From Happy Heritage, page 198, W. L. Lee wrote in his diary, Sat., April 3rd, 1875. "I dined today with Brother Isaac R.

Timmons. We together walked over to see Mr. W. D. McGee. Later in the day, I bonded Mr. Randelson M. Timmons

1000 acres of land at an estimated value of $25,000."

 

R. M. Timmons was a First Lt. in Company C (CULPEPPER'S LIGHT ARTILLERY) of the South Carolina First Artillery.

The SC First fired on Fort Sumter (12 Apr 1861) at the start of the Civil War. "This unit known also as Company C, Palmetto

Light Artillery, joined the Palmetto Light Artillery Battalion in November of 1861. Company C was assigned to the Department

of Mississippi and East Louisiana, in the Spring of 1863 and attached to McNair's Arkansas Brigade during Johnson's

attempt to relieve Vickburg from Jackson Mississippi. The unit was then sent to the Army of Tennessee for the fighting

at Chickamauga. It returned to the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The unit fought at Charleston,

Jackson, and Chickamauga, then served at Mobile and surrendered in May, 1865. The unit was involved in the fighting

in the Mobile area where Lt. J.L. Moses was killed in action in one of the last battles of the war. Note that some sources

list this unit as converted to heavy artillery and fighting in Defense of Charleston Harbor and into North Carolina. It is

possible that both reports are accurate but certainly Culpepper's Battery was detached and sent west in 1863. This unit

was involved with McNair's Arkansas Brigade and the Battles at Chickamauga and Blakeley where its commander was

killed in one of the last battles of the land war. " http://batsonsm.tripod.com/b/abt1.html U.D.C.:Recollections and
