Manigault, Edward, 1817-1874
Son of Joseph Manigault (1763-1843) of Charleston, S.C. He served in the Mexican War, and afterwards as a South Carolina state ordnance officer, and a railroad engineer. In 1863 he was appointed a major in the Confederate Army and given command of an artillery unit called the Siege Train. In Feb. 1865, Manigualt was in command of a small infantry force of 161 men who defended Grimball's Causeway (at or near James Island, S.C.) against a much larger Federal force.
