Company F was mostly men from Union, with some also from York and Spartanburg. Camp Hampton (was located on Wade Hampton III's estate outside Columbia, South Carolina John is buried in Skull Shoals. There is a good bit of documentation of that. Place of burial documented in family history and in other geneological papers. Quote in all of them is: "Buried without a stone." Possibly born circa 1826 in Union, SC. The few census records that record John, all state born circa 1826 in South Carolina. Family all say John came from Ireland by way of Philadelphia, perhaps it was his ancestor? Either way, no one in my family knows anything about John in the time before he married Susan. Father of: ================================================= Josephine (Black) Taylor William Allen Edward "Billy" Black Govan Black Marion Black Eugene Black Syl Black Elbridge "Bridge" Black (and possibly one other) My paternal great-great-great-grandfather and the end of my known family history. ================================================= Married Susan. Possibly Susan Taylor, daughter of Mark Taylor and Mahala Huckaby. She was possibly born Oct 20, 1832 in SC. Its believed that she remarried after John passed. Her place of burial unknown. Note that, regardless of her maiden name, she was not Susan Elizabeth Taylor (for that Susan married John and Susan's son William Allen Edward "Billy" Black). There are some versions out there about John and how he died. Everything my family has told me has always proven to be correct. Family said that John had wanted to serve in the war and was told no, then they found out he had been a blacksmith and somewhat of a master of making guns and knives... so they changed their minds and enlisted him. After surviving his enlistment, he was sent home. Only, unbeknownst to him, he had contracted the measles and got more and more ill as he made his way home. Family said he was SO close to home when he died. They buried him in Skull Shoals and never allowed his body to come to the homeplace... so he never, ever, quite made it home. However Civil War records have now been, in my opinion, validated by similar information on estate papers, show he died in Camp Hampton Now that I have his proven date of death, I may try and order a veteran's stone for him.
