A Short War HMory of Th. Saadan Family of BornwoO Dutrict,” ’61*6S. (Written for Tbo People-Sentinel by Dr. R. W. Senders.j iboot 1766, Mows Sanders, Sr., and Uhaniel Sanders (from England vi a Virginia) received grants of land from King George and settled within a few miles of the present site of Barnwell C. H. Nathaniel’s tract was on the north side of Saltkehat* chie, east and north of Morris’ Ford. According to a family tradition he owned land that extended up Turkey Creek and included a part of tha ter ritory now occupied by the city of Barnwell. Moses (I think that was his name) had about 900 acres along Saltkehatchie, south and west of Morris’ Ford. He and his descend ants added various tracts along or near to Saltkehatchie, from several miles above Morris’ Ford almost to Buford’s Bridge—in all, a distance of 12 to 15 miles. So far as tradition has it, Moses Sanders, Sr., had two sons—William and Moses, Jr. Then Moses Jr., had three sons, namely, “Moses No. 3,” John and William. John had no sons to give to the war. Moses sent in one and William one. All supported the war. The other seven “Old Sanderses” (brothers) were Wilson, James Char les, Stephen, Jesse C., Seaborn and John K. Wilson and John K. sup ported the conflict but had no sons to send in. > Five sons of James S. were sol diers, namely, William T. f Jesse M., |oses N., Fred J. and B. O’Neal. If Stephen S. (or his widow) six irt soldiers, namely, William J., Richard T., George, Samuel and Au gustus. Charles S. sent in three, namely, Wilson, Jones and Henry. Seaborn S. gave in three, namely, Stephen M., Edmund B. and Robert W. Jesse C. sent in two, namely Joseph and William. “Moses S. No. 3” sent in one, name ly, William. William S. (or hit widow) gave one. namely, John. Hence we And 21 “Sanders Boys” were Confederate soldiers. Some of these 21 were in Hagood's Regiment, some in Lamar’s (artillery), some in Colcock's (calvary), while one or two were under Col. David Rice in State •enrice. Besides the 21 named above, bear ing the family name of “Sanders,” there were nearly or quite 20 other relatives (sons-in-law, cousins, etc.) who fought through the War Between the States. I will try to name the entire num ber below, giving their rank from captain down to privates. The ma jority served as privates. The total list (in giving which I am compelled to rely on my personal memory) is aa follows: Officers—Thomas Sanders, captain; Fred J. Sanders, captain and lieuten ant; Richard Thomas Sanders, lieut enant; Stephen M. Sanders, sergeant; William J. Sanders, sergeant; Moses M. Sanders, corporal; Jesse M. San ders, corporal. Privates—George Sanders, Samuel Sanders, Augustus Sanders, Joseph Sanders, J. F. Sanders, “Billie” San ders, Wilson Sanders, Jones M. San ders, Henry *J. Sanders, William San ders, Jr. John Sanders, Jr., B. O’Neal Sanders, Edmund B. Sanders, Robert W. Sanders. (Total 31.) Sons-in-law and other kindred— Reubin Hickson, Thomas Hickson, Whitsel Hickson, L. R. Connelly, Wil liam Jenkins, George Brunson, Rich ard C Creech Greene Harrison, Bob- ert A. Harrison, John Pressey, William Pressey, Mallory Cave, Barney Cave, Samuel Peacock, “Wittle Peacock, the “Zorn Boys” (number unknown.) The present writer offers the above to The People-Sentinel in no boastful spirit, but as an item relating to The War—a fact of history. Probably there are other families of old “Barn well District” that could make a simi- lar showing. I know that the said section of our State made a record of honor unsurpassed by any other in the war. The patriotism, courage, de votion and sacrifice of her sons—of ficial and private—will challenge com parison with any region of the South. The following were killed in battle: Wilson Sanders, Augustus Sanders, Reubin Hickson. (Edmund B. San ders was badly wounded.) Died of disease: Capt. Wm. Thoa. Sanders, Lt. Richard Thomas Sanders, George Sanders, Samuel Sanders, Moses N. Sanders (in prison), William Jenkins (in prison). Other fatalities I do not remember. There may have been others wounded. If not, the fact is truly remarkable, as all whom I have mentioned went through the whole or part of the struggle, going in according to age. Most of them volunteered at the very opening of the war.

France has celebrated the centenary of the Invention by one of her citlzena of the sewing machine. It is claimed that It was M. Barthelemy Thlmon- nier, a native of Arbresle, In the Rhone, who first conceived the Idea of making a machine do the work of band-driven needles, writes the Parts correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. Thlmonnler was s tailor, bat, once he began to work on his Idea, he be came so engrossed In it that he neg lected his own business to the point of rain, and many of his neighbors roundly declared that he was a mad man. He persevered in his experi ments, which were the more difficult because he had not eveu-an element ary knowledge of mechanics, and in 1890 took out his first patent. An inspector of mines who happened to be visiting the region at that time realised the great potentiality of Thl- monnler s Invention, and Installed him in a workshop In Parts.
