four companies from Washington county

Wythe, Carroll, and Montgomery each.
This regiment was with the Eastern army

that section of the State against inya-

manned there until the summer of 1853
when ii was ordered into Tennessee. IL
then numbered upwards of 800 men. The
regiment went by rail TO Knoxville, ana
