Born June 29, 1803, Charleston, SC. Military History. — Cadet at the Military Academy, Sep. 1, 1818, to July 1, 1822, when he was graduated and promoted in the Army to Bvt. Second Lieut., 4th Infantry, July 1, 1822.

Died, Nov. 27, 1828, at Franklin, Ten.:a Aged 25. Buried, St. Paul's Episcopal Church Cemetery, Pendleton, SC. |
a On Lt. Wragg's tombstone — from which also the birth data I give above — we read that he died in Haywood County, NC. The discrepancy in Cullum's Register is probably accounted for by the fact that parts of Haywood County and a large area immediately to the west of it, now in Tennessee, were once claimed for the State of Franklin. (The town of Franklin, TN has nothing to do with it, on the other hand; it's far to the west, in the center of today's State.)
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
