References & notes

His service and wound at Sharpsburg from a Company E Roster transcribed by Steve Stacey and posted online by the Darlington County SCGenWeb Project. His gravesite is on Findagrave.

The now illegible inscription on his stone is "Animis Opibusque Parati" according to an 1899 visit to his grave by W. H. H. Blackman (in Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 27, pg. 108). It means "prepared in mind and resources" and is one of the two State mottoes of South Carolina.
