In 1536 upon the breaking out of the war in Florida, a large number of volunteer companies were organized in the various counties in East Tennessee. A part of these * As the military history of East Tennessee could not well be written by counties, it has been prepared here in a single chapter, but treated so far as possible by counties.

were received, but, much to their dislike, instead of being sent to the front were retained to assist in the gathering up of the Cherokee Indians, preparatory to their removal to westof the Mississippi. Gen. John E. Wool, of the United States Army, was placed in command of these troops, and in July, 1836, he established his headquarters at Athens, at which place the volunteers were ordered to rendezvous. Soon after a brig. ade was organized and placed under command of Gen. Richard G. Dunlap.
One regiment in this brigade was commanded by Col. Mcclellan, of Sullivan County, and another by Col. Joseph Powell. Among the companies which are now remembered were James Morrow's company from Knox County, Miles Vernon's company from Rhea County, Moses Cunningham's company from McMinn County, T. J. Caldwell's company from Monroe County. Samuel Powell's company from Hawkins "County and David F. Roger's company from Claiborne County.
A regiment raised by Col. Richard G. Fain was mustered into service, but was immediately given an indefinite furlough, and was not again called into the service.
Upon the announcement of war between the United States and Mexico, and the call for volunteers, almost every county in East Tennessee organized a company and tendered its service, but the number called was too small to admit of all being received, and it became necessary to choose the companies by lot. Three companies from East Tennessee were received into the First Tennessee Mounted Volunteers. The regiment was organized at Memphis, and mustered into service on June 15, 1846. The officers were Jonas E. Thomas, colonel; R. D. Allison, leiutenant-colonel, and Richard Waterhouse, major. The last named organized a company in Rhea County, upon bis election to the position of major; he was succeeded by J. W. Gillespie. Another company in this regiment was known as the " Claiborne Blues." It was organized at Tazewell, with N. J. Evans as captain; J. H. Sawyers, first lientenant; A. J. Brock. second lieutenant, and C. C. Smith, third lieutenant. The third company from East Tennessee was raised in Knox County. The officers were William R. Caswell, captain; Samuel W. Bell, first lieutenant; Calvin Gossett, second lieutenant, and James Anderson, third lieutenant.
The Second Tennessee Infantry was also mustered into service in June, 1846. It was organized at Memphis with William T. Haskell as colonel; D. H. Cummings, lieutenant- colonel, and W. P. Hale as adjutant. Company C, of this regiment, was recruited in Anderson County, and was organized with the following officers: John L. Kirkpatrick, captain; William Hogshead; first lieutenant; John Ellis, second lieutenant, and Timothy Bradley, orderly sergeant. In March, 1847, Capt. Kirkpatrick died, and W. G. Mc.ldoo, who had succeeded Lieut. Hogshead, assumed command of the company. Company H was raised in McMinn and Monroe Counties. The officers were John D. Lowry, captain: William Yearwood, first lieutenant; James Wilson, second lieutenant; James Forest. third lieutenant, and H. B. Yearwood, orderly sergeant. Company -. officered as follows, was raised in Sevier County: George W. Mccown, captain; Joseph Bradley, first lieuten- ant; George W. Bounds, second lieutenant, and F. White, orderly sergeant. A fourth company was raised in Hamilton County by W. J. Standifer.
The Fourth Regiment. Tennessee Volunteers, consisted of nine companies, five of which were from East Tennessee. It was enlisted for the war, and was organized in November, 1847. The officers were Richard Waterhouse. of Rhea County. colonel: James D. Swan, lieutenant-colonel, and McD. J. Bunch, of Claiborne County, major. Company A was raised in Claiborne County, and was commanded by J. H. Evans. Company C was organized in Roane County, with James Freeman, captain; Robert K. Byrd, first lientenant; L. M. Wester, second lieutenant, and W. II. Narramore, thirl lieu- tenant. Company D was from Knox County, and was commanded by Jordan T. Council. with T. W. Newman, first lieutenant: J. H. Crockett, second ficatenant; Thomas Me Affry, third lieutenant. Company H was mustered at Harrison then the county seat of Hamtil- ton County. It was recruited by Col.

