    • Commentary: DWD 4.169

      Martin V. Darwin followed in the footsteps of his father and became a farmer in York County, SC. During the Civil War, Martin enlisted in Co. B (Miller's), 12th Regt South Carolina Volunteers CSA on 13 August 1861 and by mid-September was made 2nd Sergeant of the Company.

      The 12th Regt SCV was part of Gregg's Brigade, which played a conspicuous part in the Seven Days Battle followed by the Second Battle of Manassas during which Martin became a casualty and was listed absent due to his wounds from 29 August 1862. He returned home to convalesce in York County and when he had recovered enough, he first acted as a recruiting officer in Yorkville until the middle of 1863, after which he returned to his unit as a 1st Lieutenant and served until the surrender in April 1865.

      With the return of peace, Martin married Mary Kidd on 24 April 1866 and his family is listed on the 1870 and 1880 SC census in York County (Broad River Twp). After Martin died at his home on Kings Creek, 17 Oct. 1895, at the age of 58, his wife Mary took over the household and is listed on the 1900 and 1910 SC census.
