In addition to these companies, Captain John W. Harris' Company "C", 46th
Tennessee Infantry Regiment, the bulk of whose regiment was captured at
Island Number Ten on April 8, 1862, served with this regiment as 2nd Co. "L"
from this date until the fall of 1862. However, the rolls of this company
are filed with the 46th Tennessee Infantry. Of the original field officers,
Colonel Travis resigned because of ill health; Lieutenant Colonel Atkins was
elected to Congress and resigned; and Major Swor was disabled and resigned
in 1863. Of the later officers, Colonel Venable was seriously wounded at
Perryville, and died in December, 1862; Colonel Lamb was killed at Ellsbury
Ridge, Georgia in 1864; and Major Henry Hampton, of the 4th Tennessee, took
command of the 4th/5th Consolidated Regiment.
The regiment was organized at Paris, Henry County, Tennessee, in the
Provisional Army of Tennessee, and moved to Camp Brown, Union City, Obion
County. Here it was reported on July 31, 1861, with 860 men present, armed
with flintlock muskets. It was accepted into Confederate service at Camp
Brown on August 9, 1861, and went from there to Columbus, Kentucky. It
remained at Columbus until January 1, 1862, when it moved to New Madrid,
Missouri where there was skirmishing and artillery fire for 13 days; thence
to Fort Pillow and Memphis; and finally to Corinth, Mississippi, where it
arrived on March 25, 1862.
During this period its brigade assignments were as follows:
September 7, 1861, at Columbus, Kentucky. Brigadier General Benjamin F.
Cheatham's Brigade, composed of the 5th, 15th, 2nd and 154th Senior
Tennessee Infantry Regiments, and Lieutenant Colonel Blythe's 1st
Mississippi Infantry Battalion.
October 24, 1861. Colonel Travis' Brigade, Brigadier General Gideon J.
Pillow's Division. The brigade consisted of the 5th Tennessee, and the 9th
and 13th Arkansas Infantry Regiments.
January 18, 1862. Brigadier General Alexander P. Stewart's Brigade, composed
of the 4th Arkansas Infantry Battalion, the 5th Tennessee Infantry, a West
Tennessee Infantry Battalion, and Stewart's and Upton's Tennessee Artillery
Companies.
March 1, 1862, at Madrid Bend. Colonel Travis commanded the garrison at Fort
Bank-head, consisting of the 5th and 4Oth (Walker's) Tennessee Infantry
Regiments, the 1st Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee Infantry Regiment, and
Bankhead's Tennessee Battery. At this time, Major General John P. McCown was
in command.
In the Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862, the regiment was again in
Stewart's Brigade, which was in Brigadier General Charles Clark's 1st
Division, Major General Leonidas Polk's Corps. The brigade was composed of
the 13th Arkansas, the 4th, 5th and 33rd Tennessee Infantry Regiments, and
Stanford's Mississippi Battery. For its conduct in the battle, the regiment
was commended by General Polk.
At the reorganization after Shiloh, Colonel Venable succeeded Travis in
command of the regiment, which remained in Stewart's Brigade for the
remainder of the war, first under General A. P. Stewart, later under
Brigadier General Otho F. Strahl, with some changes in the brigade make-up.
The regiment assisted in the fortification of Corinth, marched to Tupelo,
thence by rail to Mobile, and finally to Chattanooga, to go with General
Braxton Bragg on the expedition into Kentucky. On this campaign Major
General Benjamin F. Cheatham was in command of the division, Stewart of the
brigade. At the Battle of Perryville, October 8, 1862, the brigade consisted
of the 4th, 5th, 24th, 31st, and 33rd Tennessee Infantry Regiments and
Stanford's Battery. In this battle the 5th suffered 90 casualties.
From Perryville, the regiment retreated via Knoxville and Tullahoma to take
up station at Murfreesboro. Before the Battle of Murfreesboro December 31,
1862, the regiment was consolidated into five companies, and merged into a
field organization with the 4th Tennessee, under the command of Colonel Otho
F. Strahl.
From the 5th Tennessee;-Companies
"A" and 2nd "C" formed Captain W. H. Wilson's Company of 4th/5th
Consolidated; 2nd "B" and 2nd "E" formed Captain A. Wayne Caldwell's Company
of 4th/5th Consolidated; 2nd "F" and 2nd "H" formed Captain E. Foust's
Company of 4th/5th Consolidated; 2nd "G" and 2nd "K" formed Captain J. B.
