He served in this unit until April 9, 1865, under the command of Captain Mile Hilton. He was discharged at Appomattox, Virginia April 9, 1865. This data was taken from his widow's application for South Carolina civil war pension dated September 13, 1919.

This document shows that William Kelley Cook and Sarah Jane (McKibben) Cook were married on December 31, 1856. It shows that Sarah Jane resided at Route 1, Osceola, Lancaster County, South Carolina since her birth in 1841. It also shows the death date of William to be June 1896.
