William was killed at the Battle of Raymond 12 May 1863. He is buried in the Confederate Cemetery in Hinds Co., Mississippi. This is my wife's relative.

James Robert Bunn was a member of the 41st Tenn.

Born 12/23/1819 to John Hopkins 'Jack' Leftwich (b. 05/08/1787, Bedford Virginia) and Janes Stevens Gill (b. 06/16/1792). Married Pauline or Perlina Pruit 12/12/1839. Had a total of 14 known children by two wives. Littleberry Leftwich, being the only son in a family of twelve, inherited the Leftwich home at Charity, TN, as was the custom of the day. He was a planter, owning slaves and maintaining a typical home of the Old South. As all slave holders did, he participated in politics, helping to maintain the supremacy of the slavocrats. He fought for the lost cause as First Lieutenant in the 41st Tennessee Regiment, and was taken prisoner at Fort Donelson, carried to Camp Chase, where he was kept for two and a half years, suffering all the hardships of prison life. However, the chief interest of his life were those of home and church. When a fanatic burned the old church which his father had erected, he replace it with a frame building, which still stands and continues to be known as Charity Church. He was always the chief strength and support of this church. He and his father, his children and many of his grandchildren rest in the old family cemetery in this church yard. He lived in our home when we were little children and always made ours the gayest Christmas of any in the neighborhood. He loved flowers and vegetables, taking great pride in having the rarest plants in the most beautiful garden in the community. He was gentle and good, and loved the higher and better things of life.'

Enlisted at Fayetteville Tennessee in 1862. Died of sickness on July 4, 1863 at the Confederate Hospital at Lauderdale Springs, MS and buried there.

William was born 1832 in NC his family moved to Tenn. He enlisted 4 Nov 1861 in Capt. James D Scott's Co. Tenn. Vol's. which became Co C 41st Tenn. Infantry commanded by Col Robert Farquharson. His regiment was surrendered at Fort Donelson Tenn. 16 Feb 1862 and he was taken as POW to Camp Morton in Indiana. He and another 595 men were exchanged at Aiken's Landing near Vicksburg, Miss. on 30 Sept 1862. He has 9 cards in his archival file the last of which says he was discharged 29 Jan 1863. No reason was given for the discharge. His initial training was at Camp of Instruction at Camp Trousdale, located in Portland, Sumner Co. Tenn. We are related by a distant marriage.

W. D. Gillum joined the regiment at its organization and was captured only three months later at the Battle of Fort Donelson. He was exchanged from Camp Douglass in ''63 at Vicksburg and medically discharged for a ''rupture'' or hernia. He returned home to plow fields and at some point rejoined the army, perhaps on the Tennessee Campaign at which time the 19th/24th and 41st Tennessee regiments were consolidated. He was paroled with the remnants of the 41st Tennessee at Greensboro, N. C. in April 1865.

NOAH, Peter J. - The Texas State Archives contains a copy of Soldier's Application for a Pension in the name of Peter J. NOAH, Tarrant County. The petition was filed on January 8, 1914; Approved on December 1, 1913; and Allowed from March 1, 1914. '....I was honorably discharged in the winter of 1864 after the Battle of Franklin Tennessee.' '....served from December 1862 to January 1864.... Co. G, 41st Tennessee Infantry.' Witness M.W. LYTHE '...I knew Peter J. NOAH before the war. We were boys together and went to war from the same town, Salem, Tenn...' Witness J.M. MAYES '...I known Peter J. NOAH...About 65 years...In Salem Tenn... He served as a private soldier. He served nearly four years. I known that he served honorable until our Regiment was disbanded in Columbia, Tenn.'

