Hello Keith. The best source of information is probably in your Library, called TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR. It is in two volumns. In Vol.1, the Tennessee units that were held at one time or another, for the purpose of military instructions at Camp Cheatham were;
page 54 - 2nd Tennessee Cavalry
page 62 - 4th " "
page 172 - 1st " Infantry
page 181 - 3rd Brown's Tenn. Vol. Infantry
page 196 -11th Tennessee Infantry
page 265 -42nd Tenn. Quarles' Regt.

Camp Cheatham was established on the Spring Creek in Robertson County, TN just outside Springfield, TN. It was located at the Kinney Distillery and the Officers were quartered in side the Distillery and the enlisted soldiers were camped on both sides of the creek.
