Your note about the rank of Thomas Grange Simons caught my interest so I researched his record on Fold 3, which holds a 43 page file for him. He enlisted for twelve months as a private on 24 February 1862 at Charleston, South Carolina, in Captain Edward W Lloyd's Company of the Washington Light Infantry, Company B, Eutaw Battalion, South Carolina Volunteers. This became Company B, Eutaw Regiment, 25th South Carolina Infantry.
T. Grange Simons was promoted from "3 to 2" corporal on 7 Aug 1863. His file contains requests that he be promoted to "Sargeant Major" and to lieutenant citing his bravery and conduct as a gentleman. He signed a federal (Union) parole on 5 March 1865. At the Battle of Secessionville on June 16, 1862 he was shot through the right shoulder which laid him up for five months.
His file on Fold 3 is unusual in its scope and the number of narrative documents - letters and records - it contains.
