7th Tennessee Cavalry USA, Company C

7th Tennessee Cavalry USA, Company C

by Jerry L Hayes (Great Grandson of Captain Asa (Black Hawk) Hayes

What follows is the roster of men who served in Company C, 7th Tennessee Cavalry USA, during the American Civil War. These were men of integrity and conviction. All of them were volunteers who, for the most part, furnished their own horses and equipment. At a time when their state (Tennessee) seceded from the United States of America, in a determined effort to rip our nation apart, these men declared with their treasure and blood: “Not on our watch!” 


They gave true meaning to the phrase “Skin in the game.”


On April 16th, 2022 we (their descendants and relatives) Muster at Parkers Crossroads City Park. Parkers Crossroads, Tennessee to honor the memory of these gallant soldiers. They are not forgotten.
