Gillem; Lieut.-Cols., Frank T. Foster, John Feudge, Majs., Alexander Thurneck, Louis Mandazy, Middleton L. Moore. This regiment was organized at Nashville, about July, 1862, and was at first known as the 1st Tenn. governor's guards. It was recruited partly in Nashville, partly in Rutherford, Wayne, Hardin and Lawrence counties, and was composed of a mixture of Americans, Irish and Germans. Until the summer of 1863 the regiment did provost guard duty at Nashville, being encamped first at Fort Gillem and afterward upon the capitol grounds. It was then ordered out to guard the Nashville & Northwestern railroad, where it remained until the spring of 1864. During the following year the regiment was divided considerably, detachments being detailed for various purposes. In the spring of 1865 it was ordered to Knoxville, at which place and at Greeneville, it remained until about July when it was returned to Nashville and mustered out. Source: The Union Army, vol. 4, p. 382 **************************************************************************************** FEBRUARY 10, 1865.--Affair near Triune, Tenn. Report of Capt. Robert H. Clinton, Tenth Tennessee Infantry. NASHVILLE, TENN., February 12, 1865. MAJ.: I have the honor to make the following report: In obedience to orders received from Maj.-Gen. Rousseau, commanding military district, I proceeded on the 9th of February at 6 p. m. with a force of thirty-five men belonging to the Fourteenth Tennessee Cavalry (of Capt. J. L. Poston' company) to the house of one Charles Luster, thirty miles south of Nashville, at which place, according to information, there was to be a ball at which some twenty guerrillas were to be present. Nine miles from this city, on the Nolensville pike, I searched the house of a widow named Patterson, whose son is a bushwhacker and said to be the leader of a gang infesting that immediate neighborhood. I found one man in bed. The guide knowing nothing of him, I did not think it necessary to arrest him. In searching the house the men found two shotguns, one Derringer pistol, and one carbine. I ordered them to be destroyed. They were loaded and ready for use. I then proceeded on the march passing through Truine at 11.30 p. m., arriving at Luster's house at 12.40 a. m. A quarter of a mile from the house I halted the command and dismounted, leaving ten men to hold the horses; with the other twenty-five I proceeded across the fields, and when within fifty yards of the house I divided the command, sending twelve men under Capt. Poston to the left. With the other thirteen I went to the right with orders to form a circle around the house upon reaching it. When within about twenty steps of the house I discovered some eight or ten negroes around a fire. One of them ran from the fire to the house to give the alarm, hallowing. "The soldiers are coming!" I had previously given orders for the men not to fire unless we were fired on. Notwithstanding that the negro had given the alarm we were so close to the house that they had not time to make their escape before we had it surrounded. They were commanded to come out. As soon as that command was given someone in the house fired upon two men who were trying to force open the back door, powder burning the face of one man and wounding the other slightly on the hand. Our men, seeing them rush out of the house, breaking through our lines, fired upon those who were trying to make their escape, and I learned the next morning that four of them were killed on the spot, and one wounded died subsequently. By morning all the dead were conveyed away, only one being found, and he was discovered on an adjacent hill a quarter of a mile from the house. I believe that the citizens had the dead and wounded conveyed away in order to conceal the fact of there having been guerrillas at the party. One McCrairy supposed to be loyal, informs us that there were certainly five guerrillas there, or at least strange men that he knows nothing of. If any innocent person was hurt, all I can say is, it was from their being in bad company. My having been ordered there to capture a party of guerrillas and finding so large a crowd of men there who fired upon us first, it was but natural that we should return the fire, and if any innocent person was hurt I cannot think that it is my fault, having obeyed the orders I received, and performed my duty. On the road back on the night of the 10th about two miles this side of Triune in turning a hill we encountered a band of seven mounted guerrillas about 600 yards off. We gave chase and at one time nearly overtook them, but, they being on fresh horses and ours completely jaded, after a chase of four miles I abandoned them and returned to Nashville. I brought in four prisoners, but upon investigation I turned two of them loose, retaining the other one of whom, E. F. Haynes, being charged with guerrillaing and pointing out Union men and urging upon Hood's men to burn their horses and hang them; the other, Albert Rutledge, being charged as accessory to the murder of a Union man named Hibbs. In conversing with the citizens I found but very little Union sentiment, a disregard for their oaths and a disposition to harbor and protect the guerrillas, and especially so in the case of the Widow Patterson, nine miles from Nashville, who has a son marauding in her neighborhood. I have the honor, major, to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. H. CLINTON, Capt., Tenth Tennessee Infantry. Maj. POLK, Assistant Adjutant-Gen.

