John Cross - Sgt., Co. B; 14th TN Infantry

John Cross served in the 14th Tennessee Infantry during the Civil War. He joined the regiment at Camp Duncan, Tennessee, on May 17, 1861. He enlisted at the rank of private and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.

On December 13, 1862, in the Battle of Fredricksburg, John Cross was wounded when he was shot in the foot. He was treated at Wayside Hospital #9 and sent to Chimborazzo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia for treatment of a gunshot wound to the right foot. He lost two toes from the wound. He returned to duty on August 8, 1862. In his application for a Tennessee Civil War pension, he wrote, "I was wounded in the heat of battle at Fredricksburg." He also stated that he returned to his regiment early, preferring that to the hospital.

John returned to duty and received new clothing at Camp Winder, Virginia. He arrived on May 3, 1863, in time to engage in the Battle of Chancellorsville. He was again wounded in this battle. He was treated at Wayside and Receiving Hospital #9 and was then sent to Chimborazzo Hospital #1 in Richmond. He was treated for a leg wound. John described this wound, "I was shot in the thigh about halfway between my knee and hip and the ball ranged up came out under my hip bone, which gave me much pain. In 1906, Dr. Glasgow wrote in John Cross' pension application, "I find him suffering from nervous tremble, known as palsy, caused from the wound he got in the hip and thigh. I have been his physician for 10-12 years and noticed this tremble increasing all the time. He is unable to do manual labor at all. While he can walk some, he can't use his hands, they are continually shaking all the time. He is disabled from any work and will continue to get worse."

John Cross recovered from this wound and returned for duty on September 2, 1863. His hospitalization had caused him to miss two major battles, Gettysburg (July 1-5, 1863) and Falling Waters (July 14, 1863).

W. F. Thomas, and J. M. Lewis, two old friends, wrote about John Cross, "He was a good and true soldier, who fought from the first of the war to the finish & he has his parole he got at Lee's surrender. He has been an upright honorable citizen ever since the war and is totally disable to do any work as his hands shake so he can't write his name.

After the war John remained an unreconstructed rebel. He answered the question on his pension application, Did you sign a loyalty oath by writing in a very large "NO"

John returned from the war to Stewart and Houston Counties in Tennessee where he lived the remainder of his life. He raised a large family of twelve children. His occupations included mining iron ore, blacksmithing, and farming. He died at his farm in Houston County, Tennessee, on July 4, 1906.

Joseph Griffin - Pvt., Co. I, 8th TN Cavalry (4th Regiment)

(Note that there were two Joseph Griffin's living in Stewart County at the same time). My Joseph Griffin was born About 1802/07 in North Carolina. He married Rebecca, last name unknown, who was born About 1814. The Civil War info I've found is as follows:

I know from recent evidence found in a book titled, "Tennesseans In the Civil War", that Joseph was enlisted in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Joseph enlisted as a private in the 8th (Baxter Smith's) Cavalry, Company I and was later known as the 4th Regiment Tennessee Cavalry. Joseph was enlisted on June 15, 1862 in Overton County by Capt. McMillan. However, Joseph appears on a list of Rebel Deserters who have taken the oath at the Provost Marshal General's Office, Knoxville, Tenn., from Dec. 29, 1863, to Jan. 31, 1864. Joseph was present on May 28, 1863 and was never paid.

After locating military records which indicate that Joseph had deserted the Confederate Army we find the following regimental history also located in the book titled, "Tennesseans in the Civil War".

A regimental report dated June 30, 1963, gives an account of the regiment's activities up until that time; "The regiment marched from Shelbyville to Fort Donelson via Franklin, Triune and Charlotte, a distance of 125 miles, the men suffering greatly both to and from the place. The fight resulted in our losing 26 men killed and wounded. Back to Shelbyville, then to Woodbury (60 miles); engaged several times with the enemy, being on picket duty there we were twice surrounded, losing about 70 killed wounded and missing, the killed and captured about 80 men (sic).

No evidence was located which states that Joseph was killed. However, when the bodies of the troops were not located, it was not uncommon for them to be listed as missing or as deserters. So, more than likely, Joseph was among those killed during this battle.

Currently, I am still trying to locate Joseph's family in 1870. Note that Rebecca did not draw a pension from the State of Tennessee. To date, I've been unsuccessful in locating the family in 1870. I must assume that most of the family didn't live past the end of the Civil War.

John Griffin, Joseph's youngest son, told some of his grandchildren, that his father had died during the Civil War, however, he never elaborated on any of the details. John was only 10 years old when the Civil War ended in 1865. He did say that they came from a place called "Chimney Rock or Standing Rock". I've been unable to locate either of these place names in North Carolina.

