Oxendine Family
Oxendine Family
Lumbee American Indians
The Lumbee Indians are named after the Lumbee River, and reside mostly in North Carolina / South Carolina. They were made up of Cheraw Indians (Siouan) and Croatan Indians (Algonquian). The reason tribes merged in early days was because the settlers brought smallpox and other diseases with them, and many tribes lost up to 90% of their members. The remaining survivors had to regroup together with other local Indians to rebuild. Records date back to the 1700s on this group of Indians. Common family names in the Lumbee tribe are Brayboy, Brooks, Carter, Locklear, Lowry, Oxendine, and Revels. It's rumored that the lost town of Roanoke actually merged in with the Croatan Indians - they carved the word "Croatoan" on a tree when they left, and didn't leave any other emergency indicators that it had been a raid. The Lumbees did indeed have surnames used that matched those of settlers, and spoke fluent English, even in those early days.
Lost Colony of Roanoke
Because of this early influx of English language and style, most traditional clothing and information was lost. The Lumbee were dressing like "everyone else" by the time people started documenting things. It is assumed they wore beaded headbands with a feather or two, and knee-length skirts (women) or breechcloth (men). Moccassins were common for all Indian footwear. When Scottish immigrants "found" the Lumbee Indians in Robeson County, North Carolina in the 1730s, the Indians already were speaking English and living in English style houses.
Crafts included basketry and wood carvings. Food included deer, turkey, corn, beans, and squash - but again the English came in so quickly that soon they were living much as other settlers did.
The Lumbees were very mixed race right from that beginning, and were often not really considered "Indians" when things such as the Trail of Tears occurred. In addition to absorbing the entire Roanoke colony, they also intermarried with blacks and other Indians. In the mid to late 1800s, there are records saying that the Indians in North Carolina (i.e. the Lumbees) were sent to special schools along with the Negros. They were not allowed into the white schools.
By 1910 the Croatans (i.e. Lumbees) didn't like their original name; it was being used as a term of derision in their homelands. They started calling themselves Cherokee. This upset the main Cherokees who felt the tribes were quite distinct. So in 1933 the Lumbees officially adopted the title of Lumbee, from a river in the region.
John "Figro" Oxendine
John, born around 1694-96, a mixed-race man [the African-American book] in Virginia who was" bound as a servant" till age 31. He sued William and Elizabeth Wildey for his freedom in Northumberland County, Virginia. in January 1724. His name was written- John Oxendine- in Northumberland County Virginia. court records dated 1727, 1734 and 1741. However, Northumberland County Virginia church records spelt his name -John Oxendane -when his children were born during the 1730's. He married Sarah Oxendine.
The birth of John's children was recorded in 'Virginia County Court Abstracts, v.3, Northumberland County Record of Births, page 112'." From Charles Oxendine's book, titled, "Oxendine Census Records, 1790-1920".
He lived in Northumberland County in the 1730’s; Bladen County, North Carolina in the 1750’s and was still alive in 1758 as he wanted to be excused from paying taxes. on 27 August 1753.
On 27 August 1753, John Johnson Jr. entered 100 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina on the north side of Pugh's marsh whereon John Oxendine was then living. (Bladen County Land Entries #805). In 1759 , he and two of his sons, John and Benjamin, lived in the Drowning Creek area of Bladen County, North Carolina which is the upper part of the Lumbee River area, where his son, John, buys 100 acres including improvements from his father, John Oxendine, Sr. some years later, the family moved on to South Carolina. He died in1759.
They had the following children:
Cudworth Oxendine was between in 1740-1750 in Bladen County, North Carolina. He died in 1820.
Benjamin Oxendine was born on 12 April 1733 in Northumberland County, Virginia. He died in 1758.

Charles Oxendine was born in 1741. He died on 7 Sep 1808 in Robeson, North Carolina.
Cudworth “Cood"Oxendine
Cudworth was born sometime between 1741 and 1750, in Bladen County, North Carolina. Cudworth's father was John Oxendine from Northumberland Virginia - which is far back as our records go. Cudworth was a taxable "Mulato" in Bladen County in 1768 and 1769. Note that in 1787, this section of Bladen County, North Carolina became Robeson County, North Carolina.
Note that some rumors say that Cudworth was a "Cherokee Chief". First, the Oxendines weren't Cherokees; they were Croateans which later renamed themselves to Lumbees because Croatean became a term of derision. Next, Cud's father was a servant who was freed; while they seem to be of mixed blood / Indian stock and marrying in with others of mixed blood / Indian stock, there's no evidence of Cud's father or Cud himself being a chief.

