I was told that this saber belonged to Colonel Philip Pipkin, my great great grandfather, who fought with Andy Jackson in the War of 1812. In researching the military service of my ancestor I have become embroiled with the Tennessee militia's participation in one of the most interesting periods of American History. The story of the Tennessee militia would be extremely difficult to write, for it is not a continuous story of one unit, but a story of many units with many leading characters such as General John Sevier, General John Robertson and of course General Andrew Jackson and his two constant lieutenants, Generals John Coffee and William Carroll. The individuals and units of the Tennessee militia were constantly alerted for militia duty in the local area, and often called to volunteer for 60 days, three months, six months and sometimes for one year duty in the service of the United States. One of these militiamen whose love of country and ardent support of his leader Andrew Jackson, helped make the Tennessee militia of the early 1800s, the most responsive and finest body of fighting men in the United States, was Philip Pipkin. This is his military story and a story of part of the Tennessee militia in which he served from 1790 until the late 1810s. Philip Pipkin was born 24 Dec 1770 in Pitt County, North Carolina, the son of Phillip Pipkin. Phillip, the father, was one of the signers of the "Proceedings of the Safety Committee in Pitt County," at Martinborough on 23 Aug 1775, in which the signers swore to "...maintain and support all and every the acts resolutions and regulations of the said Continental and provincial Congresses to the utmost of our power and abilities." (1) The family legends are that Philip, the son, migrated to Nashville in the fall of 1790. We do know that he was in Nashville on 8 Oct 1792 when he married Margaret Brown. (2) After Margaret's death about 1808, Philip was married a second time, 11 Oct 1810, to Susannah Morris, the daughter of Lester and Frances Brown Morris of Giles County, Tennessee. (3) Frances Brown Morris was an aunt of a later Governor of Tennessee, Aaron Vail Brown. The Pipkin family lived on Richland Creek in the Nashville community where he was a planter. In the fall of 1830 the Pipkin family moved to St. Louis County, Missouri, where Philip died on 10 Aug 1841. The Tennessee militia was well organized when Philip Pipkin arrived in the territory. It was composed of all the male inhabitants of the age of 16 and over. Each militiaman furnished his own weapon, ammunition, horse and uniform. Each company elected its officers and the field officers (majors, lieutenant, colonel and colonels) of the regiments. The field officers of the regiments elected the brigadier general and brigade commander. The field officers of the regiment and the brigadier generals elected the major general division commander, a truly democratic army and unlike any military organization we have today. Assuming he went the most direct route to the Cumberland settlement, Philip Pipkin had his first introduction to the Tennessee militia on his travels from Jonesboro to Nashville. The road through the Cumberland mountains had been opened on September 25th, 1788 and traversed 183 miles of "a wilderness more dangerously infested with hostile Indians than any other portion of the western country - not even excepting the dark and bloody land of Kentucky." Because of the Indian raids on the emigrant parties, the Tennessee militia furnished a security guard for the protection of the travelers on the road. (4) As Philip was over 16 years of age, he became liable for militia duty as soon as he was established in the territory. How soon he was called for duty is not known, but the dangers from raids of the Cherokee and Creek Indians caused the men of the Tennessee frontier to be engaged in war or its proparation as almost a daily fact of life. Nashville was the seat of government of the Western or Mero District of Tennessee. So named Mero in honor of the Spanish Governor of New Orleans, Don Esteban Miro. In 1790 the district was essentially settled up and down the Cumberland River from east to west about 85 miles with Nashville the approximate center, and north to south not to exceed 25 miles. The population was estimated at five thousand. (5) The Indians were resisting this migration and during the years of 1780 to 1794 a settler was killed by Indians within 5 to 7 miles of Nashville on and average of one each ten days. (6) But the threat of Indians did not stop the emigrants for many of them were North Carolina's Revolutionary War veterans who were claiming the grants of land that had been given them as part of the pay for their service. (7) These veterans and the former soldiets who proceeded them into Tennessee made up the early officer corps of the Tennessee militia. In 1793, the Tennessee milita was organized into two brigades, an eastern and a western, and coincided with the district organization of the territory. At the time of statehood, 1796, the Tennessee militia was reorganized into three brigades, which again agreed with a district organization of the state. The militia in each county usually formed an infantry regiment, and the regiments in each district formed a brigade. In addition to the infantry regiments, each brigade had a cavalry regiment. In 1796, the three brigades formed one division. I am sure that Philip Pipkin served as a private and as a noncommissioned officer in the Tennessee militia during the period of 1790 to 1798. Few men without prior military service were elected to command. It was only after they had first proven themselves as leaders that the men would elevate them to positions of authority. Thus Philip must have proven himself in the Nashville community or in the Tennessee militia for I can find no record of prior military service. Philip Pipkin's name is recorded twice in the manuscripts volume, "The Commission Book, 1796-1800." This document lists the names of the officers tendered commissions in the Tennessee militia during this period. Davidson County furnished the First and Second regiments of Infantry and the Cavalry regiment for the Mero district. The militia companies would hold an annual muster at which time they would elect their officers and then report them to the Governor who would issue commissions. The date of the elections I do not have, but Philip Pipkin was commissioned a Lieutenant on 17 Dec 1798, and Captain on 12 Nov 1800. Both commissions were in the First Regiment and were issued by Governor John Sevier. (8) The Tennessee militia was reorganized under the militia act of 5 Nov 1803, which authorized two divisions of militia, each to be commanded by a major general. The Second Division was made up of the eleven counties in west Tennessee. (9) Each militia division was further organized into brigades. The Tennessee militia was alerted time and time again when it appeared that the settlements were in danger of Indian attacks. The alerts would often be false alarms, but at times the Indians being aware