Regimental History
First Infantry
TENNESSEE
(3-YEARS)


First Infantry. -- Col., Robert K. Byrd; Lieut.-Cols., James
G. Spears, Milton L. Phillips, John Ellis; Majs., James T.
Shelley, Benjamin F. Taylor.

This regiment was organized by Col. Byrd, at Camp Dick
Robinson, Ky., in Aug., 1861. It was first under fire in the
engagement at Wild Cat, and was afterward present at the
battle of Mill Springs.

It also assisted in the capture of Cumberland Gap, where it
remained until the evacuation of that post by Gen. Morgan. It
then retreated with the remainder of the command to Ohio, and
thence went on an expedition up the Kanawha valley.

Returning, it went by way of Louisville to Nashville and
arrived in time to participate in the battle at Stone's River,
after which it returned to Lexington, Ky. It then entered
East Tennessee under Gen. Burnside and was present at the
siege of Knoxville.

During the winter of 1863 it was stationed at Kingston, and in
the spring entered upon the Atlanta campaign participating in
all of the engagements until just previous to the surrender of
the city, when the greater portion of the regiment was
discharged on account of the expiration of term of service.

The veterans and recruits were consolidated into a battalion
of two companies and retained in service until Aug. 8, 1865,
when they were mustered out in accordance with orders from the
war department.

While at Cumberland Gap a detachment of the 1st and 2nd Tenn.
regiments, consisting of 69 men, led by Capt. Meyers and
Lieut. Rogers, captured an important outpost of the
Confederates without the loss of a man. For this exploit a
complimentary notice was read on dress parade by order of Gen.
Morgan.

Wiley married Theresa S. (Terressa) Moyers after Jun 1860 in Bledsoe Co, Tennessee. Theresa (daughter of Christopher* Moyers (or Myers, Myres) and Sarah* McGowan) was born in 1842 in Pikeville, Bledsoe Co, Tennessee; died after 1900 in of, Marion Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Every now and then, while tracing these early pioneers, there comes one who seems to come alive more than others. Such has been the case for Therressa Moyers. She was 19, living with her father's family. The Dugger family lived very close by. They had son Wiley, age 22. Census takers had been by in June, and by

Violet married John Marshall Farmer in 1882 in Tennessee. John (son of Acquilla A. Farmer and Mary A. "Polly" Hall) was born in Dec 1855 in Pikesville, Bledsoe Co, Tennessee; died on 16 Jul 1901 in Pikesville, Bledsoe Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Who is Rusty? Not grandfather as grandfather Wiley and great grandfather Henry bothdied in Civil War.
He said mom born GA and only Dugger mom who was born in GA was Elizabeth Caroline Bell, b 1844 and married Enoch Dugger who was born in 1843. But Enoch was in Missouri in 1900 and died in Kansas in 1920; but guess he could have come back to TN 1910. Really not likely. Also, Rusty says born 1841. I have found no Dugger born in 1841.
Enoch was a brother to the boy's father Wiley. Wiley's other likely brother to be surrogate grandfather would Harding, but he was in Oregon in 1910.
