Regiments Raised in Chester County, SC
1861
- 1865
Copmany H of the 24th South Carolina Volunteers Infantry was made up primarily of men from Chester District, the area around Richburg having the largest number represented. Company H was raised and commanded by Captain J.A. Thomas and Captain W. Lyle Roddey. Once raised, they were assigned to the 24th South Carolina Volunteers by the governor of the State of SC. They have the distinguished honor of being the first volunteers to enlist "for the duration of the war" rather than the 3 - 6 month enlistments most volunteers were signing at the time. By the war's end, they were known as "The Gallant 24th" and distinguised themselves on many battlefields in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Their first assignments were in the defense of Charleston, but later they were attached to the Army of Tennessee. The Gallant 24th was one of the last regiments to surrender, several days after Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to US Grant. The remnants of The Gallant 24th fought on in North Carolina consolidated with the remnants of the 16th South Carolina. There were only 201 soldiers left of the original 1,520. When surrender finally came April 10, 1865 at Greensboro under General Joe Johnson, the men cut the stars and insignia from their battle flag and the company commander rescued the rest. These momentoes are lost now for all time, but their brave banner has a place of honor in the Confederate Relic Room in Columbia, SC.Sources: "Enlisted for the War - The Struggles of the Gallant 24th South Carolina" by Eugene Jones pub.
