Re: "Mountain Minute Men"
Interesting. I just found an earlier election for this company. The "List of Militia Officers" has Thomas B. Slated commissioned as Capt of the "Mt. Min. Men" on 2 January 1861. John C Sumpter 1st Lieut. William Sumpter 2nd Lieut. The December 1861 Election of CPT Clayton is not even recorded in the "List"
