}} Manson Sherrill (Manse) Jolly (died 1869) was the fifth son of Joseph Moorhead Jolly and Anna Cole Sherrill. He had six brothers and four sisters, one of whom died in infancy. Jolly was known for his brutal revenge against the Union soldiers stationed in Anderson, South Carolina after the close of the Civil War. Jolly's furlough papers describe him at twenty years of age as "six feet four inches high, ruddy complexion, blue eyes, red hair, and by profession a farmer, born in Anderson district in the state of S.C." [1] Five of Jolly's brothers were killed during the war, and the sixth committed suicide, possibly from the effects of the war. Upon returning home to find his town taken over by the men he had been fighting, Jolly swore an oath to kill five "Yankee" soldiers for every brother he lost during the war.[2] Jolly more than made good on his oath. He reportedly hid out in the forests surrounding Anderson, and preyed upon the Union soldiers stationed nearby. Jolly used guerrilla warfare tactics, which he would have been familiar with from his experience as a scout during the American Civil War.[3] When it became too dangerous for him to stay in Anderson, Jolly fled to Cameron, Texas to his Sherrill relatives in 1867 where he died by drowning two years later while attempting to cross a swollen stream.[4][5][6] References1. ^Manse Jolly furlough paper {{DEFAULTSORT:Jolly, Manse}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sandersweb.net/ed/Manse-Ride/ManseMyth-Ride.html|title=Manse Jolly Myth - The Big Ride|work=sandersweb.net}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sandersweb.net/ed/MSJ1932article.htm|title=Manse Jolly Articles - The State Newspaper - 1932|work=sandersweb.net}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sandersweb.net/ed/Manse-Article/ManseFactsAndFiction.htm|title=The Manse Jolly Story, fact and fiction|work=sandersweb.net |first=Ed |last=Sanders}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sandersweb.net/ed/Manse-death/Manse-Death.html|title=Manse Jolly's Death|work=sandersweb.net}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://andersonuniversity.libguides.com/c.php?g=220922&p=1466190|title=Special Collections: Manse Jolly Collection|work=Thrift Library Research Guides |publisher=Anderson University}} 7 : People of South Carolina in the American Civil War|1869 deaths|American folklore|American murderers|People from Anderson, South Carolina|People from Cameron, Texas|Confederate States Army soldiers |
