J.L. Bartley of SC & Confederate
Want info on this man who served in SC's Palmetto Battalion Light Artillery, Co C.Can't identify him on 1860 SC census.Writing book on this company, and need details on him.Was transferred to Confed. navy at Charleston, and probably is the same JLB who was killed in action in Virginia in 1864.To be transferred to navy, he probably had either experience with boats, or a special skill like caulking or carpentry, etc.Workers in navy projects became subject to infantry draft, and it makes sense he would be sent to Virginia during federal advance on Richmond.Please help me find out more about this mystery man.
