Many changes took place in this regiment, some almost immediately after the election and others in the battle that followed in a few weeks.

Captain Davidson died in two weeks after his election from disease, and was succeeded by Lieutenant Thomas W. Gary, who had during the first twelve months been Captain Davidson’s Orderly Sergeant.  It seems the position of Orderly Sergeant was quite favorable to promotion, for nearly all the Orderlies during the first twelve months were made either Captains or Lieutenants.

Lieutenant Colonel Garlington being killed at Savage Station, Major Rutherford was promoted to that position, while Captain Maffett was made Major and Lieutenant Herbert Captain in his stead of Company C.

Captain Hance, of Company A, being killed at Fredericksburg, First Lieutenant Robert Richardson became Captain.

Lieutenant R.H.  Wright became Captain of Company E after the promotion of Nance to Major in the latter part of the service.

Captain Williams, of Company F, was killed, and Lieutenant Wm. Deal made Captain and commanded at the surrender.  There may have been other Captains of this company, but no data at hand.

John W. Watts became Captain of Company G after the promotion of Captain Todd to Major and Lieutenant Colonel.

Captain Summer being killed at Fredericksburg, Lieutenant G.S.  Swygert became Captain, was disabled and resigned, and D.A.  Dickert became Captain and commanded to the end.

Captain Langston, of Company I, being killed, Lieutenant Jarred Johnston became Captain, disabled at Chickamauga.

Company K was especially unfortunate in her commanders.  Captain Langford was killed at Savage Station; then Lieutenant L.P.  Foster, son of Lieutenant Colonel Foster, was promoted to Captain and killed at Fredericksburg.  Then W.H.  Young was made Captain and killed at Gettysburg.  Then J.H.  Cunningham became Captain and was killed at Chickamauga.  J.P.  Roebuck was promoted and soon after taken prisoner.  First Lieutenant John W. Wofford commanded the company till the surrender, and after the war became State Senator from Spartanburg.

Captain N.F.  Walker was permanently disabled at Savage Station, returned home, was appointed in the conscript bureau, and never returned to active duty.  He still retained his rank and office as Captain of Company D, thereby preventing promotions in one of the most gallant companies in Kershaw’s Brigade.
