Campbell Douglass was a private in Company B, 25th SC Infantry, Eutaw Regiment. He was 35 years old when he was mustered in at Charleston on February 4, 1862. On July 29, 1862, he was detached to the Medical Purveyors Office as an apothecary. He extended his service on December 18, 1863, until June 1864, by special order SPO 277 from General Beauregard. He was captured at Wilmington, N.C., on February 20, 1865, and sent to Point Lookout, then Camp Hamilton Military Prison. During the war, Camp Hamilton at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, served as both a training and organizational camp for the Union Army, later becoming a prisoner-of-war camp with notoriously poor conditions. After signing the oath of allegiance, Douglass was released May 13, 1865.
Assistant Acting Surgeon John Drayton, who lived at Drayton Hall, Charleston, cared for enslaved workers who built earthen fortifications in defense of Charleston. He survived the war to live to 1912.
