Capt. Sterling Turner's Company of Volunteers on Horseback was recruited from among his neighbors in the Cloud's Creek and Mine Creek region of northern Edgefield (currently Saluda Co SC). While returning from a raid in Saxegotha/Lexington, he and around 30 members of his company camped near a partially completed log cabin (called "Carter's House") on a tributary of Cloud's Creek. On 7 Nov 1781, they were surrounded and outnumbered by Loyalist militia forces under the command of Col. William ("Bloody Bill") Cunningham, who demanded unconditional surrender. Some members of Turner's company attempted to return fire. With only two exceptions, all were either killed in battle or executed after surrendering. An incomplete muster roll for this company can be reconstructed from extant service records and pension applications. Men present at the Cloud's Creek massacre: Capt. Sterling Turner Bartlett Bledsoe (survived and escaped) Berryman Bledsoe, widow Emilia John Bledsoe James Butler, Sr., widow Mary Simpson James Butler, Jr. Nathaniel Corley Zachariah Davis, widow Christiana Burdett Eskridge/Ethridge, widow Hannah Peter Foy, widow Hamutel Matthew Jones Gideon Nicholson 2nd Lt.

C. Armstrong, the leading merchant of Notasulga, Macon county, Ala., was born in 1841, in Walker county, Ga., and is a son of H. H. and E. L. (Sloan) Armstrong, born respectively in Wilkes county, Ga., in 1810, and Edgefield district, S.C., in 1812. These parents were married in Walker county, Ga., and in 1843 came to Alabama, located in Macon county, and died in 1886, and 1888, members of the Missionary Baptist church. H. H. Armstrong was a gentleman of considerable ability, was at one time a member of the Georgia legislature from Wilkes county, was an advanced Mason, and a successful business man. His father, James Armstrong, was a native of Scotland, and was a young man when he came to the United States, where he married, and held charge of a Baptist church at Savannah, Ga., during the war of 1812, sought refuge in Wilkes county, where he died many years ago. The maternal grandfather of D. C. Armstrong was Adam Sloan, who died in South Carolina. The children of H. H. and E. L. (Sloan) Armstrong are nine in number and are named as follows: Mrs. T. P. Harvey, of Rome, GA.; James, of Main City, Mo.; Col. H. Clay, a prominent citizen of Auburn, Ala. During the late war he was on Gen. Ross’s staff, later was state superintendent of education, was once a member of the state house of representatives, and under President Cleveland was United States consul to Rio Janeiro; he is also one of the leading Masons of the state, being past grand master of the grand lodge, and past grand high priest of the chapter. D. C. Armstrong is the fourth born in the family; the fifth is Mrs. E. Dellridge; the sixth, A. S., deceased, was with Gen. Ross during the war; the seventh is also deceased, and was named R. D.’ the eighth is Mrs. Corrie Reese, of Rome, Ga., and the ninth and youngest is R. T. of the same city. D. C. Armstrong was educated at Notasulga, at Ervin college, Tenn., and at Rome, Ga. In 1861 he joined company B, Sixth Alabama reserves, in which he remained until after the first battle of Manassas; he then went to the front and took part in the fight of Seven Pines, and following this, in nearly all the engagements of the Virginia campaign, including Antietam and Gettysburg. At the last-named place he was severely wounded and captured, and for three months was unable to turn over. After being confined in Baltimore for a time, he was released, and went to Texas, where he passed four years in the hide and wool business. He then returned to Alabama, and engaged in merchandising at Loachapoka, in Lee county, for a few years, and thence went to Florida, where he passed four years and finally settled in Notasulga, his present place of residence, w here he is doing a successful business, and also has considerable farming interests. His nuptials took place in 1872 with Miss Susie R., daughter of Maj. H. E. J. Harris, now a resident of Georgia. Mrs. Armstrong is a native of Stewart county, Ga., and in religion is a Methodist. Mr. Armstrong is a member of Loachapoka lodge, F. &. A.M., and has served as its worshipful master. Additional Comments: David and Susie are found in the 1880 US Census, Lee County, Alabama with no children. His parents, H. H. & Elizabeth L. Sloan Armstrong are in Notasulga, Macon, AL in 1880.

