13th Kentucky Infantry

[katewrites]

Hey, all,

I am searching for rosters for the 13th Kentucky Infantry who would have fought at the skirmish at Huff's Ferry on November 13 and 14, 1863, here in Loudon County, East Tennessee on their way to Knoxville. I am trying to find the names of the 43-ish men killed here and track how many of them were buried at Chattanooga National Cemetery...or wherever they ended up. Col. William E. Hobson was the commander. He was just 19 years old when they charged up the ridge here.

Thanks in advance for your insight and information!

I have those. The others are proving much more elusive.
