 CAPT. HAMES was born October 23, 1836, near Jonesville. He volunteered in June, 1861 and went to Virginia as an ' independent'. Later, because of impaired health, he returned home. Soon afterwards a company of young men from his county was formed and JOHN HAMES was elected its second lieutenant. That company became B  of the 18th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers and was sent to Charleston. On the 6th of May, 1862, at Camp Guerin he was elected captain. The next month they were ordered to Virginia and in the second battle of Manassas, August 30, 1862, Captain HAMES and his brother, Sergeant C.A. HAMES, were both killed. Their bodies were brought home and rest in Gilead Cemetery, Jonesville.