of the state of readiness would call off their raid or raid some other settlement. At other times the commanders would have their units assemble at a given location and then pursue the raiding party into the Indian villages. I do not know the date Philip Pipkin was elected, nor commissioned a Major in the Tennessee militia, for the commission books for the period 1801 to 1807 were lost. (8) That he was a Major is borne out by an article published 17 Jan 1807 in the Nashville, "Impartial Review and Cumberland Repository." The events leading up to the article were that on 2 Jan 1807, Andrew Jackson as division commander of the Second Division of Tennessee Militia, had called out 12 companies of volunteers. The companies were to assemble at Nashville and await General Jackson's orders should it be necessary to go into Louisiana after former Vice-President Aaron Burr. It was rumored that Colonel Burr was assemblying a force in Louisiana to overthrow the government. Andy Jackson, as patriotic as ever, was determined to stop this force if it existed. The rumor proved false. Andrew Jackson appeared before the assembled volunteers on 10 Jan, made them a stirring patriotic speech and dismissed them. His speach was such that the officers of this force put this article in the paper the following week: "By the particular request of some of the members of the 'Corps of Invincible Grays', and the earnest solicitations of Major Boyd, commanding the battalion from the 5th brigade of volunteers, Major Pipkin, and sundry other officers, the Major General is induced to suffer his address to the officers and soldiers on the 10th inst. to be laid before the public. The former are happy to say that the sentiments therein contained, meet their entire approbation and pledge themselves to support them." Philip Pipkin was elected Lieutenant Colonel, Commandant and P.G. Bradford was elected first major and Robert Johnston 2nd major of the 19th regiment (Davidson County) at the election of officers held on 23-24 Dec 1810 (10) and their commissions were issued by the governor on 17 Jan 1811. (11) I do not mean to infer that Philip Pipkin was an active officer in the militia from the time he made Lieutenant in 1798 until 1811. This is not the case. It appears that some of the officers would be elected for one year and then not stand for reelection the next. However, it seems that their seniority would date from the original election if and when they were later added to the active militia list. This is borne out by the absence of Philip Pipkin's name in the list of commissions for the years 1807 to 1810, and 1812 to 1815. The absence of his name in the list of commissions during the period 1813 to 1815 is very interesting, when you consider that he had two periods of active military service as an officer in the Tennessee militia in the service of the United States, the details of which I will provide later in this story. During the early part of the Creek War and the War of 1812 was fought in the southern part of the United States, the general government placed requirements on the states to furnish troops to outfit a force to meet these emergencies. The governors were authorized to fill their quotas by accepting volunteers or by calling up the necessary number of militia units. Tennessee filled the majority of its quotas with volunteers. If a unit was called then the elected officers would accompany it, however in the case of providing officers for volunteers, the election procedure was usually followed after the men were assembled. Governor Blount wanted to continue this practice. General Jackson wanted the commanders to be permitted to select the field officers under him. This would permit the commander to select those, "capable of command - who will fight and reduce their soldiers to strict obedience." (12) Actually both systems were used. Unless the order which mustered the troops specified that they were to have the right to select their officers, the officers (particularly the field and staff) were appointed from a roster. The roster was maintained by seniority and by whether or not the individual had served a tour of duty. The Tennessee militia was not just a group of frontiermen getting together to go fight a common enemy, the Indian. The militia was an organized force of trained part time soldiers that were frequently tested in actual combat with raiding Indians, and those in General Jackson's division were additionally given military instruction. The intensiveness of this training effort is borne out by two notices published in the "Democratic Clarion" and "Tennessee Gazette." The first notice in the issue of 31 Mar 1812 reads: "MILITARY INSTUCTOR For the use of the Tennessee militia may be had at the Clarion office. Colonels of regiments will oblige the editor by calling for copies they are entitled to." The second notice published 19 May 1813 reads: "MILITARY EXERCISE The officers of the 19th and 20th regiment of militia, and such other persons as chosse to attend are invited to parade in Nashville on the 3d Thursday of June next, to be drilled. This is considered as a voluntary thing on all sides, but it is hoped the officers especially will be punctual in their attendance. The times are such as to require great attention to military subjects, to qualify the officers..." The military tactics used by General Jackson in destroying the Indian villages and the specific orders he issued as to how the troops were to react to certain types of attack are evidence of his study of the art of war. A good example of his tactics as reported in a dispatch following the action of 9 Nov 1813 at the Indian village of Talladega. While it is chronologically out of order, it is worth telling at this time: "I moved on in Battle order. The Infantry were in three lines - the militia on the left, and the volunteers on the right. The cavalry formed the two extreme wings, and were ordered to advance in a curve, keeping their rear connected with the advance of the Infantry lines, and enclose the enemy in a circle. The advance guard, whom I sent forward to bring on the engagement, met the attack of the enemy with great intrepidity; and having poured upon them four or five very galling rounds, fell back, as they had been previously ordered, to the main army. The enemy pursued and the front line was now ordered to advance and meet him..." (13) The cavalry in reserve would then be ordered to close the circle and the destruction of the enemy would begin. In 1812 General Jackson prescribed the uniform to be, "Dark Blue or brown of homespun or not, at the election of the wearer; hunting shirts or coats, at the option of the different companies, with pantaloon and dark-colored socks...the field officers will wear the uniform which is prescribed for officers of the same grade in the army of the United States. Company officers will conform to the same regulations, if convenient; otherwise, they will conform to the uniform of their companies." (14) SECTION II - CAPTAIN PHILIP PIPKIN'S COMPANY OF MOUNTED RIFLEMEN