Individual:
William Turner Thorn served as a Lieutenant in the Confederate army in M
cGowan's Brigade (formerly Gregg's Brigade) in the Thirteenth Regiment. He was wounded at Second Manassas.
Letter from Colonel A.C. Haskell, 27 September, 1901:
Dear Miss Thorn:
I received your letter of the 21st and I assure you it is a pleasur e to me to pay tribute to your noble father, though I feel that words can in no sense convey an adequate idea of his noble character and faithful service.
He was a lieutenant Co. D. in the 7th S.C. Cavalry, which I had the h onor to command the last years of the war.
The regiment was of fine material and he was in a group of noble fe llows where a man had to show a rare ability to win the rank that he had among them. He was a superb soldier in every sense of the word. He was loved and honored by his associates, his comrades and his commander. The following was written of him: 'He was a patriot, a gentleman and a superb type of the Confederate soldier.'
Sincerely and tru ly yours,
A.C. Haskell, Col 7 S .C. Cavalry"
