I 'am researching a soldier named Edward A. Fowlkes Co. G 12th Tenn
Cavalry U.S. It says he was appointed c s ser.
Apparently, he and his Captain, Andrew Jackson Sullivan along with
a patrol of about 24/25 men were foraging down in Hickman Co.(their
camp was in Dickson Co.) and were ambushed by Captain Dave Miller
and his guerrillas(from Hickman Co.). Killing 11/12 of Sullivan's men
Capt. Miller personally killed Capt. Sullivan. The survivors ran off towards
the Northwestern railroad.
Some of my distant cousins were members of Company G 12 Tenn Cav U.S.
Any help with the rank question or any list of those killed would be
greatly appreciated
John
