Lieutenant Company G
Photo provided by Terry Woodward and Chester Howell John W. Boling is the nephew of Edward B Powell. Edward B Powell is the son of Reverend Stephen Powell (one of the early founders of Ebenezer's Baptist Church) and Patience Bomar. They had four children, Edward B, Martha Powell, who married Benjamin Boling, William Powell and Thomas Powell (he died 30 June 1862, his tombstone at Ebenezer states Co. F, 1st Reg. Sol. Fell victim to disease contracted in camp, CSA. )His child Tommie was born after Thomas died. Yes, Martha's daughter was named Mary Jane and she was the widow of Young Batson. She and her uncle Edward married on March 8, 1874. A child,named Alletha was born on August 15, 1875 and died on Dec 15, 1875. Edward and Mary Jane interpreted this as an omen or message that their marriage was not proper, and they separated. Her tombstone at Ebenezer Church identifies her as Mary Jane bling, wife of H.Y. Batson. Edward Powell was also a veteran of the Texas Revolution. He served in Texas from June 12, 1836 to September 12, 1836. He received 24 dollars in payment for 3 months service and a land grant of 320 acres. He elected to return to South Carolina and married Malinda Burn on January 15, 1839 They had three sons and four daughters. Stephen born 10 Oct, 1839, Patience who died before the age of three, Jerimiah born 24 July 1844 and died 27 July 1862, James William born July 24, 1846, Mary born January 9, 1849 and Frances born 23 January 1853. Edward B.'s second wife was Elizabeth Carter. They had four children, Thomas, Rowena (my ancestor) Young Henry Edward, and Mathew Calvin. Five of Elizabeth's brothers served in the Civil War, William T Carter, George Carter, Hardy Carter, and Edward Carter. Joseph joined the union. Another interesting antedote. Edward B. Powell's son Jerimiah (Jerry) died in Richmond during the same night on which his half-brother Young Henry Edward was born. (July 27, 1862) Edward and his second wife, Elizabeth Carter, named their son after H.Young Batson and Henry Springfield. Edward B, his sons Stephen and J. William enlisted in Company G, 16th South Carolina Regiment. This regiment consisted of ten companies, each organized in a different area of Greenville County. Company G. was organized in the Marietta community, and a large number of its members were Powells, their relatives and in-laws. Edward B. was a 2nd Lt. Stephen was 1st Sgt and wounded in the Battle of Franklin. William was a private. Henry Springfield, the husband of Edward B.'s sister in law, Mary was a 4th Corp. and was wounded at Kennesaw. John W. Boling, the son of Edward B's sister, Martha, was a 1st Lt when Co G. was formed and later became a Captain. On April 28, 1862, the 16th Regiment was changed from state service to Confederate States service. Edward B. resigned on that date. On November 14, 1862, three and a half months after the birth of his son YHE, he enlisted in Company G, 3rd Regiment, 1st Carolina Reserves as a 2nd Lt. on Sept. 12, 1863 and was promoted to Captain in November of 1863.