Ward's Company of 4th/Sth Consolidated; 2nd "D" and 2nd "I" formed Captain
B. F. Peeples' Company of 4th/5th Consolidated.
Although the two regiments continued to act as a unit from this time on,
separate muster rolls of the regiments, and of the original companies were
maintained through April, 1864. In the Battle of Murfreesboro the 4th/5th
Tennessee had 458 men engaged and suffered 76 casualties; at Chickamauga
they had 33 casualties; at Missionary Ridge, 63 casualties.
For the further history of the consolidated regiment see the history of the
Fourth Tennessee Infantry Regiment, with the following exceptions: On
October 23, 1863 the Fifth went on an expedition into East Tennessee
arriving at Sweetwater on October 29. However, it returned before the Battle
of Missionary Ridge. A report from 2nd Co. "I" shows that it was part of a
force which left Dalton, Georgia February 20, 1864, to reenforce General
Leonidas Polk in Mississippi, but on reaching Demopolis, Alabama, were
ordered back to Dalton) reaching there February 29, 1864.
In his sketch of the regiment in Lindsley's Annals, Captain John T. Irion
stated that after the termination of the campaign in Tennessee, Captain B.
F. Peeples, with twenty five men from the 5th Tennessee, joined General
Joseph E. Johnston at Bentonville, North Carolina. These men formed a part
of Company "D" of the 3rd Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment which was
paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, May 1, 1865.

He died on 9 Jun 1774 at the age of 67 in Orange, North Carolina, United
States. Other researchers have speculated on the date of death and their
assumption ranged from 1770 to 1790. June 9, 1774 is assumed because of
references to a will and land transfers by his son William II during the
mid-1770s. The DAR Patriot Index, Volumn 1, Page 63 indicates that the date
of his death was 1790. He had his estate probated after Jul 1774 in Orange,
North Carolina, United States.3 William Blackwood, an immigrant, arrived in
America before 1736 with a group that departed Londonary, Ireland. With
them were CRAIGS, NELSONS, TURNERS, JOHNSTONS, PATTONS, KIRKLANDS and
FREELANDS and perhaps TATES,HARTS, NELSONS, STRAYHORNS, MITCHELLS,
MULHOLLANDS, GILL and others. They spent a few weeks in the Lancaster, PA
area attempting to buy land. The "landlords" of Pennsylvania, fearing that
the great numbers of Scots-Irish settlers would gain political control, had
decided to sell no more land to the Scots-Irish. The "landlords" were
mostly of German origin. They were fearful that the different culture and
heritage of the Scots-Irish would not be compatible with there customs as an
established settlement. Many of the Scots-Irish group moved south to the
Hawfields area of "old" Orange County, NC. Orange County has since been
divided into five counties. The Hawfields area is located in Alamance and
Guilford Counties on current maps. Some of the group stayed in the Hawfields
area and some settled twenty miles further east in the New Hope area of
Orange Co. Others slowly moved further and further west as the territories
were opened by settlement.
Hugh Lefler, in his "History of North Carolina", pages 77-78, traces the
route taken by the Scots-Irish coming to Orange County. "How did these
thousands of Pennsylvania emigres--Scots-Irish, Germans, Welsh, and others
. . .'with horse and wagon and cattle, ' reach their destinations in the
North Carolina back country? They made their southward trek over 'The Great
Philadelphia Wagon Road,' frequently called 'the bad road,' which began at
the Schuykill River Ferry opposite Philadelphia, ran west through Lancaster
to Harris's Ferry on the Susquehenna, thence through York to Williams' Ferry
on the Potomac, where it entered the 'Great Valley of Virginia,' passing
through Winchester, Strasburg, Staunton, crossing the James River at present
Buchanan, and turning almost due south to the site of present Roanoke;
thence eastward throught the Staunton Gap of the Blue Ridge, thence
southward, crossing the Blackwater, Irvine, and Dan Rivers, and thence to
Wachovia on a tributary of the Yadkin - - and, after about 1756, on to
Salisbury (NC)."
