GREEN X PATTERSON MARRIAGE 18th CENTURY
My great grandmother, Sarah Green Patterson, b. 11-12-1829 was the daughter of William G. Patterson b. abt. 1800 (Son of
David and ?). I have
reason to suspect that his mother's last name was GREEN. His father was possibly David Patterson b. abt. 1758 in Virginia
(which could be several states). Any information? Thanks, Joe

Notes for JAMES ENOCHS BRYAN:
Maude Bryant, born 1911, and family historian of Monroe Co., KY, reported that James' full name was James Enochs Bryan
(I have found no documents where he signed his name other than James E. Bryan or James E. Bryant). All records were
destroyed when a Rebel sympathizer, who was later hanged, burned the Monroe Co., KY, court house during the civil war,
but James' and Sarah's records after the burning are still there.
James E. Bryant (Bryant was used later in his life) died when a tree fell on him.
Sarah and James were married 3-18-1854 in the home of John Schamberg (spelling?) by Joseph Armstrong in Hawkins Co.,
Tennessee, Date and place of the marriage come from Sarah G. Patterson's application for Civil War pension from the National
Archives. "Yankees" took most of the Hawkins Co., Tennessee, marriage and other records out in the middle of the road in
front of the court house and burned them. The very few that are listed in the marriage book of Hawkins Co., TN, were mostly
reconstructed after the Civil War.

Fifth Kentucky Cavalry
Typed by 5th Kentucky Cavalry veteran descendant Reg Palmore
The 5th Ky. Cavalry was actively engaged on military duty several months before it was
regularly mustered into service. Col. David R. Haggard resided, in 1861, in the same general
section of the state as Cols. Wolford, Ward, and Hobson. This was peculiarly on the border and
separated from the protection which the state had in closer proximity to the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, along which the great armies moved. The organized Confederate forces in
Tennessee were in a threatening attitude toward all Southeastern Kentucky in the summer of
1861, and the Cumberland River section was especially exposed. This condition led to the
organization of the Unionists as a measure of self-protection. Col. Haggard early began the
formation of a regiment.
In a communication from Gen. Sherman to Gen. Thomas, of date October 31, 1861, he says;
"Col. Haggard is at Columbia with a regiment." November 12th: "Col. Haggard resuming his
camp at Burksville, November 14th." Gen. Sherman says: "Cols. Grider and Haggard are at
Columbia, and are acquainted with all the country as far as Bowling Green." All through
December and January, 1861, Col. Haggard's cavalry was scouting the country south of
Columbia. In February, after the Confederates fell back from Bowling Green, the 5th Cavalry
went to Gallatin, Tenn. It was there mustered into the United States service at Camp Sandige
March 31, 1862. It then numbered 943, and its subsequent career proved it to be one of the most
valuable regiments in the service. The names of the officers by whom it was led are very
striking. Col. Haggard had been for years a prominent man in his part of the state and a state
official. Col. Wm. P. Sanders, soon made a brigadier general, was a brilliant officer, educated at
West Point. He was killed at Knoxville November, 1863, and the celebrated fort there was
named in his honor. There were no more gallant officers that Cols. Haggard, Sanders, Baldwin
and Hoblitzell, and Majs. Owsley, Cheek, Glore, and Wharton; Capts. Fleming, Faris, John W.
Forrester, Charles Gill; Surgs. Wm. Forrester and Hugh Mulholland were faithful and excellent
officers.
May 14, 1862, Gen. Negley, at Rogersville, Ala, reports a battalion of the 5th, under Maj.
Owsley, making a forced march from Pulaski against the enemy on the Lamb's Ferry Road,
where a lively fight occurred, and endurance and soldierly conduct by Maj. Owsley and his men
is especially mentioned. In June the regiment, under Col. Haggard, with other troops, crossed the
Cumberland Mountain and reconnoitered toward Chattanooga. July 7th is was at Columbia, and
on the 8th between Duck River and Wartrace; July 14th at Tantalon.
August 11th the 5th, with other regiments under Gen. Richard W. Johnson, left McMinnville,
Tenn., and engaged Morgan's Command at Gallatin, but were defeated. Gen. Johnson especially
commends the conduct of Capt. Carter and Lieuts. Campbell and Cheek in this fight. Maj.
Winfrey was taken prisoner.
September 1862, Col. John Kennett took command of the 1st and 2d Cavalry brigades, the 5th
being in the 2d. Maj. Owsley then commanded the regiment. The 5th participated in the march of
Buell's Army in pursuit of Bragg, and is reported as being at Louisville in September.
On the 14th of November, 1862, Col. Kennett reports the 5th as detached from him and on duty at
Nashville. It was at Nashville in December, and on December 17th two companies were sent to
Brentwood. December 19th and in January, 1863, the 5th was in Mitchell's Division, under Maj.
Owsley. It remained on duty at Nashville until the spring of 1863. In the organization of the Army
of the Cumberland, June 30, 1863, the 5th Mitchell's Division, Gen. Ed McCook's brigade, and
command of Lieut. Col. Hoblitzell. In June and July, 1863, the 5th was engaged in very severe
service in Middle Tennessee. July 3d the brigade, in which were the 3d Ky. Cavalry, 5th Ky.
Cavalry and 6th Ky Cavalry, was led by Col. Watkins, of the 6th. Gen. Sheridan's report of this
campaign says the troops moved from Murfreesboro toward Shelbyville, fought at Christiana,
camped at Millersburg, then moved to Winchester. There, hearing that Confederate Gen.
