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.

-"Also called Baxter's (1st Organization); Freeman's Battery; Company "B", Monsarrat's Tennessee Light Artillery Battalion - This company was originally part of Captain George H. Monsarrat's Battery, "The Harding Artillery", which was enrolled at Camp Harris, Nashville, May 15, 1861.  On November 20, 1861 it was reported as Company "B", Monsarrat's Battalion at Camp Lookout, near Chattanooga.  On December 9, 1861, Brigadier General W.H. Carroll, at Knoxville, in reporting on the forces in East Tennessee, listed Captain Monsarrat's Company near Knoxville, with E. Baxter as Senior 1st Lieutenant, and Freeman as 2nd Lieutenant.  Captain Monsarrat was reported as Post Commandant at Knoxville, on December 27, 1861, and the battery, at about this time, was divided into two parts, one of which was Captain H. Baker's Battery, the other this battery under Captain Ed Baxter, although it continued to be referred to as Monsarrat's Battery until April, 1862.  <ref>Tennesseans in the Civil War, [http://www.tngenweb.org/civilwar/csaart/huggin.html Captain Amariah L.
