Samuel Waimwright Daimwood; Co B 24th & Co K 3rd Tennessee Infantry
-
Samuel W Daimwood was born on December 31, 1840 to Elizabeth Jane and Henry Boone Daimswood near Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee. He was the eldest of eight children; five boys and three boys. His great grandfather (3x) Hans Heinrich Demuth came to the colonies in 1742 and settled in Pennsylvania. He changed his last name to Daimwood upon arriving. The family eventually went to Virginia and finally Maury, Tennessee in 1805. Samuel grew up on his family’s general farm until about 1860 when he settled his own farm close by.
-
Samuel, at age 20, enlisted on August 24, 1861 with Company B, 24th Tennessee Infantry at Camp Trousdale. His brother George also joined Samuel in enlisting. Samuel was one of the many who fell ill with dysentery in December 1861 due to the poor sanitation conditions at the camp. He recovered and joined the 24th in battle at Shiloh. On April 6, 1862, the 24th was a part of Patrick Cleburne’s brigade on the Confederate left against Ralph Buckland’s Ohioans. Samuel and his brother were both severely wounded during the attack and were sent to the army hospital at Columbus, Mississippi. They returned and fought at Perryville, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma Campaign, Chickamauga Campaign, Chattanooga Campaign, Atlanta Campaign, Franklin-Nashville Campaign, and the Carolinas. Towards the end of the war, the 24th was consolidated with other units and became the 3rd Consolidated Tennessee Infantry in which he was in Company K as 4th Sergeant. Samuel surrendered on April 28, 1865 at Bennet Place.
-
Samuel returned to his farm near Columbia. On January 9, 1867, at age 26, married the 16-year-old, Columbia native Annie Elizabeth Burton. They had eleven children; four boys and seven girls. He worked his growing farm until the late 19010s when, in his old age, moved to Brewton, Escumbia County, Alabama to live his daughter Annie, her husband Crumpton Brooks, and their children. Samuel and his wife lived here until his death on March 28, 1926 at the age of 85. His body was brought back to Tennessee to be buried at Daimwood Cemetery with his wife. She died one month prior on February 28 at the age of 77.