Thomas Smith
Thomas Smith was born and reared in the southern part of WestmoreUland County. It is believed that his date of birth was between 1700 and 1710. This is based on the birth date of Elizabeth, his wife, and the birth of their children, the first of whom appears to have been born about 1740.Thomas married Elizabeth Fleming.of Richmond County, Virginia. Richmond County lies along the western side of Westmoreland County. Elizaabeth, born February 18, 1710, was the daughter of Alexander Fleming and Sarah Kennedy Fleming, Elizabeth's parents married in 1691. Elizabeth's mother, Sarah, was the daughter of John Kennedy of Rappahannock County. Elizabeth's father, Alexander, died a few months after she was born. When Thomas' father, Peter Smith, made his will in 1738, Thomas and Elizabeth were living in Prince William County, Virginia on the 325 acres of land subsequently left to him in his father's will. This land was a part of the 1160 acres of land that Peter patented in 1712. When Fairfax County was formed from Prince William County in 1742, the land was in Fairfax County.In 1747, Thomas sold his land to Daniel Jennings:This Indenture made the fourteenth day of April 1747 between Thomas Smith of Truro Parish in Fairfax County, planter, & Daniel Jennings of same ... for the sum of one hundred pounds current money of Virginia ... sells 325 acres ... which Peter Smith, father of said Thomas, by his last will and testament dated the 10th day of January 1738, did give & bequeath unto his son, Thomas Smith ... being part of 1160 acres granted ... to Peter Smith bearing date 30th June 1712 which said 325 acres of land is where the said Thomas Smith now dwelleth at Bull run adjoining to the land of his Brother, James ...

On 22 October 1747, Daniel Jennings paid Thomas the one hundred pounds for the 325 acres of land.In 1749, Thomas leased 133 acres of land for 99 years, across Bull Run Creek in Prince William County. The lease is shown on the following page.This Indenture made this 22nd day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty nine Between Francis Watts of the County of Prince William of one part and Thomas Smith of the aforesaid County of the other part Witnesseth that said Francis Watts doth agree with said Thomas Smith for the Fee Rent of Five hundred pounds of tobacco doth Lease farm lett and make over to the said Thomas Smith a parcel of land for the space of Ninety nine years being in the County of Prince William on Bull Run and bounded Beginning at a marked Beech thence South East to a Spanish Oak Corner tree thence No. East to Bull Run thence up the said Run to the beginning the same containing One hundred and Thirty three acres of land and the said Thomas Smith doth agree to build a suffishen dwelling house and tobacco house and Corn house and to plant an Apple Orchid of one hundred and fifty trees and to keep them under good fence in good repare and not make wilfull waste of the Timber and the rent to become due on the twenty fifth day of December yearly after the first three years is compleated and not to be straneable until three months after same shall become dew and to be payed in one Note at some convenient Warehouse every year and the first rent to become dew the twenty fifth of December in the year one thousand seven hundred and fifty one.

It is recorded that he was a participant in the Battle of Cowpens in Jan. 1781 and was probably at the battle of Guilford Courthouse 17 March 1781.The next item in their story is the sale of 50 acres of the Butramtown Creek property for five pounds to Charles Smith in March 1791. Then on 28 March 1803 Daniel deeded 312 acres of the Buttramtown Creek land to “ my sons James, Peter and John.” In 1810 James and Sarah sold their interest in this land to Peter and John and Rachel sold theirs to Charles. ( I have a note that Peter sold his interest in this land to Charles but the date is not included.) A letter written by Rachel Packwood’s father in 1811 shows that Daniel Smith was still living. He died in 1811 Henry County, Virginia.

