Alney McLean's Company's Roster
Capt. Alney McLean's Company Roster For War of 1812 Compiled in 1908
Attending the fine parade in Greenville on Nov. 11, (I still call it Armistice Day) we were entertained with some of the finest bands in the state.
The entire program was a success, but there was something missing. It was the first such parade without a representation of the boys of World War I that this writer could recall. Looking over the crowd I spotted several, but most of them would have had difficulty stepping to the fast time of the marching bands. A beautiful tribute was paid to them by the fine band from Drakesboro High School when they halted the march in front of the speaker's stand and knelt in a moment of silent prayer, rising to play a medley of old World War I songs. It brought mist to the eyes of many of us on the sidelines.
I have here, an old newspaper, The Record, of June 4, 1908, which tells of the impressive ceremony that had taken place the week before on memorial day. “The committee, followed by about 40 of the old soldiers in line, visited both cemeteries. Some of the old soldiers were rather feeble and not a man in the ranks but showed the ravages of time and the results of disease and exposure received in the service of his country.”
At that time, (1908) Capt. R.C. McCracken was employed in the office of the Adjutant General in Frankfort, where in his spare time he copied the muster roll of Muhlenberg's Capt. Alney McLean's Company. Says the editor, “Most of the names in this list of First Regiment Kentucky Mounted Militia, War of 1812, will be recognized as belonging to the pioneers of the county, and who have many descendants in the county. They have long since mustered out, and have pitched their tents on fame's eternal camping ground.”
Their commander was Lt. Col. Samuel Caldwell.
Officers were Alney McLean, Capt.; Charles Campbell, Lieut.; Jere S. Cravens, Ensign; William Oates, Sergt.; Parmenas Bedman, Sergt.; Thomas Glenn, Sergt.; James Martin, Sergt.; John Furgerson, Cpl.; John January, Cpl.; Moses F. Glenn, Cpl.; John C. Milligan, Cpl.; John Earle, trumpeter.
Privates were: John Ash, Jacob Anthony, Cornelius Bowd [Bone], John Bennett, Jacob Bower, William Campbell Sr., William Campbell Jr., Moses Cummings, Moses P. Conditt, William Carter, William Cochran, Abraham Dennis, Robert Dudley, Thomas Everton, John Evans, Thomas Foster, John Good, John B.C. Gillingham, Alfred Hewlett, George Herman, Isaac Hines, Christopher Houser, Isaac Harrison, George Hunsinger, William Hill, Sion Jarvis, John W. Langley, David Luce, Graham Lynn, William Morton, John McFerson, Robert Moxwell, Samuel Martin, John Nunn, Robert Robertson, Samuel Rice, Thomas Saulsbury, George Sanders, John Stroud, James Skillman, Mark Stanley, Charles Tyler, Phillip Thompson, William Todd, Abraham Vaught, Joseph Winlock, Bryant Wilkins, Benjamin Young.
