According to the Tennessee State Library and Archives, 5 companies of soldiers served from Overton County. They were: Captains John Kennedy, Abel Willis, James Turney, James McConnell, Wiley Huddelston. The names are extremely difficult to read. You may want to order you own copy to double check the names and spellings.<\/p>\n

I acquired two different rolls from the TN state Archives. There was a little different information on each. One copy of the microfilm seemed to be a correction to the other. Each copy of the microfilm had some different information on it. One copy was extremely difficult-to-impossible to read.<\/p>\n

**Additional note: I was reading the list of men who served in the War of 1812 from Overton County, TN. In Capt. John Kennedy’s unit there was at least one other man who served as a private. He was a carpenter from Monroe, John C. Turnley. After his service in the War of 1812, he returned to his parents home in Jefferson County, TN, and remained there. He had many relatives who remained in Overton County. The Turnley family biography gives a report of this service. A copy of the biography written in 1905 is on a CD at the Overton County archives. The Turnleys …<\/em> was writen by his son, P. T. Turnley, and published in 1905 with a supplement in 1908. John C. Turnley was a first cousin of Mary “Polly” Graham Sehorn Walker who operated the Standing Stone Inn on the Walton Road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
