I now hereby certify that the above is a correct roll of a
company organized on the 28th day of June, 1836, and tendered
for the service of the United States, under my command, to
Richard G. Dunlap, acting adjutant general of the State of
Tennessee, and were marched to Athens, under the proclamation
of Governor Cannon of the 6th of June, 1836, but left Athens
without being mustered into service, in consequence of being
informed that I could not be received in said service unless
I could parade sixty-three men, rank and file, which I could
not do, owing to the circumstance of some of my men having
turned back, they being informed that there were already
more men at Athens at that time than would be received by
the government; the circumstance of these men turning back,
before they reached the encampment, reduced my company below
the number before stated. I further certify that I tendered
said company as above stated on the 7th day of July, 1836.
JOHN B. CROZIER, Captain.
STATE OF TENNESSEE, Anderson County:
I, William Cross, clerk of the county court of said county,
do now hereby certify that to my knowledge John B. Crozier raised
a company of volunteers in the summer of 1836 in said county,
and I saw him take up the line of march for Athens, Tennessee,
the place of rendezvous, under the proclamation of Governor
Cannon of the 6th of June, 1836; and I further certify that
the above certificate of Captain Crozier is correct, from good
authority.
Given under my hand, at Clinton, this 9th of September, 1837.
WILLIAM CROSS, Clerk of the County Court.
STATE OF TENNESSEE, Anderson County:
I, Hardy F. Marshall, do now certify that I was a first
lieutenant in Captain Childs’,s company, from Anderson county,
at Athens, on the 7th day of July, 1836, and that I saw
Captain John B. Crozier and his company there at the same time.
HARDY F. MARSHALL.
I, Andrew Thompson, second lieutenant in said Childs’s company,
do now hereby confirm the above certificate of Hardy F. Marshall.
ANDREW THOMPSON.
