Terri, Couldn't resist adding to this one: John L. Branch, Aug 27, 1825-Jan 15, 1894; Col, 1st S.C. Infanty Rgt, Cdr at Morris Island; ordered the Citadel Cadets Battery to fire on the Steamer Star of the West Jan 9, 1861; said to be the first shot fired in the war; m. Martha A. Delaney; buried Oak Hill Cemetery Union Springs. Keep it going, I love it; no wonder I can't find so many of these brave old souls, most moved elswhere. Thanks so much!! Deo Vindice, Homer
