Pam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: <A HREF="mailto:nicdixie@charter.net">nicdixie@charter.net</A> 1st (CARTER'S) TENNESSEE CAVALRY REGIMENT Organized November, 1862 by the addition of other companies to what was originally 3rd (Brazelton's), later 14th (Carter's) Tennessee Cavalry Battalion. Brazelton's Battalion was also called the 2nd Battalion and the 5th Tennessee Cavalry Battalion. FIELD OFFICERS Colonel-James E. Carter Lieutenant Colonel-Onslow Bean Majors-A. M. Goforth, John B. King, Richard S. VanDyke The 3rd (Brazelton's) Tennessee Cavalry Battalion was organized with six companies in 1861 as a twelve month organization, with Lieutenant Colonel William Brazelton, Jr., and Major James C. Bradford as Field Officers. On March 27, 1862 the Adjutant and Inspector Generals Office ordered: "The 3rd Cavalry Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel William Brazelton, Jr., with companies of Captains McHenry, McCaskill, Bledsoe and Sanders, are hereby organized into a regiment to be known and designated as the 1st Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, with Colonel William Brazelton, Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel James F. Brewer as field officers." This order was apparently never put into effect, for on May 12, 1862, the battalion was reorganized with James E. Carter as lieutenant colonel, and Onslow Bean as major, and was officially recognized as the 14th (Carter's) Tennessee Cavalry Battalion. Finally on November 14, 1862, the battalion was increased to a regiment by the addition of four other companies; two other companies were added in 1863. The company letters were changed at the reorganization as the 14th Battalion, and again at the organization of the regiment. The original companies, with changes in company Co. "H" letters shown, were as follows: Regiment 14th Battalion Original Co. "A" "B" "B" Organized at Sulphur Springs, Rhea County. Captains Burton Lenty, Green B. Keys. Co.

"M" Organized September 3, 1863 at Jonesboro, from a number of conscripts enlisted within the enemy lines. Attached to this regiment by Brigadier General John C. Vaughn, March 11, 1864. Men from Washington, Sullivan and Carter Counties. Not accounted for on regimental roster dated February 1865. Captain Edward Gammon. Prior to the organization of the regiment, the battalion had been operating in the neighborhood of Cumberland and Big Creek Gaps, along the line of railroad. When the regiment was organized it was assigned to Brigadier General John Pegram's Cavalry Brigade in Lieutenant General E. Kirby Smith's Department. This brigade was composed of Howard's Alabama Regiment, 2nd (Ashby's), 4th (Starnes'), I. E. Carter's Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, and Marshall's Battery. Prior to the Battle of Murfreesboro, on December 29, 1862, Carter's Regiment joined Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler's Brigade, and participated in his raid around the Federal Army from Jefferson Springs to LaVergue, to Nolensville, to Murfreesboro. It was engaged on December 31 along the Murfreesboro Pike. Following this battle, the regiment returned to Pegram's Brigade, in the Department of East Tennessee under Brigadier General D. S. Donelson. On February 20, 1863, this brigade was reported as composed of the 1st Georgia, 1st Louisiana, 1st (Carter's) Tennessee, 2nd However, Captain B. S. Van Dyke's Company "C" had been detached to Colonel A. W. Reynolds' Brigade in the Department of Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana, and served in the campaign around Vicksburg, and the seige of Vicksburg, until the surrender of that city on July 4, 1863, when it was temporarily attached to Colonel T. N. Waul's Texas Legion. With Pegram's Brigade, the regiment took part in operations in Lincoln, Boyle and Garrard Counties of Kentucky, and was engaged March 30, 1863 at the junction of the Stanford and Crab Orchard Roads where it was under the command of Colonel 3.5. Scott, of the 1st Louisiana Regiment. General Pegram's comment on this operation is interesting: "For Colonel Scott's operations, I refer you to the accompanying report. Touching this curious document I have only to say that I cannot but admire the ingenuity with which Colonel Scott has attempted to account for disobedience of orders and dilatoriness of action which it is my sincere belief lost us the fight." Colonel Carter reported five officers and 32 men as casualties in this operation. On April 25, 1863, Colonel J. I. Morrison was reported in command of the brigade, now listed as composed of 1st Georgia, 1st and 2nd Tennessee Regiments, 12th and 16th Cavalry Battalions, and Huwald's Battery. The brigade was at