George Washington Wingo
"Among those deserving of special notice of the Wingo family connection is George Washington Wingo, son of Burrel and Delilah (Foster) Wingo, who was born July 5th, 1838, and died of consumptive disease, contracted in the army, February , 1870. He was raised on his father's farm and attended the schools of his neighborhood, some of which the writer also attended. he was much associated with him in his schoolboy days, and can testify to the genial and excellent traits of chacter with which by nature he was happily endowed.
He was a sergeant in Company C, 13th Regiment, S. C. V., commanded by Captain John W. Carlisle. In this battle-scarred company, which has left an unimpeachable record behind it, he was among the foremost as a true and valiant solder, ready at all times to discharge every duty which confronted him. He was in quite all the battles in which his company was engaged, and never was known to shirk the post of danger or responsibility. Some months before the close of the war he was captured and imprisoned, where he was held until its close. Returning home it was found that he had contracted a consumptive disease, from which he never recovered.
Some time before or during the war he married Mary, daughter of Edward Ballenger. By this marriage two children survive, viz.: Rhoda, wife of Dr. Wm. H. Chapman, near Brannon, S. C., a prominent and influential citizen and physician in Spartanburg County; and Stewart Wingo, well known as a progressive business man, and resident of Spartanburg City."
