NOTES

General -- Names, ranks, and dates differ from source to source. For the purposes of this listing, the data found in the Compiled Service Records or unit histories are considered to be the most correct. Significant differences have been shown in parentheses or in these notes. Refer to the Bibliography for complete citations. Note: numbers missing here belong to a separate compilation.

5. OR I,7, page 109. Fogg's rank is variously given as Lt., Capt., and Maj. (listed as Capt. in Tennesseans in the Civil War, Part 2). Fogg's initials confirmed by entries in Zollicoffer (1861-62) and Carter Diary (note 66). Fogg may not have died on the field. A 28 January 1862 article in the Memphis Daily Avalanche said he was severely wounded in the hip, and had been taken to McMinnville, TN. Shields was a Pvt. in Co. C, 20th Tenn. Inf. (McMurray (1904), page 101), but his Compiled Service Record in the National Archives (CSR, NA) shows that he was promoted to 2nd Lt. in the Corps of Cavalry, CS Regular Army, 24 December 1861. As such, he served on Zollicoffer’s staff.

51. Waters (1992), page 139, lists him as "Ensign, Killed at Fishing Creek." The rank of Ensign was held by Confederate regimental color-bearers early in the war, and again from 1864 to the end of the war.

52. Waters (1992), page 127; however, the CSR rolls make no mention of Fishing Creek / Mill Springs under McGhee's entry.

53. Listed by Raymond Watkins, Falls Church, VA, from information in the Compiled Service Records, National Archives. Additional info from Doug Frantz, rfrantz@bcpl.net, indicates that family tradition says that Lawson drowned. He may have been a casualty of the retreat across the river at Beech Grove.