IN THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES IN FIRST REGIMENT OF MOUNTED GUNMEN, TENNESSEE MILITIA, COMMANDED BY COLONEL NICHOLAS T. PERKINS, 19 DEC 1813 TO 8 FEB 1814. On Tuesday 14 Sep 1813, the "Clarion" and the "Tennessee State Gazette," carried the following article: "POSTSCRIPT - IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE An express arrived on Sunday last to his excellency the Governor Blount from Fort St. Stephens, bringing certain information of the dreadful slaughter of several hundred of our fellow citizens by the Creek Indians.. On the 30th of August about 750 savages attacked Fort Mims, a stockaded fort about 10 miles above Fort Stoddart and 35 below Fort St. Stephens, defended by about 175 fighting men, in which were 120 or 130 women and children...Every soul of the whites perished except 8, and of the Indians about 200 were killed...The inhabitants of the Mobile country have abandonded their dwellings and retreated to the forts...Aid is solicited from our states." The reaction of the citizens of Nashville to this news was immediate and effective. With their usual patriotic fervor a meeting was called for the 18th of September. The 21 Sep 1813 issue of the "Clarion" reported the meeting thusly: "Agreeable to a notice, a meeting took place in Nashville, on the 18th of September composed of a numberous collection of reputable citizens from the different counties. The Rev. Mr. Craighead was conducted to the chair as President and W.L. Hannum was appointed Secretary. The President in an eloquent and impressive speech informed the meeting of the object for which they were convened, viz. To divise means whereby some speedy and effectual aid should be afforded to the citizens of the Mississippi Territory, on the Mobile and who are unable to arrest the hand of the relentless savages. On motion, a committee was appointed of the following gentlemen, to take into consideration of the object of the meeting, and report thereon, viz, Gen. Thomas Johnson, Gen. Wm. Hall, Col. John Coffee, Col. John Alcorn, Col. R. Weakley, John Childress, Capt. Frederick Stump, R.S. Hall, Robt. Searcy, Capt. The. Williamson, W.L. Hannum, Col. Wm. Martin, James Trimble, Col. Wm. M. Thompson, Col. Richard C. Napier and Col. Philip Pipkin. The meeting then adjourned until this morning, Sunday 19th Sep 1813, at which time the committee made the following report, which was read and unanimously adopted: Your committee beg leave to report...that we are informed of the eminent peril of our brethern on the Mobile...have communed with the governor of this state and with General Jackson; and have the satisfaction to learn, that Gen. Jackson will immediately issue an order to convene the regiment of Cavalry commanded by Col. John Coffee, to meet at Nashville on the 24th inst. at which time they will...be ordered immediately to march to the settlements on the mobile... The committee have the satisfaction of informing the meeting & their fellow citizens that the executive of this state will issue immediate orders for calling into service 1500 militia of this state, to march against the Creek Nation, by virtue of an order from the General Government... The committee are impressed with the importance of carrying the war home to the enemy and would, therefore, recommend to the people, and to the general assembly of this state, now about to be in session, that measures be adopted to procure an additional force, under the authority of the state, sufficient to make the whole force to be marched from Tennessee amount to 5000 men....." The results of the meeting was that on 26 Septiember, Col. John Coffee and 500 men moved south to Huntsville. General Jackson and about 3500 men joined Col. Coffee at Huntsville on 11 October. On 3 November 1813, the entire force surrounded and destroyed the Indian village of Tallushatchee, killing all the men and capturing the women and children. On 9 November, the force surrounded the 1000 hostile Creeks that had the friendly Indian village of Talledega under seige. With the intention of destroying the hostiles General Jackson pushed forward his attack, but due to the lack of vigor on the part of one unit, 700 Indians broke through a gap in the circle and escaped. Because of the poor condition of his men, the lack of provisions for a prolonged campaign and the fact that only wounded men were holding the fort, he returned to Fort Strother. General Jackson's force had volunteered for the usual three months and this expiration date was at hand. To fill out his dwendling troops, General Jackson sent Generals Coffee and Cocke, and Colonel Wm. Carroll to Tennessee to enlist volunteers, preferably for a six months period (15). Philip Pipkin was not a participant in the force that served during the action just mentioned, but his son Thomas B. Pipkin was (1st. Lt. in Capt. Daniel Ross' Co.). However I do not think you would have fully understood why Philip, a Lieutenent Colonel in the Tennessee Militia would accept a lower rank, that of Captain, if you had not known that, first he was a member of the comittee that recommended carrying the war to the enemy, and second his division commander, General Jackson was in dire need of troops and seasoned officers. Colonel N.T. Perkins picks up the story of the situation in an article published in the 'Clarion' on 15 March 1814: "About the latter end of Nov. last, several letters were recieved by respectable characters from Gen. Jackson, giving a distressing picture of the state of his army - that they were restless and discon- tented, and about to abandon the campaign with disgrace & leave him and the frontiers in a defenceless situation; and requesting that volunteers should be instantly raised, to remedy the evil. Public addresses were also written by Co. Carroll and Maj. Searcy, two of the case, and the wishes of the General. The request was for mounted men, and sixty days named as the term of service - under officers of their own choice - and march on to Head Quarters and there to be mustered into service....A numer of respectable citizens whose age and situation would have exempted them from military duty, desirous of saving the campaign from breaking up, and the frontiers from being assuaged with blood, instantly stepped forward and gave an impulse to the public feelings - and in a few days, between 7 and 800 men were ready for the field. As the request was urgent, every possible exertion was made; and though they had to set out in a very heavy fall of snow; they met in the neighborhood of Huntsville on the 23rd 24th and 25th of December, expecting to proceed immediately to Fort Strother. But having been detained longer than was expected they went into the choice of field officers..." A more patriotic group of volunteers never existed. These Tennesseans left their families and warm hearths a few days before Christmas, during a blinding snow storm, with many of the officers at ranks far below that which they were accustomed to serve, However, even this was not their greatest sacrifice. The 14 January 