• Notes

  Thomas Franklin Bullock, his wife, Sarah Ellen (Duff) Whittington PattonBullock; two of his children by a prior marriage, Amos Bullock andWilliam Pendleton Bullock; two of her children by a prior marriage,Lenora Delila Whittington and Commodore Emery Whittington; and Thomas andSarah Ellen's daughter, Florence Imogene Bullock, came to Brazos Countyfrom Caldwell Parish, Louisiana about 1870 and settled in theReliance/Steep Hollow Community. He was a veteran of the 12th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, CSA. ----------------------------------------------------------------- From http://www.voicenet.com/~hsimmons/12LA%20WEB%20Site/Company%20C.htm The Southern Sentinels were recruited in Winnfield, Louisiana by WinnParish Clerk of Court John Abernathy Dixon. This was the third company ofvolunteers to organize in the parish. Initial enrollment took place inWinnfield on August 6th and 7th and the company immediately marchedoverland to the Red River community of St. Maurice in southwestern WinnParish to board a river steamer for the trip to New Orleans. There theywere transferred to the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroadand moved north around Lake Ponchartrain to Camp Moore, Louisiana inmodern day Tangipahoa Parish. This company arrived at Camp Moore just intime to be included in the Twelfth Regiment, Louisiana Volunteers. TheSouthern Sentinels' official enrollment date for 12 months of service atCamp Moore was August 18, 1861. The regiment was moved promptly by rail from Camp Moore to Union City,Tennessee and two weeks later on September 3, 1861 marched into Columbus,Kentucky on the east bank of the Mississippi River. They remained atColumbus for nearly six months during which time they participated in theconstruction of the extensive earth and timber fortifications created toprotect artillery positions that blocked Federal usage of the river.First time exposure to communicable camp diseases, bitter cold weather,garrison duty, and army life in general discouraged many men. Asubstantial number of these early volunteers died, or were discharged fordisability, or granted sick furlough from which they never returned. Manyhave simply disappeared from the records. However, Captain Dixon was ableto recruit replacements to keep the company up to minimum strength. The regiment was re-organized on May 10, 1862 under the terms of theConscription Act passed by the Confederate Congress in April 1862. Thisrequired all white male residents of the Confederate States ages 18 to 35years to enroll in the military for "three years or the duration of thewar." Under this act, all 12 month volunteer regiments in the field werere-enrolled. Because they were volunteers, they retained the privilegesgranted to volunteer regiments and elected their own officers andnon-commissioned officers. The re-enrollment election was an opportunityto get rid of unpopular leaders elected at Camp Moore and many changestook place. Officers not re-elected were allowed to resign and go homeand were no longer subject to military service. Non-commissioned officersnot re-elected were required to return to the ranks as privates. Many menaccepted this and served honorably until the end of the war. The Farmer Guards of Natchitoches Parish were re-enrolled in May 1862 asCompany M (Company M1 in the Compiled Military Service Records) eventhough the company was badly under strength. When it became apparent thatthis company could not be recruited to bring it up to strength, thecompany was dissolved and merged with Company C in July 1862. A newelection was held which divided the company officer and non-commissionedofficer positions between the Winn Parish and Natchitoches Parishvolunteers. Again officers from both of the original companies who werenot re-elected to positions in the combined company were allowed toresign and go home. Captain John Dixon was re-elected Captain of the newly consolidatedCompany C while Angus C. Alexander from Natchitoches Parish served as 1stLieutenant. William A. Dill from Natchitoches Parish replaced DavidWilliams as company 1st Sergeant. The positions of 2nd Lieutenant,Sergeant, and Corporal were split evenly between the two groups. To facilitate genealogical research, I have presented the two companyrosters on separate pages to maintain the identity of their places ofinitial enrollment. The men named below came from Winn Parish. -------------------------------------------------------------- Note from Ron Barnett 12/10/07- Thomas F. Bullock is listed on the Rosterfor this company which is from Winn Parish. Records show he moved to TXfrom Caldwell Parish, but he does not appear on the Roster for thecompany from that parish. Joseph W. Bullock is also listed in the samecompany.