Thomas Smith
Thomas Smith was born and reared in the southern part of WestmoreUland County. It is believed that his date of birth was between 1700 and 1710. This is based on the birth date of Elizabeth, his wife, and the birth of their children, the first of whom appears to have been born about 1740.Thomas married Elizabeth Fleming.of Richmond County, Virginia. Richmond County lies along the western side of Westmoreland County. Elizaabeth, born February 18, 1710, was the daughter of Alexander Fleming and Sarah Kennedy Fleming, Elizabeth's parents married in 1691. Elizabeth's mother, Sarah, was the daughter of John Kennedy of Rappahannock County. Elizabeth's father, Alexander, died a few months after she was born. When Thomas' father, Peter Smith, made his will in 1738, Thomas and Elizabeth were living in Prince William County, Virginia on the 325 acres of land subsequently left to him in his father's will. This land was a part of the 1160 acres of land that Peter patented in 1712. When Fairfax County was formed from Prince William County in 1742, the land was in Fairfax County.In 1747, Thomas sold his land to Daniel Jennings:This Indenture made the fourteenth day of April 1747 between Thomas Smith of Truro Parish in Fairfax County, planter, & Daniel Jennings of same ... for the sum of one hundred pounds current money of Virginia ... sells 325 acres ... which Peter Smith, father of said Thomas, by his last will and testament dated the 10th day of January 1738, did give & bequeath unto his son, Thomas Smith ... being part of 1160 acres granted ... to Peter Smith bearing date 30th June 1712 which said 325 acres of land is where the said Thomas Smith now dwelleth at Bull run adjoining to the land of his Brother, James ...

Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Smith relinquished her right of dower.The same day Elizabeth relinquished her dower, Thomas borrowed five hundred pounds current Virginia money from Daniel Jennings. On 22 October 1747, Daniel Jennings paid Thomas the one hundred pounds for the 325 acres of land.In 1749, Thomas leased 133 acres of land for 99 years, across Bull Run Creek in Prince William County. The lease is shown on the following page.This Indenture made this 22nd day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty nine Between Francis Watts of the County of Prince William of one part and Thomas Smith of the aforesaid County of the other part Witnesseth that said Francis Watts doth agree with said Thomas Smith for the Fee Rent of Five hundred pounds of tobacco doth Lease farm lett and make over to the said Thomas Smith a parcel of land for the space of Ninety nine years being in the County of Prince William on Bull Run and bounded Beginning at a marked Beech thence South East to a Spanish Oak Corner tree thence No. East to Bull Run thence up the said Run to the beginning the same containing One hundred and Thirty three acres of land and the said Thomas Smith doth agree to build a suffishen dwelling house and tobacco house and Corn house and to plant an Apple Orchid of one hundred and fifty trees and to keep them under good fence in good repare and not make wilfull waste of the Timber and the rent to become due on the twenty fifth day of December yearly after the first three years is compleated and not to be straneable until three months after same shall become dew and to be payed in one Note at some convenient Warehouse every year and the first rent to become dew the twenty fifth of December in the year one thousand seven hundred and fifty one.

Francis Watts.In 1766, Thomas, Elizabeth and other members of their family were part of a group of sixty-one people who moved their membership from the Broad Run Baptist Church in Fauquier County, Virginia to establish the Chappawamsic Baptist Church in Stafford County, Virginia. In 1776, Thomas, two of his sons, and other individuals petitioned the Virginia Legislature to establish a Baptist Church at Occoquan, Virginia, near their home. The Smiths listed in the petition were: Thos. Smith, James Smith and Charles Smith.[10]He died 12 September 1778 Prince William, Virginia. Thomas died in Prince William County, where he lived, in 1778. He did not leave a will but an inventory and distribution of the estate is quite detailed in describing his possessions and naming his wife and children.

Johannes Lichtenberger
Johannes was born in 1438 in Braunschweig, Kingdom of Brunswick, Saxony. He died in 1503. His occupation was Court Astrologer to Emperor Frederick III.
Frederick III of Habsburg (Innsbruck, September 21, 1415 – August 19, 1493 in Linz) was elected as German King as the successor of Albert II in 1440. He was the son of Duke Ernest the Iron from the Leopoldinian line of the Habsburg family ruling Inner Austria, i.e. Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, and of his wife Cymburgis of Masovia. As an Austrian Habsburg Duke, he became Frederick V in 1424, and Frederick IV as Geman king, and then Frederick III with his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor. He married in 1452, at age 37, the 18-year-old Princess Eleonor of Portugal, whose dowry helped him to alleviate his debts and cement his power.
Frederick was the last Emperor to be crowned in Rome, being crowned in 1452 by Pope Nicholas V. He opposed the reform of the Holy Roman Empire at that time and was barely able to prevent the electors from electing another king.

