CHAPTER XIII.
PATRIOTISM OF SHELBY AND MOULTRIE COUNTIES.

 

SEVENTH CAVALRY REGIMENT

     This regiment was organized in September, 1861, with William Pitt Kellogg, of Fulton county, as its colonel, since made prominent by his election to the United States senate.  Shelby county was well represented in this regiment, in four companies.  Company H was raised largely through Captain Milton L., Webster's efforts, and it was almost entirely from this county.  The 7th regiment bore an honorable part in the many engagements in which it participated in the late war (we regret there is no history of this regiment preserved in the Adjutant-General's office), therefore our sketch is necessarily brief.  We append a roster of the soldiers from Shelby county.
