Dear Fellow Kemps, I am looking for any information on the 5th South Carolina Battalion. This was probably NOT a Civil War unit, but a post war Grand Army of the Republic Unit in or around Greenville, S.C. Edgar T. Kemp is said to have risen through the ranks to Major in this unit. A family sword probably belonging to him was recently identified as his probable sword while serving in this unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any real information except prob 1867-1875 from sword expert. Best wishes, Ron English, Killeen,TX ==== KEMP Mailing List ==== Have you checked out USGenWeb (by state and county) lately? http://www.usgenweb.com
