March 26, 2000 Dear Ginger: Per the "South Carolina Roster, Nmae Roster, Vol. 1" by Broadfoot Publishing, page 405, John E. Rhame (no John E. Or J.E. Rhames) was a member of the 2nd SC Cav, Co. "A". By being cited in this book it means that he has a Military Compiled Service Record on file at the Textual Service Branch of the National Archives and Record Administration in Wash, DC. They have a website and the NATF FORM 80 there needed to order his MCSR and it costs $10.00. It is well worth the money. I know very little about the 2nd Cav so I would recommend that you surf over to the following website that is great re. SC Confed's http://members.tripod.com/mwyckoff/index.html or input keyword Mac Wyckoff. Finally, according to Kirklands "Broken Fortunes" , and I believe but don't know for sure that this is your man: Rhaime, John E., from Kershaw County (KW), died at age 22 while in service to the Confederacy on 7/16/1864 at Green Pond, SC accidental drowning in the Ashepoo River. Hope this makes Confederate Memorial Day more meaningful----Julian Ginger Hederer wrote: > Could you please look up John E. Rhame/Rhames.

Julian: This is indeed my man? I contacted the NARA and they told me they would not have pension records for confederate soldiers that I would have to contact the state of South Carolina. I was looking over SC web page but could not find any reference on where to write, what information to include, or the amount needed for the search. Could you give me some suggestions? I know he died at Chapman's Fort, accidental drowning in the Ashepoo River, SC. I am wondering where he would have been buried. Is there burial grounds in that area. To tell the truth I don't even know where that area is. Thanks for all your help!

March 29, 2000 Dear Ginger: Nearly all Confederate pensions were issued by the respective states in which the vet was residing upon filing an ap for the pension; therefore the systems and records are kept by the respective states. In SC, the Dept of Archives and History in Columbia is the record keeper. They have a website. If you can find the County in which his widow resided and approximate filing date and along with the data I given, and assuming that she lived until at least 1898 and did not re-mary, it is very likely that you may recover her widow's pension ap, both pre- and post 1919 versions which are very valuble genealogically. You may also order a poor quality photostatic reproduction of the NARA's Compiled Service record from the SCDAH or much better copy from DC with the data and form info already provided. As to his burial place, he died at Green Pond, SC on the Ashepoo River, you will have to locate Green Pond. He will be buried nearby his place of death, I have had good luck using the USGS map site, use the key word gnis and just follow the prompts..One you find the locale, try contacting the local Sons of Confederate Veterna Camp and they may help or do some surfing on Mac Wykoff's website that I enumerated below, to find out where his unit was at the time of Mr. Rhame's death and follow-up from there. Since he died by accidental drowning and not in the midst of the chaos of battle he most likely will be in buried in a nearby church cemetery and the local newspaper or unit history will have a write-up. The State Library of SC will loan out microfilm of the state's newspapers of the era. I'd bet that you'll find him and if so, go visit his grave or cemetery at all costs and pray over his grave, I believe that it will be a rewarding and spiritual thing for you and your family. If you can, go on Confed Memorial day. PLEASE keep me posted. Julian Ginger Hederer wrote: > Julian: > This is indeed my man?