W. A. Moore - Capt., Co. A, 50th TN Infantry

"War Record of Captain W. A. Moore, Halls, Tennessee"
"I am an old soldier, and am proud of my cross of honor."
"When the Civil War began, I was bookkeeper for Mr. John Wyly of Waverly. I went to Cumberland City, my father and mother's home, William and Mary (Lewis) Moore. We soon had a company of one hundred men, and I was honored with the Captaincy of Company A, Sharpshooters, in the 50th Tennessee Regiment, Infantry. Brother Burk was First Lieutenant, Brother John was a Non-Commissioned Officer. We were ordered from Fort Donaldson to Fort Henry: that was our first battle. We fought at Fort Donaldson until General Buckner surrendered to General Grant. Burk and I, with many others, were sent to Johnson Island, Lake Erie, and were exchanged at Vicksburg."
"I was ranking Colonel until the regiment could be organized. I had a battery of coolies***how they loved to fight!"
"I also had two companies of infantry: Esq. Jack Rogers belonged to one of them. When we got home, we often spoke about where we had met last. Several fo my men were in the hospital at Port Hudson: George Fentress died there. We were at Fort Gibson, Mobile, Grenada, Meredian, Jackson, Missionary Ridge, Chicamauga, Lookout Mountain, and also in the celebrated "Hundred Days Fight". I was captured at Kennesaw Mountain and sent again to Johnson Island, where I was kept until the war was ended. Lieutenant Jim Johnson died there. Lawyer Hugh McAdoo loaned us money to get clothes."
"My brother and I got home to our praying and happy parents: it was a happy meeting."
"I am eighty years old: God has never forsaken me, and I thank Him for friends and loved ones."

They were traded in prisoner exchange at Vicksburg. Got to Shiloh the last day. Further fought at Chicamauga Creek, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Resaca, and Franklin, TN.

Andrew Jackson Weaks - Co. C, 2nd Kentucky

Andrew Jackson Weaks, son of William B. Weaks and Nancy Emily (Gray) Weaks of Cumberland City, TN, enlisted with Co. C, 2nd Kentucky.
He evidently fought at Forts Henry and Donelson with Lt. General N. B. Forrest.
He fought at a place called "Cross Rodes" [sic], near Jackson.
He also fought near Triune, Farmington, Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Dalton (GA), Atlanta, etc.
His last action prior to surrender and parole at Washington, GA was to escort Pres. Davis just before his capture. I have this information from a book compiling the answers of Tennessee Civil War veterans to one of two questionnaires issued back in the '20's. I do not, unfortunately, have the title of that work, but I got it from the Long Beach Public Library in Long Beach, CA.
My maternal grandmother, Annie Emily (Weaks) McCarty (Before she died in 1971, a resident of Erin, TN), used to tell me about my ancestor, and so, when given the opportunity, looked him up in the records at our local library.

Carroll to recruit a company, and swear in the individuals as recruted before a magistrate. He began the organization August 12, 1861, and completed the enrollment September 16. The men were from Montgomery, Dickson and Cheatham Counties, and the origional muster roll bore a note that the company was being organized for a regiment being assembled at Fort Donelson by Colonel Heiman, who was colonel of the 10th Tennessee Regiment, and at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. George W. Stacker (to Colonel), N.T. Allmon, George W. Pease (to Lieutenant colonel), Co"B". Enrolled September 9, 1861 at Cumberland City, Stewart County.

