A few days later (commencing August 18th), Gen- eral Forrest made a dash into Memphis in the hope of frightening the heavy Federal forces at Abbeville to fall back. The Twentieth Tennessee was held in reserve in the suburbs of Memphis and did not act- ively take part in the fighting.


Russell's Regiment formed part of the command led by Forrest into North Alabama and Middle Ten- nessee in September, 1864, and shared fully in the fighting at Athens, Sulphur Trestle, Pulaski, and other places on the N. & D. railroad, losing some of its best men killed and wounded, Company "E" es- pecially suffering heavily. Returning to West Ten- nessee the expedition to Fort Heiman, Paris Landing and Johnsonvile was undertaken, the Twentieth Ten- nessee supporting the artillery which destroyed so many vessels and such vast amounts of army stores.


264


HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY COMMANDS


Marching southward, Russell's Regiment and some others were furloughed home to secure fresh horses and clothing.


During Hood's campaign to Nashville the Twenti- eth Cavalry shared fully in all the dangers and suffer- ing of this ill-starred campaign, and especially as part of the rear guard on the retreat to Corinth.


During the two and a half months from the first of January to the middle of March, the Twentieth Regiment prepared for the final struggle, and then set out to Selma to help in the fruitless attempt to check the raid of General Wilson through the heart of the Confederacy. But the destruction by the enemy of the bridges across the Cahaba River effect- ually prevented their reaching Selma, and nothing was left to be done but to submit to the inevitable, and to lay down their arms, which they did at Gaines- ville, Ala., with the balance of Forrest's renowned cavalry.


It needs to be said that Quartermaster S. J. Ray, Surgeon T. C. McNeill, Lieuts. N. W. McNeill. Wm. H. Courts and M. B. Dinwiddie, all of Company "B," were Henry County men, besides other non-commis- sioned officers and privates ( whose names I have been unable to obtain), served in the Twentieth Tennessee Cavalry. So that it may be safely said that about one-fourth of its members were citizens of Henry County.

Hawkins' Com- pany "B" of the Twentieth Tennessee Cavalry, and Captain McNeill was assigned as first lieutenant, W. H. Courts was second lieutenant and M. B. Dinwid- die third lieutenant.

GEN. H. B. LYON'S ESCORT.


Capt. D. F. Alexander, tired of waiting to be ex- changed after his capture at Ft. Donelson, obtained a parole by paying a lawyer $100.00 to secure it for him, and made his way home. As soon as able to ride he was again in the saddle, and reporting to Gen- eral Forrest while on his Tennessee River raid in the fall of 1864, was sent by him with a picked company to cross the Tennessee River and keep the telegraph wires cut between Johnsonville and Nashville, to pre- vent Federal reinforcements being sent to Johnson- ville, while General Forrest attacked the gunboats, transports and depot of supplies at that point. This perilous mission he skillfully accomplished with sig- nal ability and complete success.


General Forrest then gave him authority to enlist a new cavalry company (his old company having been broken up and the men distributed in other compa- nies while he was absent in prison). He found' no trouble in gathering about him a band of bold spirits, and the new company was at once selected by Gen. H. B. Lyon as his escort, and accompanied him on his daring raid in the winter of 1864-5, in which he made almost a complete circuit, starting from West Tennessee, crossing the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, and thence through Southern Kentucky and Middle Tennessee to North Alabama and destroying a great deal of Government property. They helped to fight Wilson on his advance to Selma, Ala., and surrendered, with other cavalry commands, at Colum- bus, Miss.

HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY COMMANDS


CAPT. ROBERT AYRES' CAVALRY COMPANY.


During the summer and fall of 1861, Capt. Robert Ayres of Benton recruited a company of cavalry, most of whom were from that county, though there were some twenty-five or thirty from Henry. This company was not attached to any battalion or regiment at first. It was stationed at Danville, on the Tennessee River, to guard the railroad bridge there during the winter of 1861-2. Soon after the fall of Ft. Henry the Fed- eral gunboats ascended the river to Danville and shelled the camp of Ayres' Company, drove them off and burned the bridge.


The company was stampeded and scattered for a while, but later rallied and joined the Confederate forces in North Alabama, and did valiant service under General Roddy on post, provost and guard duty, as well as field service.


During the latter part of the war the company was attached to Nixon's Regiment and were surrendered near Greensboro, Ala., in May, 1865.


The following Henry County men are all whose names could be secured at this late day :


Robert F. Bomer; served through the war.


William C. Bomer; served through the war. A. J. Bradshaw.

COMPANY "C," FOURTH CONFEDERATE REGIMENT.


When the fortifications at Fort Henry were com menced, troops from various points were assembled there, and several regiments were organized. One of the companies entering into the organization of the Fourth Confederate Regiment was commanded by Capt. Joe Alexander of Weakley County and a squad of men from the Fifteenth and Twentieth Districts of Henry County crossed the Tennessee River and en- listed in this company, afterward commanded by Capt. Wallace of Weakley County. This company was cap- tured at Ft. Donaldson, and after being exchanged, fought at various places in Mississippi.


I have no detailed account of the fighting done by this contingent of Henry's soldiery, but doubt not it

COL. W. W. FAULKNER'S TWELFTH KENTUCKY CAV- ALRY.


Sergt. D. N. Wright of Company "D" of this regi- ment, in writing a sketch of it for Dr. J. Berrian Lindsley's Annals of Tennessee, says : "Possibly Ken- tuckians were in the majority when the original or- ganization took place; however, the majority was small." And he says further that there were Henry County men in Companies "E," "F" and "G." This certainly entitles it to a notice in this history.


The companies composing it were recruited along the Kentucky and Tennessee line during the summer of 1863, and the organization of the regiment was completed in the western part of Madison County,


282


HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY COMMANDS


Tennessee, about the 20th of September, 1863. A bat- talion of the regiment under Lieut .- Col. W. D. Lan- nom assisted materially in safely escorting the un- armed forces gathered from West Tennessee, in the march from Jackson, Tenn., to North Mississippi. In the organization of Forrest's Cavalry Department the regiment was assigned to Mccullough's Brigade. When Buford's Division . was organized, March 1, 1864, Faulkner's Regiment was placed in the Ken- tucky Brigade, composed of the Third, Seventh and Eighth Kentucky Mounted Infantry, with Col. A. P. Thompson in command as senior colonel. When Col- onel Thompson was killed in the attack on Paducah Colonel (afterwards Brigadier-General) H. B. Lyon succeeded to the command, and no brigade in any army ever made a better record, and the Twelfth Ken- tucky was not a whit behind the other regiments in making and maintaining this splendid reputation.
