Looking for a roster of soldiers within Nathan Bedford Forrest command. Family history says that my great great grandfather was in Forrest's command. Help.
Born in 1847 - so he would have been 16 years old in 1863 and 18 years old when he was paroled at Selma in June 1865. So it's entirely possible that his service late in the war in H/8th AL Cav was his only Civil War service. It's also possible that he served in another outfit prior to joining the 8th AL Cav. Any indication in family lore or stories that he may have served previously in an infantry regiment?Thomas Jefferson Fuller was my great great grandfather. He was born in Perryville, Alabama in 1847.
Forrest served under Wheeler, with disastrous results at Dover, TN. Supposedly Forrest did not like Wheeler...Was Wheeler ever under Forrest, I thought he would been the senior higher rank?
That's what I thought, it was the other way around from what he claimed.Forrest served under Wheeler, with disastrous results at Dover, TN. Supposedly Forrest did not like Wheeler...
