My Great Great Great Uncle Elias Fugatt served as a Private under Captain Barry. Our family is proud of his service!

My Great-Great Grandfather William “Wiley” Fortner Jr served in this unit.
Dennis, thank you for your contact. A few years back, I corresponded with another descendant of Wiley Fortner. She said the story in their family was that Wiley was plowing his field when he heard the news that the Federal troops were marching to Tennessee. Wiley unhitched his plow, leaving it in the field, and rode into town to enlist.
Ha. Hello. That is the story I get from my Grandfather. Im Richard Minks, grandson of Robert Fortner, Wiley’s great nephew I believe. I continued the Artilleryman tradition and was raised on a horse. Guess the apple doesnt fall to far from the tree. Thanks for the in depth story on Barry’s Boys, as I call em. Blessed holiday to you all.
I have been searching for info on my ggg grandfather Wiley Fortner, I believe this may be him but I’m not sure. Do you know if he is the father of Charles “Charley” Oscar Fortner who had a son named Townsend Whitaker Fortner? The settled in Missouri. I am Townsend’s grandaughter Jayme Fortner.
My 2nd Great Grandfather is Fritz Maunz, thank you for all the information from my Maunz family!
I am related to Elias Fugatt. I am very interested in his service. I was wondering if anyone knew what the company flag looked like. Elias was my great great great grandpas brother
