Notes |
- A member of the 35th Regiment, CSA...Shirley Barnes.
27 Jul 2008:
Not enumerated in 1850 Warren, DeKalb or White County Census. Can find absolutely nothing on this man. No marriage date. No census records. Thought perhaps that Nancy & Meadie belonged to Caleb Talley. No divorce records. Maybe they are of Caleb and Wright adopted them? Don't know. Did speak to Edith Louise Hennessee Taylor and she remembers her grand-mother as a WRIGHT and did hear the name, 'Mortimer' spoken within the family which seems to confirm the WRIGHT connection...DAH

CONFEDERATE TENNESSEE TROOPS
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.