1814 issue of the 'Clarion' reproted: "....The men who volunteered for sixty days under Colonel Carroll's orders have been accepted, on the condition that the individuals risk being paid by the government, as the General thinks it doubtful whether they will be paid....". After the two assembled regiments had elected their field officers, Colonel N.T. Perkins as commander of the 1st Regiment, and Colonel Wm. Y. Higgins as the commander of the 2nd Regiment were handed an order from Brigadier General John Coffee to the effect that he was assuming command of the brigade of two regiments. On 6 January 1814 at Camp Carroll Huntsville (now Alabama), the officers of the two regiments respectfully signed a petition which notified General Coffee that they did not desire to serve under his commad, but under the command of Colonel Carroll until they could be turned over to General Jackson. The petition apparently was honored for the two regiments started their march to Fort Strother soon after and General coffee was not in command (16). A duplicate of General Jackson's dispatch of 28 January 1814 from his headquarters at Fort Strother to Maj. Gen. Tomas Pinckney was printed in the 'Clarion' of February 8, 1814 and was as follows: ".....of an excursion I contemplated making still farther into the enemy's country, with the new raised volunteers from tennessee - I had ordered those troops to form a junction with me on the 10th inst. but they did arrive until the 13th. Their number including officers, was about 800; and on the 15th I marched them across the river to grass their horses on the next day I followed with the remainder of my force, consisting of the artillery company, with one six pounder; one company of Infantry of 48 men; two companies of spies, commanded by Capt. Gordon and Russell of about 30 each, and a company of volunteer officers, headed by Gen. Coffee, who had been abandoned by their men, and who still remained in the field awaiting the orders of the government; making my force exclusive Indians about 930." "The motive which influenced me to penetrate still further into the enemy's country, with this force were many and urgent - The time of service of the new raised volunteers was short, and a considerable part of it had expired - they were expensive to the government, and were full of ardor to meet the enemy - the ill effects of keeping soldiers of this description long stationary and idle - I had been made to feel, but too sensibly already - other causes concurred to make such a movement not only justifiable, but absolutely becessary...." "....I took up the line of march on the 17th inst. and on the night of the 18th encamped at Talledega fort, where I was joined by 2 to 300 friendly Indians....On the morning of the 20th...reached...the Hillabee Creek, and on that night I encamped at Enstackopee, one of the Hillabee villages about 12 miles from Emuckfaw. Here I began to perceive very clearly, how little knowledge my spies had of the country, of the situation of the enemy, or of the distances I was from them. "The insubordination of the new troops, and the want of skill in most of their officers, also became more and more apparent. But their ardor to meet the enemy was not diminished, and I had a firm reliance upon the guards, the company of old volunteer officers, & upon the spies...." "On the morning of the 21 I marched from Enotachopee, as direct as I could for the bend of the Tallapoosee; and about 2p.m. my spies having discovered two of the enemy endeavored to overtake them but failed. In the evening I fell in upon a large trail which led to a new road, much beaten and lately traveled -- Knowing that I must arrive within the neighborhood of a strong force, and it being late in the day, I determined to encamp and reconnitre the country in the night. I chose the best site the county would admit, and encamped in a hollow square -- set out spies and pickets -- doubled my sentenals, and made the necessary arrangements before dark, for a night attack. about 10 o'clock at night one of the pickets fired at 3 of the enemy and killed one, but he was not found unil the next day. At 11 o'clock the spies whom I had sent out returned with the information that there was a large encampment of Indians at the distace of about three miles, who from their whooping and dancing seemed to be apprised of our approach. One of the spies an Indian in whom I had great confidence, assured me that they were carrying off their women and children and that the warriors would either make their escape or attack me before day. Being prepared at all points, nothing remained to be done but to await their approach if they meditated an attack or to be in readiness if they did not pursue and attack them at day light. While we were in this state of readiness, the enemy about 6 o'clock in the morning commenced a vigorous attack on my left flank, which was as vigorously met. "The action continued to range on my left flank, and on the left of my rear for about an hour. The brave Gen. Coffee, with Col. Sittler the adjutant general and Col. Carroll the inspector general - the moment the firing commenced, mounted their horses and repaired to the lines encouraging and animating the men to the performance of their duty, so soon as it became light enough to pursue, the left wing having sustained the heat of the action and being somwhat weakened was reinforcd by Capt. Terrils company of infantry and was ordered and led on the charge by Gen. Coffee, who was well supported by Col. Higgins and the inspector general, and by all the officers and privates composing that line - the enemy was completely routed at everypoint, and the friendly Indians joining in the pursuit, they were chased about two miles with considerable loss." This attack was launched against that portion of the hollow square that was defended by Colonel Higgins' 2nd Regiment and the heaviest losses were sustained by the company commanded by Capt. John Hill. In this one company Captain Hill and three others were killed and ten men were wounded. The total losses of the force was 9 killed and 35 wounded of which two later died. In Colonel Perkins' regiment only two men were wounded and neither of these were in Capt. Philip Pipkin's company. One was Sergeant Thomas Reynolds of Capt. William Doak's company (17). General Jackson's dispatch of 28 January continues with the story: "The chase being over, I immediately detached Gen. Coffee with four hundered men and all the Indian force to burn their encampment, to attack it until the artillery could be sent forward to reduce it. On viewing the encampment, and its strength the general thought it most prudent to return to my encampment, and guard the artillery there. The wisdom of this step was soon discovered. In half an hour after their return to camp, a con- siderable body of the enemy made its appearance on my right flank, and commenced a brisk fire on a party of men who had been on the picket guard the night before and were then in search of the Indians they had fired upon, some of whom they