12th South Carolina Returns

[Mikec71]

I am trying to locate any of the returns, rosters, or any other papers for the 12th SC.

If someone could recomend a Library, Museum ect to start with, I have no clue of where to start.

Thanks

You could try the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Museum and The South Carolina State Museum and see what they have in their respective collections.

They will have records on every soldier in the 12th SC.

Thanks for the lead, But they only have limited records available. Looks like pension records compiled in 1958.

Are there any books about Co I of the 12th?

Thanks

Mike,

You're not looking in the right place. I just went and checked myself. They have plenty of records listed by soldier. You have to pay for a subscription but it's worth it.

From the home page: hit browse records > Civil War > Civil War Service Records > Confederate Records > South Carolina > then scroll down till you start seeing 12th S.C. it's broken down by the mens last initials.

Sir-

You may be interested in an image of a Lancaster Hornet at the Library of Congress. I've tried to post it here but the system is being stubborn. You can find the image at

Library of Congress
Prints and Photographs Online
Liljenquist Family Collection
New Photos Added.

The Hornet, J.P. Robertson, is top row far right.

I'm guessing you're with Ben Cwayna's unit?

Your obt. & etc.

My ggg grandfather, Burrell Hancock was in the 12th Company I. I do have rosters but will have to scan them. Sgt. Hancock is listed in the book as being with the 12th at Appomattox. Colonel Dixon Barnes of Lancaster, SC was killed as a result of turning the flank at Sharpsburg. He had both legs amputated and died a few days later.

Thanks for the info on the picture.
