I haven't been closely following the series of messages re thelocation of the cemetery for soldiers who died at Adams' Run, but I ran across an interesting account that may shed some light on the subject.

In the mid-1880's the Weekly Union Times ran a series of reminiscences of veterans who served in Union District units. Unfortunatley, only some of thei issues from tht peruiod survive. However, one from a member of the McKissick Rangers of the Holcombe Legion Cavalry Battalion (later C/7 S. C. CAV) may shed some light on the cemetery issue. The Holcombe Legion had participated in a raid on Federal positons on Edisto Island in March 1862, and skirmished with elements of the 55 Pennsylvania. Here is a portion of the account:

“We will now go back to the closing scenes on Edisto Island, on the 19th of March ’62. ….. As our troops fell back, and were passing the picket post the Federals were holding, when we advanced on them that morning, we found two Federal soldiers mortally wounded. Coil. [P. F.] Stevens had them placed on litters and brought off. Our command of dismounted men were in the rear on the retreat. We came up with the litter bearers just after they had crossed Watt’s Cut. We relieved them and took charge of one of the wounded men and carried him to the boat at Gov. Aiken’s rice mill. John Porter, Gilliam Thomas, John Faucett and myself were in the first relief. The other wounded man died on the litter, and was buried by our men at Gov. Aiken’s summer house, on Jehosse Island. His name was John Sowp. He belonged to Co. K, 55th Penn. Regiment. The man we had belonged to the same company and regiment. His name was Jonah Ritchey.

From these men we learned a good deal about the officers on the Island. The Federals had not less than 5,000 men there then, and an advance on our line had been contemplated. As we advanced across the field, in line of battle, that morning the Federal line of two Regiments fell back to another position, under cover of their heavy guns, leaving but a small force to dispute our advance, or report the strength of our column. We had only about 800 men on the Island, and about the same number, or perhaps 1,000, on Jehosse Island, ready for any emergency. We crossed with the wounded man at Gov. Aiken’s rice mill and placed him in an ambulance, and he was carried to the hospital at Adams’ Run, where he died the next day. He was buried at the church below Adams’ Run, on the road leading to White Point. I mention these facts for the satisfaction of those who may want to know the fate of the unfortunate men who fell into our hands that day. ....."

Source: Unus, “Recollections of the McKissick Rangers, by a Member, No. 5,” Weekly Union Times, 8 Oct 1886, p. 1, c. 1-4. Although not identified, it is probable that the author was Adolphus (“Dolph”) E. Fant, who served with the company, and was a physician in Union County postwar.

If the Federal who died in the hospital at Adams' Run was buried in the church cemetery (not yet identified by me), might not that cemetery have been used also for Confederates who died in the same hospital as did the prisoner?