Philip Lichtenberger
Philip was born in 1477 in Kusel, Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, Nordpfalzer-berg, Germany. His occupation was Amtsmann in Kreuznach. With the division of the Saxon country the administrative structures became unclear in Leipzig in 1485. With the development of the Saxon state uniformed administrative structures began gradually to develop. In the Middle Ages the Saxon area was divided into governor’s residence, apart from the central administration. Out of this new jobs developed in the 15th century. The “administrators” (Amtsmann) practised the jurisdiction, and were responsible for the military quantity and public security.
The administrators came from the rural aristocracy.

The Fate of the Ship "Two Brothers"
Below is a notice from the Pennsylvania Journal September 25, 1754. It was a copy of an article from the London Newspaper, August 5, 1754.
A few days hence captain Arnot bound from Rotterdam to Philadelphia upward of 300 palatine passengers on board in passage struck a sandbar beat off her rutter. Somewhere between 220 and 300 Palentines passengers drowned when the ship went down in sight of the Dutch ship which just left them to drown.

Lodge Eulogy for J. B. Lichtenberger "It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to remove by death, one our number, J.B. Lichtenberger. We knew him as a business man, as a father, as a husband, as a citizen, and as a brother. He was a superior man in business, thoughtful, careful and considerate. As a father, he was kind, and took a great interest in his children. He often had them with him when at work. As a husband, he was true, loyal, and affectionate, ever striving to please and comfort his dear wife. As a citizen and brother, he was loved most by those who knew him best. To know him, was to love and respect him. To know him well, as we did, was to bound to him in brotherly love. In our daily affairs, in our lodge, in the home will be missed one of the best fathers, husbands, and brothers in our community. Therefore be it resolved by the members of the Maramec I.O.O.F. lodge, severally and as a body, that we bow our heads in submission to that One that does all things well, and extend our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved wife and little children and that we here-by pledge to them our aid, counsel, and protection in the future. Resolved further that we drape our charter for thirty days, that these resolutions be spread on the minutes and a copy be given to the bereaved family."
27 April 1911 His Obituary from the Pawnee Chief News:
Mr. J.B. LICHTENBERGER, Santa Fe depot agent at Maramec, died last Friday. He had suffered from consumption for some time, and last year the company transferred him to a station in Colorado, in the hope that the change would benefit his health. Mr. Lichtenberger felt so improved after a residence in Colorado, that he thought it was all right for him to return to Maramec, where he had property interests. He was a man very highly respected by all who knew him.

Frederick III of Habsburg (Innsbruck, September 21, 1415 – August 19, 1493 in Linz) was elected as German King as the successor of Albert II in 1440. He was the son of Duke Ernest the Iron from the Leopoldinian line of the Habsburg family ruling Inner Austria, i.e. Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, and of his wife Cymburgis of Masovia. As an Austrian Habsburg Duke, he became Frederick V in 1424, and Frederick IV as Geman king, and then Frederick III with his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor. He married in 1452, at age 37, the 18-year-old Princess Eleonor of Portugal, whose dowry helped him to alleviate his debts and cement his power.
Frederick was the last Emperor to be crowned in Rome, being crowned in 1452 by Pope Nicholas V. He opposed the reform of the Holy Roman Empire at that time and was barely able to prevent the electors from electing another king.

The “administrators” (Amtsmann) practised the jurisdiction, and were responsible for the military quantity and public security.
The administrators came from the rural aristocracy.

The Fate of the Ship "Two Brothers"
Below is a notice from the Pennsylvania Journal September 25, 1754. It was a copy of an article from the London Newspaper, August 5, 1754.
A few days hence captain Arnot bound from Rotterdam to Philadelphia upward of 300 palatine passengers on board in passage struck a sandbar beat off her rutter. Somewhere between 220 and 300 Palentines passengers drowned when the ship went down in sight of the Dutch ship which just left them to drown. Insensible to their distress thought proper to continue his course and left. Deserting upwards of 80 souls out of the above number. Captain Henderson bound for the coast of New Guinea took them on board and landed them on Thursday seven PM at on the coast near Rotterdam, then proceeded on his voyage. So apparently it hit a sandbar, sank and only a small number of those passengers were saved, and apparently the crew was saved.
So that is what happened to the ship the two brothers. These voyages were definitely risky.

