Michelle Huddle joined under her Great-great-great-Grandfather Giles Webb who served in Co G, 54th Regiment, Virginia Infantry, Kimberly Huddle also joined under Giles Webb her Great-great-great-great-Grandfather, and Patricia Daniels joined under her Great-great-great-Grandfather Thomas Herrington who served in Co K, 4th Clinch’s Regiment, Georgia Cavalry.

Member Martha Moody Bailey shared with the chapter her discovery of newspaper articles from the Anderson Intelligencer which were from the 1860s war era.  The articles discussed activities of the Palmetto Riflemen, who were the Anderson Court House area troops who became part of the Palmetto Sharpshooters.  Anderson Court House was the name of the town seat, and was not changed to “Anderson” until the 1880s.  Many South Carolina newspapers are now available via the Library of Congress Chronicling America website at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/.

The next Chapter meeting will be held on Monday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m. at the Museum. Ladies with Confederate ancestry are invited to visit. For more information, please call Chapter President Dona Morgan at 864-630-5353.
