Shadrack Vaught requests Sick Furlough (Civil War)
Shadrack Vaught is approved for additional sick furlough after he is severely injured in the Battle of Sharpsburg (Maryland).
According to Billy Vaught (William Joseph Vaught, Jr):
He was severely wounded in his right arm during the war and never could use it completely afterwards. He would hold his shirt sleeve with his left hand and could move his right hand to write. He taught school and later became a judge in Horry County.

To Any Lawful Constable
Whereas Benjamin Warren personally appeared
before me and after being duly sworn, deposeth
and saith that he believes and has good
reasons to believe that Isham Hemmingway
did, on or about the first day of June 1869
in the County aforesaid at or [illegible] he said
[illegible] residence did feloniously take away
and keep confined in his possession and
alter the mark of two head of his. The
said [defrauded?] pigs the value of five dollars
against the Peace and dignity of the State.
These are therefore to command you
forthwith to arrest the said Isham Hemmingway
and bring him personally before me or some
other magistrate to be dealt with accordingly
to law.
Given under my hand and seal this seventeenth day of November, 1869

WJ Vaught, WWII
WWII--Timberwolves
Germany
According to WJ's son (William Joseph "Billy" Vaught, Jr.):
The Timberwolves were involved in 195 consecutive days of frontline combat, more than any division in WWII. They were at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge being the first to cross the Mark River where the Germans had massed knowing if the Allies got across the Mark to the Maas, the Motherland would be in grave danger and the end would be in sight. Daddy was one of 103 men pretty much hand picked to be the first to cross the river. This is where he was shot in the chest. Said when they got across they were so close to the German camps they could actually hear them talking and see them strike matches lighting cigarettes.