Colonel Stacker resigned January 20, 1862, and Lieutenant Colonel Sugg became colonel, Major Lockhart became Lieutenant colonel and Adjutant Christopher W. Robertson ws elected major. At the reorganization in 1862 Colonel Susgg was re-elected; Lieutenant Colonel Lockhart resigned, Captain Thomas W. Beaumont was elected lieutenant Colonel and Major Robertson was re-elected. On January 2, 1862, Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, who had taken command at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson mentioned the 49th and 50th Tennessee Regiments as only just organized at Fort Donelson. On January 21, the 50th reported 499 present for duty, 847 present and absent on February 9, 1862 the 30th 49th, and 50th Tennessee Regiments were formed into a brigade under Colonel J.W. Head.(30th), and assigned as the garrison of the fort, and in support of the water batteries, Captain T.W. Beaumont, with Company "A" of the 50th was called upon in the afternoon of Fegruary 15 to help repel an attack on the position held by Brigadier General Simon Buckner's Division. The regiment was surrendered February 16, but about half the regiment escaped capture. On March 19, 1862 two men from the 50th were reported on a list of prisoners at Camp Butler who desired to take the oath of allegiance to the Federal government, and on April 10, a petition from men in the 42nd, 48th, 49th, and 50th Tennessee Regiments at Camp Douglas was sent to Andrew Johnson, then Military Governor of Tennessee, requestimg him to use his influence to secure permission for them to take the oath of allegiance and return to their homes. Subsequent action on this petition is unreported. The following history of the regiment is taken from a regimental return dated at Tilton, Georgia, January 26, 1864, but, unsigned: "This, the 50th Tennessee Regiment, was organized at Fort Donelson December 25, 1861, and formed a portion of the garrison at that place until the surrender of the fort on February 16, 1862, at which place and time the majority being captured, were hurled into the Northern Prisons at different points: officers at Fort Warren, Camp Chase and Johnson's Island, Ohio; (actually Fort Warren was in Massachusetts; Camp Chase in Ohio, and Johnson's Island in Illinois); the greater part of the enlisted men being sent to Camp Douglass, Illinois, alll remaining prisoners seven months, then being exchanged at Vicksburg, Mississippi, reorganized the command at Jackson, Mississippi on 23-24 September, 1862, and entered the heavy campaigns of Mississippi and East Louisana. Took active part in engagement on Chickasaw Bayou near Vicksburg in latter part December, '62. Remained at Port Hudson, Louisiana from January 7 to May 2, 1863, enduring one good shelling in this times. Gregg's Brigade, to whickh we belonged marched from thence to Jackson, Mississippi, thence to Raymond, Mississippi where on May 12, 1863 took active part in engagement which lasted several hours. When forced by a whole corps, retired slowly to Jackson. Spent the summer months marching thru the state. On July 9, entered the rifle pits at Jackson, fought the enemy till July 16, fell back to Morton, thence to Enterprise, Mississippi. Left for Tennessee Army, unfortunately being on a train that ran in collision with another engine, there losing nearly 100 of our little command. Went into Battle of Chickamauga with 190 men engaged on November 25, 1863 at Missionary Ridge, losing 36. N.B. We regret to say that our much beloved Colonel Sugg died on the 25th inst. News just received." Brigadier General John Gregg's Brigade, to which the report refers, was organized by Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton, December 27, 1862, and was composed of the 3rd/30th, 10th/41st, 50th, and 51st Tennessee Regiments, 1st (Colms') Tennessee Infantry Battalion, and was first placed in Brigadier General C.L.Stevenson's Division. On January 3, 1863 the 50th/51st Regiments, 1st Battalion consolidated reported 512 effectives. At Port Hudson, the brigade was a part of the forces commanded by Major General Franklin Gardner. On April 30th, the 9th Louisiana Battalion, 7th Texas Infantry Regiment, and Bledsoe's Battery were reported as additional members of the brigade. At this time the 41st/50th/51st Regiments and 1st Battalion were serving as a consolidated unit under Lieutenant Colonel T.W. Beaumont. On May 26th Gregg's Brigade had been transferred to the division of Major General W.H.T. Walker, with the 14th Mississippi Regiment added, and the 9th Louisiana Battalion and the 51st Tennessee Regiment had gone. On August 30, three companies of the 50th were reported as being in Sequatchie County, Tennessee. At Chickamauga, September 19-20, Gregg's Brigade, composed of the 3rd, 10th, 30th, 41st, 50th Tennessee Infantry Regiments, 1st Tennessee Infantry Gattalion, and 7th Texas Regiment, was in Brigadier General Bushrod Johnson's Provisional DIvision. The 50th reported104 present for duty on September 19, before the battle, and was comanded successively by Colonel Sugg, Lieutenant Colonel Beaumont, Major Robertson, and Colonel Calvin Walker of the 3rd Tennessee.General Gregg was wounded, and Colonel Sugg took command of the brigade; Lieutenant Colonel Beaaumont was killed; and Major Robertson mortally wounded. Colonel Sugg was himself wounded four times, but not seriously. Prior to the Battle of Missionary Ridge, on November 25, 1863, Gregg's Brigade was broken up and the 50th transferred to Brigadier General George Maney's Brigade, composed of the 1st/27th, 4th Confederate (34th), 6th/9th, 41st and 50th Tennessee Regiments, and th 24th Sharpshooter Battalion. Maney's Brigade was sent to the support of General Cleburnes's Division on Tunnel Hill, were a successful defense was made until the center of the line on Cleburne's left was broken. At Missionary Ridge, Colonel Sugg was mortally wounded. The regiment in these two battles lost all its field officers, many of its company officers and most of its men. From Missionary Ridge, the regiment retreated to Tilton Station, Whitfield County, Georgia, where it remained for some time. On December 14 the 50th reported only 69 effectives, 90 present, 52 arms. On February 20, 1864, the brigade was transferred to Lieutenant General W.J.Hardee's Corps,Major General B.F.Cheatham's Division, were it remained for the duration. On February 24, 1864 the 50th Regiment was consolidated with Colm's 1st Battalion to form the 50th Tennessee Regiment, consolidated, or the 50th Tennessee Regiment, New Organization, and Captain George W. Pease of the 50th Regiment Lieutenant Colonel. Apparently the 34th (4th Confederate) was origionally included in the consolidation , for Lieutenant Colonel Oliver A. Bradshaw of the 34th was sometimes reported as Lieutenant Colonel of the new organization, and George W. Pease as major. However, this must have been an unofficial consolidation, for the 34th continued its seperate existence. Consolidated Regiment Field Officers Colonel-Stephen H. Colms. Lieutenant Colonel-George W. Pease Captains-W.A. Moore, Co."A". A consolidation of "A" and "B" of old 50th Regiment.George A. Eastham, Co."B", formerly Co. "A", 1st (Colm's) Battalion. J.T..Reid, Co. "C", formerly Co. "C" of old 50th. William' Company, Commanded by Lieutenant Pinkney Brandon, CO. "D" formerly Co. "D" of old 50th Regiment.Richard T. Hewell, Co. "F" formerly Co. "F" of old 50th Regiment Samuel Mays, J.J. McCauley, Co. "G". A COnsolidation of "G" and "K" of old 50th Regiment. G.W. Watson, Co. "H". A consolidation of "B" and "E", 1st Battalion S.T. Allen, Co. "I". A consolidation of "H" an "I". of old 50th Regiment Newton J. Thompson, Co. "K". A consolidation of "C" and "D", 1st Battalion. The last report from the regiment stated it moved from Tilton, Georgia to Demopholis, Alabama, and back to Dalton, Georgia arriving at Dalton February 29th, 1864. A company report for May-June, 1863 at Vernon, Mississippi is of interest because it depicts the condition of most Confederate regiments; "We have been half clothed since entering the service, and have been partially paid once. As will be seen above, part of the company have never been paid, and have due them nearly two years' pay. Those that have been paid have eleven months due them. The men are much demoralized on account of the inattention paid them.

