Civil War Veteran. 4th Sgt. Co I 1st SC (Hagood's)

Malcolm Colin Carmichael was the son of Dougal B. Carmichael and Flora (McLellan) Carmichael.

Malcolm Colin Carmichael married Amanda Carmichael in Marion County (that area is now Dillon County) South Carolina.

Written by Kathleen Carmichael Powell.

My confederate ancestor is my paternal grandfather, Malcolm Colin Carmichael. He was born in 1839 in Hamer, South Carolina, and died there in 1922. He was the son of Dougald B. Carmichael, grandson of Duncan Carmichael, and great-grandson of Duncan Carmichael, immigrant from Scotland prior to the American revolution, and who was a member of the Highlander branch of the Carmichael clan.

My grandfather married my grandmother, Amanda Carmichael, same name but not related, in Marion County, South Carolina, in 1859. to them were born eight children; the eldest, my father, was born in 1860. The next child was born in 1865, which clearly demonstrates his length of service and absence from home during the years of the Civil War. He survived the war without injury but lost three of his brothers in the conflict, James Alexander Carmichael, Duncan A. Carmichael, and one other, John L. Carmichael.

Malcolm reared his family on a cotton and tobacco plantation near Hamer, South Carolina. In 1954, my brother and I visited for the first time the old homestead and surrounding area so rich in family heritage. There we met many relatives we had never seen before. The little Kentyre Presbyterian Church is nearby; there the family had very devoutly worshipped and served God. harking back to very primitive customs, the church still has a dividing wall down the center, used in those early days to separate the male and female members of the congregation during church services. We were told the custom has not been in existence for many years, that families now sit together on either side of the partition. The churchyard cemetery adjoins the church site, and that is where my brother and I visited the graves of Malcolm Colin Carmichael and his wife, Amanda.

The information written by Kathleen Carmichael Powell was given to my by Robert Ray "Bobby" Glenn, Jr. great-grandson of Malcolm Colin Carmichael. Malcolm's daughter Mary Jane Carmichael Williamson was Bobby's grandmother.
