When the question of separation was submitted to the people, Lincoln polled 2,892 votes for separation and not one for no separation.

The first companies raised were four, which composed a part of Turney's First Tennessee, and one of which was raised principally in what is now More County. The others were officers as follows: <snip> Company H--Jacob Cruse, captain... <snip> These companies left Fayetteville April 29, 1861 for Winchester where the reiment was organized.. and were with Turney's First Tennesee Confederates form the beginning of the war to it's end. This is all.... hope we got lucky.
