Edward Jackson McDaniel, son of James Hemphill McDaniel and the former Miss Janet Ann Martin, was born in Chester County, South Carolina on April 19th 1833. His parents were both from original pioneer families of the area.
At the start of the Civil War, on April 11th 1861, like his brothers, E. J. enlisted as a Private in Company F, 6th Regiment South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. Shortly after her enlisted, the 6th South Carolina Infantry was ordered from Columbia, South Carolina to Richmond, Virginia. It remained in Richmond and was ordered to join the Confederate Army of the Potomac, arriving at the battlefield of Manassas only hours after the fighting ended there on July 21, 1861. The unit served in that Army until early in 1862. It next served in the Department of Northern Virginia. Troops in that command were absorbed into the Army of Northern Virginia in the spring of 1862. The 6th South Carolina Infantry served in that Army until the summer of 1863. It then served briefly in the Department of Richmond before returning to the Army of Northern Virginia. The unit, as part of Longstreet's Corps, moved to Georgia in the summer of 1863 and served in the Army of Tennessee and, later, in the Department of East Tennessee. In the spring of 1864 the regiment returned to service in the Army of Northern Virginia, serving with that Army for the duration of the War.
Private E. J. McDaniel was wounded at the Battle of Fort Harrison, also known as Chaffin's Farm on September 30th 1864. His wound consisted of a gunshot to the left leg; which broke his thigh broken. He was mustered out and sent home to recover.
Edward Jackson McDaniel would later die of his wounds on February 1st 1865 at the age of 31 years, 9 months & 13 days. He was laid to rest at Hopewell along side his father and two brothers, William & Joseph; who had die earlier during the war.
*********
I believe this to be the final resting place of Private E. Jackson McDaniel, Co. F, 6th SCVI who died of wounds at home on February 1st, 1865. He was wounded in Battle at 7 Pines in 1862 and again at Fort Harrison in 1864.
He is listed in R.W. Kirkland Jr's Book "Broken Fortunes" and in the "Chester County Confederate Compendium" by Guevarra & Prince as having died of wounds at home. They agree in all aspects other than there is no mention of Ft Harrison in "Broken Fortunes".
