Brief History[edit | edit source]

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.

Other Sources[edit | edit source]

National Park Service, The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System, is searchable by soldier's name and state. It contains basic facts about soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, a list of regiments, descriptions of significant battles, sources of the information, and suggestions for where to find additional information.

-A letter from Felix H. Blackman, dated September 25, 1902, stated that he was formerly an officer in the 1st (McNairy's) Cavalry Battalion, and was left as a supernumerary officer when this battalion was consolidated with the 7th Battalion to form the 22nd (Barteau's) Regiment. He secured a commission as captain from Brigadier General Sterling Price, with authoritv to recruit a company, and came back to Tennessee and organized a company of cavalry which served with Major Dick McCann as McCann's Squadron until after the Battle of Nlurfreesboro on December 31, 1862. He stated that McCann's commission had been obtained from Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan, and that both companies went with General Morgan on the Ohio raid, where he (Blackman) was captured, and not released until June, 1865."
