There was a CSA regiment raised in Cleveland Tennessee, the 36th Tennessee, known as the squirrel brigade because of the prevalence of squirrel rifles among the arms. Unfortunately for the local Confederates, the regiment was reflective of the politics of the area and most of the men were Unionists who deserted in mass to the Yankees when marched up to Cumberland Gap. I had a great great grandfather in that regiment for a while, and when he got back home he named his wartime son BROWNLOW- the name of the Tennessee firebrand Unionist and later Reconstruction Republican governor. Not a name that a good Confederate soldier would give his baby. :)

I have a copy of an 1860 letter from an ancient Tennessee ancestor of mine. The letter mentions Brownlow but didn't give an opinion of him. I don't know the politics of this ancestor, but his children and relatives all fought for the Confederates. He was a county official and never had a slave that I know of.
