Powell, E TN Mil
Dates: September 1814 - May 1815
Brief History: Part of General Nathaniel Taylor's brigade, this unit of
drafter militia (about 900 men) was mustered in at Knoxville and marched to
the vicinity of Mobile via Camp Ross (present-day Chattanooga), Fort Jackson,
Fort Claiborne, and Fort Montgomery. Along the way the men were used as road
builders and wagon guards. Many of them were stationed at Camp Mandeville
(near Mobile) in February 1814, where there was much disease. For example,
the company of Captain Joseph Scott had thirty-one listed sick out of an
aggregate of 104 at the final muster.