William Blackwood obtained a large tract of land located south-west of the
CRAIG's that was then known as "Big Meadows" (in Orange County). Rev. David
Craig stated: "It is said that the land was four miles from east to west
from ROBSON's old mill on the road that leads from Chapel Hill to
Hillsborough." This is now known as NC Hwy 86. Rev. Craig's landmarks were
as they were in the 1880s.
Sallie Walker Stockard in "The History of Alamance", (Reprinted by Alamance
County Historical Museum, Inc., 1986; first printed in 1900 by Capital
Printing Company, Raleigh, NC), states in Chapter VI: "Just when the
earliest settlers came to Alamance is a question, but this was one of the
first settlements in Middle Carolina. In 1744 there was a steady stream of
emigration pouring from Pennsylvania. They included Quakers, Presbyterians, etc.

(continued)
About 1740 Gilbert Strayhorn came to Haw Fields. Here the Craigs, the
Blackwoods, the Kirklands, the Freelands, and perhaps the Mebanes, the
Tates, the Harts, The Nelsons, the Mitchells, the Johnstons were among the
early settlers. The Craigs, the Blackwoods, the Kirklands and perhaps the
Freelands came across the Atlantic together, and, settling first in
Pennsylvania, removed to North Carolina, passing through Virginia in the
dead of winter, crossing its streams on ice. They reached Haw Fields about
1736-40. These families were connected with the first church at Haw Fields -
the embryo of Orange Presbytery. (Cited from Rev. Mr. David I. Craig of
Reidsville in his History of New Hope Church, 1891).
On the East side of the land on which they settled was an elevation known as
"The Blackwoods' Mountain".
In Rev. Craig's History of New Hope, he states, "William Blackwood, like
Gilbert Strayhorn and William Craig, was one of the Patiarchs of New Hope
and he was the rich man of the congregation in his day. It is said his
lands were four miles in extent from east to west, from near Robson's old
mill to the old road leading from Chapel Hill to Hillsboro.
A story is told of him which illustrates the sturdy Scotch character and
customs of that historical period: When either John Craig of Charles Johnson
asked him for his daughter in marriage, falling back upon the customs of
Scotland, he said to the young man, "I have a thousand acres of land,
besides other property to give to my daughter, and have you an equal amount
to start with her?" The young man had to answer - "No!" and the consent to
the marriage was refused.". The wedding took place a few months later and
William "pouted" for a while according to Rev. Craigs account of the events.
William Blackwood's will dated October 8, 1772 divided his estate between
his wife and children. Charles Wilson Johnston and John Craig were Executors
of the Will. He further requested in his Will that his Wife, Elizabeth,
live with his son William to whom he favored in his legacies "after his
debts were paid".
Prior to the Declaration of Independence, William and his son William, were
frequently called upon to be a Juror in judgement of other citizens, he was
an Overseer of Roads. From Orange County Court records from that period: He
was called upon to layout a road ". . . from where Alexander Mebane lives to
John Woody's Ferry on Hico River". He was also assigned by the court to be
Overseer for designated people for various reasons.
Records of land transactions as documented by Deeds Register William
Churton, show the Grant of 480 acres from the Earl of Granville to William
Blackwood in 1755 (Orange County Deed Book 1, Page 58). Another
transaction for the sale and transfer of 640 acres was documented by Mr
Churton on December 12, 1759 as a sale from the Earl of Granville to William
Blackwood. It is not known if the transactions were to the senior William
Blackwood or to his son, William Blackwood. About the same time, Orange
County land records indicate that William Blackwood obtained land from John
Stroud Jr. on 12 November 1754 (Deed Book 1, Page 41) and from Richard
Caswell on 9 June 1756 (Deed Book 1, Page 155).
