Consolidated with Co. "G" when the regiment was consolidated. The first record of this regiment found in the Official Record was dated May 14, 1863, at which time the 5th East Tennessee Cavalry, with 97 effectives, was shown in a list of the effectives in the District of Central Kentucky. On June 30, the 5th East Tennessee Cavalry, Colonel Jesse H. Strickland, was reported in the 2nd Brigade, 4th Division, XXIII Army Corps, Department of the Ohio. On July 5, 1863, at the time of Brigadier General John H. Morgan's raid into Ohio, Major General George L. Hartsuff, Commanding at Lexington, Kentucky, reported: "The 5th Tennessee Cavalry have no sabres or pistols. Can they be sent immediately about 300 of each?" At the time of Colonel John S. Scott's raid into Kentucky with a brigade of Confederate cavalry, McFall's, Galyon's and Lane's companies, under Major M. Sawyers, left Lexington July 29 as part of the troops under Colonel W. P. Sanders, and took part in the fighting which resulted in Scott's repulse and withdrawal into Tennessee. On July 31, the 5th Tennessee Cavalry (four companies) was again reported in the same brigade. The fourth company was probably Captain Kirk's. On August 6, 1863, Brigadier General S. P. Carter was given command of the 4th Cavalry Division, and the 5th Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry Regiment was assigned to the 2nd Brigade, under Brigadier General E. H. Hobson. The 2nd Brigade was ordered to rendezvous at Glasgow, Kentucky. Those men fit to march from the four companies under Major Sawyers arrived at Glasgow on August 14; at Celina, Tennessee, August 21; skirmished near Montgomery, Tennessee, August 30; and entered Knoxville September 1, 1863, as the advance of the forces under Major General Ambrose E. Burnside. On August 31, 1863 they were reported as the 8th Tennessee Cavalry (four companies) Major John M. Sawyers, in the 2nd Brigade, 4th Division. They are sometimes referred to as the 1st Battalion, or Sawyers' Battalion, 8th Tennessee Cavalry. Those men unfit to march when this battalion left for Glasgow remained at Camp Nelson under Captain F. M. McFall. While there, other companies were organized, and all of them, under Lieutenant Colonel Thomas J. Capps, left Camp Nelson for Cumberland Gap as part of a brigade commanded by Colonel John F. DeCourcy. They were referred to by Colonel DeCourcy as the 8th Tennessee Cavalry, when, on August 24, at Crab Orchard, Kentucky, he reported: "The 8th Tennessee Cavalry will probably be here tonight. The cavalry and infantry are principally composed of raw, undisciplined troops." Although Colonel Jesse H. Strickland was reported as commanding the regiment on June 30, and again on July 31, 1863, he seems never to have commanded it while in the field, and he disappeared from the records at this time.

Also, if he was on the 1890 list does that mean he was still alive in 1890? Is it possible that he died 7-24-65 and that is why his muster out date is not that of the 4th. Cav?

Hi Wanda I am the one who sent you that one website of the man who had the uniforms for all the wars and I am surprised he wasn't able to identify your Thompson's uniform, but as you said if the picture was old and worn out. With both sides having the same regiments or companies, it is hard to know. Let me do a little more researching also and see what I can find. I found this website with some Thompson's listed, but not a Richard. It looks like the 4th Calvary was Confederate if they were from Tennessee, the 4th Calvary from the Union side seems to be more recruiting from the east. This is the website I found on this information _http://www.tngenweb.org/marshall/war/4thCal2.html_ (http://www.tngenweb.org/marshall/war/4thCal2.html) Here is another website about the 4th calvary and 8th and it shows a reunion picture in 1892 of those who served, what a wonderful picture. _http://www.tngenweb.org/marshall/war/4thCal.html_ (http://www.tngenweb.org/marshall/war/4thCal.html) I also found this on Ancestry Name: R Thompson Side Served: Confederacy State Served: Tennessee Service Record: Enlisted as a Private. Enlisted in _Company C, 4th Cavalry Regiment Tennessee_ (http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?&ti=0&db=hdsregiment&f0=1346&f11=Confederacy) . Sources: 425 I will keep digging around to see if I can find more information. When I saw your Martha in the 1860 census it showed a Bristhand Thompson as head of household. After your question about the 1890 census showing your Thompson, I went back and checked my great-great uncle and it did show his name listed and not his widow. On the same page it did show another name and underneath it had his widow's name listed. I was given the information my great-great uncle died in 1883 in Hawkins County, Tennessee and he is buried in his wife's family area of the cemetery so that does have me confused. When looking at his injury, he was injured during the civil war by a wagon rolling over him. I tried looking for Richard Thompson, but with no luck so far, but will keep looking. Do you know anyone or do you have a photograph program that you can scan the picture and clean up some of the scratches, etc., if not, I have one and if you would like to send me the picture, I can put it in my photoshop and see if I can clean it up a bit for you.