bellieved had been killed, Gen. Coffee imediately requested me to let him take two hundred men, and turn their left flank, which I accordingly ordered -- but through some mistake which I then did not observe, not more than fifty four followed him, among whom were the old volunteer officers - with these however he immediately commenced an attack on the left flank of the enemy, at which time I ordered 200 of the friendly Indians, to fall in upon the right flank of the enemy, and cooperate with the Gen. This order was promptly obeyed, and in the moment of this execution, what I expected was realized, the enemy had intended the attack on the right as a feint, and expecting to direct all my attention thither, meant to attack me again, and with their main force on the left flank, which they hoped to find weakened and in disorder -- they were disappointed -- I had ordered the left flank to remain firm to its place, and the moment the alarm gun was fired in that quarter, I repaired thither and orderd Capt. Terrel, who composed a part of the reserve, to support it, the whole line met the approach of the enemy with astonishing intrepidity; and having given a few paces, they forthwith charged him with great vigor - the effect was immediate and inevitable. The enemy fled with precipitation and were pursued a considerable distance, by the left flank and the friendly Indians, with a galling and destructive fire. Col. Carroll who ordered the charge, led on the pursuit, and Col. Higgins and his regiment again distinguished themselves. "In the meantime Gen. Coffee was contending with a superior force of the enemy. The Indians whom I had ordered to his support hearing the firing on the left had returned there, and immediately entered ito the chase. That being now over, I forthwith ordered Jim Fife, who was one ot the principal commanders of the friendly Indians with 100 of his warriors to execute my forst order. They were pursued about three miles, and forty-five of them slain who found. Gen. Coffee was wounded in the body, and his Aid-de-Camp A.(Alexander) Donelson killed, together with three others." The Right flank of General Jackson's force was composed of Colonel Perkins' first regiment during the action just described and the left flank was composed of Colonel Higgins' second regiment. Capt. Pipkin's company had one man, Edward Tipton, killed and William Hughes was wounded. Other casualties from the first regiment were James Richards of Captain John B. Quarles' company and Samuel Marr of Captain George Elliott's company. General Jackson's dispatch continues: "Having brought in and buried the dead, dressed the wounded I ordered my camp be fortified, to be better prepared to repel any attack, which might be made in the night, determined to commence a return to Fort Strother the following day.....I commenced my return march, at half after 10 o'clock on the 22d, we was fortunate enough to reach Enotachopco before night, having passed without interruptinon a dangerous defile occassioned by a hurricane. I again fortified my camp...My expectations of an attack in the morning was increased by the signs of the night and with it my caution. -- Before I moved the wounded from the interior of my camp I had my front and rear guards formed, as well as my right and left columns, and moved off my centre in regular order, loading down a handsome ridge to Enotachopco Creek, at a point which was clear of roads, except im- mediately on its margin. I had previoustly issued a general order, point- ing out the manner in which the men should be formed in the event of an attack on the front or rear, or on the flanks, and had particularly cautioned the officers to halt and form, accordingly, the instant word should be given. The front guard had crossed with part of the flank columns, the wounded were over, and the artillery in the act of entering the creek, when the alarm gun was heard in the rear -- I heard it without surprise, even with pleasure, calculating with confidence on the firmness of my troops, from the manner in which I had seen them act on the 22nd. I had place Col. Carroll at the head of the centre column of the rear guard -- its right column was commanded by Col. Perkins, and its left by Col. Stump. Haveing chosen the ground, I had expected then to have entirely cut off the enemy, by wheeling the right and left columns on their pivots, recrossing the creek above and below, and falling in upon their flanks and rear; but to my astonishment and mortification when the word had been given by Col. Carroll to halt and form up, and a few guns had been fired, I beheld the right and left columns of the rear guard precipitately give way. "....leaving not more than 25 men, who being formed by Col. Carroll, maintained their ground as long as it was possible to maintain it,...There was then left to repulse, the rear guard the artillery company, and Capt. Russell's company of spies... "Lieut. Armstrong, who commanded the Artillery company....ordered to form and advance to the top of the hill...Amist a mast galling fire from the enemy, more than ten times their number, they ascended the hill and maintained their positions until their piece was hauled up, when having leveled it, they poured upon the enemy a fire of grape, re-loaded, fired again, charged and repulsed them. "The most deliberate bravery was displayed by Constant Perkins and Cravin Jackson of the artillery, acting as gunners..... "The brave Lieut. Armstrong, just after the first fire of the cannon, with Capt. Hamilton, of East Tenn., Bradford and M'Gavock, all fell -- the Lieut. exclaimed as he lay, 'My brave fellows, some of you may fall but you must save the cannon.'" "About this time, a number crossed the creek and entered into the chase. The brave Captain Gordon of the spies, who had rushed from the front, endeavored to turn the left flank of the enemy, in which he partially suceeded; and Colonel Higgins, Col. Carroll and Captains Elliott and Pipkin, pursued the enemy for more than two miles; who fled in consternation, throwing away their packs, and leaving 26 of their warriors dead on the field. This last defeat was decisive and we were no more disturbed by their yells....." "In the several engagements our loss was 20 killed and 75 wounded, four of whom have since died. ..The loss of the enemy cannot be accurately ascertained. One hundred and eighty nine of their warriors were found dead; but this must fall considerably short of the number really killed & the wounded can only be guessed at. "....The enemy's country had been explored, and a road cut to the point where their forces will probably be concentrated when they shall be drawn from the country below...the excursion, unless I am greatly mistaken, it will be found to have hastened the terminatiion of the Creek War more effectively that any measue I could have taken with the troops then under my command...." /s/ Andrew Jackson In the last engagement at Enotachopco Creek, Captain Philip Pipkin's company which joined in the chase had the following wounded: 1st Lieut. Isaac