Lodge Eulogy for J. B. Lichtenberger "It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to remove by death, one our number, J.B. Lichtenberger. We knew him as a business man, as a father, as a husband, as a citizen, and as a brother. He was a superior man in business, thoughtful, careful and considerate. As a father, he was kind, and took a great interest in his children. He often had them with him when at work. As a husband, he was true, loyal, and affectionate, ever striving to please and comfort his dear wife. As a citizen and brother, he was loved most by those who knew him best. To know him, was to love and respect him. To know him well, as we did, was to bound to him in brotherly love. In our daily affairs, in our lodge, in the home will be missed one of the best fathers, husbands, and brothers in our community. Therefore be it resolved by the members of the Maramec I.O.O.F. lodge, severally and as a body, that we bow our heads in submission to that One that does all things well, and extend our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved wife and little children and that we here-by pledge to them our aid, counsel, and protection in the future. Resolved further that we drape our charter for thirty days, that these resolutions be spread on the minutes and a copy be given to the bereaved family."
27 April 1911 His Obituary from the Pawnee Chief News:
Mr. J.B. LICHTENBERGER, Santa Fe depot agent at Maramec, died last Friday. He had suffered from consumption for some time, and last year the company transferred him to a station in Colorado, in the hope that the change would benefit his health. Mr. Lichtenberger felt so improved after a residence in Colorado, that he thought it was all right for him to return to Maramec, where he had property interests. He was a man very highly respected by all who knew him.

Rosa and the children were in Managua, Nicaragua during the 1972 earth. This article appeared in the Orange County Register.
1972 Managua Earthquake
Managua was, and still is, the heart of Nicaragua. In 1972 one-fifth of the nation's population, the central government, and the commercial and industrial majority were situated there. If you can imagine the importance of the US cities of Washington DC, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia all combined into one, that would be Managua to Nicaragua.
At 12:27 AM on December 23, 1972, three consecutive earthquakes struck the center of downtown Managua. The first oscillated horizontally and the other two shook vertically, leveling 5 square miles of the city and damaging the rest. Of the 400,000 people living in Managua at the time, 250,000 were rendered homeless, 20,000 were killed, and everyone in the city had to leave at least temporarily because there was no water, electricity, or gas.
With aftershocks still occurring intermittently over the next few days, the city was evacuated into the countryside by the military and police to avoid disease and looting. As it was, people would run into what was left of businesses and steal things like TVs, radios, furniture, and anything else that they could carry. The military and police were forced to burn bodies wherever they found them in the city to avoid disease and four major hospitals were destroyed so the injured had to be helped out in the open air behind the hospitals or not at all, in some cases, because there wasn't enough man power to go around.
Downtown Managua lies on the edge of Lake Managua and the epicenter of the earthquake was a few hundred meters away from the edge of the lake. The quake in itself wasn't extremely powerful (6.3 on the Richter scale), but the combination of the fact that it originated only 9 miles below the surface, that the earth under the city was compacted volcanic ash instead of rock, that many of the buildings were made out of brittle plaster and rock, that Managua
lies along the circle-of-fire (a ring of volcanoes and seismic faults which circles the Pacific), and that it's on top of 5 active faults caused the catastrophic results.
For two miles from Avenida Central (the equivalent of main street) everything was destroyed or severely damaged. Banks, hotels, and government offices were all put out of commission and some are just now being rebuilt. The Gran Hotel, one of Managua's best hotels, was destroyed and you still hear people give directions by saying, "Turn where the Gran Hotel used to be." 50% of the nation's commercial services were centered in Managua and 90% of the small businesses like bakeries and auto repair shops were destroyed either by the earthquake itself or by looting. However, even though 70% of the manufacturing sector was in Managua, the industries survived mostly intact because they were built on the outskirts of the city.

Many of the quarter of a million homeless people who were evacuated to the countryside had no place to stay. So, they moved into the nearby cities and slept in stadiums, parks, and schools. The population of most cities around Managua doubled in just a few days and prices on everything, especially houses, skyrocketed.
The total damage was estimated at a 1000 million dollars, not an extremely large amount by most international standards, but the entire country's production in 1972 came to just 760 million dollars and the government's budget was only 120 million. On top of that, since so much of the nation was concentrated in Managua, that government actually lost a huge percentage of its income which could have been used to repair the city.
Governments all over the world as well as international organizations and individuals rushed to help Nicaragua, both financially and physically with medical services and food packages. However, as previously noted, the city was not rebuilt and much of the money disappeared and many Nicaraguans have blamed the country's late dictator, Somoza.
Rosa works as a registered nurse for Dr. David S. Asher in Santa Ana, California.
Rosa passed away at Kaiser Hospital on 28 December 1990 in Anaheim, California. She is buried at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Orange, California.

