I looked for over 2 years for my G-Grandfather Dixon Crossno Lindsey who my father said died in the Civil war in 1862 at shilo without sucess in any of the above units or any other Tenn unit altho I knew he was from the crooked Creek area (about 2 miles from Danville crossing) until I went to Washington D.C. to the NAT. Archives where I searched in vain until I lucked upon a young man who worked there who ask "if I had Looked under the Confederate outfits", in a seperate file for men and units NOT ASSIGNED to any state as they were Men from several states. and there I found he joined the Conf.on Jan 1,1862 at Danville,Tn. his unit was called the TENNESSEE VOLINTEER CALVARY 2nd div. CO "I" OF THE 1st CONF.Cavalry which had men from Tn.,KY.,AR.,&MISS.and they were in TRAINING on FEB,6,1862 when Fort Donaldson was attacted and were told to guard the R.R.Bridge at Danville which they did until a Union Gunboat forced them to retreat to Paris ,Tn. where they pertisipated in the "Battle for Paris ",on March 10,1862 and on april 2,1862 were ordered to report to Corrent,MISS and in rout on april 7,1862 Heard the Guns at Shilo but got there about 7 p.m. to late to fight that day and were assigned to Bedfort Forrest Cav. to protect the Retreat on the 8th & 9th they saw several skermashes and had several men injered. (all this is from other men in the 1st conf. Cav. Qustineer's letters and not in the Officional record). on April 28,1862 Duixon was missing from muster with a note "sich leave Danville", and the 1866 court record in Camden,Tn.for his widow states he died in Benton Co. in MAY 1862/3 it is not known how. The point is dont overlook the CONFEDERATE UNITS. if yours is not in any state unit.gabbie
