Notes for William Ellis
Puckett:
From "The Roots and Some
of the Branches of the Puckett Family Tree" by Christine South Gee
William Ellis Puckett joined
Co. I., First Georgia State Troops Infantry, Sept., 1861; Capt. Lynn in command.
He was in this company six months, being mustered into service in Appling
Co. and then went to Chatham County to help build Fort Boggs on the Savannah
River. Mustered out of state service at Savannah.
In May, 1862 he joined the first Georgia Calvalry Regiment, Company I,
Captain Leake's County at Big Shanty, Georgia.
From there he went to Chattanooga, thence to Murfreesboro, Tennessee,
where he was in his first battle at Murfreesboro, July 13, 1862.
It was in this battle that his horse was shot and killed while he was
sitting on him. He was in a week's
battle at Murfreesboro. After that
he went into Kentucky at Rankin's Mill on the Cumberland River.
He, with three comrades, was fishing.
He looked across the river and saw about 25 Yankees on horses crossing
the river at a ford. The Yankees shot and captured the other three men and all of
their horses. Puckett fell as dead
and the Yankees thinking him dead went away.
Puckett escaped and went into East Tennesseee on foot.
This was about 100 miles from where his horse had been captured.
His boots hurt him so badly that he had to take them off and go
barefooted until the blood oozed from his feet.
He was in the battle of Chickamauga.
From there he went into Georgia again and engaged in fighting around
Atlanta in the winter of 1864. He
was never with his company again after the battle of Atlanta as he was in a
hospital in Atlanta for some time and then was sent to a hospital in Macon.
He went home on furlough and surrendered at Kingston, Georgia in 1865 as
detailed quartermaster sergeant under General W. T. Wofford. He served under Generals Forrest, Pegram, and Wheeler. He
was in two battles at Murfreesboro, Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Resaca,
Georgia; Big Hill, Kentucky; Richmond, Kentucky; and Atlanta.
He helped to destroy Rome, Georgia.
He was in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, and was never with his command
after that.
