debbie Allmon, and overlays his obituary in the Henderson, NC French Broad Hustler of 12 April 1917, page 8, online from the Library of Congress.

The stone of 28 year old farmer William F. Harris, a Private in the 7th South Carolina Infantry.

He was a recent recruit who enlisted in August 1862 and saw his first combat in Maryland. He was mortally wounded at Sharpsburg on 17 September and died at home a little over two weeks later.

There’s quite a story behind “wounded seven times” noted on his stone, no doubt.

Let me know if you have any details, won’t you please?

Pictured are Lieutenant William E Clark and 3 of his 6 Strother brothers-in-law (George, John, and Richard), probably taken shortly after he and at least 2 of them enrolled in Company G of the 7th South Carolina Infantry in April 1861. In September 1862, by then Captain of the Company, Clark was mortally wounded at Sharpsburg. He died in Clarksburg, VA (now WV) on the 22nd. The photograph was shared to the Family Search database by Casey Clark [free membership required].

Of the Citadel Class of 1855 and an 1861 medical school graduate, Richard C Carlisle was the Assistant Surgeon of the 7th South Carolina Infantry in Maryland in 1862; he was detailed to Brownsville, MD to treat the wounded from the action on Maryland Heights near Harpers Ferry, on 14 September, and was captured there. He was promoted to Surgeon by the end of the war and later practiced medicine and became the largest land holder in Newberry County, SC.

This colorized photo is of him in his Citadel cadet uniform, and is online thanks to his descendants.

John Smith Brown was wounded at least 4 times during the war, including at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862. He was promoted to Sergeant in Company C, 7th South Carolina Infantry in 1864 and was surrendered at Goldsboro, NC in April 1865.

Here are Brown and his wife Harriet Tabitha long after the war. They married about 1875 and had 6 children by 1891. Their photographs were contributed to their respective Findagrave memorials by Carol Hoch from the collection of Pete Julian.