Military (Civil War): David L. Frazier served in Company H 41st Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regt. CSA. He volunteered for the Army on October 15, 1861 for a period of 12 months and was mustered into service November 4, 1861 at Camp Trousdale. He was captured at Fort Donelson on February 16, 1862 by forces commanded by Gen. U.S. Grant and sent to Camp Morton, Indiana as a prisoner of war. He was later exchanged and returned to his unit. He was wounded, probably at the battle of Franklin, TN November 30, 1864 and, according to an article in the PULASKI CITIZEN, he stayed behind with his family when Genl. John Bell Hood retreated after the battle of Nashville in December of 1864. He took his Oath of Amnesty at Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee on January 14, 1865. The 41st fought in the battles of Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge in Georgia. They also fought during the battle for Atlanta. After the War David L. Frazier and his family moved to Obion County, Tn. They lived near Troy, Tn. They were living there when the 1870 census was taken. His wife, Elizabeth Doggett Frazier died and is buried in Obion County, Tn. 41st Infantry The officers and men of Company H, 41st Tennessee Infantry were from Brick Church and other Giles County communities and from Cornersville. Cornersville was in Giles County until the northeast section of Giles County was ceded to Marshall County in 1870. Thus, the men and officers of this company were all Giles Countians in 1861. One thousand men in ten companies formed the 41st Tennessee Infantry at its organization at Camp Trousdale, Tennessee, in November, 1861. All were volunteers. Robert Farquarson was elected Colonel of the regiment. The Giles County company was headed by Captain Robert G. McClure, who was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment and replaced by Captain John Osborne. The regiment was ordered first to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where it became part of General Simon B. Buckner's Division of The Central Army of Kentucky. Ordered to Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River on February 12, 1862, the 41st Tennessee Infantry was attached to Colonel John C. Brown's Brigade of Buckner's Division. During the Battle of Fort Donelson the 41st Tennessee took an active part in the fighting and reported 575 engaged, 2 killed, 6 wounded, and 26 missing. The 41st Tennessee was surrendered with the rest of Buckner's Division on February 16, 1862, and sent to various northern prisons. After seven months in prison, the men of the 41st Tennessee were released on parole at Vicksburg, Mississippi, September 18, 1862, and the regiment was reorganized at Clinton, Mississippi, on the 29th of September. The regiment was officially declared exchanged on November 10, 1862. Some members of the 41st Tennessee had not been captured at Fort Donelson, had served in other regiments, and now returned to the 41st Tennessee. On December 27, 1862, the 41st Tennessee was placed in Brigadier General John Gregg's Brigade along with the 3rd Tennessee Infantry and other infantry regiments. The 41st Tennessee reported 526 effectives at that time. Early in January, 1863, Gregg's Brigade moved to Port Hudson, Louisiana, and remained there as a silent spectator during the bombardment until May 2, 1863, when they left for Jackson, Mississippi. On May 12th, 1863, The 41st Tennessee was heavily engaged in the Battle of Raymond, Mississippi. After some severe skirmishing near Jackson, the 41st Tennessee was stationed near Vernon, Mississippi, on June 30th, and was at Yazoo City when Vicksburg fell of the 4th of July, 1863. 'At Yazoo City the men and officers disposed of a large portion of their jewelry, consisting of watches, rings, and chains, to the ever-vigilant and far-sighted Jews. They seemed to know that the surrender of Vicksburg could be delayed only a few days, and then that a ring of the value of two or three dollars would be worth more than two or three hundred dollars of Confederate money.' The 41st Tennessee 'was encamped during the month of August at Enterprise, Mississippi, where it feasted on peaches done in every style, and played poker for the money it had received for its jewelry at YazooCity.' In September, 1863, the 41st Tennessee was transferred to the Army of Tennessee and ordered to north Georgia, where they were soon heavily engaged in the Battle of Chickamauga on the 19th and 20th of September. The regiment reported 325 men engaged in the battle and suffered severely in killed and wounded. Following the Battle of Chickamauga, Gregg's Brigade was broken up and the 41st Tennessee was placed in General George Maney's Brigade. They fought in the Battle of Missionary Ridge on November 25th, 1863. Retreating to the vicinity of Dalton, Georgia, the 41st Tennessee and the rest of the Army of Tennessee went into winter quarters. On December 14, 1863, the 41st Tennessee reported 201 effectives, 226 present, with 151 arms. From there the history of the Army of Tennessee is the history of the 41st Tennessee Infantry. They fought daily under the command of General Joe Johnston during the retreat to Atlanta and fought in the Battle of Jonesboro, Georgia, on August 31, 1863. In June, the 41st Tennessee had been transferred to Brigadier General Otho Strahl's Brigade. General John Bell Hood led the Army of Tennessee across Alabama and home to Tennessee in the latter part of 1864. Hood's ill-fated plans to recapture Nashville resulted in the disasterous battles of Franklin and Nashville. The defeated Army of Tennessee retreated southward from Nashville toward the safety of the Tennessee River, passing through Giles County during the Christmas holidays of 1864. The remnants of the 41st Tennessee Infantry surrendered with the Army of Tennessee on April 26, 1865, at Salisbury, North Carolina, and was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, on May 1, 1865. 'The 41st Tennessee was ever ready to do, or to attempt to do, whatever was ordered, whether to dig a ditch or cross one in the face of the enemy, to charge a battery or go on picket. It lost more men on picket than in the charge. Its dead are laid away in unmarked graves in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, and in the prison cemeteries of Camp Douglas, Camp Morton, Rock Island, and Camp Chase.'
