There are no service records that I have ever been able to find on the 4 regiments raised in November (Junior Reserves). There are some official records on the unit level but nothing on soldier level. What data I have has come from newspaper articles and the occassional county history. If you ever find, please let me know where so I can visit on my next trip back home. The Senior Reserves are a different matter. 95% of the names there came from Microfilm of Compiled Service Records. Unlike the Junior Reseves, the Senior Reserves were mustered into CSA service, which may account for a more records. Would not expect much but he does have one. The only referebce I have ever seen on the Stognerville Home Guards is in a mention in a book about the county. I am not even sure whether it was a recognized part of the militia. The SC Archives has a book on the AnteBellum militia units and does not list, though it is obvious not complete. Any data will be appreciate. I would like date/location born, died and buired, giving a more human face to these units. It is still under construction and I home to be able to add more.

I am still working on my Stogner family book, which includes a Brasington, or two. I know your have the information on my 2nd great grandfather, John Crawford Stogner, who was in the group of 16-year-olds from Lancaster Co., SC, Company I, 3rd Regiment State Troops, organized Sept. 1864. I have not sent for his service records, but really need to since I am in the process of also ordering a headstone for his grave, which has none, at Fork Hill Baptist Church Cemetery. But sure you let people know that the veterans that served in the Civil War, or any other war, for that matter, are eligible for a marker from the government. That's the least they can do.. Also, William Jackson stogner, born ca 1819, previously served in Stognerville Home Guards as a 1st Lieutenant. Seems when we write for service records, they don't show anything on William, but he was listed in the 5th Battalion of State Troops, Senior Reserves, Company E, Lancaster Co. Do you know anything about records on the Homeguards? Do you think he would also be eligible for a marker, in that case? You're doing good work trying to preserve this. I intend to check out your site and see if there is anything more you need. And while this is going out, if there are others with Stogner connections, I would like to hear from you.
