I find the following information in "Broken Fortunes" by Randolph W. Kirkland, Jr., The South Carolina Historical Society, Charleston, SC, 1995, p. 369: Wm. Preston WESCOAT, 3rd Sgt., Co. I, SCVI, of Colleton District, died 6 May 1864 at Wilderness, VA, killed in action. Buried Fredericksburg C. C. Hope you will find this of interest. No other WESCOATs listed. URQ
