I am looking for information on one Francis William Hoare Symes was born in 1855, the son of Francis Hoare Symes and Janet Borland, in Walhalla, South Carolina. Francis William Hoare Symes when the war began was a member of the Walhalla State Guards in his home town of Walhalla, South Carolina, enlisting on November 27, 1861. He enlisted during the American Civil War as a Sergeant, into Company “D” of the 22nd South Carolina Confederate Infantry on January 10, 1862, under the name of William; and his first name is listed both as “William”, “Wm” and “W.M.” with his last name recorded both as “Symes”, “Sims”and “Simms”. He was later elected to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant on May 25, 1863. Francis William Hoare Symes died at 77 years of age on November 30, 1932 in Queensland, Australia.
