Roster, Maj. Thomas Hogg's Battalion
This was taken from the Georgia Military Affairs Volume 3, 12 June 1810 - 24 
November 1813.  It can be found at the Georgia Archives in Morrow.  The book 
also included the returns of the 2nd and 3rd Class (1813 and 1814).  A 
handwritten note on the page indicated this unit may have been the "29th Regt." 
and was "commissioned orig. Sept. 19, 1812."  I've transcribed each page that 
had one of my ancestors and it effectively documents at least a third of a very 
large unit.  The diary of Thomas Davis puts the unit at the battles of Autosee, 
Tallasee and Ft. Defiance, Al.  A Duke family legend is that my 2x great 
grandfather, the first of two Charles Dukes in the unit, was wounded at the 
Battle of Horseshoe Bend, Alabama with Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston.  If 
true, this unit would have been in that battle.  The likely reality is that the 
wound occurred at Ft. Defiance when General John Floyd attempted to link up 
with Andrew Jackson.  Following a bloody US victory at Ft. Defiance, Jackson 
and Floyd saw no reason to link forces.  Jackson went on to Horseshoe Bend in 
the following weeks.  Floyd returned to Georgia to command the defense of 
Savannah.
