Re: Capture of Yankee Recruiting Officers

Hi George,

Regarding the following units and Kindrick:

1 Tenn. W. Cav.
2nd Tenn. Inf.
2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry,
3rd W. Tennessee
3d Tennessee (Yankee) regiment
3rd West Tennessee Cavalry

In looking through Volume One of "Tennesseans in the Civil War" which has the detailed history of all units raised in the state, he has no affiliation with these units:

1st West Tn Cavalry (aka 6th Tennessee Cavalry US - Fielding Hurst's)
2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry
2nd Tennessee Infantry (men from East TN - formed at Camp Dick Robinson in KY in August 1861)
3rd Tennessee Infantry

And as we have determined already, the 3rd West Tennessee Cavalry never formed.

I also checked the listing of Union Tennessee units in Dyer's Compendium with the same results.
