Captain Perryman with his company, the “Secession Guards,” volunteered for the Confederate service before the other companies, and left for Virginia on April 28th and joined the Second South Carolina Regiment.  Captain Bland took his place with his company in the regiment as Company A.

The companies of the Seventh came together as a regiment at the Schutzenplatz, near Charleston, on the 16th of April.  In about two weeks it was ordered to Edgefield District at a place called Montmorenci, in Aiken County.  While here a company came from Edgefield County near Trenton, under Captain Coleman, and joined the regiment.  But this company failed to enlist.

The Seventh Regiment elected as officers:  Colonel, Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefield District; lieutenant Colonel, Robert A. Fair, of Abbeville; Major, Emmet Seibles, of Edgefield; Adjutant, D. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville.  All the staff officers were appointed by the Colonels until the transfer to the Confederate service; then the medical department was made a separate branch, and the Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons were appointed by the Department.  Colonel Bacon appointed on his staff:  B.F.  Lovelass, Quartermaster; Fred Smith, Commissary; afterwards A.F.  Townsend.

Surgeon Joseph W. Hearst resigned, and A.R.  Drogie was made Surgeon in his stead, with Dr. G.H.  Waddell as Assistant Surgeon.  A.C.  Stallworth, Sergeant Major, left for Virginia about the first of June and joined the Second a few days afterwards.
