Notes
a. Note:   REGIMENTAL HISTORIES OF TENNESSEE UNITS DURING THE WAR OF 1812

 COLONEL ROBERT DYER

 DESIGNATION: Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen or Cavalry
 DATES: September 1813 - May 1814 (some enlisted in January 1814)
 MEN MOSTLY FROM: Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson, Dickson, Giles,
 Overton, Robertson, Stewart, and Sumner Counties
 CAPTAINS: (Lt.) James Berry, Samuel Crawford, Nathan Farmer, James Haggard, Charles Kavanaugh, Archibald McKenney, John Miller, William Mitchell, Michael Molton, Edwin G. Moore, David Smith, George Smith, James Terrill

 BRIEF HISTORY:

 One of two regiments which Dyer commanded at different times of the war, this regiment was part of General John Coffee's cavalry brigade throughout most of the Creek War. The unit participated in most of the battles of the war, including Talladega (9 November 1813), where they formed the reserves, and Horseshoe Bend (27 March 1814). There were several companies of spies in the regiment: companies of cavalry that were sent on reconnaissance patrols and usually took the lead in the line of march for Jackson's army.

 MILITIA SYSTEM:

 From before the revolutionary war, communities formed what they called militia. Each county of each state would seem to section off into areas, where among the citizens they would choose a captain. The captain would know each and everyone of about 100 men and their capabilities. He would also know who were in each family. This enabled him to choose among them men to serve as jurors, men who could be taxed, and men who would be called at short notice to defend their homes against Indian attacks or attacks from foreign powers. William Mitchell was one of many who served in this capacity.
