This is quite a coinsedence. My husband's gg grandfather, Thomas Asheralso served in Capt. James Tunnell's Co., 3 Reg't (Johnson's) E. TN Militia. According to his obit in the Victoria (Texas) Advocate newspaper (1885) "he served with Andrew Jackson". I have searched for years to find some documentation of this without any success. From his application for pension and other sources the following also served in this company: Harmon Thompson, Thomas Laxton, Michael Asher, David Landrum, James Blackburn, Andrew Edgen, George Garner, John Sexton, William Sexton, and ? Patton. It seems odd that you have the same story for your ancestors too, from the same company. Patsy Hand "Phyllis J.
