Bamberg Guards, Company A,
First South Carolina Regiment - 1861
Thanks to Sybile Pierce
for
her contribution of this roster.
Carey Columbia McMillan, a great-uncle of mine, keep a diary
of the
war & wrote his memoirs in 1917. Carey Columbia McMillan was the
last
of the Bamberg Guards to die.
The number of soldiers going out in my company, The Bamberg
Guards
was about ninety two. Twenty three of them surrendered at Appomattox.
From
the best information available, there are only eight now living (1917).
So its seems I am one of eight of ninety two who went forth from
Bamberg
fifty six years ago in the cause for Southern independence. In fine
health,
with no ills or ailments at seventy four. My chances may be favorable
to
be the last survivor of the original Bamberg Guards.
For blessings unnumber showered up me all these years, I am
more
than thankful to him from who all blessings flow.