The muster rolls of the regiment are defective, a large portion of them having been captured with the regiment at Rogersville on November 6, 1863. A detachment from the regiment, under 2nd Lieutenant Elisha Harbour, composed of recruits, stragglers, absentees, and returned prisoners from the companies already mustered out was mustered out at Nashville, December 5, 1865.
The regiment left Camp Dick Robinson October 18, 1861; had a skirmish with General Felix Zollicoffer's forces at Wildcat, Kentucky; and arrived at London, Kentucky, October 28, 1861. It was placed in the 12th Brigade commanded by Navv Lieutenant Samuel P. Carter, who was soon appointed brigadier general.. During November and December it was stationed at London, then at Somerset; and left Somerset January 17, 1862 to join the Federal forces under Brigadier General George H. Thomas for the battle of Fishing Creek, or Logan's Cross Roads, which took place on January 19, 1862. Although it took part in this engagement, it was not heavily engaged.
On March 14, 1862 it was with General S. P. Carter as part of a force which captured Lieutenant Colonel John F. White and the major part of two companies of the 1st East Tennessee Cavalry, CSA, at Jacksboro, Tennessee. On March 20, the regiment was at Woodson's Gap, near Fincastle, Campbell County, Tennessee.
On April 14, 1862, General Carter's Brigade was designated as the 24th Brigade, of Brigadier General George W. Morgan's 7th Division, of the Army of the Ohio. The regiment served in this brigade in the operations around Cumberland Ford, and Cumberland Gap until September 17, 1862, when General Morgan, his supply-line threatened by Major General E. Kirby Smith's invasion of Kentucky, evacuated Cumberland Gap, withdrew through Kentucky to the Ohio River, and into the Kanawha Valley, West Virginia. On July 26, 1862, before the evacuation of Cumberland Gap, the regiment, with 450 men, was reported at Tazewell, Tennessee.
On October 31, the regiment was reported in General Carter's 3rd Brigade, District of Western Virginia, under General Morgan. On November 4, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Nashville, and on December 4, 1862 was at Louisville, Kentucky, awaiting transportation. It finally marched to Nashville, and was at that point when the battle of Murfreesboro, or Stone's River, began on December 31, 1862. Here the regiment was assigned to Brigadier General James G. Spears' 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, XIV Corps.
General Spears took command of the brigade on January 2, 1863, and with it escorted a train of supplies to the army outside Murfreesboro, arriving at 5:00 A.M. on January 3. His brigade then relieved troops in the front line of General Thomas' "Center" of the Federal lines. That night, in an engagement lasting from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M., the regiment took part in driving Confederate forces from a woods in front of their lines. On January 5, the regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel Melton, was assigned to picket duty. It remained at Murfreesboro until March 10, 1862, when it returned to Kentucky to be mounted. On May 14, it was reported at Somerset, Kentucky, with 588 men.
It was mounted in June, and served as mounted infantry until captured at Rogersville in November, 1863. On June 9, a detachment from the regiment was with Colonel August V. Katz, 2nd Ohio Cavalry, in an engagement at Monticello, Kentucky, with portions of Confederate General John Pegram's Brigade. On June 30, the regiment was reported in General Carter's 1st Brigade, of Brigadier General Samuel D. Sturgis's 1st Division, XXIII Corps.
