Thank you, I do not have that book, I am trying to help my cousin who lives in Florida. Her GGrandmother was Ada Belle Carter who married Addison Kirk. Her grandmother was Ruby Kirk and she told the family that the Carters were Cherokee from N.C., so I am trying to help Pat with her genealogy. I looked on the Rootsweb Native American Rolls and could not find anyone that was similar to these Tennessee Carters.

Author: RobertaEstes13 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties.carter/1174/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In honor of our ancestors who served in the various wars and conflicts throughout the history of our nation, I ordered and am posting the roster of Colonel Ewen Allison's regiment who served in the War of 1812. I believe this group of men was primarily from Washington County, Tn.. I believe this for two reasons. On the front of the roster list, partially covered by tape, is information about the group. I can see two groups of words. One includes the word Washington. The second says "130 miles from Knoxville". Using google maps, I find that Bristol Tn. is about 130 miles from Knoxville, today. I am particularly interested in the man, Joel Cook, which is why I ordered the roster, but I also recognize the names Allison, Campbell, Tipton and Sevier as other names from Washington County. I'm hopeful that you folks will also recognize some of the names and can elaborate on these men and their families. I hope one of your ancestors is indeed here...waiting for you to find them as we honor them on Memorial Day. These men were commanded by Captain Adam Winsel from Jan. 10, 1814 to May 18, 1814. Everyone's term was initially for 6 months, but as a unit they only had to serve 4 months and 22 days. Their pay was $8 per month for privates, $10 for corporal, $11 for sergeants, $8 and $20 for ensign, $25 for 2nd Lt, 30 for 1st Lt, and $40 for the Captain. A few of the remarks give us a little information about where they were. It appears that the unit was mustered in Washington County and arrived in Knoxville when their official muster date was established on January 10th. Apparently a few of them had second thoughts, as two are shown as deserters of January 9th, the day before the unit was officially sanctioned. Thomas Kanon at the Tennessee State Library tells us this about Allison's unit: COLONEL EWEN ALLISON DESIGNATION: 1st Regiment of East Tennessee Militia DATES: January 1814 - May 1814 MEN MOSTLY FROM: Greene, Sullivan, Washington, Carter, and Hawkins Counties CAPTAINS: Joseph Everett, John Hampton, Jacob Hoyal, William King, Jonas Loughmiller, Henry McCray, Thomas Wilson, Adam Winsell BRIEF HISTORY: This regiment was also designated as the First Regiment of East Tennessee Drafted Militia. The unit was part of General George Doherty's brigade, along with Colonel Samuel Bunch's Second Regiment. Doherty's brigade participated in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (27 March 1814) where they were part of the right line of attack on the Creek fortifications. There were casualties in many of the companies, especially in those of Captains Everett, King, Loughmiller, and Winsell. The Nashville Clarion of 10 May 1814 has a complete listing of the dead and wounded from this climactic battle of the Creek War. The principal rendezvous point for this regiment was Knoxville. From there they traveled to Ross' Landing (present-day Chattanooga), to Fort Armstrong, Fort Deposit, Fort Strother, Fort Williams, to Horseshoe Bend, and back by the reverse route. Captain Hampton's company was ordered to man Fort Armstrong in mid-March 1814. Arms were scarce in this unit and rifles often had to be impressed from the civilian population along the line of march. (End of Thomas Kanon's info.) This unit served at both Fort Williams and Fort Strother, but the remarks don't tell us if they were indeed at the other locations mentioned by Thomas above. Fort Williams was a supply depot for the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, built in early 1814. It is near the intersection of Cedar Creek and the Coosa River, now underwater, near Talladega Springs, Alabama. Fort Strother was a rendevous point for troops in the war, built by Jackson for his forward campaign, and became the center of his operations. There must have been something that happened on March the 4th. Maybe they were leaving for the south and several men decided not to go along. It was the beginning of spring planting season, and perhaps the men knew their families would suffer if they were not home to plant the crops, and maybe there was no one to help their families without them. We'll never know why, but most of those who deserted did so on this date, with one two days later, who may have decided to stay, had regrets, and then joined the other deserters on his way home. The reason I think this may be the case is that those who were discharged for inability were discharged on March the 6th. Those men would have been sent home before the rest of the group started their long march south. Indeed, this unit probably left shortly thereafter and marched on foot, as most had no horses, from Knoxville to Talladega, Alabama by April 27th., a distance of 245 miles. Most people can travel about 20 miles a day on! foot, on a good day, in terrain that is not terribly difficult. This would have taken at least 12 days, if not longer. Of course, this also assumes that the troops had enough food to sustain their energy, which was not always true. Many of the men in the War of 1812 from Tennessee died of illness and starvation. Of course, a lack of food would make the men more susceptible to illness. However, none of the men in this unit are noted as having died or been killed, a very unusual situation as compared to other units serving in the same area in this war, also from Tn., who lost many men. This unit likely never saw combat. By May the 2nd, they were in Fort Strother, not far removed, about 61miles away, another 3 days march. http://alabama.hometownlocator.com/maps/feature-map,ftc,3,fid,1680985,n,fort strother.cfm, http://www.lat-long.com/Latitude-Longitude-1681011-Alabama-Fort_Williams__historical_.html For those interested, these links are to maps of the locations of these forts, or near these forts. What they did and where they were beween these dates we can only discover from the men's pension applications. Not every man (or his widow) would live until 1832 when they could apply for a pension, but those who did would have given valuable informaition in their applications which will flesh out the locations and activities of this service unit. Here's the roster. Unfortunately, this roster and pay documentation (there are two documents I'm working from) do not include some of the information that other units included, such as height, weight, hair and eye color, or the county from which they enlisted. But still it's a glimpse at these men who may have been our ancestors or who were the neighbors and family of our ancestors in a time of war that affected all families. Enjoy.

Yes, I do! The dates given below are year of Probate.... so a will could have been written in say 1845 but probated in 1852, so would be in will book 2.
