J.W. Delleney or John William Delleney was a doctor from Fairfield County ,S.C. I have a copy of a photograph of him in his confederate uniform. Evans Confederate Military History Vol. V page 542 cites he "...assisted in raising a company for Confederate service,of which he was elected first lieutenant, and with which he served in all its battles until Gaines' Mill, where he was killed in action, a brave and gallant soldier." Page 62 states he was killed commanding Company B in the first assault. Writng in the Southern Advocate concerning the death of his brother and Confederate veteran J.R. Delleney, who died in 1907, J.D. Mahon wrote"...his only brother, Dr. John W. Delleney said if his country had to be whipped, he'd wanted to be shot through the head. Strange to say, his country was overpowered, and at Gaines' Mill,in 1862 in a seven days fight, in a brave charge, he was shot through the forehead. I remember distinctly hearing a letter read from Mr. Eber Rabb, Father of W. B. Rabb of Winnsboro,that no braver man than Dr. John W. Delleney had fallen in this cruel war." Dr. J.W. Delleney was buried in an unmarked grave on the battlefield at Gaines' Mill in Virginia.
