Trammell Warriors and Mountains That Start With K

 

This is my great grandfather William A. Hunter (1842 – 1928) and his wife Emaline Ray 1846 – 1925).

William and Emaline were born in Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina.  William’s name for about the first 25 to 30 years of his life was William A. Trammell.   (long story).

William fought in the Civil War as William A. Trammell.  During the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Marietta he was shot in the knee.  He recuperated in nearby Woodstock, Georgia, at a private home.  The people were very friendly.  In a few years he, with his family moved to Woodstock and he and Emaline spent the rest of their lives there.

 

William had a grandfather also named William Trammell.  William and his brothers fought in the Revolutionary War. During the Battle of Kings Mountain William’s arm was sliced off.  Kings Mountain is near the North Carolina and South Carolina border.

A young lady named Sarah Reynolds married him.  Some thought she married him for his military wounded pension.  When he got old and sickly Sarah Reynolds left him.

Did you noticed two men named William Trammell, during two very important domestic wars were wounded in Battles on Mountains that started with K?
