Company Unknown
Thomas Lafayette Harris
- Private
Born in 1838 in Tennessee, Sal as he was called was the son of Samuel Benton and Axie Lee (Elkins) Harris. He was born at Cub Creek half way between Bolivar and Middleton. He served in the Middleton tigers until he could procure a horse then he joined the 14th and served under General Forrest command. A newspaper article written by his son in the 1930 was full of high adventure. Sal married twice, before the War to Frances W. Ray and after her death he married her younger sister Louisa V. Ray. I have no information on his death.

Company Unknown
Green McAliley
- Private
Green joined his unit in Yankee controlled West
Tennessee in 1863. Several hundred young men rode South to connect with the Confederacy and several were captured. Green made it through and only one record exists showing that he had not yet received his pay. Casualty records with cavalry were not as good as infantry. He lost his life in the war, but not sure when. He lost two brothers in the war and his father passed away the fall after Green joined up. It was a bitter harvest for the prosperous tobacco farming family who thought they were fighting the Second American Revolution. Deo Vindice