HISTORY OF TENNESSEE.
The Fifth Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, was entirely from East Tennessee, and consisted of eleven companies enlisted for the war. It was organized in December, 1847, and mustered out in July, 1848. George R. Mcclellan was colonel. George W. Bounds, lieutenant-colonel, and James Walker, major. Company A was recruited in Grainger County, and organized with Elisha Thomason as captain; P. M. Senter, first lieutenant, and F. M. Walker second lieutenant. Company C was recruited in Monroe County, but contained thirteen men from Bradley County. The officers were John C. Vaughn, captain; W. W. Marshall, first lieutenant, succeeded by James W. McSpodden. and John Brown, second lieutenant. Company F was raised in Blount County, and Was organized with J. C. Fagg as captain, and James H. McKamy, first lieutenant. Company G was from Jefferson County, and was commanded by J. J. Reese. Company H was organized at Charleston with Harrison Dill as captain; William L. Lafferty, first lieutenant, and William C. Shelton, second lieutenant. Company I was raised in Bradley County, and was officered as follows: J. H. Grant, captain; Jacob B. Collins, first lieutenant: J. C. McCarty and C. Hennegar, second lieutenants. Carter County furnished Company K, of which William H. Patterson was captain; William C. Emmert, first lieutenant, and Jobn Boyd. second lieutenant. Company L was organized at Jonesboro, with J. T. O'Brien as captain; Henderson Hendley, first lieutenant; W. K. Hale, second lieutenant: S. B. Adams, third lieutenant. Company D, from Sullivan County, was commanded by Shelby T. Shaver, with William King as first lieutenant; Samucl R. Anderson, second lieutenant: James J. Odell, third lieutenant. The company was recruited by Col. George R. Mcclellan. Company - was raised in Hawkins County, and commanded by Samuel Powell, with S. V. Fulkerson as first lieutenant. Company -, commanded by George W. Mckenzie, was from Meigs County.
Only one other company was received from East Tennessee for service in the Mexi- can war. This was Company B of the Fourteenth United States Infantry, enlisted for five years or during the war. It was organized at Athens in the spring of 1847. The officers were Pierce B. Anderson, captain: S. B. Davis, first lieutenant; Perrin Watson. A. J. B. Hudson and S. C. Scott, second lieutenants.
East Tennessee, during the civil war, without doubt, furnished a larger number of troops to the Federal Army than any other portion of the United States, having an equal population, and yet, in addition to this, half as many more men entered the Confederate Army from the same section. With the exception of Monroe, Polk and Sullivan. the counties were loyal by large majorities, but nearly all contained a considerable number of strong Southern sympathizers. Carter and Johnson were perhaps the most strongly Union, and furnished a smaller per cent of their soldiers to the Confederate Army than any other counties. Roane County is said to have furnished 2,000 men to the Union Army. If that is a correct estimate, she is probably entitled to the honor of having furnished the largest number of any single county, although the counties of Sevier, Jefferson, Greene and Washington also sent out a large number of troops. As was to be expected the Confederate Army received the greatest number of volunteers from Sullivan, Monroe and Polk Counties, although Hawkins, Knox, McMinn, Bradley and Rhea each furnished a goodly number.
The first regiment raised for the Union Army in East Tennessee was composed mainly of men from Roane and the surrounding counties, the majority being from the former. It was commanded by Col. R. K. Byrd of that county, and four of its original members were promoted to the rank of colonel. They were Maj. James T. Shelley, of Roane; Lieut. I. C. Houk, of Anderson; Capt. Isham Young, of Roane, and Capt. John C. Childs. James G. Spears, lieutenant-colonel of this regiment, became a major-general.
The original officers of Company A could not be ascertained. As mustered out they were Thomas J. Rogers, captain; William J. Hartly, first lieutenant; Lindsey Cooper, second lieutenant. Those of Company B were J. W. Magill, captain; W. M. Christian, first lieutenant; Alfred McPheeters, second lieutenant. The original officers of Company C were Vincent Meyers, captain; John M. Smithson, first lieutenant; Edward Maynard, third lieutenant; Meyers resigned in February, 1863. and was succeeded by A. C. Aytse.
