Re: West Tennessee Unionists
No. The recruitment of the 13th/14th was not as localized as that of the men from the 6th and most men were not from McNairy. The men of the 13th who escaped at Fort Pillow or were elsewhere at the time just ended up first at Columbus KY in with the men from the 7th who escaped or were elsewhere than Union City. Later when they were transferred into what was left of the 6th they were placed in Co E and one of the lieutenants became its captain.
