Smart (USAF) authored Lowcountry Families in World War II, A Memorial: We Mourn the Fallen and Honor All Who Served. My father was stationed at Savannah Army Air Base at the time of the attack. I remember my grandparents driving down from Camden, SC to tell their son goodby before he left for the west coast. My father was gone for about two years and served in Australia and New Guiana. At the time the Air Force was know as the Army Air Force. I am not sure just when it became known as the Air Force. My Dad retired while he was stationed at Orlando Air Force Base. Wonder when the name change took place? One interesting thing is that our former neighbor's father had worked for my father at Orlando. He signed the card that was given to my Dad at his retirement party. It is a "small world".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851196084997867464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341253432553087266.post-23753827911730505942019-12-04T08:53:14.153-05:002019-12-04T08:53:14.153-05:00Very interesting article.

Smart (USAF) authored Lowcountry Families in World War II, A Memorial: We Mourn the Fallen and Honor All Who Served. My father was stationed at Savannah Army Air Base at the time and I remember my grandparents driving down from Camden, SC to tell him goodby before he shipped out to spend about two years in Australia and New Guiana. At the time, the Air Force was not a separate service and was known as the Army Air Force. I do not know at what point the name change came about. I do know that my father retired from the Air Force and was stationed at Orlando Air Force Base, Florida. One small world comment is that the our former next door neighbor's father had worked for my father at Orlando and had signed the retirement card that was presented to my Dad. <br />Nancy G.

It is good to know that Company D of the 47th GA Volunteers (Screven Guards) were raised in Screven County, Georgia. <br /><br />The statement in the cataloging record for <i>"A List of the Confederate soldiers...</i>" is: "Written to honor the Confederate soldiers from Georgia, esp. the ones from Company I, 47th Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry, who were all from Effingham County, GA and took part in this battle." The author's introduction only references Company I members (because some of those men were his ancestors) which in turn is the source of the catalogger's statement about the members of Company I all being from Effingham County. Nevertheless, Turner includes the casualties of other companies from the 47th Georgia in his index. Is there a particular man in whom you are interested? <br />Grace Cordialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373723420690651987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341253432553087266.post-44503613549539468882017-03-04T08:03:29.438-05:002017-03-04T08:03:29.438-05:00Your brief description of the document: "A li...Your brief description of the document: "A list of the Confederate soldiers killed or wounded in the Battle of Honey Hill at Grahamville, South Carolina on November 30, 1864" states that all of the Confederate soldiers in the battle of Honey Hill were from Effingham Co, GA.

Before he was married in 1921, he lived at a boarding house in Port Royal that he said served a mound of biscuits at the breakfast table every morning that were the best he'd ever had! During his tenure on the railways, he was caught in two train wrecks. One wreck occurred at night when he and a friend were in the caboose. It was a cold night, and they had a coal fire going in the stove. The train jumped the tracks on a hill and rolled downhill in the dark. Hot coals were flying all about the inside of the caboose as the car rolled end-over-end. His friend was thrown out of the caboose. When the cars came to a stop, my grandfather found his friend in the dark, dead, laying on a flat spot of the hill... having been crushed by the rolling caboose. I still have my grandfather's (and his father's) railroad watch. <br />Archigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336672288053985011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341253432553087266.post-49176871081897815582016-05-02T07:16:17.356-04:002016-05-02T07:16:17.356-04:00Grace, thank you for this more objective story of ...Grace, thank you for this more objective story of Hugh Bryan than is historically told (of an histerical man) I find his story utterly fascinating and his influence on the Gullah Church of South Carolina a large one. William Hutson was my grand father many generations ago and I only recently found the source that spoke of him as tutor to the "Negro School" which was founded at the encouragement of George Whitefield, in 1740 there in Beaufort County. My research located the name of one of Hugh Bryan's Plantations called Providence, near what is now Sheldon Ruins. Do you know exactly where the "Negro School" was located? What Hugh Bryan's Plantation was called on Huspah Neck? Are they one and the same?

I did some of your basic work. I looked in our obituary files for his name. We do not have a published obituary for Henry Buncomb in our files. Although we have about 30 or so family files, the Buncomb(e)family is not one of them. Next step is to check the census for Henry and his wife. Have you done your census work for 1920, 1930 and 1940 yet? It may help you identify other facts beyond those provided in this blog post about his military service during WW1.

I personally believe that each one of us was put here for a purpose that’s to build and not to destroy. And if by chance some day you’re not feeling well, and you should remember some silly little thing that I’ve said or done, and it brings a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose has been served for my fellow man."<br />-Red Skelton<br />Grace Cordialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015500299053420337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341253432553087266.post-68887437930827476432013-03-15T15:51:32.252-04:002013-03-15T15:51:32.252-04:00Interesting post.
