The OR notes that a MOH was issued William Megee, Drummer, Company C 33d New Jersey Inf. Dec.-- [n.d.] Bravery in action at Murfreesborough, Tenn.

However, the 33rd New Jersey was in Savannah, Georgia at this time?

A Goggle search re Murfreesboro revels the following:

NOVEMBER 14, 1864-JANUARY 23, 1865.--Campaign in North Alabama and Middle Tennessee.

No. 1.--Report of Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas, U. S. Army, commanding Department of the Cumberland.

The block-house at the railroad crossing of Overall's Creek, five miles north of Murfreesborough, was attacked by Bate's division, of Cheatham's corps, on the 4th, but held out until assistance reached it from the garrison at Murfreesborough. The enemy used artillery to reduce the block-house, but although seventy-four shots were fired at it, n? material injury was done. General Milroy coming up with three regiments of infantry, four companies of the Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, and a section of artillery, attacked the enemy and drove him off. During the 5th, 6th, and 7th Bate's division, re-enforced by a division from Lee's corps and 2,500 of Forrest's cavalry, demonstrated heavily against Fortress Rosecrans, at Murfreesborough, garrisoned by about 8,000 men, under command of General Rousseau. The enemy showing an unwillingness to make a direct assault, General Milroy, with seven regiments of infantry, was sent out on the 8th [7th] to engage him. He was found a short distance from the place on the Wilkinson pike, posted behind rail breast-works, was attacked and routed, our troops capturing 207 prisoners and two guns, with a loss of 30 killed and 175 wounded. On the same day Buford's cavalry entered the town of Murfreesborough, after having shelled it vigorously, but he was speedily driven out by a regiment of infantry and a section of artillery

An interesting sketch by BGen. H. R. Jackson, CSA, can also be found in the OR Supplement, Vol. 7, Pp. 681-684.

The O. R. also notes these two engagements:

Dec. 13 - Attack on R. R. Train Near Murfreesborough, Tenn.