Albany, Kentucky on May 1; at Travisville, Fentress County, Kentucky on May 2. On July 23, the Chief of Staff, at Knoxville, ordered Colonel Scott, then commanding the brigade, to send 300 horses of 1st (Carter's) Regiment to Loudon, Tennessee. On July 31, Pegram's Brigade, consisting of 1st and 6th Georgia Regiments, 7th North Carolina Battalion, 1st Tennessee Regiment, Rucker's Legion, and Huwald's Battery was reported at Ebenezer. On August 15, Carter's Regiment was reported as operating near Clinton. It participated in the fighting around Cumberland Gap which resulted in the capture of that point by the Federal troops on September 9, 1863, but the regiment had escaped up the valley before the surrender, and on September 11 Colonel Carter was reported in command of the brigade near Lee Courthouse. On September 18, Carter's Regiment was driven from the ford above Kingsport after a severe fight. Somewhere about this time, the regiment was assigned to Brigadier General John S. Williams' Cavalry Brigade, composed of the 16th Georgia Battalion, 4th Kentucky Regiment, 10th Kentucky Battalion, May's Kentucky Regiment, 1st Tennessee and 64th Virginia Regiments, which on October 31, 1863 was reported at Saltyille, Virginia. On the same date, October 31, 1863, Special Order Number 282 of the Army of Tennessee placed 1st (Carter's) Regiment in the 2nd Brigade of Major General Joseph Wheeler's Cavalry Corps, and on November 19, 1863 an order from the Headquarters of the Cavalry Corps near Knoxville ordered "Brigadier General W. Y. C. Humes will proceed to Dalton, Georgia and report to Brigadier General H. B. Davidson for assignment to a cavalry brigade composed of the following regiments; 1st (6th) Wheeler's, 1st (Carter's), 4th (Baxter Smith's), 11th (Holman's). On November 20, 1863, General Bragg's organization of the Army of Tennessee showed the regiment in Brigadier General Henry B. Davidson's Brigade, Major General John A. Wharton's Division, Major General Joseph Wheeler's Cavalry Corps. This listed the brigade as composed of 1st (Carter's), 2nd (Ashby's), 4th (McLemore's), 6th (James T. Wheeler's), and 11th (Holman's) Regiments. Despite these orders, Carter's Regiment was reported near Rogersville on November 1, in Williams' Brigade, with Colonel H. L. Gutner commanding. On November 30, and on December 31, Colonel Carter was reported as commanding the brigade. Perhaps the explanation for this apparent contradiction may be found in a statement by Colonel Carter in his sketch of the regiment in Lindsley's Annals. He stated that Captain Swearingen's Company "K" was with General Johnston on his memorable march from Dalton to Atlanta, and did some hard fighting. Apparently this company was listed in orders of battle as the 1st Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, for it was mentioned in Federal reports of the fighting around Marietta, Georgia on June 20, 1864, and was shown as a member of Ashby's Brigade, of Humes' Division on June 30, 1864. In the meantime, Captain Van Dyke's Company "C" had returned from Mississippi, and on November 24, 1863 was at Charleston, Tennessee with Colonel John C. Carter's 38th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. Colonel Carter highly commended Captain Van Dyke and his 44 men for the part they played in helping his forces to evacuate Charleston without being captured. Captain Van Dyke's Company later rejoined the regiment, and Van Dyke became major, but it is not known whether or not Swearingen's Company was ever reunited with the rest of the regiment. On April 16, 1864, the regiment was transferred to Vaughn's Brigade, of Brigadier General J. C. Vaughn's Division, and reported 248 men present. It remained in this brigade until the end of the war. As part of Vaughn's Brigade, the regiment moved into Virginia in early 1864, fought at the Battle of Piedmont, or New Hope Church, and in the subsequent campaign in the Valley of Virginia under General Early. On August 22, 1864, Major General Ransom recommended the consolidation of the 12th and 16th Tennessee Cavalry Battalions with the 1st Tennessee Regiment under Colonel Carter, whom he called "a fine officer." This recommendation was not accepted and these units continued in the same brigade, as separate organizations. The last record of the regiment on February 28, 1865, showed it still in Vaughns Brigade, with Brigadier General John Echols in command of the Department. Echols disbanded his forces upon learning of the surrender of General Lee at Appomatox Courthouse. A Brief History of the Legion The Thomas North Carolina Legion was organized by William H. Thomas a native of western North Carolina, who, because of his long friendship with the Cherokee