Lieutenant Company D Letter to Lt. Goodlett from M.M. Brown, Sandra E., All My Thanks For the Help Lt. Goodlett is listed in Taylor as Killed in Action, Peachtree Creek, 7/22/64. Taylor is in error about this. Goodlett's records show he was in the hospital in Mississippi in 1865 and he is shown at the surrender as Wm. Goodlett in his card file. If you can help, please let all of us know...and thanks. There is little doubt that he survived the war.
Lt. William M. Goodlett was born in 1840, the son of James Madison Goodlett(1810-1857 Mexican War, Tyger Battalion) and Bersheba Smith (born 2/15/36). His sisters were Martha (1838), Maria Louise (1842), Nancy Jane (1844), Rebecca (1845), Frances Elizabeth (Born 2/13/48 - Died 3/2/24), Letty (1851), Margaret (1853), and Sara Evaline (Born 11/15/53- 11/18/38). He married Jane Ella and they had one known child in 1869, John B. Goodlett. My thanks to Sandra E. for the information and the wonderful letter. There is a second Wm. M Goodlett from the Mexican War who is often confused with this one. |

William Green served in the war as a lieutenant in 16th Regiment SCV, as a Captain in Company E, 3rd Regiment, 1st Corps, SC Reserves (Col. Elford, 1862) and in the 22nd Regiment, SCV. He was at Camp Hampton, Richland District, 12 Dec 1861. He spent most of his service in the lowcountry at Pocotaligo and Sullivan's Island. A muster roll exists for his reserve troops dated 2 September 1862 and list's the men's names and ages. After he served two years, he hired a substitute for twelve months service (Feb 1863). He returned to service and moved north in April 1864 to Wilmington and Kinston, N.C. and then on to Petersburg. He camped near Petersburg through Nov 1864.

Lieutenant Company F Killed in Action, Franklin, Tennessee Jesse Hawkins B: abt 1831 (1850 census) Son of Herrington Hawkins. Herrington Hawkins was administrator for the estate of Jesse Hawkins and filed for a final settlement late 1867. Named as legal heirs at law were Sarah Hawkins (widow) and Beauregard S. Hawkins, presumably a son. Sarah and Jesse were married on the 1860 census but their son was born after the census as he is not listed on the 1860 census. ( It is interesting to note that on the printed form for Probate Court of Greenville District, SC, dated 4 Dec 1865, the line "__year of the Independence of the State of South Carolina" has been marked through and "90th year of the Independence of the U S of America handwritten in its place.) Lt. Jesse Hawkins was the grandson of Jesse Hawkins, who gave the land for Brushy Creek Baptist Church in 1825. |

Hunt, Walt Lieutenant Company K |
Hunt, Wm. U. Lieutenant Company K I think I have identified more cousins. Lt. William U. Hunt Co. K was probably William Uriah Hunt who married Martha Jane Blythe. He was born 1830 and died 1894. His grandfather was pioneeer settler Esli Hunt, Sr. who fought at King's Mountain and with Marion. Lt. Josiah Chandler would either be William A. Tollison's father-in-law or brother-in-law. The father in law died 1880, and the bro. 1863. Lt. Esley Hunt Bates was William Uriah Hunt's first cousin, also a grandson of patriot Esli Hunt, Sr. John S. Foster and Richard F. Foster's brother Capt. RSC Foster, Jr. (some Pickens Co. militia is I guess the origin of captain-he died 1857). married another granddaughter of Esli Hunt. The 1923 funeral of D. F. Batson was preached by Rev. Julius Josiah Earle Foster son to Capt. RSC Foster, a veteran himself who enlisted with a NC unit at 16.I assume that Lt. J.M. McDaniel is his father-in-law James Madison McDaniel, who was himself the son of War of 1812 Quartermaster General James McDaniel. R. H. Huff Co. G, by the way I have him as Richard not Robert was the son of Philip Joseph Huff and was John S. Foster's brother in law. John and Ellen Huff Foster's son John Peter was a career Army non-com who married R.H. Huff's daughter who was his first cousin. daniel4@home.com |
