The Creek Indian uprising had become more violent, and
it was necessary for the State Militia to the request
of the Governor for an enlistee regiment. Fearing that
a draft would become necessary, Colonel John Wesley
Pentecost read a proclamation to the assembly urging a
formation of a regiment in order to avoid the stigma
of a draft. 

The proclamation was approved and the regiment was
formed, an election was held to choose the new
commanding officers. William U. Anderson was elected
captain and the Coweta Volunteers were included in a
detachment of seven companies under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel William Wood. [Died in Randolph
County Alabama around 1858] 

John Wesley Pentecost then enlisted as a private and
after completing his term of service, was honorably
discharged at West Point, Georgia, on August 12, 1836.
John Wesley Pentecost died on November 19, 1836.
