James A. H. Brownlow
James A. H. Brownlow - Civil War
James, father of Harriet Octavia Brownlow Smith, Thiddo Smith’s gandmother, was mustered into Company K of Floyd’s Legion of State Guards in Cedartown, Georgia, sometime before 1863. Company K was called “Johnson’s Cavalry.” Each man had to bring his own horse. In mid-1863, James’ horse died and he was transferred to Company H.
According to family history, Floyd’s Legion was guarding Rome and after the battle of Chickamauga, their supply lines were cut off by Sherman’s advance and they began to starve. They were told by Col. Yieser to get home the best they could, but James was transferred to Wofford’s Brigate in the Army of North Georgia. He attained the rank of corporal. He was later captured and paroled in May 1865 at Kingston, Georgia.

With the out break of the War Between the States
James joined Co. K of Floyd's Legion (State Guards)
. He was mustered in Cedartown. Co. K was cavalry but
they had to bring their own horses and in mid 1863
his horse died. He was then placed into Co. H which
was foot Infantry. The story is told that during
Chickamauga Floyd's Legion was guarding Rome. Their
supply lines were cut and they began to starve. At
this point their Colonel, Yieser, told them to get
home the best way they could. He was then transferred
to Wofford's Brigade in the Army of north Georgia.
He was captured and paroled in May of 1865 near
Kingston Georgia. He made it back home and after the
