He served in the Civil War, Co D, 7th GA Inf Regt., they fought in all of the major battles.

Hiram disappeared from Union County, and cannot be found in the 1860 census, I surmise, because he left for Cobb Co GA, for a time, and served in the Civil War from that county.

1870 Hiram returnes to his roots, in Union Co SC, and marry's Amanda Layton, and by 1880, moved to Bartow Co GA, their next door neighbor is John Layton, probable brother of Amanda, Hiram remains in this county, for rest of his life. He and Amanda had 1 daughter, Bertha Fields Bobo, in 1872, by 1900, the next census, Bertha is gone, Amanda has passed away, and Hiram remarried to Margaret, 1900 census says they were married 2 years, with them are 2 children, from her prior marriage, Waltin and Albert Parker. Hiram died in 1905, the fate of Margaret, beyond this time, is not known. Neither Amanda nor Margaret are listed in the Cassville Cemetery.