Elizabeth "Betsy" CRAIGE and William BLACKWOOD Sr were married in 1728 in
Londonderry, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. William's dates
and place of death furnished by Mrs. Eleanor McCauley Worley, 4339 Patrick
Road, Sunbury, Ohio 43074 for "Index of NC Ancestors", Vol II-1984.
17. Elizabeth "Betsy" CRAIGE4 was born on 30 Nov 1716 in Londonderry,
Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. She died after 8 Oct 1772 at
the age of 55 in Orange, North Carolina, United States.
20. John KING Jr was born on 22 Aug 1724 in Prince George, Virginia, United
States. He immigrated in 1759 to Orange, North Carolina, United States. He
served in the military between 1776 and 1781 in Orange, North Carolina,
United States.5 John owned 135 1/2 acres on 3 Jun 1778 in Orange, North

32. Charles BLACKWOOD was born about 1668 in Glencairn, Dumfries-Shire,
Scotland, United Kingdom. Agnes HUNTER and Charles BLACKWOOD were married.
33. Agnes HUNTER was born about 1678 in Scotland, United Kingdom.
34. Captain William C. CRAIGE was born about 1662 at Holyroodhouse in
Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, United Kingdom. He died on 19 Nov 1744 at
the age of 82 at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, United
Kingdom. It would be a matter of profound joy to me, if I knew the
ancient home and history of my people in the old world, but I suppose this
will always be denied me. All that I do know is from dim and shadowy
traditions, which have been handed down from generation to generation:
Namely - That they were a suffering and persecuted people in Scotland: That
their persecutions were on account of their religious principles: That for
some cause they were either transferred or banished to Ireland: That in
Ireland they suffered untold hardships and trials: And that all these
trails were laid at the door of Popery.
As an evidence that these traditions are absolute facts, I now have
in my possession many old Books which were brought by my Ancestors from the
old world to this Country. These Books are Presbyterian, "to the very
core", such as the "Solemn League and Covenant", "The Touchstone of
Sincerity" by Flasel, "The Cabinet of Jesus Sermons", and "Catechisms and
the Confession of Faith" in abundance. These books are "finger-worn", as
well as "time-worn", and show that they were faithfully studied. These were
the books which Papists hated, and still hate, and through their teachings,
in former days, thousands went to the stake!
The name "Craig", was originally spelled with a final "e", and some
of the family still retain the "e", but most of them have dropped it. It is
the euphonious name for "Cragg" or "Crag", which is pure Scotch and means a
"mountain" or "hill" - "rough" or "rugged". The character and disposition
of some of the older Craig's always seemed to me, to be well fitted to the
name.

Brisol Parish Records, Prince George Co. VA Hannah HOUSE and Captain John
KING Sr were married about 1720 in Prince George, Virginia, United States.
41. Hannah HOUSE was born about 1700. She died in 1726-1742 at the age of
26 in Virginia, United States. Died in childbirth William Howse (sic) Rev.
Immigrant to Charles City Co. Va 1657. No other info and cannot verify.
Info was obtained through Kay Craft, originator was someone named Belinda
who I never talked to. Personally know of land/Mrg/Estate records on Houses
in Brunswick Co. Va period 1732-1800. Lots of Houses migrated to NC mid
1700s who are definately part of the group that lived in Brunswick. To be
quite frank, while Kay was working so hard on the House line my research was
totally tied up in Sampson Co. on my Mothers line. I knew Kay was on top of
it and I really trust her research. She is thorough. But then problems
arose that made me curtail my research completely. Haven't touched it for
almost a year. It took me a couple hours just to find my papers to give you
the above, and probable a full day to get it back to were I understand it,
if I ever did. One thing that really bothered me was the group that was
researching this Virginia line believes that they were of German Origin.
The info I have on my line is that we were English and I believe that to be
gospel. Now, while I did see enough proof that Peter House (mrd to Nancy
Trice) is strongly alligned/related to this Virginia group of Houses, I've
not seen enough to definitely state who Peter's father was. But at any rate
they are not both German & English - one of us has to be wrong. You might
want to contact Kay on this (NXCX16@prodigy.com) I'm almost too embarassed
to tell her I'm still among the living. Keep me informed please. Richard