Watkins, 2nd Lieut. John Demoss, Private Bright M'Clelland and Private David Eakin. David Eakin later died from his wounds (17). The force returned to Fort Strother on the 27th of January 1814, and on the 28th of January General Jackson ordered Colonel Perkins to surrender his sword and to immediately stand trial for Disobedience of Orders, Cowardice, and Abandoning his post. The court-martial set two hours after Colonel Perkins surrendered his sword. The court which deliberated on the 28th and 29th of January was composed of; President, Colonel Wm. Y. Higgins, Members, Lt. Col. John Doak, Captian John Gordon, Captain Mitchell, Captain Philip Pipkin, Captain Russell, Captain Matthew Patterson and Captain John B. Cheatham. Captain Louis Winston was the Judge Advocate. It was interesting that Lt. Col. Doak, Major Maury and Captains Doak, Elliott, Pipkin, and Patterson were all members of Colonel Perkins' regiment and are also sitting in judgement on his actions in battle. The court found Colonel Perkins Not Guilty of Cowardice, but Guilty of Disobeying a General Order and of Abandoning his post, but stated they believed he was Justified in doing so. On 30 January Col. Perkins was returned his sword, and reassumed command of his regiment(16). On 31 January 1814 General Jackson issued the following order: "Brigadier General Isaac Roberts, will, on the morning of the first day of Feb. next, take up the line of march with Col. Nicholas T. Perkins and Col. Wm. Y. Higgins' Regiments of Volunteer gun-men, from West Tennessee, whose term of service expires in sixty days from the time they first mustered. You will march them by Fort Deposit (Alabama); from thence the nearest route that provisions for the Officers and men can be plentifully obtained, to Fayetteville, Tennessee, when you reach Fayetteville, you will please to have them regularly mustered out of service and discharged...Those brave men tendered their services at a very important crisis when their services were much wanted; at a time when I was left almost without men, and the Magazine Stores exposed to the enemy for the want of men to protect them. For their patriotism the deserve well of their country; they formed a junction with me on the 14th of this instant; marched with me on the return march at Enotachopco, many of them again distinguished themselves; they have done important service to their country, the merit and receive the thanks of their General. You are required as far as the supplies in the county will afford, to have them well supplied wth forage as their horses and supplies for themselves on their return march. After they are mustered out of the service they will be entitled to one days pay and ration for every 20 miles, until they reach their homes...(17) /s/ Andrew Jackson Major General The roster of Philip Pipkin's Company [attached as appendix A] shows that the officers served from 19 December 1813 until 8 February 1814, and the noncommissioned officers and privates served form 19 December 1813 until 20 February 1814. The roll further states that the noncommissioned officers and privates travelled 180 miles in reaching Huntsville place of rendezvous and from Fayetteville place of muster out, from and to Nashville (18). The privates recived $8.00 per month for their services and forty cents per day for their horse. Thus $12.00 per month per month for a horse but only $8.00 per month for a man. The muster roll further shows that Thomas B. Pipkin, eldest son of Philip Pipkin, joined the unit as a private on 1 Feb. 1814, "20 miles from Strother on our return march..." The men of Captain Philip Pipkin's company were paid for their service on 4 August 1814, almost 6 months later. SECTION III - COLONEL PHILIP PIPKIN, COMMANDING FIRST REGIMENT WEST TENNESSEE MILITIA IN SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, 20 JUNE 1814, TO 27 JANUARY 1815. On 20 May 1814, Governor Willie Blount sent the following order to Maj. Gen. Jackson, commanding Second Division of Tennessee Militia; "Sir: In comliance with the requisition of Major General Thomas Pinckney, that the posts of Fort Williams, Fort Strother, Fort Armstrong, Fort Ross and Forts Old and New Deposit should kept up....you will, without delay, order out 1,000 militia infantry of the 2d division for the term of six months, unless sooner discharged....; or you may accept a tener of service of the above voluteer infanty from the 2d division for the aforesaid term....... Those troops will be commanded by an officer of the rank of Colonel, and will be required to rendezvous at Fayetteville, on the 20th of June next....." /s/Willie Blount(19)" Upon receipt of the above order, General Jackson issued the following invitation "....to relieve the troops now stationed at Forts Williams, Strother and Armstrong on the Coosa River, as well as Old and New Deposit, I am commanded by his excellency Governor Blount to call from my division one thousand men in the service of the United States for the period of six months, unless sooner discharged by order of the President of the United States. The brigades generals or officers commanding the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th brigades of the second division will forthwith furnish from their brigades, respectfully by draft or voluntary enlistment two hundred men, with two captains, two first, two second, two third lieutenants and two ensigns, well armed and equipped for active service, to be rendezvoused at Fayetteville, Lincoln County, in the state of Tennessee, on 20th of June next; and then organized into a regiment, at which place the field officers and muster-master will be ordered to meet them...(20). The last sentence from General Jackson's invitataion, shows that his desired policy of having the field and staff officers appointed was then in effect. That Philip Pipkin volunteered for and was assigned to this command is borne out by a notice that appeared in the 'Clairion' on September 1814; "NOTICE - is herby given to all the Colonels commanding regiments in the second division of Tennessee Militia, who have not served a tour of duty, and whose commissions are an older date than that of Col. Philip Pipkin (now in service) and who did not legally contend for and claim their right to take the command instead of said Pipkin, and thereby did suffer their rights to be trampled on unnoticed, that I shall attend the rendezvous at Fayetteville on the 20th September and claim the command of the regiment there ordered to be organized. Myself being the only officer who conteded for the command under the real impression that I am entitled to it. /s/ James Henderson Murfreesborough, Aug. 24" Futher proof of the assignment and not election of the regimental commander is this sentence from the record of the congressional investigation of the court-martial which I will cover later: "...the Tennessee militia detailed under the orders of the governor of that state issued on the 20th day of May 1814, and afterwards placed under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Philip Pipkin...."