Paul W Mishoe was born in 1826 Horry county south Carolina. He was a farmer in the Aynor/Gallivants Ferry community. 1860 census lists Turpentine as his occupation real estate value $600. Paul Mishoe's signature appears in a document in 1857 "citizens of Horry county asking for compensation for answering their summons as jurors". In 1845 Horry County tax return Paul paid taxes on 200 acres of land. Paul married Olive (Gasque) Hucks and had several children. His daughter who was 2 in 1860 Indiana (Mishoe) Martin is my 3rd great grandmother.
Paul W Mishoe served as private in the Confederacy: South Carolina Brooks (Ficklings)(Hugers) Artillery. Only two pages exist of his service and are hard to read. This unit was not a local unit and was heavily involved in both theatres of the war. This, along with his service records suggest he was a draftee/conscript. Paul died of disease possibly pneumonia at Hood hospital in Bristol Tennessee Mach 8 1864. He was due clothing and died with $1.50 in his pocket.
Hood hospital confederate casualties were placed on the back porch of the hospital and loaded onto a wagon carried up a steep dirt trail and buried randomly in a section of a nearby hill which is now East Hill cemetery.
With help and contributions from the James Keeling Camp of SCV in Bristol Tennessee and Paul W Mishoe's 4th great-grandson Joshua Hodge- In 2021 a gravestone has been placed in the Confederate field of honor in memory for Paul W Mishoe.
"Here let men who never surrendered except to death, find a fitting resting place - in a spot overlooking the quiet hills and valleys - Here let them sleep with those who never looked upon a conqueror's flag floating over the citadels of a Sovereign State, but closed their eyes upon a still free and defiant commonwealth. Shoulder to shoulder they stood: now let them lie side by side. Confederates in life, Confederates let them be in death.
Stamp on the minds of our children principles hallowed by the blood of patriots, and lead them to gaze upon the grandest monuments that can be erected-- the headstones which mark the last resting-place of Confederate veterans"
