Company I, 14th Regiment
South Carolina Volunteer Infantry
Abbeville County - (village of Lowndesville)
"McCalla's Rifles"
Company 'I', 14th SC Volunteers was raised August
1861, in the small village of Lowndesville, SC. There
were originally 80 men in the company. At the
surrender at Appomattox Courthouse there were only 7
men available for duty.
"McCalla's Rifles" were accompanied by four black
cooks. These were free men - not slaves. They were
John McCoppin, Sidney Glynn, Alex Stratton, and Samuel
Tucker. (Others were possibly Samuel J. Lee and Jim
Rouse).
The name "McCalla's Rifles" was in honor of George R.
McCalla, who was a farmer in Lowndesville. Mr. McCalla
donated the uniforms worn by the soldiers of Company
'I'.

7/31/99 - Lynda G Mixon
I am looking for descendants of Sion Lawson who was listed in the 1860 Milton
County Census. He was married to Caroline Brumbelow in 1843 in Forsyth
County. They were in Forsyth County in 1850. The two of them disappear after
the war. Their children include, Catherine Elizabeth ran away with James Cobb
to Alabama, Spencer who is still in the area in 1880, Nancy, and Emeline who
married John Christopher, still in the 1880 census. Sion was married to a
probable Elizabeth before Caroline. They had William, Reuben, (killed in the
war), Lecil, Mary and maybe others. Also would like information on the Jacob
Lawson listed in the 1880 census. Thank you.

Thanks, the Daniel Christopher listed as a witness to the James Wilson will
in Williamson Co. TN 1827, is probably my GtGt Grandfather. I have him on
census in TN 1820, now in 1827 too. He is father of Benjamin Franklin
Christopher and William Christopher who show up in Greene Co MO 1850,
Benjamin F, leaving with his young family over the Oregon Trail in 1854, to
Oregon then on South to Solano Co California. William Christopher stayed in
MO until just after the Civil War, then moved to Texas with his third wife,
Nacadoches Co. Anyone needing information on Benjamin Franklin Christopher
and family after 1854 I'll be glad to share. Also on William as I
researched him extensively while in TN and MO a couple of years ago.
Cheers,
Sharon (Christopher) Hiner
