From the autobiography of John Polk Brownlow, son of Rev. Brownlow:
(Writing of experiences as a "rebel" cavalryman)
"When we got to Lawrenceburg, I learned that my father had been shot by the federals that day. I left the Co., found him at Mr. William Porter's house. He was shot through the bowels. I stayed overnight with him. He only lived five days. He and Joe Ussery had gone there on business. They heard the federals were coming and they started out. The federals came in behind them. My father was riding a mule. Ussery was riding a very swift mare. He got away but was shot twice in one of his legs. My father said he could not stop the mule.
