Private, Co. E; captured Nov. 12, 1863, North Edisto, S. C.; died a prisoner in Feb. 1865, at Florence, S. C. Of the circumstances regarding his capture nothing has been found. It is a singular fact that the date of Grover's capture is the same as that of Johnson and Logan, of the Fifty-fiftprisoners. （Compiled from individual records in appendix.) where CAPTUREDEscaped.Released.Died in Prison.Record unknown.Total.Wounded.Discharged away.Returned to Reg't.Died after Release.

Orangeburg front, sent back a regiment along the main road, and took a strong position a mile and a half from the river. The bridge on the main road was then laid. Next came the north fork of the Edisto. General Force was ahead. The principal Orangeburg bridge having been burned, Major Osborn (my chief of artillery) and myself worked our way across Force's footbridge, and went into Orangeburg on foot the morning of February 12, 1865. The village was at least half a mile from the North Edisto River. The troops were posted across all the roads over which the Confederates had retired, and then set to work to destroy the railroad. Another line, the Columbia & Charleston Railroad, ran through the town. There were perhaps 800 population at that time. Cotton brokers had made it a center of some importance. Our skirmishers alleged that they found the town on fire when they came in sight, and before we could arrest the flames a third of the houses were consumed. From testimony th

art of his command at Battery island, under Brig.-Gen. I. I. Stevens. Here they were secure under the guns of the fleet in the Stono. By June 5th another division under Gen. H. G. Wright, having marched across Seabrook and John's island from North Edisto, had crossed the Stono from Legareville to Grimball's on James island. These two divisions constituted the force of General Benham, that of Wright covering his left on the Stono, and that of Stevens his right, immediately in front of Secessio and convinced of the strength of the line of defense across the island, the Federal commander-in-chief abandoned the campaign, evacuated James island the last of June, and aggregated the main portion of his troops at Hilton Head, Beaufort and North Edisto. There were left only the gunboats in the lower Stono, and the blockading fleet off the bar to menace Charleston. The troops which had reinforced the command of General Gist on James island were returned to their former stations on the coast

ston and the coast of South Carolina. In the forts and batteries, and on the islands surrounding the harbor, the effective force amounted to 12,856. The remainder of the troops were disposed along the main line of defense between Rantowles creek and the Savannah river, guarding the water approaches from Beaufort and the Edistos, while a small force of cavalry and light artillery operated in Christ Church, and beyond the Santees. On the 4th of April, seven monitors had been collected in North Edisto and twenty transports were in the Stono, landing troops on Cole's and Folly islands. On the 6th, the steam frigate Ironsides and eight monitors were off the bar, and on the morning of the 7th, having crossed, were lying off the south end of Morris island. The Federal land forces were commanded by Maj.-Gen. David Hunter, and the fleet by Rear-Admiral S. F. Du Pont. No attempt by General Hunter's forces was made, or appeared to be in preparation, to attack either Morris island from Fo

orn November 25, 1824. He studied one year at Princeton college, New Jersey, and then returned to the management of the plantation. In 1850 he was a member of the South Carolina legislature, and in 1860 a delegate to the convention which adopted the ordinance of secession. His first military service for the State was as second lieutenant of the Calhoun artillery, a volunteer organization which early in 1861 constructed the fortifications on North and South Edisto rivers, and garrisoned North Edisto for two months, furnishing their own arms, ammunition and subsistence. He then organized a company of mounted riflemen in Charleston district and was elected captain. His command was mustered into the Confederate service as an independent company for the war, on February 17, 1862, and in the following May was assigned as Company I to the Third South Carolina cavalry, in which regiment Captain Jenkins was promoted to the rank of major. Major Jenkins participated gallantly in many of the

There are five of these between Charleston and Savannah— Stono Inlet, North Edisto, South Edisto, St. Helena, and Port Royal.
