Andrew Jackson McWhirter, who served as Commissioner of Agriculture under govenor Bate.

Date: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 12:53 PM

Hi Jesse, James T.C. McKnight was the son of David McKnight and Martha(Patsy) McWhirter. James was a merchant in Murfreesboro when he enlisted on April 27, 1861 in Murfreesboro in Captain S.N White's company, later Company A, 2nd TN.

At the time of his enlistment, he wrote out his will and distributed his property. He was a widower having married in 1846 to Mary E. Jetton. Mary died in 1849, they had no children. After the company was organized it went to Nashville where it was organized in the 2nd TN. James was a private at
that time. From there he went to Lynchburg, VA and was sworn into Confederate service. James served at Aquia Creek Batteries, VA with theregiment. He reenlisted with it in early 1862 and was given a 60 day furlough.

When A.S. Johnston was organizing forces at Corinth, a call went out the 2nd TN to meet there. Apparently James made it there and participated in the Battle of Shiloh on 6-7 April 1862. On May 1, 1862 he was elected Captain and commander of Company A. He participated in the battles of 1st Manassas, Shiloh, Richmond, KY, Perryville, KY, Murfreesboro and Chickamauga. At Richmond, KY, James was wounded in the knee. Then on the second day of the Battle of Chickamauga, 19-20 Sep 1863, he was killed in action while leading his troops in Cleburne's morning engagement.

I have not yet found where is buried. He is mentioned in BG L.E. Polk's report of the battle and is listed on the Confederate Roll of Honor for the Battle of Chickamauga.

You can find these in the Official Record of the War of the Rebellion, series I, vol. XXX, part II.

As far as I know, he was the only one of the family that stayed in Tennessee. His brothers, George D.A. McKnight (my g-g-grandfather), Samuel H.A. McKnight, their sister and brother in law, John M. Andrews, all moved to Ferris, Ellis County, Texas in 1850. Samuel and John served in cavalry
units from Texas during the war.

I hope this helps.

Take care

My Alexander Hamilton McCandless McWhirter was born 27 Aug 1785, and died between 1850-1860, probably in Warren/DeKalb Co., TN, as he lived at the mouth of Sink Creek. Several of us have searched for his burial site, and I even checked the Corps of Engineers Book which shows the bodies removed from the cemeteries in that area when Center Hill Lake was formed, but did not locate his name.

Alexander H.M. McWhirter married Elizabeth "Betsy" Robinson and they belonged to the Caney Fork Primitive Baptist Church. There is a cemetery where the old Caney Fork PB Church used to be but the problem with that is, there are so many old field stones in the cemetery and unmarked graves.

The area where the Caney Fork Primitive Baptist Cemetery is in McMinnville, in comparison to where they lived on Sink Creek, which is where Pate's Ford Boat Dock is now, is a long way and I can't picture them traveling that distance, but they may have.

Was there another Caney Fork PB Church closer to the area of Pate's Ford Marina and dock??? Was there a shorter way to get to that church from there???

My only other idea is maybe he was buried in an unmarked grave to begin with and the Corps of Engineers missed it when they removed the remains of the others buried there.

Sorry for the length of this but many McWhirter researchers have spent years trying to find Alexander's burial site. I would appreciate ANY ideas any of you might have on this.

Thanks, Glenda McWhirter Todd: stardust40@lighttube.net

The indians, numbering 10,000 within a 200 mile radius of Nashborough,
continued firing upon the settlers causing numerous deaths and burning

one-forth of settlers remained. More than fifty had been killed and with
their crops destroyed, their cattle killed and their food and gunpowder

More data for William's issue:


Uncle Newt was born 07 Jun 1874 in Rock Island, TN and married Audrey Connel, a school teacher. It wasn’t until my Father was deceased that I found out exactly how we were related and as it turned out, we only lived about five miles, the way the crow flies, from where my Father’s and Uncle Newt’s ancestor, Alexander Hamilton McCandless McWhirter, had lived in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Uncle Newt, as I called him, was descended from the Andrew Jackson McWhirter of Civil War Fame, and afterwards the Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Tennessee. My father’s Andrew Jackson McWhirter was born 23 Jun 1847 in Marion County, Alabama and died 28 Feb 1922 in Eagleville, Rutherford County, Tennessee. However, Uncle Newt’s ancestor, Andrew Jackson McWhirter, was the grandson of our ancestor, George Marlin McWhirter and his wife, Martha McCandless Balch McWhirter. My Father and Uncle Newt were both descended from Alexander Hamilton McCandless McWhirter and his wife, Elizabeth Robinson McWhirter, who married 28 Nov 1816 in Warren County and lived on Sink Creek, where Pate’s Ford Boat Dock is currently located. It is such a beautiful area. Alexander’s son, Andrew Ferrier McWhirter, married Sarah Harper and they were our ancestors while Alexander’s son, George Marlin McWhirter married Lucy Ann Blackburn Roberts and they were Uncle Newt’s parents.

Andrew Ferrier McWhirter, mentioned above, married Sarah Harper, daughter of Thomas Harper, on June 7, 1841 in Warren County, Tennessee and emigrated to Walker and Marion County, Alabama.

George Marlin McWhirter’s father was William McWhirter, one of the signatories of the Cumberland Compact signed in Nashville in 1780 when it was still North Carolina. William came to the French Lick in Nashville with James Robertson’s Overland Party in December 1779.

William married Elizabeth Ferrier(North Carolina). Elizabeth was born in 1720 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; died in 1779 in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