On July 7, 1863, the regiment left Lebanon, Kentucky, as part of a force under Brigadier General J. M. Shackelford which pursued General John Hunt Morgan through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, capturing a large part of his force on July 20, and the remainder, including General Morgan at Salineville, Ohio, on July 26, 1863. Lieutenant Colonel Melton commanded the regiment on this expedition. A detachment from the regiment was with Colonel W. P. Sanders from July 29 to August 3, when he was engaged in driving out of Kentucky the forces under Confederate Colonel John S. Scott.
On August 6, 1863, the XXIII Corps was reorganized, in preparation for Major General A. E. Buruside's invasion of East Tennessee. The 2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry, under Major Daniel A. Carpenter, was placed in General Shackelford's 3rd Brigade, of General S. P. Carter's 4th Division of Cavalry. On August 26, it was at Chitwood's, Tennessee; on August 30, reconnoitered to Winter's Gap; on September 21, in a skirmish at Carter's Station; and on October 10, was engaged in the battle at Blue Springs, Tennessee, with Confederate forces under Generals W. E. Jones, John S. Williams, and A. E. Jackson. In this engagement, Colonel James P. T. Carter was in command of the brigade.
The regiment pursued the retreating Confederates to Abingdon, Virginia, and then returned to Rogersville, Tennessee, where Colonel Israel Garrard, 7th Ohio Cavafry, was in command. On November 6, Colonel Garrard was attacked and routed on the road outside Rogersville, came flying into camp with his men, and ordered Major Carpenter, commanding the 2nd Tennessee, to hold the position, and then, apparently unable to rally his men, fled with them to Morristown, leaving Major Carpenter holding the bag. The regiment was surrounded and captured by forces under Colonel H. L. Giltner, 4th Kentucky Cavalry, CSA. Casualties were five killed, one wounded, and 20 officers and 474 men captured.
117 men from the regiment, many of whom had escaped after being captured, finally reported at Knoxville, and remained there during the siege of that city until November 30, 1863. Under Colonel Melton, they moved to Clinton, Tennessee, skirmishing with Major General Joseph Wheeler's forces on the way, escorted General Buruside to Camp Nelson, Kentucky, and returned to Rogersville.
On April 10, 1864 the XXIII Corps was reorganized, and the regiment was placed in Brigadier General Davis Tillson's Brigade (Reserve Artillery) of Brigadier General J. Ammen's 4th Division. The brigade was assigned to the Defenses of Knoxville, with orders to hold that city against all hazards. The order went on to specify: "The 2nd Tennessee Volunteer Infantry will furnish such details as may be required by the provost-marshall-general of East Tennessee for the execution of his orders." It remained in this brigade until the end.
On August 5, a detachment of 80 men was at Sevierville, Tennessee, and General Tillson, commenting on the actions of the commanding officer, which he disapproved, stated he would prefer charges and ask for a court of inquiry, if it were not for the fact that the regiment was so soon to be mustered out of service. At the time of Major General Joseph Wheeler's raid the last of August, detachments were at Maryville, Sevierville, Maynardville and Clinton. The detachment at Maryville was captured August 21, but the others were safely withdrawn to Knoxville.
The report of Tennessee Adjutant General Brownlow states the regiment was mustered out of service at Knoxville, October 6, 1864, retaining only 106 of the original number." This statement applied only to Companies "A" through "G", the other companies remaining in service. On October 31, 1864, Captain S. C. Honeycutt was reported in command; on December 31, Captain William M. Murray. On March 17, 1865, the 1st and 2nd Tennessee Regiments were ordered to Cumberland Gap. The 2nd, by this time, consisted only of the detachment under Lieutenant Elisha Harbour, which remained at Cumberland Gap until it moved to Nashville to be mustered out.

