SC1190

CSA #1 Stone 2 Position 40 (4-Margin but close top and bottom) barely tied by a grid cancel with a full strike of the Yorkville SC CDS 27 FEB (1862). Coarse brown paper cover with Military Address to Lieut I. D. Witherspoon, Co A, 12th Regmt SCV (South Carolina Volunteers), Green Pond, Colleton Dist (SC). Part of side back flap missing on the right where opened. Very clean appearing cover. Lieut Isaac Donnom Witherspoon (1833-1901) entered service 9/1/1861 as the 2nd Lieut of Co A 12th SC Inf. The regiment joined the ANV in May 1862 as part of Gregg's Brigade, A.P. Hill's Division. Prior to that, the regiment was assigned to the Department of South Carolina. From May 1862 on, the 12th SC Inf took part in all the major actions of the ANV. However, records of SC soldiers are notoriously sketchy. So there is no detailed record of Lieut Witherspoon's activities, but he did survive the war. The 1860 census shows I. D. Witherspoon as a lawyer in York SC.
