Dear Howard: It looks like the same Grainger individuals were also spelled as Granger. According to "Broken Fortunes", page 136, one William Grainger from Horry served in the 1st SCV Inf Regt., Co. F, later converted to heavy Arty died from wounds on 05/131863 in Richmond and is buried in the Confed section of Hollywood Cemetery Section "T", grave 91. See Franklin Grainger below. He is probably reported in "SC Troops" as William GRANGER. T.W. Granger, Co. K, 26th SCV Inf Regt., see Levi and H.J. below as they were probalby bors or cousins. On page 136 of "SC Troops" no George Grainger is cited, see my response to Ruby just posted regarding further research sites. I do have a G. Granger that was a Lt. in a nearby local unit called M. Ward's Co. a.k.a. the Waccamaw Light Arty. which is probably our man if he was from NE SC and/or Horry County. I do know a fair amount about this unit. There are five other Grainger's cited in "SC Troops" that do not appear to "fit" Horry units except Levi Grainger that was a Capt. in 9th Bn Co. G, which was the predecessor unit of the 26th SCV Inf. I have a Levi Granger that become a Capt in the 26th SC Inf Regt. Co. K, which is probalby one and the same as the gentleman form the 9th Bn. I'd say he was probably from the northern part of Horry Co. near Loris. It looks like he survived the War. I have a ton of Grangers from SC and if you want these, then send me a SSAE and a note and I will send the listing from "SC Troops" and "Broken Fortunes" to you ASAP. I do have a Pvt. Franklin Grainger from Horry Co. F, 1st SC V Inf Regt, Co., that was converted to a heavy arty unit, that died of disease in Richmond, VA on 08/02/1862 according to "Broken Fortunes" on page 136, although no Franklin is reported in "SC Troops". Pvt. H.J. Grainger of Co. K, 26th SCV Inf Regt. age 36 died of wounds on 09/09/1863 while in the Confederate Hospital at Lauderdale, MS from wounds he received 07/12-1863 at Jackson, MS. I know a great deal of these circumstances and will be relating them in the website that I am working on for the 26th. He was one of the first of the 26th regt to die with many more to subsequently come. If you have any family stories, letters, diaries, photos, ect. re. Mr. Grainger, I would be very anxious to hear from you directly via my e-mail, as the 26th is my major focus. Help me so that I can really put a human face on this website and your keepsakes can remain with you and never leave your custody. He is cited as H.J. Granger in "SC Troops" on page 189, so he does have a Military Compiled Service Record on file at the National Archives. See me if you need help in ordering any of these or other SC men's Complied Service Records. Again, send me a SSAE along with a reminder note as to what you are requesting and I will drop these lists to you: Julian R. Harper, 10030 East Dewey Robbins Road, Howey-in-the-Hills, FL 34737. There is just too many to provide to you by e-mail. Hope this info helps.
