Neda, Bill Darnell mentioned "Buggar Saga" when he was writing about his ancestors. He didn't say that Darnell was in "Buggar Saga." However, you will probably find some kin folks in there. Jordan and George Darnell were in the 2nd Mounted Inf. US stationed at Clifton TN. Don't believe every thing you read in "Buggar Saga," then again there might be a little truth to all of it.

David and Mary Hollis Franks, Mary you say most of the county was Union? That is exactly opposite of what this book says. "a few Union sympathizers". >From what I gather from the book he gives maybe not quite equal representation of BOTH sides having a "bad" or "gang" renegade regiment going around raping, pillaging and plundering. But that those of Clifton were some of the worst. And he gives a list of men...and NO my ancestor J.W. wasn't on that list...but surly somewhere there is a record of him being there... or how else would you have known that both George and Jordan were there David? I mean I know one was in co. B...but that bunch in Clifton was made up of men from several outfits. I loaned my book to my mother...but was reading today, near page 125, he gives reference to another manuscript written by another author that was unpublished. Linda something or other. Anybody got a clue about this? Are there any other books on the subject and the area? Nena
