I believe they were known as the "Clarksville Blues". I | would appreciate any information that would point me in the right direction | as to rosters and also battles that this regiment fought in. "Life by the | Roaring Roanoke" gives some information but not too many details. I am most | curious about the Elams who served in this regiment, namely: Thomas D. | Elam, Thomas F(?) Elam, W.A. Elam and H.(Hilary?)E. Elam. I believe that | Thomas F. is actually Thomas R. Elam, nephew of Daniel Elam and I believe | W.A. Elam is William Andrew Elam, son of Daniel Elam. Daniel Elam (owned | land on Little Buffalo Creek) was a life-long resident of Mecklenburg | county and guardian to Thomas R. after the death of Thomas' father Andrew | G. Elam. | | Thanks in advance for any help you can give, | | Kent Elam | |
