A brief history of the 9th
Capt. Isaac A. Duncan and Capt. James B. Shurp
organized Co.
"F" at Knoxville, Oct. 17, 1863. We know some members were enrolled in
Dandridge on Sept. 12, 1863.
The 9th Calvalry joined the brigade at Crab Orchard, KY, on
Aug. 24, 1863, and reported to Major General J. G. Park, commander of
the 4th Army Corps. They joined up with Colnel DeCourcy while he was
en-route to Cumberland Gap. They arrived there on Sept. 8th and took
part in the capture of Cumberland Gap on Sept. 9th.
On Oct. 1st, it was reported that the 9th Calvalry was at
Camp
Nelson and 800 persons strong, but had no horses or arms. On Nov. 18 it
was reported that a detachment of the 9th Calvalry was guarding the
Sevierville Rd. about three miles from the bridge. There were no more
reports until April 30, 1864.
In April 1864 the 9th Calvalry was found with the 8th
& 13th Calvalry and was assigned to guarding railroads in the
middle TN area. They were reported at Gallatin from May 31 to Aug. 4th.
They then began a 128 mile march Strawberry Plains in East TN where
they arrived Aug. 18. Several Companies of the 9th TN took part in a
fight at Blue Springs on Aug. 23, 1864, where they ran off the
Confederates. On Aug. 31 they were reported at Bull's Gap TN.
For the next several months they took part in fighting in
East
TN. Sept. 4th at Greenville, where General John Hunt Morgan C.S.A was
killed. Sept. 27 near Greenville and Carters Station. Oct. 12 where
they took the flag of the regiment C.S.A. Brigadier General J. C.
Vaughn. Oct. 21 in the Clinch Valley at Sneedville.
On Nov. 13, it was reported that they held they "held the
enemy in check for over an hour, until all ammunition was exhausted.
Following this engagement they retreated to Strawberry Plains then to
Knoxville where they went into camp at Love's Station on Nov. 16, 1864.
From this time until April 19, 1865 at Boyd's Ferry, it is
sketchy were the 9th went. It is known they were split up several
times. On April 25th they were assigned to Rogersville Junction where
they were used "clear out the country" between the Holsten River and
Cumberland Mountains.
On Sept. 11, 1865, the regiment mustered out of service at
Knoxville.
