CAPTAINS: William Alexander, Charles Conway, James Cumming, Daniel Price, Jehu Stephens, Ruben TiptonBRIEF HISTORY:
This battalion, along with a battalion under the command of Major William Russell, was part of an expedition led by Major Uriah Blue (39th U.S. Infantry) into West Florida in December 1814/January 1815. Their mission was to roam the Escambia River in search of refugee Creek warriors who escaped Jackson's capture of Pensacola (7 November 1814). The mission was largely unsuccessful, as the troops suffered from lack of supplies.Their rendezvous point was Fort Montgomery and at the end of the war they were in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, where they were waiting to go to New Orleans to participate in the campaign there. The war concluded before they were called out. The muster rolls of Captains Conway, Cummings, Price, and Tipton contain physical descriptions of the soldiers, as well as the county of residence. Captain Rueben Tipton and his four brothers served in the same company.

RESI
William visted us when I was quite young but he impressed me with his kindly, gentle manner and was a quite distinguished looking person. He was a minister, spent most of his life in Colorado, it seems to me at Boulder and later at Hokyoak where he was killed by a Switch engine. He was said to be very deaf which probably accounted for the tragedy. (Deafness due to otosclerosis is a frequent inheritance in the family). He was 85 years old at death.
He was killed when struck by railroad engine in Boulder, Colorado.
