Dear George, Had written my message under another ID without realizing it. So Sorry. I should be subscribed under this ID. Joy Joy, You are not subscribed under this address. Can I help you fix it so you can resend your message? Thanks, George ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Sat, 9 Sep 2006 08:42:31 -0600 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: {not a subscriber} War of 1812 - Battle of Talladega Dear List, My ancestor, Private Hightower PARTIN, a "three-month soldier," who signed up in Giles County, Tenn., fought at the Battle of Talladega on 9 Nov 1813, near Talladega, Alabama. PARTIN mustered out after his three months were up, as did the majority of men who signed up as "three-month soldiers" to fight with Jackson. As I understand it, the men who fought in the Battle of Talladega were listed as soldiers in the War of 1812 (War with Great Britain and Creek Indians), because this was an on-going war that lasted beyond 1812. How many others on this list know of an ancestor who fought at the Battle of Talladega? How many others know of an ancestor who fought in the War of 1812? Is there a list of men from Lincoln Co who fought in the War of 1812 on-line somewhere? Thank you in advance for your help with this. Joy P. S. See below some information on the men serving in the War of 1812. - - - - - COLONEL WILLIAM PILLOW DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry DATES: September 1813 - December 1813 MEN MOSTLY FROM: Rutherford, White, Williamson, Davidson, Franklin, Lincoln, and Maury Counties CAPTAINS: John H. Anderson, George Caperton, (Lt.)Joseph Mason, C.E. McEwen, James McFerrin, William Moore, Isiah Renshaw, William J. Smith, Thomas Williamson BRIEF HISTORY: This regiment, composed of about 400 men, participated in Jackson's first campaign into Creek territory along with the regiment under Colonel Bradley. Both these regiments fought at the Battle of Talladega (9 November 1813) where Colonel Pillow was wounded. An anecdote concerning Pillow at Talladega claimed that Jackson ordered the colonel to fall back once the Creeks attacked, but Pillow refused on the grounds that he would not let his wounded men be "scalped by the demons." Lieutenant Colonel William Martin, who took over the regiment after Pillow was wounded at Talladega, was later at the center of a dispute with Andrew Jackson over the enlistment terms of the regiment. The line of march would have taken these men from Fayetteville to Huntsville and on to Fort Strother, where the regiment was stationed after the Battle of Talladega. - - - - - COLONEL THOMAS McCRORY DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment West Tennessee Militia DATES: October 1813 - January 1814 MEN MOSTLY FROM: Williamson, Maury, Giles, Overton, Rutherford, and Smith Counties CAPTAINS: William Dooley, Thomas K. Gordon, Samuel B. McKnight, Anthony Metcalf, Isaac Patton, John Reynolds, James Shannon, Abel Willis BRIEF HISTORY: Part of General Isaac Roberts' Second Brigade, these three-month enlistees were mustered in at Franklin, Tennessee and mustered out at Fort Strother. The regiment participated in the Battle of Talladega (9 November 1813). Jackson tried to get them to serve longer than the three-month term, but only Captain Abel Willis (Overton County) and nineteen men stayed. The number of men in each company was relatively small, averaging about fifty (one company, led by Captain James Shannon of Williamson County had a complement of twenty-nine men). Famed Presbyterian minister Gideon Blackburn served as regimental chaplain. - - - - - Pvt., Capt. Thos. K. Gordon's Co of Tenn. Mil. Drafted at Pulaski, TN Oct 4, 1813; discharged at Fayetteville TN (or Dittos Landing, Alabama) January 15, 1814. Hightower PARTIN was in this group. Hightower PARTIN lived in both Giles and Lincoln Counties, Tenn., as he is listed on censuses in both counties at various times. ------- End of forwarded message -------

I would like to ask a question of the Lincoln Co., TN list, please. Today is the first day I have received any e-mail in almost a week, several days anyway, from this list. Has anyone else had this problem? I had thought to begin with that it may be because of the changes happening, taking the L out of the address. I see it is still in the address. Thank you. Dortha
