This company was organized at Brownsville, Tennessee in April 1862, with James Allen TAYLOR as Captain, Alex DUCKWORTH, 1st Lieutenant; Frank PUGH, 3rd Lieutenant, and about 65 non-commissioned officers and privates.
The company remained at Brownsville constantly preparing for active service until about the 12th of May, 1862, when it was mustered into service by Major MAXWELL, a regular commissioned officer of the C. S. A. Immediately the company was ordered to report to Gen. VILLIPIGUE, commanding at Fort Pillow. Upon reporting to Gen. VILLIPIGUE the company received orders to report to Lieutenant Colonel SCOTT, 12th Louisiana Regiment of Infantry, with headquarters at Camp Green, where it remained until the fall of Fort Pillow, when it was ordered to report to Col. Wm. H. JACKSON. The company remained under his command as a part of a temporary regimental organization at Abbeville, Miss., and became thence forward a part of the Seventh Tennessee Calvary and was lettered as Company "L". It continued until the close of the war as a part of this Regiment, and was surrendered by Gen. FOREST at Gainsville, Ala., in May, 1865.