Wharton was seven miles away, he ordered Watkins to move against him with the 5th and 6th
Ky. Cavalry. He says: "This reconnoissance was handsomely executed by Col. Watkins, who
drove the enemy about three miles, inflicting a severe loss."
Col. Watkins says, in his report of the movements of the 5th and 6th Cavalry under his command
, June 23d, marched from Franklin to Triune; June 25th , marched to Murfreesboro; June 28th,
from Murfreesboro back to Christiana; 29th, within 5 miles of Shelbyville; 30th, at Shelbyville,
and made a reconnoissance on the road to Tullahoma; July 2d, to Tullahoma; July 3d, to Cowan
and reported to Gen. Sheridan; July 4th, made a reconnoissance toward University, met the
enemy and engaged in a sharp fight; 5th, camped at Cowan; 7th, reported to Gen. Mitchell. At
that time the 5th Cavalry, under Hoblitzell, made an expedition to the mountains and returned.
Horses reported worn down.
In the organization of Rosecrans' army, August 31, 1863, the 5th was in Watkins Brigade, in
Stanley's Division. The brigade consisted of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Ky Cavalry Regiments.
When the battle of Chickamauga took place, September 19th and 20th, the cavalry corps was
under Gen. Mitchell and the 5th was still in Watkins brigade, of Gen Ed McCook's Division. It
fought in the battle of Chickamauga, at Crawfish Springs, and was very much cut up. On
September 23d it was at Williams' house, 12 miles above Kelly's Ferry, under Col. Hoblitzell;
September 27, between Williams' Island and Jasper, October 4th, Gen. Tillson reports the 5th
going toward McMinnville, with other troops, in pursuit of Wheeler.
December 20th, 1863, the 5th went with a cavalry force under Gen. W. S. Smith on an expedition
against Gen. Forrest across the Tennessee River. In Gen. Smith's report, he says he ordered the
5th to move from Columbia to the mouth of the Duck river, clearing the country, and to watch the
river from the mouth of Duck to Savannah; at Savannah it crossed the Tennessee and marched to
Corinth, which was reached January 8, 1984; thence to Colliersville, which was reached
February 8th; crossed the Tallahatchie and moved toward Pontotoc and Houston; thence to
Okolona; fought at Prairie Station. The expedition returned to Memphis, having destroyed a great
amount of army supplies and railroads and bridges. The reports say the 5th Cavalry acted with
coolness, courage and discipline not excelled by any other troops.
On the return it was especially efficient, resisting the attacks of a strong pursuing force. Maj.
Cheek, who commanded the regiment, was recommended for promotion.
The 5th was ordered back to Nashville, and, April 2d, was brigaded with the 3d Ky. Cavalry
and the 20th Illinois Mounted Infantry. Col. E. H. Murray, of the 3d, commanded the Brigade.
May 3, 1864, Col. Baldwin was in command of the regiment, and it entered up on the Atlanta
campaign. May 13th, Col. Murray took command of the division. Near Adairville the 5th was
sent forward in advance of Gen. Logan, encountered the enemy and drove him all day. "May
19th, moved to Kingston by a road parallel to that occupied by the columns of the armies of the
Cumberland and Tennessee." During June and July the 5th was constantly employed, and almost
daily engaged with the enemy, acting with the other cavalry of Sherman's army. In August it had
crossed the Chattahoochee and made its way to Jonesboro, where a severe fight took place;
moved on the McDonough road toward Lovejoy. A battle took place at Fosterville, where the
cavalry made a magnificent charge, then "moved to McDonough; thence to Cotton Indian creek,
where it camped that night. In the morning, by Lithonia; thence to Decatur and to our old camp at
Sandtown, arriving on the 23d having made a complete circuit of Atlanta and the rebel army."
(E. H. Murray's Report)
August 26, the 5th, with other cavalry, moved from Sandtown, on the road to Fair Oaks; struck
the West Point and Atlanta railroad the 28th. There a portion of the regiment under Maj. Cheek
sustained a very severe attack. On the 30th advanced on the Jonesboro road to Flint river; near
this river the cavalry, including the 5th, engaged in a battle, which, the report of Col. Baldwin
says, was the "most brilliant cavalry fight in the South." September 8th the 5th encamped on the
Rough and Ready road. Col. Baldwin especially compliments Maj. Cheek and Capt. Glore, the
battalion commanders of his regiment; also Lieut. Griffin.
The Atlanta campaign being over, the 5th moved with Sherman's army northward, through
Northern Georgia, during the month of October, 1864. Then it was chosen to accompany
Sherman's cavalry in the march to the sea (See 3d Ky. Cavalry, Murray's Report.) It shared all
the dangers of that campaign in the cavalry command under Gen. Kilpatrick. After leaving
Savannah it marched through the Carolinas, having many encounters. At Monroe's Crossroads,
February 8, 1865, Adjt. Mitchell was killed in an engagement. It was also engaged in the battle
of Bentonville. The end of the war being at hand, and the term of service of the 5th having
expired, it was ordered to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out of service May 3, 1865.
The men who re-enlisted as veterans were transferred to the 3d Ky. Cavalry. The foregoing is an
inadequate account of this splendid and faithful regiment, but enough is given to show the long,
hard service it performed and its great value in the tremendous task of preventing the
dismemberment of our national Union.
