this charge was the First Mississippi Rifles, com- manded by Jefferson Davis. At Camp Allen, near Monterey, on October 25, 1846, Whitfield's com- pany had but thirty-nine privates and nine officers. Nine had died and the remainder had been discharged on account of sickness. On the sick roll is this entry : " Z Hassell has not done duty for more than fifteen days since we left New Orleans, two of which were in battle in Monterey." In Dr. Dorris' diary is a roll of Whitfield's company, which bears the following in- dorsements: " I do hereby certify that this is a correct copy of the names of the officers and privates of Capt. Jno. W. Whitfield's company. (Signed) Wm. E. Whitson." "I do hereby certify that the above is a correct list of the Hickory Guards. (Signed) Jno. W. Whitfield, Capt. H. G. of Hickman Cty." The roll is as follows: Jno. W. Whitfield, captain ; James D. Easley, first lieutenant; Lewis P. Totty, second lieutenant: Abraham C. Dansby, first sergeant; Thomas E. Dansby, second sergeant; Albert Griner, third sergeant; Edward W. Nunnellee, fourth ser- geant; (Dr.) Francis M. Easley, first corporal; Al- fred Darden, second corporal (promoted to be third lieutenant) ; Richard H. Smith, third corporal; Will- iam D. Willey, fourth corporal; Joseph S. Anderson, John S.

Willey, Albert Wray, and William Walker. From this roll is omitted the name of William Holt, who in an official report is marked " recruit." The follow- ing names, not included in this roll, have been fur- nished by survivors of Whitfield's company: Camp- bell Baird, David Duncan, George W. Gordon, John Jones, Wash. Martin, G. W. Nunnelly, Asa Totty, Thomas Campbell (name by which H. C. Camp- bell was known), Thomas Fielder, Mitchell Leonard, Armistead Martin, Edward Owens (probably trans- position of name " Owen Edwards "), and Jack Totty (probably Zach. Totty). Some of these names are evidently repetitions; but this is preferred by the authors, rather than omissions. The First Tennessee Regiment later joined General Scott's army and par- ticipated in the capture of Vera Cruz and in the engagements at Madeline Bridge and Cerro Gordo. The latter affair was on April 18, 1847, the twenty- second birthday of the late John L. Temple, who, as a member of Whitfield's company, participated in this battle. The First Tennessee then went to Jalapa, from which place it was ordered to return to Vera Cruz. Here it embarked for New Orleans, where it was mustered out of service.
At Pueblo, General Scott awaited reinforcements. When a second call was made for troops, Hickman County again furnished a company, composed in part of discharged soldiers of Whitfield's first com- . pany. It became Company K of the Third Tennes- see Regiment, commanded by Col. B. F. Cheathamn.

This regiment was mustered into service on October S, 1847. They went to New Orleans by boat, and from that point sailed to Vera Cruz. Although never en- gaged in battle, this regiment was well drilled and saw much hard service in an unhealthy climate. The. regiment did not reach the City of Mexico until after the fall of that city. At the close of the war it was mustered out of service at Memphis. Through the kindness of Mrs. John L. Temple, the following copy of the official roll of Company K has been secured : john W. Whitfield, captain ; Dennis G. Jones, first lieutenant (promoted to be captain) ; John L. Tem- ple, second lieutenant ; John C. Duncan, third lieu- tenant ; Edward (Ned) Fowlkes, promoted to be first lieutenant ; John P. Nixon, first sergeant ; John N. Nunnelly, second sergeant ; Wm. R.

CHAPTER XXIV.
HICKMAN COUNTY CONFEDERATES.
" The foeman need not frown, They are all powerless now- We gather them here, and we lay them down, And tears and prayers are the only crown We bring to wreathe each brow."
COMPANY H, ELEVENTH TENNESSEE.
T HE following circular, immediately after its issuance, was circulated throughout Hickman County by Thos. P. Bateman, a veteran of the Mexi- can War, at that time a lawyer of Centerville : .
To ARMS!
We are now in a state of revolution, and Southern soil must be defended, and we should not stop to ask, Who brought about the War? or, Who is in fault? but let us go and do battle for our native, or adopted soil, and then set- tle the question as to who is to blame.
I have the acceptance of a company to go to the South and fight for Tennessee and the South, provided it can be mustered into service between the 1st and 10th of May next. Come forward and enroll yourselves immediately at my office in the town of Centerville.
April 23d, 1861.
T. P. BATEMAN.
One of the original circulars, neatly framed, now hangs in the office of the Centerville Hotel. In this frame is a card on which are these words: " Many of the braves who answered my roll call have answered
467
HICKMAN COUNTY CONFEDERATES.
the last call, and I will soon be with them over there. E. A. Dean, Sergeant, Co. H, 11th Tenn. Inf."
In his office Bateman had the following, to which numerous signatures were placed : " We, the under- signed, agree to volunteer for the term of twelve months to serve in the military service of the State of Tennessee, subject to the order of I. G. Harris, Gov- ernor of the State of Tennessee, to serve in any part of the South that we may be needed, or on the bor- ders thereof to defend the State of Tennessee and the rights of the South. April 23d, 1861."
The organization of Bateman's company was com- pleted at Centerville on May 1, 1861, and it then commenced the march to Nashville, the fifer playing, as the company left Centerville, " The Girl I Left Behind Me." On May 14 the company was mustered into the service of the Confederate States of America and became Company H of the Eleventh Tennessee Infantry. This regiment participated in the follow- ing battles : Wild Cat (or Rock Castle River), Ky. ; Walden's Ridge, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Mis- sionary Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Calhoun, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Sugar Creek (east of Atlanta), Jonesboro, Franklin, Nashville, and Bentonville, N. C. It was surrendered with General Johnston's army at Greens- boro, N. C., on April 26, 1865. The battle flag of the regiment was, however, brought away in safety from the place of surrender. The following is the roll of Company H: T. P. Bateman, captain (elected lieu-

TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY.
Hickman County furnished two companies to the Twenty-fourth Tennessee Infantry, which was organ- ized at Camp Anderson, three miles south of Mur- freesboro, on August 6, 1861. This regiment first encountered the enemy at Camp Joe Underwood (Kentucky) on the night of October 22, 1861, when six companies of the regiment, together with Captain Lewis' cavalry company, surprised and captured this Federal camp of instruction. This regiment took part in the bloody battles of Shiloh, Perryville (Ky.), Murfreesboro, and Franklin; and the death rolls of the two Hickman County companies show only too well the gallantry of their members.
The following roll of Company H, Twenty-fourth Tennessee Infantry, is a copy of that sent by Capt. J. A. Holmes to W. C. Whitthorne, adjutant general, State of Tennessee, on May 14, 1863. Entries on this roll concerning events of dates subsequent to this are based on information obtained from survivors of this company : CHARLES WESLEY BEALE, cap-