Wanda Try this website below about the 4th Tennessee calvary. Did Richard Thompson serve with the Confederates or the Union? I am assuming that he was with the Confederate army, you never said, that would help. Also which state did he live in at the time of his joining or being signed up for the civil war? Again, I am assuming Tennessee, but if you know where he lived at the time, that would be of great help. Some people were mustered out earlier then the end of the regiment sometimes due to either injury or something else or was captured as a prisoner, etc.. This website does have the 4th Tennessee calvary listed but I didn't see Richard Thompson's name, but that doesn't mean he didn't serve under them. Maybe a person on this website may be able to help you also. On this website, I did find an R.A. Thompson who applied for a pension, but it shows him in the 7th Infantry. _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnsumner/sumnwars.htm#civil_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnsumner/sumnwars.htm#civil) Here is another website for civil war for Tennessee. _http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/3680/cw/cw-tn.html_ (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/3680/cw/cw-tn.html) Here is a website that shows Lucinda Thompson, a widow, receiving $8.00 per month who lives in Trousdale County, Tennesse, it shows the allowance starting in Dec. 1881. _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnsumner/1883pensioners.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnsumner/1883pensioners.htm) If you have any other information on this person, please provide it as there are many Thompson's listed and some are listed just as R. Thompson, just knowing the state where he lived prior to the civil war. I also find the same information as another person had provided you about Richard Thompson in the 4th calvary and listed Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee in 1890. That is a good question about the 1890 Veteran's census, as when I went to pull up my great-uncle, it shows him listed on the 1890 Veteran's census having served in the Civil War, but someone sent me information that he died in 1883 with his wife receiving his pension and it seem she should be listed not him, maybe they send me the wrong year, I will have to redo my research on him. Maybe someone out there would be able to answer that question as I would like to know that as well. Good luck and I understand your frustration, we all have been there, with most of the 1890 U.S. census burned, it makes it hard to pinpoint people from 1880 to 1900 most of the time.

Kay, thank you. part of my problem is that I don't know for sure if he was confederate or union. I was hoping someone could tell by his uniform in the picture I have of him. However, so far, I haven't found anyone that can tell because they say the picture is so old and worn. He lived in Bradley County,Tn. in 1860 but in 1870 his wife and children are on the Rhea county, Tn. census without him. His wife's name was Martha. I am not sure that Richard was his first name but that is how he is listed on the 1860 census. I think maybe it was a middle name and that is why I am having trouble finding him. I am certain he was killed right after the war. The story goes that my greatgrandmother, Eliza Jane Thompson Perry, saw him killed by the bushwhackers. She would have been probably from age 5 to 8 because she was born in 1858. Another one of my problems is that I do not know Martha's maiden name. My family has looked for years and some have put info. on the internet that they could not support and so far, we have nothing concrete other than we know the last name of Thompson, Martha's first name, that they did live in Bradley Co. ,Tn. had the 3 girls and that he died before 1870. Thanks, I am going to start searching the sites you have sent. Wanda I just can't seem to get a break. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Kaysb@aol.com> To: <4th-tennessee-cavalry@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 5:32 PM Subject: Re: [4TH-TENNESSEE-CAVALRY] Civil War Soldier's Uniforms, etc. > Wanda > > Try this website below about the 4th Tennessee calvary.

I found this website on uniforms and the person who owns the website was very helpful in describing a uniform I was puzzled about, so he may be able to help you. There are many many websites on military uniforms as well, unfortunately I didn't save them all, just this one.

How would one identify a 4th. Tenn. Cav. Soldier? Special markings on the hat, how the uniform looked, etc.? Is there a place on the internet that I should go to find out about the uniforms, etc. of the different units? Thank you.

It appears that the body of the message I sent on 25 Oct did not come when it was re-transmitted by rootsweb. I'll try 'one more time' - Bill Allen West Bend, WI Wanda, The 1890 veterans census or survey was, by definition, a survey of Union veterans (although a few Confederates slipped in due to confusion in some locations). Therefore, your Richard Thompson was virtually certain to be Union. Also, following are unit listings from Bradley Co TN; & the Union 4th Cavalry, Company E was a Bradley Co Union unit. BRADLEY Confederate 5TH-MCCLELLAN-CAV, CO A, BECAME A, 2ND ASHBY REG 1ST-ROGERS0 CAV, CO C, BECAME H, 63RD INF 1ST-ROGERS0 CAV CO I, BECAME D, 5TH CAV 29TH INF, CO A 36TH INF, CO B, C, D, E, F, AND G 37TH INF, CO G 43RD INF, CO I 62ND INF, CO A AND E --- Union 1ST CAV, CO F, I, K AND L 3RD CAV, CO G 4TH CAV, CO E 5TH CAV, CO A 10TH CAV, CO E AND I 5TH MI, CO A THROUGH K 5TH INF, CO G If you go to this site - http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ under 'soldiers', you can search for names recorded in the the compiled service records. I find the following in the Union 4th Cavalry, Company E: Asbury C. Thompson John Thompson John H. Thompson Timothy L. Thompson John Tompson The problem with searching this site is that it doesn't allow for spelling variations; so if there is some slight mis-spelling, you don't see it. You can see a regiment history & a complete name listing for the Union 4th Cavalry regiment by going to the 'Regiments' sections at this site; however, you can only see 20 names/page, starting with A, and there are over 1900 names in the regiment. (You used to be able to download a complete regiment listing in Excel format at this site, but they've removed that feature.) Easier yet, just go to this site which is dedicated to the Union 4th Cavalry: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tn4cav/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~tn4cav/roster4e.html As you may note, there is a 'Richard Thomas' listed in Company E, although he was from McMinn Co. Have you checked to see if your Richard received a pension? Note that the discharge date of 7-24-1865 doesn't 'fit' the discharge date of the regiment. Not a certain sign, but it is a clue that something isn't fitting.