Indians of that area, was permitted by the Confederate War Department to form a unit containing companies of whites and indians. Thomas and his family had been on very close terms with the Cherokees since the 1820's In 1836, upon the death of the two principle chiefs of the tribe, Yona-gus-kee and Jana-lus-kee, Thomas was elected chief. Because of the Cherokees of western North Carolina had a white man as their leader, they were not moved to the indian territory during the forced movement of the Cherokees from Georgia and South Carolina in 1838. Thomas was granted permission to form the unit in mid-september, 1861. A sort time later he received permission to recruit a legion, that is a unit which contained both infantry and cavalry companies. The Thomas Legion contained four cavalry companies (two of indians and two of whites) and six infantry companies. He organized the unit at Knoxville, Tennessee, in August, 1862. The legion was mustered into Confederate service there on September 27th, 1862. 1,125 officers and enlisted men were mustered into service as members of the unit. More detailed info has been found on the various companies of the legion. "A" a mounted Indian company; men from Haywood and Swain Co. "B" a mounted Indian company; men from Cherokee Co, North Carolina and Jefferson Co, Tennessee. "C" a white infantry company; men from Haywood Co. "D" a mounted white company; men from Jackson Co, North Carolina, and Jefferson Co, Tennessee. "E" a white infantry company; men from Haywood Co. "F" a white infantry company; men from Jackson Co. "G" a white infantry company; men from Jackson Co. "H" a mounted white company; men from Cherokee Co. "I" a white infantry company; men from Cherokee Co. "K" a white infantry company; men from Union Co. Tennessee. During the summer of 1863 four additional cavalry companies were organized for the legion. One of these companies contained Cherokees, the other three being white men. These companies, however, appear to have never officially served with the legion. Rather, they were not mustered into service and saw srevice as North Carolina state forces. Most Civil War Legions were broken up into seperate parts shortly after taking the field.This was done because it was found that legions, instead of combining the strong parts of various branches of the service, magnified their weaknesses. The Thomas North Carolina Legion, on the other hand, was never officially broken up even though the infantry and the cavalry companies sometimes were detached from each other. In March, 1865, however, the unit was redesignated as the 69th North Carolina infantry even though the cavalry companies continued to serve mounted. Like almost all Civil War units, the Thomas North Carolina Legion was often known by an alternate designation derived from the mane of its commanding officer. Names of this type used by or for the unit are shown below. William H. Thomas' Legion, James R. Love, Jr 's Legion, William W. Strongfield's Legion, William C. Walker's Legion, James A. Mckamy's Legion, The last two names listed appear to have been used only for the mounted portion of the unit. Upon being mustered into Confederate service the legion was assigned to duty in the department of East Tennessee. It served there until the fall of 1863. It then joined the Army of Western Virginia and East Tennessee. The unit also served in the department of southwest Virginia and East Tennessee and the department of North Carolina and Southern Virginia before joining the Army of the Valley District In the summer of 1864. The unit ended its career in the department of North Carolina.

Hello: I checked a site that I have used in the past; www.hambrick.com/ Seems that the site is for sale and no longer accepts mapping requests. However, I just used another US surname mapping site; check it out. http://www.gens-us.net/ For me, distribution studies are the way to go. Happy mapping Pat Hall nico@sonic.net Ktain02@webtv.net wrote: > Does anyone recall a website where you > put in a surname and it showed where the > highest concentration of people with that > name lived in the state's? > I could sure use it right now! > Karen. > > ==== TNROOTS Mailing List ==== > If you need help with this list please contact your list manager Pamela Burnette at: pburne1063@aol.com > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Am spending all day tomorrow at the TSLA, anyone need a lookup? Will be on the net off and on so any mail received before 2 p.m. cst can possibly handle for lookups. PLEASE only reasonable requests, hate ones that ask for 10-15 surnames in all census records. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Sign-up for Video Highlights of 2002 FIFA World Cup