I want to say thank you for answering my question concerning Horse Creek and after reviewing the paperwork it looks like it could be Little Horse Creek. I plan to drive over there today, can anyone tell me if I will see a sign that says Little Horse Creek. Thanks, Margie

Subject: AVERY FRANKLIN'S WAR SERVICE From: "Avant Kathleen F GS-07 643 ELSS/CXEA" <Kathleen.Avant@Gunter.AF.mil> Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 08:16:54 -0500 To: "On" <scedgefi-bounces@rootsweb.com> The following is information I culled from the Internet, AOL Civil War History Ancestors & Genealogy Board, from Mr. Frederick Sineath, Civil War historian. The information pertains to the 6th SC Cavalry in which Avery Franklin was enlisted. Further information shows he was listed as serving in the 22nd SC Infantry when he was captured and taken POW at the Bermuda Hundred Campaign to serve time in Point Lookout MD, where he subsequently died o/a 6 Dec 1864. 1. The 6th South Carolina Cavalry Regiment, was organized in January 1863, by increasing the former 16th SC Cavalry Battalion (a.k.a.: 1st SC Partisan Rangers, and: Aikens Partisan Rangers) to regimental strength, then it was redesignated the 6th SC Cav Regiment. The 6th SC Cavalry served mostly in SC from Jan 1863 - May 1864. ( a few companies {A&F} were on detached service in Florida till May 1864) Moved to Virginia and served in the Army of Northern Virginia from May 1864 - Jan 1865, when it was moved into North Carolina, where it remained and later surrendered with the Army of Tenn Apr 26 1865. 2. Some additional information.: The 6th SC Cav Regt, were engaged in the following: Willstown Bluff SC (Jul 10 1863) Wilderness VA (May 5-6 1864) Spotsylvania CH VA (May 8-21 1864) North Anna VA (May 23-26 1864) Cold Harbor VA (Jun 1-3 1864) Siege of Petersburg (June 1864 - Jan 1865) Vaughan Road (Oct 1 1864) Carolina campaign (Feb - Apr 1865) Darlington (Feb 27 1865) Solomons Grove (Mar 9 1865 Monroes Crossroads (Mar 10 1865) Surrendered Apr 26 1865 with Army of Tenn 3. Bermuda Hundred: This is an area on the eastern side of Chesterfield County Virginia, located about 8 miles or so south of Richmond City. It was basically halfway between Richmond and Petersburg, slightly to the east. It is still called Bermuda Hundred, and also today known as "Enon". The area was in a large bend of the James River, The area was first settled in the early 1600's, not long after Jamestown. It are reminded one of the early explorers of Bermuda, and the area was divided into 100 acre tracts, henceforth the name "Bermuda Hundreds" and attempts were made to get settlers to come up river and settle there. The area didn’t really take off very well, and most had moved on or back down river within a few years. The indians in the massacre of 1622 took out most of what remained. Many confuse Bermuda Hundred, which was an area, with that of Bermuda Hundred Landing, which was a particular place within that area, and a river landing. In the 1860s, it was a sleepy little farming area, sparsely populated, and the main north-south rail line was nearby, and an extension of the rail line (side line) went over to Port Walthal on the river, and was a popular river landing for awhile This is just a short basic synopsis: The "Bermuda Hundred Campaign" was in May-June 1864. With Grant and Lee slugging it out at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania. Grant sent Gen Ben Butler and his Army of the James, to stab at Richmond while most of the Confederate forces were occupied with Grant’s forces. Confederate Gen P.G.T. Beauregard assembled a force to confront Butler; most of this force were units from the defenses of Richmond and a few others. A brigade of Tenn troops under Bushrod Johnson, and South Carolina troops under Hagood, were brought up from the deep south to assist, as well some others. The resulting battles that occurred between these two forces were: Battle of Walthal Junction, Battle of Swift Creek (a.k.a.: Arrowfield Church), Battle of Chester Station, and came to a head with the Battle of Drewry’s Bluff (May 16 1864). The Confederate forces were the victors in this campaign. Gen Butler’s main camp was in the Bermuda Hundred area, and he withdrew there. There was also a great deal of daily skirmishing and little fights going on much of the time between the larger engagements. Both sides were held tight, and stared at each other for the remainder of May, and early June. When the forces of Grant and Lee came down into the area, this set the stage for the Siege of Petersburg. This little known engagement and campaign was overshadowed by the larger, more popular battles during the same time frame. It was a serious threat to Richmond in May 1864, and if it had failed for the south, it could have shortened the war by almost a year (by the capture of Richmond anyway). Many of the scars of 1864 still cover the landscape in that area. Most of the Confederates that were captured during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign, were held there at Butler’s camp for a short time then sent by ship down to Fort Monroe, in Hampton, and held at "Camp Hamilton" until they were sent north to other prison camps. Most went to Point Lookout, then some were transferred from there up to Elmira in NY or Fort Delaware. (NOTE: The following is new information (17 Nov 97) concerning the regiment and company Avery was in at the time of his capture. It may have been that he was transferred to the 22nd SC Infantry after serving in the 6th SC Cavalry, since we have copies of his enlistment papers that show that he enlisted in Charleston in the 6th SC Cavalry, Co. B.) I think the research tracks may have been crossed somewhere, as to your ancestor being with the 6th SC Cav, or he could have been detached from it at the time or something. During the time frame of the primary fights in the Bermuda Hundred area (May to early June 1864), the 6th SC Cav was active in the engagements of Wilderness/Spotsylvania/North Anna. These are nowhere near Bermuda Hundred. I checked the name you gave against those listed as having died at Point Lookout Prison and there was listed an "A. Franklin", but he was listed as being in the 22nd South Carolina Infantry Regiment, Co. A.. I checked several other files I have, and found this same A. Franklin listed in the same 22nd SC Infantry Regiment. This person is stated to have been captured and later died in Point Lookout Prison on Dec 6 or 7 1864. The 22nd SC Infantry was present and active in the fights at Bermuda Hundred VA. I could find no other Franklin from SC listed amongst those that died at Point Lookout, or mentioned in affiliation with the 6th SC Cavalry. I believe this person in the 22nd SC Infantry, may very well be the ancestor you’re looking for, there are too many parallels here. Let me know if you need further assistance. Respects Frederick

