      35th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry (5th Infantry) (1st Mountain Rifle Regiment)

      35th Infantry Regiment formerly the 5th Tennessee Regiment Provisional Army, [also called 1st Mountain Rifle Regiment] was organized during September, 1861, at Camp Smartt, near McMinnville, Tennessee. Its men were from the counties of Grundy, Warren, Van Buren, Cannon, Sequatchie, DeKalb, Hamilton, and Bledsoe. It fought at Shiloh, Shelton's Hill, Richmond, Perryville, then moved to Knoxville, Shelbyville, and later Murfreesboro. During the war it was assigned to General L.E. Polk's, Granbury's, and Palmer's Brigade, Army of Tennessee, and from September, 1863, to April, 1864, consolidated with Nixon's 48th Regiment. The 35th participated in many battles from Murfreesboro to Atlanta, returned to Tennesee with Hood, and saw action in North Carolina. It had 369 engaged at Shiloh, lost nine percent of the 295 in the Richmond fight, and sustained 25 casualties at Murfreesboro. Twenty-nine percent of the 215 at Chickamauga were disabled and in December, 1863, the 35th/48th totalled 251 men and 207 arms. On April 26, 1865, it surrendered. The field officers were Colonel Benjamin J. Hill; Lieutenant Colonels R.B. Roberts, Joseph A. Smith, and John L. Spurlock; and Majors Joseph Brown, William W.J. Broawnlow, and G.S. Deakins.

      Some years ago a number of old books and ledgers were discarded from the courthouse and were slated for the garbage dump when the courthouse janitor called me thinking I might want to survey the discarded material. I picked up all the books. Among them was a ledger containing a listing of insolvent estates for the period 1860-1881. Also listed in the ledgers was the Tax List for the 14th Civil District of Warren County for the year 1859.

      It will be noted that the period following the Civil War was a difficult economic period for many residents who were considered somewhat wealthy prior to the conflict. This listing is valuable in determining the approximate death date of the individual involved in the insolvency.
