Notes for ROBERT SHIELDS BOATWRIGHT:
Robert was the son of Abijah and Rachel Davis Boatwright. He was born in the Friendship community of Marion County, SC. He grew up helping his father on the farm. He married his cousin, Loula Janet Davis in 1865.
When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in Co I, 21st Reg't South Carolina Infantry. On July 10, 1863 he was wounded in the left leg on Morris Island, SC during the first land assault against Battery Wagner. He was taken prisoner by the Union forces under the command of Brigadier General Quincy A. Gillmore. His leg was amputated on July 13th by Union Army surgeons. On July 17th, his leg was reamputated at the US Army Hospital at Hilton Head Island, SC. He was eventually exchanged for Union troops held prisoner by Confederate forces.
As a result of his disability, he was no longer able to farm, so he became a blacksmith. He shod horses and mules for others in exchange for their working his fields.
Even though he only had one leg, he was known as a mans man and he was strong as an ox. He would put his foot in a bucket, to give himself balance, pick up his blacksmith anvil and sling it over his shoulder." - David Boatwright, great-grandson
Robert S. Boatwright, CSA - wounded at Morris Island, South Carolina, captured July 1863,
lost a leg. Applied for pension on October 10, 1919 for service in company K, First Artillery
Regiment, and in Company I, 21st Infantry Regiment.