Serial No. 103.] ************************************************************************************** FEBRUARY 15-16, 1865.--Scout from Nashville on the Nolensville Pike, Tenn. Report of Capt. Robert H. Clinton, Tenth Tennessee Infantry. NASHVILLE, TENN., February 17, 1865. MAJ.: I have the honor to report that in obedience to orders received from Maj.-Gen. Rousseau, on the 15th of February, at 11 a. m., I proceeded with a force of thirty men (Capt. Poston's company Fourteenth Tennessee Cavalry) on the Nolensville pike, in search of certain guerrillas, who were committing depredations on and in the vicinity of that road. Some ten miles from town I received information from citizens coming into market that there were three bushwhackers at the next toll-gate, which was fourteen miles from the city. Having hear while out on a scout a few days previous that they were in the habit of resorting to this toll-gate, and knowing the impossibility of reaching it without being seen at some distance, I used the expedient of pressing two country wagons, dismounting eight men, and placing four in each wagon, I getting into the foremost one; then pulling the covers close down so as to entirely the men, I ordered the foremost wagon to drive up to the gate as though he was going to pay toll . I had previously given orders to the men not to fire unless they were fired upon or unless they could not halt any one who would run away from the house. As soon as the wagon halted two men came to the door and I sprang up. One of the men in a very rough manner asked me, "What do you want here?" I asked him who he was. In reply he told me that I could not come into the house, and immediately ran into the house, slamming the door after him. I jumped out of the wagon and ran to the door, forcing it open and calling to him to halt and not run or he would be shot, but before I could force the door and get through the house he had made his way out into the back yard and was running off through the corn-field. The men halted him several times, but he paid no attention to them. By the time I reached the back yards the men fired on him, and, I am sorry to say, killed him. I do not think, taking all the circumstances into consideration, that the command can be blamed for his death, for the innocent are brave as a lion, but the guilty flee from their shadow. Be that as it may, his death was a circumstance to be regretted and no one regrets it more than I do, and an article published in this morning's Dispatch stating that his life was threatened by one of the men, is entirely false and without foundation, as is, in fact, the whole article published by that paper in regard to the scout and its proceedings. After leaving the toll-gate about one mile, we discovered a man riding up the road toward us; upon reaching the hill he saw us and immediately wheeled his horse around and galloped off. I followed in full chase, ordering the men to keep up; on rising a little knoll we discovered three guerrillas about 150 yards in advance; they wheeled their horses to the left and made for a cedar thicket but we were too close upon them for any concealment and they were obliged to run, but they were no match for the old Fourteenth. We forced one of them in running 100 yards to abandon his horse; I called to some of the men behind me to take care of him and proceeded on after the other two, followed by the men as fast as their horses could carry them. After running about a mile and a half, one of the guerrillas' horses fell from exhaustion. I told the men to proceed on after the other and I would take care of the one that was down, but in the excitement they did not understand the order, I suppose. The one that fell rose, with his pistol in his hand, but was shot dead on the spot; the other made his escape, the horse of the dead man following him. We then returned to the main party that had been left under the command of Capt. Poston. Learning that the one who had been dismounted had not been captured. I took ten men and deployed them through the thicket to search for him; in about fifty yards he was discovered by one of the men, who fired on him, wounding him in the hip; we then moved toward him the men wanting to kill him, but I ordered them to take him prisoner. He gave his name as Lee, but I afterward learned that his name is Williams and that he is a notorious guerrilla and horse-thief. The name of the man who was killed was Luck, and formerly, I heard, was a merchant of Nashville. The name of the one who escape was Fost. Patterson was not of the party, as stated by the Dispatch. We then proceeded up the pike to one mile beyond Nolensville; turning to the left we camped six miles from the pike. In the morning, believing it to be a good plan to come back on the same road, we did so. At 9 o'clock we stopped for breakfast at Nolensville. As soon as the men were through and the horses had eaten some fodder, we marched down the pike to the place where we first encountered the three guerrillas the day before. At this place, finding it impossible to proceed at a fast rate with the prisoner, owing to his wound bleeding afresh, I ordered Capt. Poston to take fifteen men and procure a wagon and proceed slowly to Nashville and there turn the prisoner over so that he could get medical treatment. With the other fifteen I went over the hills, taking the trail of Fort, who escaped the day before, searching every suspicious house and cedar thicket. In searching one of these thickets I found the horse that Luck rode tied to a bush and a U. S. cavalry saddle and bridle lying by him. I have turned the horses over. In a dirt road