Cottrell Doss, lived near the Lavinia, TN Post Office. She
reported that her husband had been thrown from his horse at some

have died 10/29/1885 in Claybrook, Madison Co, TN. MR #501
DOSS, JOHN C, Companies M &
C, private, enlisted for 3 years in Adamsville, TN on 7/6/63 at

is thought to be buried in the Meridian Cemetery in Weakley Co, TN

and Martha McBride Drury. MR #516
DUKE, BENJAMIN (FRANKLIN), Co
E, private, enlisted for 3 years in Huntingdon, TN on 6/28/62 and
mustered at Humboldt, TN on 8/11/62 at age 33.
His residence was Clarksburg, TN and he was married to
Mariah M. Morris. Duke was mentioned
as "well" in a letter from his brother-in-law, Richard Harvey
Morris, to Morris' wife Margaret on 3/1/64. This
was just days before the regiment was
captured at Union City, TN on 3/24/64. The
men at Union City were taken to Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Duke survived the prison, was exchanged
through Charleston, SC on 12/13/64 and taken to the hospital in
Annapolis, MD. His prison experience
left him too ill to recover, however, and he died in the parole
camp hospital on 2/1/65 of chronic diarrhea at age 35. His effects included, one haversack, one
great coat, 1 drawers, 1 shirt, 2 towels, 3 caps, and 1 shoes. All would have been issued after his
release from prison. Duke was buried
in Ashgrove Cemetery in Maryland in grave #345.
Another source says #1503 Section D-191 so he might have
been moved to the National Cemetery. His
death is recorded in the Shiloh Baptist Church records in Carroll
Co, TN. In 1868 his widow, Mariah
Morris Duke, applied for a pension. She
was still a member at Shiloh Church in 1877. MR #517

left 6/13/63 but returned on 1/13/64. Captured
with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, Duke spent time in
Andersonville Prison in Georgia. He
exchanged through Vicksburg, MS with one of the last groups of the
7th Tennessee to be freed. On
furlough 7/3/65, he probably missed the formal discharge on
8/9/65. He is buried in the Duke
Cemetery in Decatur Co, TN and has a military marker on his grave. He appears to have been the son of
Gideon and Sarah Duke, husband to Martha Flowers Duke (m. 1858)
and brother to James K P Duke, also of Co C. MR #518
DUKE, J(AMES) (K) P(OLK), Co C,

(JAMES) BARNEY DUNN, Companies
A & B, enlisted for 3 years in Lexington, TN on 7/4/62 and
mustered on 8/28/62 giving his age as 54. He
was 6’ tall, dark complexion, grey eyes, brown hair, a farmer,
born in Montgomery Co, NC. He
furnished his own horse and equipment and received a $100 bounty
for enlistment. Absent sick by
February 1864, he missed being captured at Union City in March
1864. His family had moved from
Henderson Co, TN to Johnson Co, IL by this time so he was sent
home to his family doctor suffering with epilepsy, hernia, age and
prostration. Dr. Arbuckle, of the 7th
Tennessee, told his family doctor to keep him at home and he was
never discharged. He mustered out at
age 67 which doesn’t compute with his enlistment age. His wife was
Mary Barrett Dunn. He died on 3/11/70
and is buried in Mt. Pisgah Cemetery in Cypress, Johnson Co,
IL. At least three of his sons, Benjamin C Dunn, William R
Dunn and George R Dunn served in the 7th Tennessee. MR #523
DUNN, BENJAMIN C, Co K,
enlisted by Captain John Beatty for 3 years in Henderson Co on
5/2/63 at age 21. He was 5’10” tall,
light complexion, light eyes, light hair, a farmer, born in

own horse and equipment. On detached
recruiting duty in June of 1863, he was present in July and August
then went AWOL from Grand Junction, TN. Present
again by 11/12/63, he has no discharge recorded.
Mary S Dunn, who applied for a widow’s pension in 1864,
might be his wife. If so, Dunn may
have died during the war. Benjamin
Dunn enlisted on the same day and place as his brother William R
Dunn, also of Co K. They both appear to be the sons of
Barney and Mary Barrett Dunn. MR #529
DUNN, GEORGE R and B, were
privates in Companies C and A. Apparently
there was a George R Dunn and a George B Dunn in this regiment. Their records are mixed together and are
difficult to separate. It appears
that George R Dunn was enlisted by Captain Hayes
for 3 years at Lexington, TN on 8/28/62 at age 20.
He was 6’ tall, fair complexion, yellow eyes, dark hair, a
farmer, born in Tennessee. This
appears to be the right George since it is known that George R was
born in Tennessee. George
H Dunn was 5’11” tall, dark complexion, blue eyes, dark
hair, a farmer, born in Franklin Co, AL. One
of these men was captured at Union City, TN in March 1864, taken
to Andersonville Prison and exchanged through Vicksburg, MS on
4/9/65. The other was AWOL in March
1864 and was arrested in Johnson Co, IL. Both
men end up in Johnson Co, IL after the war. George
R Dunn applied for an invalid pension in 1871.
The pension papers would most likely solve the identity
problem. George B Dunn died
10/25/1894 in Cache Township, Johnson Co, IL. MR #530
DUNN, ISAAC,
Co A. His mother applied for a dependent pension but it was
denied. Dunn has no records in the muster rolls of the 7th

is no return mentioned in the muster rolls. His
wife was Sarah A Dunn. MR #531
DUNN, WILLIAM R, Co K, enlisted for 3 years by Captain Beatty on 5/2/63 in Henderson Co, TN, same time as his brother Benjamin C Dunn, also of Co K. He was 6’ tall, light complexion, light eyes, light hair, born in Henderson Co, TN, a farmer. He went AWOL but was restored. Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, he spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia. In a pension application for the widow of William H Griswell, Dunn wrote in later years that he was an eyewitness to the cruel treatment and death of Griswell in Andersonville. Exchanged through Savannah, GA on 11/23/64, Dunn was taken to Annapolis MD by 2/20/65. He was discharged with the regiment at Nashville, TN on 8/9/65. He applied for an invalid pension in 1879 and his widow Lucinda J applied in 1881. He seems to have died in Cache Township, Johnson Co, IL on 12/30/1880. He was the son of Barney Dunn of Company A. MR #532

F, private, enlisted for 1 year at Trenton, TN on 9/20/62 and
mustered at Trenton on 9/24/62 at age 18 or 20.
He was 6’1 ¾” tall, fair complexion, blue eyes,