One of the military units raised from Edgefield District during the Civil War seems to have been the 14th SC Inf. I have gleaned this fact over the years from reading the Quill, the Edgefield Gen. Soc. newsletters. However, it seems that at least most of the names in Company "H" 14th SC Infantry were from Barnwell District. My double great, great grandfather, Richard I. Manning (called Manning) served in Company H 14th SC Inf. All of his records show Barnwell area where the Isaac Toole had settled in the Upper Three Runs area before the Revolutionary War. This is now in the Savannah River Project area.

HC Ouzts has her in his Watson file as 1st wife of James Sims Watson, Sr. Per the obit of her mother Leila Rhoden McGhee, Augusta Chronicle, Dec. 3, 1946 she is Mrs. Leila Watson of Greenwood. Since her name is given rather than her husband as in the other daughters listings, I would assume that he is either deceased or divorced. Since she was still living at his death, in 1969 and HC says he remarried, there must have been a divorce.

Thanks! I had heard rumors that she might have been buried in a potter's field, but I doubt that happened. Cremation sounds probably right. Thank you for the help! Christie

Billie, Sunset Memorial Gardens is located between Johnston and Edgefield, just off Hwy 23. It's closer to Johnston than it is to Edgefield. I'd guess it's about 5 miles from Edgefield and 3 miles from Johnston. >Also need the location of the Sunset Memorial Gardens mentioned as place of interment. Bob Collins
