Ninth Tennessee Infantry
Company I
was organized in Memphis in May, 1861.
The writer has not been able to gain any assistance whatever in regard to this
company, though making urgent appeals to those who were honored officers of it.
It was made up mainly of men of foreign birth; was well officered, and did its
duty nobly. Capt. Hal Rogers was Captain until 1863, when he became Major of
the regiment. Hancock, Stratton, and McCarty were Lieutenants in the
organization. Lieut. Stratton lost a leg during the war. Sam Rose was its
Captain at the close of the war. Though very young, he was an efficient and
gallant officer. Dr. W. E. Rogers, of this company, was made Surgeon of the
regiment in May, 1861, to whom the men were devoted on account of his great
skill and kindness. Dr. G. W. Crosby, of this company was Hospital Steward of
the regiment, and was very efficient. This company sustained a heavy loss at Shiloh. It was
recruited in Knoxville in October,
1862. It is greatly regretted that the roster could not be had.

Ninth Tennessee Infantry
Company L.
In April, 1862, Captain W. J. Lyle, of Dancyville, Tenn, organized a company and joined
the Ninth Regiment. This company was known for a few months as company L. It
was well officered, made up of gallant men, most of the company very young, but
very zealous; in fact, most of them were of years too tender for camp-life, and
hence the conscript law and sickness discharged a large part of the company.
Those who were retained in the service were transferred to Company D in August,
1862. Only a partial list of this company can be had at present: W. J. Lyle,
Captain, discharged on account of sickness, August, 1862; G. R. Pewitt, First Lieutenant, died of consumption, July, 1863.
He was efficient, noble, brave, and of superior worth. Milton Ragland and G. W.
Nail were the other officers, if the writer remembers correctly. The other
names, as recollected, are: A. J. Cherry, R. S. Carney, Jas. Campbell, W. J.
Campbell, Lawrence Campbell, H. G. D. Collins, J. W. Adams, G. L. Alexander, S.
