My great Grandfather 1839-1907

Flemming S. Norman was a lieutenant in the “Lowrey Guards” (Co. H) of the 60-day troops (a.k.a. Army of Ten Thousand), which was mustered in December 6, 1861 into the Fourth Regiment—Rueben Davis’ Brigade (also called Second Regiment), under Capt. Mark P. Lowrey. Norman succeeded Lowrey as captain after Lowrey was elected colonel of the Fourth Regiment. Norman continued to serve under Lowrey as captain of Co. D in the newly formed 32nd Infantry Regiment, organized in Corinth, MS, in March of 1862, where he also enlisted my great grandfather, N.R. Oakes, into his company. Norman led Co. D in all the great battles of the Army of Tennessee through 1864. He was Acting Lieutenant-Colonel when he was killed in the Battle of Atlanta, on July 22, 1864. Would like info. about where he was buried.

My great grandfather Nathan Richardson Oakes enlisted in Kossuth, MS, on 3/13/62, after serving in Mississippi's 60-Day Troops. He next served in Co. D, of the 32nd Regiment, under his uncle, Capt. F.S. Norman. Serving the entire war in the Army of Tennessee, he surrendered with the army at Durham's Station under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston on 4/26/65. He married Martha Ellen Turner in Mississippi on 6/1/65, the sister of his comrade in Co. D, William D. Turner. N.R Oakes is buried with his wife and family members in the Santa Anna Cemetery, Coleman County, TX. He twice had letters published in the Confederate Veteran, Vol. VII, 1899 and Vol. VIII, 1900.

Enlists at Kossuth 13 Mar 1862. Rank:Private/Corporal. Wife Mary F Harrison. Story shows him as part Indian but the DNA doesn't show this. Killed by Union soldiers returning to Corinth at the time the war was ending per a grand neice of his who was alive to be inteviewed by me in the 80s. 3rd great grandfather. listed as James in census (identified by wife and kids), son of Green Dewberry Robins and Ursula Weatherford.

Thomas Benjamin Settle was a Farmer who lived in Biggersville Mississippi near Corinth Mississippi and joined Company D at Kossuth Mississippi as a 3rd Sgt in 1862 after escaping capture at Fort Donleson. Mr. Settle served most notably at the battle of Chickamauga on September 19 and 20 1862 and was commanded by Col. Mark Perrin Lowery who was in Wood's Brgade who was a part of Hill's Corps on the right side 0f the line. Mr. Settle tells his father that while he saw others run because they were afraid of being 'hurt'but none of his father's aquaintenances 'flickered' and they drove the enemy from the field. Mr. Settle also reports that at one point in the battle he could hear the enemy (the Yankees) building breastworks some 300 yards in front of him while he and his comrades were building theirs.

William Turner was my great uncle. He enlisted in Corinth, MS, on 5/15/62. He was promoted to 2nd Sgt. on 6/16/63.

Lee was my GGGrandfather (on my father's maternal side). Lee's Company 'I' was known as 'Johnston Avengers'. His records are provided at Film number M232 roll 33, Civil War Soldier & Sailors System (http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/). He had previously served in the 26th Mississppi Infantry Regt.

The 32nd Infantry Regiment was assembled at Iuka and mustered into Confederate service at Philadelphia, Mississippi, during the summer of 1862. Its members were recruited in Tishomingo, Lee, Prentiss, and Alcorn counties. The unit was assigned to General S.A.M. Wood's and Lowrey's Brigade and participated in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Atlanta, was with Hood in Tennessee, and saw action in North Carolina. During the Murfreesboro Campaign this unit was detailed to guard the stations and bridges on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. For a time the regiment was consolidated with the 45th Regiment and in the fight at Chickamauga lost 25 killed and 141 wounded and at Tunnell Hill reported 18 casualties. In December the 32nd/45th totalled 515 men and 387 arms. At the Battle of Atlanta the 32nd had 18 killed, 45 wounded, and 23 missing.

In January 1863 after the 26th Infantry Regiment was exchanged, Gen. Bragg ordered the members of the 26th who were in the 32nd back to the reorganized 26th. Lee was among their ranks.

Lee was born 1833 in McNairy County, TN, and died Aft. 1880 possibly in Corinth, Alcorn County, MS. Surviving the Civil War, he moved from Tishomingo County, MS to Logan County, AR.

William Young was my Great grandfather. He had my grandfather with his second wife later in life and he died when my grandfather was young. I have spent many years researching and trying to find information about this side of the family. It was just recently that I came across the records that showed William had been in the infantry. There is a document showing his military grave registration. It saddens me to have seen this knowing what his grave looks like. It is a large block of stone. It appears as if someone hand carved the information into the block rather crudely. There is no designation of his service but from looking at this documentation I can clearly see that he did serve and I know that it was him because of the name of the cemetery being on the document. He has a rather common name for the time but the cemetery is quite small and does not have many people in it. I am hoping to find more information about this side of the family. A few years ago I had about given up I hope to honor him.
