HART, ALEXANDER T, Company
A, lst Lieutenant, enlisted in Jackson, TN on 8/18/62 at age
36 (born 9/22/1826). He commanded
Co A from 11/10/62 to 9/17/63 after Captain Smith became a
major, giving Hart $10 extra pay. In
November of 1862 he made a trip to St. Louis, MO to get side
arms for the officers of the regiment. Apparently
he escaped capture at the battles of Lexington and Trenton, TN
but participated in the battle at Parker’s Crossroads, TN on
12/31/62. During that battle he
ordered Sergeant James W. Harris of Company I killed. Lieutenant Hart faced court martial
charges by 1/14/63. He must have
been exonerated since he continued to be an officer until he
resigned. Nothing further is
known of this incident. By June
of 1863 he was sick at La Grange, TN with typhoid pneumonia. He was still ill on 11/30/63
according to the regiment doctor, Joseph McCall.

HART, G(EORGE). Although there are no records in the
muster rolls for this man, there is a G Hart listed in Company
K, 7th TN Cavalry who died in Millen, GA and is buried in
Section A-251 of the Millen Cemetery. This
means he most likely was captured with the regiment at Union
City, TN on 3/24/64 and taken to Andersonville Prison in
Georgia, then removed to Millen, GA. Absolem
Hart of Co K had a brother named George who does not appear in
the 1870 Henderson Co census.

He furnished his own horse and equipment.
Hatch failed to report to parole camp after being
captured at either Lexington or Trenton, TN in December 1862
and was AWOL by 1/20/63. He was
apparently ill with “malformation of the breast bone,
rheumatism and chronic diarrhea.” Hatch
applied for an honorable discharge in July of 1873 and it was
back dated to 5/3/63. He seems to
have been dismissed from the Holly Springs Baptist Church in
Carroll Co, TN in 1877. By 1890
he is listed in the Dunklin Co, MO veterans’ census. He may have been the son of William
Hardeway and Sarah Cary Hatch and a 1st cousin to Sidney I
Hatch of Co D. MR #785

He furnished his own horse and equipment which was

was captured at Ripley, TN and taken to prison in Richmond, VA
where he died of camp fever on 12/20/63.
After the war Captain Martin testified that he gave
Haulmark permission to go home and the charge of desertion was
removed. He seems to have been
the son of George and Margaret Haulmark of Carroll Co,
TN. MR #787

with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64 and taken to
Andersonville Prison in Georgia where he died on 10/1/64. His record also says he was

mistake. He appears to be the son
of Pleasant Halmark, a resident of Carroll Co, TN in the 1850
census. MR #788

1864. Transferred to a much
larger base in Paducah, KY, he remained there until
preparations began for decommissioning the regiment on 8/9/65. Hawkins was the son of Samuel and
Nancy Roberts Hawkins and the husband of Ellen A Ott Hawkins. His wife and family fled to Green
Castle, Indiana during the war due to threats on their lives
but returned to Huntingdon, TN after the war.
A longer bio is in Appendix A of “Hawkins’
Tories.” Isaac Hawkins was
father to Captain Samuel W Hawkins of Co I and cousin to
Captain Aston W Hawkins of Co F. MR #790
HAWKINS, SAMUEL W,
Companies F, A and I, lieutenant/captain, enlisted for 1 year
in Co F in Carroll Co, TN on 8/4/62 and mustered at Trenton,
TN on 9/24/62 at age 18 (born 1/6/44). He

a farmer, born in Carroll Co, TN. He
furnished two horses and equipment and brought a servant with

F under his father’s cousin, Aston W Hawkins.

was captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64
and taken to officers’ prison in Macon, GA.
He spent time in Columbia, SC, as well, before being
paroled through Wilmington, NC on 1/1/64.
He was sent to Camp Chase, OH then returned to duty in
Paducah, KY. There he became
Captain of Co I from 6/1/65 until the regiment disbanded at
Nashville, TN on 8/9/65. He
married Hester B Gardner in 1867, became a lawyer in his

TN on 8/28/62 and mustered there on 9/5/62 at age 46 (b in
Roane Co, TN on 8/4/1818). He
furnished his own horse and equipment. Hays
escaped capture at the battles of Lexington and Trenton, TN
but faced court martial on 1/14/63, probably due to Colonel
Ingersoll’s charges that he fled at the battle of Lexington. Hays was sent on 1/22/63 to get four
witnesses for Lieutenant Colonel Campbell who may have been in
charge of the investigation. Apparently
the charges were dropped as he was an officer with the
detachment at Jackson, TN, then La Grange, Grand Junction and
Saulsbury through most of 1863. A
part of that time (July/August) he was in the hospital. Hays was captured with the regiment
at Union City, TN on 3/24/64 and taken to officer’s prison in
Macon, GA. The story that he went
with his men to Andersonville Prison is incorrect. He was exchanged and received an
early discharge on 3/12/65. In
1860 Hays was in Henderson Co, TN and in 1870 in Decatur Co,
TN. He died on 3/13/87 and is
