Enlisted 13 April 1861 in York, SC by Capt. Seabrook. Sent to hospital 15 Feb 1863. Died in Gaston Co., NC 22 May 1863. Brother of my Great Grandfather John James Strain.

Joined in the original organization of the 5th in 1861 (enlistments were for one year). Fought at 1st Manassas. He was one of the few members that did not stay in Co K when it became Co K of the Pametto Sharp Shooters, he went into Co H.

R.J.F. Wall originally enlisted in the 13th South Carolina Infantry Regiment, Co F, Apr 1861 but was discharged due to Typhoid Fever in July 1861. Went home to Spartanburg, SC until Mar 1863 when he reenlisted with the 5th Regiment, Co K (2nd). Served until the end of the war April 1865.

Hiram was the brother of my gr gr grandfather. Hiram and four brothers belonged to the Spartan Rifles from Spartanburg, SC. If I have my info right, in 1862 when most of the company went into the Palmetto Sharpshooters (his four brothers did), Hiram stayed in the 5th SC. Relatives have it that he was in. One source says he stayed in the 5th S.C. when Jenkins formed the Palmetto SharpShooters. Killed in 1862, Battle of 'Antietum' (Sharpsburg), Md. Another source says he was captured in the defense of Columbia, S.C. in 1865 and died from exposure. This info came from Ed Trammel, whose wife’s sister married Wm. Joseph White, descended from Rufus Belton White. Hiram White is buried in Elmwood Cemetary, Columbia, S.C..

Joined unit at original organization in 1861 (one year enlistment) and fought at 1st Manassas. When the 5th broke up in 1862 Co K joined the Palmetto Sharp Shooters and continued to fight.