The muster rolls of the regiment are defective, a large portion of them having been captured with the regiment at Rogersville on November 6, 1863. A detachment from the regiment, under 2nd Lieutenant Elisha Harbour, composed of recruits, stragglers, absentees, and returned prisoners from the companies already mustered out was mustered out at Nashville, December 5, 1865.
The regiment left Camp Dick Robinson October 18, 1861; had a skirmish with General Felix Zollicoffer's forces at Wildcat, Kentucky; and arrived at London, Kentucky, October 28, 1861. It was placed in the 12th Brigade commanded by Navv Lieutenant Samuel P. Carter, who was soon appointed brigadier general.. During November and December it was stationed at London, then at Somerset; and left Somerset January 17, 1862 to join the Federal forces under Brigadier General George H. Thomas for the battle of Fishing Creek, or Logan's Cross Roads, which took place on January 19, 1862. Although it took part in this engagement, it was not heavily engaged.
On March 14, 1862 it was with General S. P. Carter as part of a force which captured Lieutenant Colonel John F. White and the major part of two companies of the 1st East Tennessee Cavalry, CSA, at Jacksboro, Tennessee. On March 20, the regiment was at Woodson's Gap, near Fincastle, Campbell County, Tennessee.
On April 14, 1862, General Carter's Brigade was designated as the 24th Brigade, of Brigadier General George W. Morgan's 7th Division, of the Army of the Ohio. The regiment served in this brigade in the operations around Cumberland Ford, and Cumberland Gap until September 17, 1862, when General Morgan, his supply-line threatened by Major General E. Kirby Smith's invasion of Kentucky, evacuated Cumberland Gap, withdrew through Kentucky to the Ohio River, and into the Kanawha Valley, West Virginia. On July 26, 1862, before the evacuation of Cumberland Gap, the regiment, with 450 men, was reported at Tazewell, Tennessee.
On October 31, the regiment was reported in General Carter's 3rd Brigade, District of Western Virginia, under General Morgan. On November 4, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Nashville, and on December 4, 1862 was at Louisville, Kentucky, awaiting transportation. It finally marched to Nashville, and was at that point when the battle of Murfreesboro, or Stone's River, began on December 31, 1862. Here the regiment was assigned to Brigadier General James G. Spears' 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, XIV Corps.
General Spears took command of the brigade on January 2, 1863, and with it escorted a train of supplies to the army outside Murfreesboro, arriving at 5:00 A.M. on January 3. His brigade then relieved troops in the front line of General Thomas' "Center" of the Federal lines. That night, in an engagement lasting from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M., the regiment took part in driving Confederate forces from a woods in front of their lines. On January 5, the regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel Melton, was assigned to picket duty. It remained at Murfreesboro until March 10, 1862, when it returned to Kentucky to be mounted. On May 14, it was reported at Somerset, Kentucky, with 588 men.
It was mounted in June, and served as mounted infantry until captured at Rogersville in November, 1863. On June 9, a detachment from the regiment was with Colonel August V. Katz, 2nd Ohio Cavalry, in an engagement at Monticello, Kentucky, with portions of Confederate General John Pegram's Brigade. On June 30, the regiment was reported in General Carter's 1st Brigade, of Brigadier General Samuel D. Sturgis's 1st Division, XXIII Corps.
On July 7, 1863, the regiment left Lebanon, Kentucky, as part of a force under Brigadier General J. M. Shackelford which pursued General John Hunt Morgan through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, capturing a large part of his force on July 20, and the remainder, including General Morgan at Salineville, Ohio, on July 26, 1863. Lieutenant Colonel Melton commanded the regiment on this expedition. A detachment from the regiment was with Colonel W. P. Sanders from July 29 to August 3, when he was engaged in driving out of Kentucky the forces under Confederate Colonel John S. Scott.
On August 6, 1863, the XXIII Corps was reorganized, in preparation for Major General A. E. Buruside's invasion of East Tennessee. The 2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry, under Major Daniel A. Carpenter, was placed in General Shackelford's 3rd Brigade, of General S. P. Carter's 4th Division of Cavalry. On August 26, it was at Chitwood's, Tennessee; on August 30, reconnoitered to Winter's Gap; on September 21, in a skirmish at Carter's Station; and on October 10, was engaged in the battle at Blue Springs, Tennessee, with Confederate forces under Generals W. E. Jones, John S. Williams, and A. E. Jackson. In this engagement, Colonel James P. T. Carter was in command of the brigade.
The regiment pursued the retreating Confederates to Abingdon, Virginia, and then returned to Rogersville, Tennessee, where Colonel Israel Garrard, 7th Ohio Cavafry, was in command. On November 6, Colonel Garrard was attacked and routed on the road outside Rogersville, came flying into camp with his men, and ordered Major Carpenter, commanding the 2nd Tennessee, to hold the position, and then, apparently unable to rally his men, fled with them to Morristown, leaving Major Carpenter holding the bag. The regiment was surrounded and captured by forces under Colonel H. L. Giltner, 4th Kentucky Cavalry, CSA. Casualties were five killed, one wounded, and 20 officers and 474 men captured.
117 men from the regiment, many of whom had escaped after being captured, finally reported at Knoxville, and remained there during the siege of that city until November 30, 1863. Under Colonel Melton, they moved to Clinton, Tennessee, skirmishing with Major General Joseph Wheeler's forces on the way, escorted General Buruside to Camp Nelson, Kentucky, and returned to Rogersville.
On April 10, 1864 the XXIII Corps was reorganized, and the regiment was placed in Brigadier General Davis Tillson's Brigade (Reserve Artillery) of Brigadier General J. Ammen's 4th Division.