about half a mile from the pike I received information from a lady that on that morning four bushwhackers had passed her house inquiring if there had been any "Yanks" there. One of these men was Fost; he told a negro man that he was going to leave as soon as he could get out for it was getting too hot for him. I put the negro on the horse we had captured and ordered him to guide us on the road they had taken. We were then four hours behind them. About six miles I found a man who had seen them and they threatened to take the horses he was hauling wood with. He guided us on to where they had crossed the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad about one mile above to the house of a manumit Morgan. There I pressed his son to guide us to the Murfreesborough pike, half a mile from which we met a colored woman who informed us that the men we were in chase of had captured a sutler's wagon and robbed and burned it. We pressed on with all the speed the horses could make and came up to the place where they had left. We took their trail learnig from two men who were building a fence close to where the wagon was burned that there were five of them. At several houses we heard that they had three mules leading. After following them six miles on the road to-county they made a sudden turn to the left. Meeting a young man who informed us that they were going as the thought to a wood-yard, we followed their trail to the wood going as he thought to a wood-yard, getting there two hours after them. I learned there that they charged on the choppers while they were at dinner, firing on them, giving the dirks a great scare and dispersing them all over the woods. They robbed several of the negroes and some white men. I learned that they robbed Capt. Stearnes. I saw one wagon they had turned over and heard that they had burned some but did not see them. I certify on honor that to the best of my belief and from the best information I could get, being only two hours behind them, that there were only five bushwhackers who made the attack on the wood-yard. Where the Dispatch got that got that great coc-and-bull story from about "several hundred Confederate cavalry" making their appearance within six miles of the city on the 16th instant I cannot tell, unless it was from the fertile brain of the editor, which, I fear, is ever full of, to him, pleasing visions of rebel cavalry hovering around. I can safely certify on honor that there was not the least foundation for the report. We chased the gang to within half a mile of Stone's River. Having lost some time in getting the correct trail from the wood-yard and being three hours behind them at this point, and our horses being completely tired down, having done all I could do for the present, I thought it best to return to Nashville. In conclusion I can confidently assert that there are no guerrillas at the present time, or any other force on or between the Nolensville and Murfreesborough pikes, but how long they will remain away it is impossible for me to say. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. H. CLINTON, Capt., Tenth Tennessee Infantry. Maj. POLK, Assistant Adjutant-Gen., District of Tennessee.

Hello, This is my first posting here. I found a listing in a book that listed: Oliver BURDEN John BURDEN W.H. BURDEN Listed together under the command of Capt. Joseph M. Peacher, the 49th Infantry, Company E. Found also under the same commanding officer, Company D: W. H. Burton (spelling variation of BURDEN) What I am trying to do is to determine if this is Oliver Burden who was born in South Carolina, but at the time of the War was living in Moundsville, Marshall Co VA, and who was the father of John Burden and Wade Hampton Burden, who also lived with their father in WV at War's begining. Oliver Burden b. 1826 SC, sons: John Burden b. 1840 SC, and Wade Hampton Burden b. 1844 SC. >From family records we do know that Wade Hampton Burden did serve in the War, however he stated he was UNION. However, the family began in Virginia, lived in South Carolina several generations. You would guess they would chose to serve Confederate. This is the question. Oliver Burden survived the War, died 1895 in Marshall Co WV. I do not have further information of John Burden. Wade Hampton Burden did survive the War and died in Oklahoma, but under an alias name, he changed his last name to BORIN. Is there anyone with records or books or resources concerning the unit under Peacher in order to gain further details of those 3 men listed above? Can someone advise me further? Best regards, Lilly Martin

My ggfather, Daniel Ferer/Ferrer died in Hospital #18 or #19 in Nashville about 1863. He was given a surgeon's discharge from the union army before entering the hospital. Does anyone know about the hospital and how I can find a death record/burial? Roy Stout - Mississippi

I did an inquiry on this on another site. Hope it helps. HISTORIC CHEATHAM COUNTY TOUR SITES http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tncheath/tour.html BETTSTOWN OR BETSYTOWN CCHGA 2 Near the end of Neptune Road on the Cumberland River, not accessible by the public, Bettstown or Betsytown was located in the early to mid l830's. It lay at the foot of Harpeth Shoals thus playing an important roll in river traffic as did Ashland City which was at the head of Harpeth Shoals. Both thrived as a result of "lighter" business and transfer of freight made necessary by Harpeth Shoals. In 1838 A. W. Van Leer, Daniel Hillman and R. Baxter opened up the Clay-Steam Forge at Betsytown in connection with Cumberland Furnace and the town became valuable as a shipping port for Pig Iron.
