  • Notes 
    • Per Larry Herrin:
      "James Anthony Lusk, served in Colonel Malone's Co. of the Alabama Confederate Calvary, but deserted with his brother Joe, to the Union side, across the Tennessee River on a railroad tie. He lost his little finger to the Confederate Sentry. Although he is listed in the War Department as a deserter (Union) and a horse thief, he was actually carried to the Missour i River steamboat on a streacher, months later, the results of a bullet wound in his lung, from which he never recovered. He and his cousin Allen Lea (Lee) organized a company of Unio n men to fight under the Confederacy until they could desert over. In 1863, three years later, he and his brother were about all that was left of the original company. Allen Lea was captain of the company." (This information was obtained from Monica Carlstrom, a descendant of James and Lucy Smith Lusk.)
