8-785. JAMES BOATWRIGHT (BURRELL THOMAS4, JAMES3, AMBROSE2, Not Yet Determined1) was born 18 Jan 1833 in Ridge Spring, Edgefield County, South Carolina, and died 13 Sep 1896 in Monetta, Edgefield County, South Carolina. He married (1) REBECCA HARRIETT KENNERLY 05 Mar 1857 in Edgefield County, South Carolina, daughter of ELI KENNERLY and MARTHA BOATWRIGHT. She was born 1835 in Richland County, South Carolina, and died Oct 1866 in Edgefield County, South Carolina. He married (2) AGNES LOUISE STROHECKER 23 Feb 1869 in Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina, daughter of JOHN STROHECKER and HENRIETTA MOORE. She was born 08 Oct 1845 in Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina, and died 07 Apr 1913 in Monetta, Edgefield County, South Carolina.
We record the death of Capt. James Boatwright, Company B, Fourteenth South Carolina Regiment, McGowan’s Brigade, of Ridge Spring, Edgefield County, South Carolina. He was born in Columbia, South Carolina, January 18, 1833, and died September 13, 1896. His grandfather Boatwright, for whom he was named, was one of the earliest settlers of Columbia, and one of its wealthiest and most prominent citizens. To his mother’s people were granted in colonial times most of the Ridge lands of Edgefield County, South Carolina. His great-grandfather Watson was an officer in the revolutionary war, and was buried with military honors.
An uncle of Capt. Boatwright’s uniformed a company of Hampton’s Legion, C. S. A. It was originally known as the Watson Guards.
Capt. Boatwright was well educated. He was a cadet at the South Carolina Military Academy at Charleston. At the age of twenty seven years he left his wife and child on a lonely, isolated plantation and went as lieutenant. In the battle of Ox Hill. Va., the captain was wounded and resigned, when Lieut. Boatwright became captain. He had many narrow escapes from death. His first service was on the coast of South Carolina. The Yankee gun boats were shelling Port Royal. He was standing in the road and saw the shell coming. Fully expecting to be killed, he turned sidewise; the shell passed him, blackening and bruising his limbs and tearing off the skirt of his new Jeans coat, the cloth of which had been woven on his mother's plantation. This shell killed four men.
At the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox, Va., Capt. Boatwright stuck his sword up in an old stump and made his way home on a black horse which had been captured from the Federal army at Spottsylvania. It belonged then to Dr. Hugo, surgeon of the Fourteenth Regiment.
This picture of Capt. Boatwright was taken several years after the war. He was twice married, and left seven sons and four daughters.
The home life of Capt. Boatwright was beautiful. He loved his home beyond all places on earth; his wife and children constituted his world. He was a man of few words, no pretenses, sincere, and unostentatious. He was to his children a companion and friend. In middle life he enlisted under the banner of the cross in the Protestant Episcopal Church.
