Peggy, >From "Shiloh Remembered": p. 30 -- HARRIS and others "August 28, 1908" "6th Tennessee Cavalry, 6th Annual Meeting at the Laughlin Springs where the regiment was encamped and organized in August 1862......The following is a list of veterans both home and visiting:" ".....Company B: J.T. Gage, J.F. Floyd, E.S. Bassham, W.W. Kerby, J.C. Maxwell, J.D. Sanders, H.C. HARRIS, Wm. Piggott, H. Hair, J.A. Plunk." p. 44 -- HASTINGS, GARRISON, BROWN, TEUTON "The Brown Brothers Escape Ruby GARRISON's old log house sits along a dirt road just off Highway 117 South of Adamsville. The rustic log house is framed by a cluster of mulberry trees and a box elder that is older than anyone can remember. The ancient tree and the weathered old house are relics of the Civil War, the cyclone that wiped out the community in 1909 and a whole passel of HASTINGS, BROWN's, TEUTON's and GARRISON's, who have resided there down though the generations. Above the living quarters is a sleeping loft, below is a root cellar. A sagging porch curls around two sides of the house. The cabin's original stick and wood chimney burned a long time ago. Now a brick chimney stands there. Otherwise there have not been many changes for the past 100 years. A bullet hole from the Civil War days is still visible in the door casing. The bullet remained in the hole until the GARRISON children pried it out one day. The bullet was fired from .58 caliber musket held by a Yankee soldier. Mrs. GARRISON heard the story often from her grandmother. "During the Civil War the folks that lived in the house had two boys at home. They were BROWN's, I believe". The BROWN boys were reluctant to fight at Shiloh and were hiding out in the house when a detachment of Yankee soldiers rode up in search of them. The mother shouted a warning call and the boys scurried up the ladder to the loft and hid. The mother was lying on the bed pretending to be sick when the soldiers came in. They fired bullets into the house trying to get Mrs. BROWN to tell where the boys were, but she wouldn't tell. Meanwhile, the boys had went up through the open window in the upper part of the upstairs. They escaped by crawling onto a big limb that grew next to the house. Silently they made their way down behind the house and hid in a rocky bluff."