(21). There are other articles in the 'Clarion' of this period which bear out the fact that the staff and field officers were appointed on a rotational basis, that is unless the order specifically stated that thevolunteers would have the privilege of electing their officers. The 1,000 men and officers mustered at Fayetteville on 20 June 1814 as ordered. The next six days were spent in organizing a regiment of 9 companies of approximately 100 men each, making plans for the occupation of the several forts and requisitioning and assemblying provisions necessary to supply this force of men. The regiment departed Fayetteville on 26 June. I do not have a confirmed list of the forts that each company was assigned to garrison, however, using the information from the remarks column of the muster-rolls of the companies, and the information from the proceedings of the courts-martial, I come up with the time phasing and probable location of each compay's assigned fort (22). Leaving Huntsville on the 26th of June, the regiment marched through (now Alabama), to Ditto's Landing on the Tennessee River south of Huntsville and arrived at Fort Deposit on the 2d or 3d of July. It is my belief that Captains Peter Searcy's and John Robertson's companies were left to garrison Fort Deposit. Colonel Pipkin departed Fort Deposit on the 4th of July and arrived at Fort Strother before 7 July (23). How long the regiment remained here I do not know. When the main force started from Fort Strother, I believe that 2d Major Alexander Ralston was placed in command of Fort Strother, and that Captians Ebenezer Kilpatrick and James Blakemore's companies were its garrison troops. The remainder of the regiment traveled south to Fort Williams where 1st Major Jasper Smith was left in command and Captains David Smith and Henry M. Newlin's companies formed the garrison. Colonel Pipkin, his field and staff detachment and Captians George Mebane, William McKay, and John Strother's companies continued on to Fort Jackson and established the regimental headquarters there on 31 July (24). In these days of supersonic air travel and highways with 80 miles per hour speed limits, this trip of approximately 190 miles from Fayetteville to what is now Montgomery, Alabama can be made in four hours by auto and less by air. But in 1814, this area was occupied by the Creek Indians and they were not all friendly. It is relatively easy for one man or a few men to travel 25- 30 miles in day, but it is another thing to move 1,000 men over 100 miles of trails and over rivers from Fayetteville to Fort Strother in approximately 10 days. To add to the difficulties is the necessity of providing food for the men and forage for the horses. One thousand men is too many to provide for through foraging parties and hunters. This size group must be supplied from external sources. The general and state governments make contracts with civilian firms to deliver the supplies to the units. The contractors, when possible, used flat bottomed boats to transport the supplies up and down the rivers, and this, unfortunately, made the delivery of supplies depend upon the weather and the height of the rivers and creeks. General Jackson gave the requirements for a force of 2,500 men and 1300 horses as; "Such a body will consume 10 wagon loads of provisions every day. For a week's subsistence they require a thousand bushels of grain, twenty tons of flesh, a 1000 gallons of whiskey, and many hundred weight of miscellaneous stores."(25) I will let you determine what you think the 1,000 men and unknown number of horses of Colonel Pipkin's regiment would consume, butI am sure you can see the magnitude of the proplem. Colonel Pipkin's regiment was requisitioned for garrison duty, to keep the troops occupied, the commanders of the several forts probably put the men to work repairing the log walls, removing trees and underbrush that interfered with the vision from the port holes in the walls, In general the regiment probably put the forts into as defensible and healthy condition as possible. Fort Jackson, the site of the earlier French Fort of Toulouse (about 5 miles north of the present town of Wetumpka, Alabama) was at this time the headquarters for General Jackson. Soon after their arrival, Colonel Pipkin and his troops at Fort Jackson were priviledged to see Andrew Jackson add the culminating stroke to his defeat of the Creek Nation. On 9 August 1814, thirty- six Chiefs of the Creek Nation and General Andrew Jackson (for the United States) signed the "Treaty of Fort Jackson", in which the Creek Nation gave up one half of its land to the U.S. On August 11th General Jackson departed Fort Jackson for Mobile. The inactivity of the routine of garrison duty was probably not very conducive to a high esprit de corps to these Tennessee frontiersmen A break in the monotony was the few Indians that were killed in the area around the forts being guarded by the first regiment. As time began to grow heavy on their hands, and the usual period of service of three months was nearng its end, a group of men began talk of the illegalaty of being ordered for six months service and some threatened to leave at the end of three months duty.(26) Colonel Pipkin apparently sensed the tenor of the men for on 23 August 1814, he issued a regimental order which, "required the officers of all grades, and privates, to use their best endeavor to suppress any mutiny or intended mutiny, under the penalties of a violation of the law of the United States" (27). On 4 September, Colonel Pipkin wrote to General Jackson, informing him that the troops were manifesting a mutinous disposition and had placed an "instrument" on the gate post a few nights before. The colonel recommended the establishment of a General Court Martial to try a soldier then under charges, in the hopes that this would act as an example and stop any inteded mutiny.(28) The instrument tacked to the gate post was a poem in which the intentions of the author was very clear. It read: "Look below we are the Boys, that fear no noise, Nor orders that we hear. Eighteen days more And then we go, Or be found in gore, And never come here no more, To suffer as we and many others have before. --Liberty Street" (29) The muster-roll of Captain Ebenezer Kilpatrick's company shows that one man was discharged by Court-martial on 14 September 1814. It is further noted that Captain Kilpatrick's company was located at Fort Jackson on this date. Also on the 14th of September, there was an open demonstration at Fort Jackson bythose that wanted support of their claims of serving only three months. On the 19th of September, approximately 100 men broke into the bread house, the bake house was set on fire and cattle were slaughtered and cooked in preparation for depature on the next day. On the morning of the 20th, following the sounding of reveille, approximately 180 of the nearly 500 men at Fort Jackson departed for Tennessee, "yelling and firing their guns".