Took up a charge against Br. William Kirby for contempt to the church in staring away, and refusing obedience to his order in taking the gospel ??? and we appoint Brethren Samuel White, Johnson Coggins and Jehu Wells to cite him to our next meeting - 
Dismissed

**November ?? 1859**  Johnson is now deceased...
Johnson Coggins is deceased on Nov 27, 1859 - there is NO mention of his death
in Nov/Dec 1859, in the weekly Church minutes, I am sure this is an oversight, I have not 
found an Obituary, did find his Will and Estate records.  Johnson was active during his
membership, in the duties of the church, and normally, these members deaths were 
mentioned in the minutes. 

Mar 05, 1884 (Wife of Johnson Coggin)
Jane (White) Coggin now deceased, not recorded in the minutes. 


Cedar Springs Baptist Church Minutes reveal,
Johnson & Jane were members, by 1832, Johnson
is mentioned along with Samuel White, Jane's 
brother, in various church duties.

Location: Spartanburg Co SC

Will add more on these minutes at a later date.
Am looking for there Received dates, for this
church, I suspect they were members until their
final days.  (more to come)

      In response to a call from President Davis, about the 1st of July, 1861, a large number of infantry companies, from all quarters of South Carolina, rendevoused at Columbia, South Carolina. Here they were placed in a camp of instruction, at Lightwoodknot Springs, about five miles from Columbia, and allowed to arrange themselves in regiments of ten companies and elect field-officers. The second regiment so formed was numbered as the Thirteenth South Carolina volunteers, and elected the following officers;

        Edwards, O. E., Colonel
        Calhoun, P. L., Colonel
        Farrow, T. Stobo, Major
         

      After a period of about three months' instruction at Lightwoodknot Springs, it was ordered to the southern coast of South Carolina, it was ordered to the southern coast of South Carolina, near Pocotaligo, where it was brigaded with the Twelfth and Fourteenth regiments, as before stated.

      In the autumn of 1861 they were ordered to the coast where they served until April 1862 when they were ordered to Virginia to serve in the Army of Northern Virginia for the remainder of the war. During that time they were in Maxcy Gregg's Brigade until he was killed at Fredericksburg. Then Samuel McGowan was placed in command of the brigade where the name changed to McGowan's Brigade.

      The 13th Regiment remained a part of the army of northern Virginia until the conclusion of the war. The 13th Regiment was present at the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. Captain John Wilson Carlisle of Company C later recalled General Custer of the Federal Army passing in front of the 13th waving a white flag as it was getting ready to go into engagement.  

      Of the 13th Regiment, 220 men were killed in battle or died of wounds.  262 died of disease and 678 men received wounds in combat.

      Missing, and supposed to have died, Thomas Lemaster.
      ========================================
      NOTES:

      W F Coggins is probably William Franklin,  J L Coggins is 
      John Lewis, I am not sure, at this time about the W M Coggins,
      David M is the 3rd son, said to have died in this conflict.

      M C Barnett, is probably Sallie J Coggins husband.  The other
      Barnett's may be related.  (Sallie is the dau. of Wm Freeman)

      Thomas Lemaster, may be related to Ralph & Elizabeth (Coggins)
      Lemaster, Eliza, the sister of Wm Freeman Coggins.
