The organization of Brown's Horse Artillery started on 23rd September 1862 at Lexington,&nbsp;Kentucky, but was interrupted when the town was evacuated.&nbsp; "With condemned horses, patched-up stage-harness, and barely men enough to drive the guns, a battery-wagon and caisson were brought through safely to Knoxville, Tenn.


=== Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin  ===
"The battery was divided on May 7, 1863; fist section going with&nbsp;Gen. Pegram to Monticello, Ky.; second section to Kingston, Tenn.&nbsp; The battery returned, and was reunited at Knoxville, Tenn., June 30, 1863."


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.