(Signed)W.C.Allen, Captain Company"A".

As a part of Maney's Brigade it participated in the rest of the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee, including the final move to North Carolina to join General Joseph E. Johnston. On December 10, 1864, Lieutenant Colonel George W. Pease was reported in Command of a consolidated unit composed of the 4th Confederate (34th)/6th/9th/ and 50th Tennessee Regiments. The regiment is not accounted for in the order of battle for Johnstons' Army dated March 31, 1865 at Smithfield, North Carolina, but on April 9, 1865 it was reported as part of the 2nd Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment, composed of the 11th, 12th, 13th, 28th, 47th, 50th, 52nd, and 154th Tennessee Regiments, commanded Colonel Horace Rice, with Lieutenant Colonel George W. Pease of the 50th as second in command. This regiment was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina May 2, 1865, with the rest of Johnstons' Army, and Lindsley's Annals, states there were 37 men from the 50th to answer the final roll call. A comparison of names on the muster rolls indicates that the 50th Consolidated formed Company "I" of this regiment.

Citizen oaths of allegiance signatures, 1862-1864

During the occupation of Stewart County by Federal troops during the war, at various times citizens in the area were expected (or possibly compelled) to sign an oath of allegiance to the United States, under the direction of the local Union Provost Marshal at Fort Donelson or Clarksville.  What survives are lists of signatures of these citizens (or at least their name, if the person was unable to sign), and these lists serve as an additional 'census' of the county for the time period.  Note that the lists below contain the signatures/names of both Stewart County and Trigg County citizens.  These are not a complete list of citizens living in the county - the names seem to be those who lived closer to Fort Donelson or Fort Henry - but are a valuable research source nonetheless.  If your ancestor's name appears on the list, you know that he or she was living in the county at the time the list was compiled, and in most cases, what appears on the list is the person's actual signature or their mark.

These lists are part of National Archives Publication M416, "Union Provost Marshal Records Pertaining to Two or More Civilians".  Each item in this massive collection is assigned a number, and there is no particular scheme to the numbering of the items in the collection.  The complete set of images for this National Archives Publication is online at the FamilySearch web site - the direct link to this collection is here.  Note also that there is a separate National Archives collection known as the "Union Provost Marshal Files of Individual Civilians, 1861-1866," whose items pertain to a specific person.  That collection is also available from the FamilySearch web site here.