(30) There were deserters from the other posts of the regiment, and desertion was not uncommon even in the regular army units, but not in the strength that left Fort Jackson on 20 Sept. 1814. The muster-rolls and the procedings of the court-martial indicate that the probable disposition of the regiment on 20 September was: [1] At Fort Jackson: Regimental field and staff; Captain Peter Searcy's company, Captian Ebenezer Kilpatrick's Company, Captain John Strother's company, Captain George Mebane's Company, Lt. David Mitchell's detachment of Captain John Robertson's Company, and possibly Captain William McKay's Company; [2] at Fort Williams: Captain Henry M. Newlin's Company, and Captain David Smith's Company; [3] at Fort Strother: Captain James Blakemore's Company and probably the remainder of Captain John Robertson's Company. I'm sure you can visualize the extremely difficult position that Colonel Pipkin and his officers found themselves, in the days preceeding and the day of the mutiny and desertion. The men who deserted were friends and neighbors, and in some cases were even Kinfolk. But the militia in the service of the United States was subject to the Rules and Articles of War. The 7th article authorized a death penalty or, "such other punishment as by a court-martial shall be inflicted", for mutiny or inciting to mutiny. Article 8, authorized a similar penalty where any officer or soldier, "does not use his utmost endeavors to suppress a mutiny, or coming to the knowledge of an intended mutiny does not without delay give information thereof to his commanding officer."(32) In accordance with the 8th Article Colonel Pipkin and his officers were duty bound, under possible penalty of death to stop any mutiny if at all possible. The proceedings of the court-martial bring out the efforts of the officers and noncommissioned officers to stop the mutiny, but the fact is that the men did leave. Colonel Pipkin sent the names and the county from which the men were from to all Tennessee papers and offered a $10 reward for thier detention or return. The order was later given that the men be returned to their assigned posts or the Fort Jackson. Some of the men enlisted in other units, some returned on their own and others were returned under arrest. The muster-rolls show that the men began returning at the end of one week, and by the end of one month 97 had returned, by 2 November 166 men had returned.(35) The regiment was assembled at Fort jackson and departed 11 November for the Fort Pierce and Fort Montgomery areas. On 27 November the regiment was ordered to Mobile for the trial of the alleged deserters and mutineers. The court-martial convened on the 5th of December and consisted of: President, Lt. Col. Peter Perkins; Members, Major William C. Smart, Captain James Blackmore, Captian William McKay, and Lt. James Boyd; Supernumeries Lt. Daniel Mitchell and Ensign Thomas H. Williams. Apparently different clerks spelled Mackay and Blakemore as Blackmore. So I believe that the members of the court-martial were all assigned to the first regiment except the president and Major Smart. However all were officers of the Tennessee Militia.(35) The court-martial was adjourned on 18 December and the proceedings were forwarded to General Jackson, now at New Orleans for approval of the findings. General Jackson approved the findings of the court on 28 January 1815. The findings were: six men were sentenced to be shot; the two officers were sentenced to be dismissed from the service and prohibitied from holding commissions again and one had his saber broken over his head; the remainder of the 205 tried received lessor sentences of making up the lost time at 1/3 to 1/2 of their pay and at the expiration of their service to have half of their heads shaved and drummed out of camp.(22) With the trial over and their six months of service expired, the regiment departed Mobile on 21-20 December 1814 and started the return march to Nashville. The regiment was mustered out of service at Nashville on 27 January 1815. The names of the men assignd to the several companies of this regiment, as taken from the muster rolls is attached as Appendices H through P. In some instances three rolls of the companies have been read and where the names differ in spelling, I have put the variance in parenthesis. SECTION IV - PHILIP PIPKIN'S LATER MILITIA SERVICE What and when Philip Pipkin's next military service was, I do not know. J.T. Scharf's sketch of him says, "a colonel under Gen. Jackson in the Creek and Seminole Wars". (36) The inscription on Colonel Pipkin's tombstone reads, "Colonel Philip Pipkin - He was an officer under General Jackson in the War of 1812 and performed services in the Seminole War." This tombstone was erected by his daughter Frances Elizabeth Pipkin Long, who should have known if he served during the Seminole War or not. The Tennessee State Library and Archives informs me that, "in a newspaper listing of generals and field officers from Tennessee who served during the War of 1812 and subsequent Indian Wars that Philip Pipkin was listed as Colonel Commanding the 1st West Tennessee Volunteers in the Seminole or 1st Florida War. The newspaper item was said to have been compiled and printed by order of Governor James D. Porter." I frankly do not know what service Philip Pipkin had during the Seminole War. General Jackson took a number of his old officers with him, and Colonel Pipkin was definitely one of his old officers. I plan to keep searching for this proof so that I can complete his military service record. Thus ends my story of the military service of Philip Pipkin. He was a true representative of that breed of early frontiersmen, who were always ready to shoulder arms and volunteer to serve their country.

I also enclose you a copy of charges exhibited against David Hunt a private in Capt. Mebane's company. Understanding that the law requires a General Court Martial in capital cases, would therefore wish you to convene one as soon as possible, hoping that an early example may have the desired effect of preventing a farther progress of mutiny. In my last I named I should send a Scout after Mollon and the prophet his nephew; they have returned and said that the others must have left their plantations for sometime past from the appearances of their crops which they had destroyed. No news of importance; majr Warren received a letter yesterday from the Military Storekeeper at Decatur, which he sends you. By Es-po-co-ko-hanjah (who accompanied Majr Hickman from this place) you will learn that two Indians have been killed in the vicinity of this place by the friendly party: since which time others have been killed 40 or 50 miles above this place. Our provisions have become so scarce as to compel the contractor to give only flour rations to the Indians, having at present only 12 days rations of meat for the troops stationed here. Accept his wishes for your health and success Philip Pipkin Col. Commanding 1st Reg Tenn P.S. Since preparing the above, I read yours of the 27th the orders of which shall be carried into effect as soon as time and circumstances will admit. P.P.
