This is just the start of the Civil War in Cannon County from the Book in 1936. I will look at it more later. There is about two more pages. Kevin Morgan The Civil War in Cannon County, TN From the “ History of Woodbury and Cannon County “ By: Sterling Spurlock Brown 1936 Printed by Doak Printing Company, Manchester, Tennessee Cannon County furnished three full companies to the Eighteenth Confederate Regiment of Tennessee- the companies of Richmond Rushing, H. J. St.John, and Gran Wood; one company to Col. Barton’s Mississippi Regiment, Timothy Allison, Capt until 1862, when he was killed and suceeded by Capt. W.M. McKnight; two companies to Col. Hill’s Fourth Tennessee Regiment of Infantry, commanded by Captains M.M. Brien Jr., and James H. Wood; one company captained by John C. New; two cavalry companies, officered by Captain H.A. Wiley and J.W. Nichols. We regret that we are not able to give the names of the subordinate officers and privates in each of these companies, but will record here all that can be ascertained. The roster of Capt. Allison’s, ( later McKnight’s ), Company as follows: Officers: T.M. Allison, Captain, killed at home in 1862. Suceeded by W.M.

m m, I will have to do some searching. This George 'might' be in the John and Catherine (Carson) MILLER family. They lived and died in Warren Co. Several of that family's descendants went to DeKalb and some to Cannon. I have just looked at the Warren and DeKalb cemetery books. Nothing.

The Mormon Church microfilms records like these. Have they done these or been contacted about doing them? You all might look into that.

Do you havea James or Jimmy Murphy listed from Cannon Co.? Would apperciate your help

No .I wish I did.Margaret "Maggie" Murphy married George Miller in Cannon Co.Aug.22, 1881.In 1880 Maggie was still home with her mother.Do you know anything of this Miller family ? George & Maggie seem to just disopear after I find the marriage. The marriage is all I have on them,. One of Timothy's family wrote a letter years ago and in it sates Timothy's sister Maggie married George Miller and that is how I knew the marriage I found was part of my famiy.

B J & Dotti My line is the FAGAN family Robert Lanier FAGAN is brother of my gggrandfather. I do not have much info on Mary Ann FAGAN KNOX. I do have her m William and a son and grandson I have more info on Sarah FAGAN m McLoud. I will be happy to share anything I have with you. Also I would love any info you have THanks Betty Lyon STARRETT

Someone should get the records out and as time permits microfilm them before they are destroyed forever.That would be take alot of time but worthh the effort to perserve history

Kevin, you show the father of Zachariah Moore, as Samuel Moore. Do you, or anyone else, have information on this Samuel Moore Lineage? Brothers, sisters, parents? Thanks

There were also hundreds of old ledgers and boxes in a storage room next to the furnace room in Smithville 2 years ago when cousin Doris and I were there.

Hi Betty, I have William Armstrong Knox m. Mary Ann (Polly) Fagan, their daughter was my Sarah Jane Knox b. 1839 in TN. William was in the line from John Knox and Jean Gracey mentioned by Dottie, maybe my Sarah Jane was named after the earlier one Dottie mentions. I also have a Sarah Fagan, parents Robert Lanier Fagan and Martha (Patsy) Gibson who m. Thomas Cook McLoud (or McCloud) with children Nancy Jane b. 1836 and son Joseph, date unknown. If you are interested in that Knox line, there is an incredible hand written family tree (yes, in the shape of a tree) starting from the base with John Knox and Jean Gracey (1708), branching up with their 8 children, and up through many generation, ending with my fathers generation (born 1926). It has names but no dates, but is about 5' tall and 3'+ wide, and an incredible work. Is any of that any help?
