REGIMENTAL HISTORIES OF TENNESSEE UNITS DURING THE WAR OF 1812
COLONEL JOHN COCKE
DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment of West Tennessee Militia
DATES: November 1814 - May 1815
MEN MOSTLY FROM: Montgomery, Williamson, Dickson, Hickman, Robertson,
Rutherford, and Stewart Counties
CAPTAINS: George Barnes, Samuel Carothers, Richard Crunk, John Dalton,
Francis Ellis, James Gault, James Gray, Bird Nance, Joseph Price, John
Weakley
BRIEF HISTORY:
This regiment was one of three West Tennessee militia units at New Orleans
under the command of Major General William Carroll. They were part of the
flotilla that went down to New Orleans via the Cumberland, Ohio, and
Mississippi Rivers. The Nashville Clarion of 21 February 1815 mentions that
Captain John Weakly, of Montgomery County, was at the breastworks of
Jackson's line at New Orleans during the battle of 8 January. Muster rolls
of the regiment show no battle casualties, but do reveal many deaths due to
sickness -- a common occurrence for troops stationed at New Orleans in the
months of February/March 1815.
Colonel Cocke was sheriff of Montgomery County at the time of war. He is not
to be confused with Major General John Cocke of East Tennessee who commanded
the 1st Division and was counterpart to Andrew Jackson -- Jackson commanding
the 2nd Division.
Here's the second half of the COCKE information.

YOUNG, WILLIAM COCKE (1812-1862). William Cocke Young, early settler,
soldier, jurist, and official, was born in Davidson County, Tennessee, on
May 12, 1812. He moved to Texas in 1837 and settled at a place that became
known as Sherry's Prairie, near Pecan Point in the area of Red River County.
Young became the first sheriff of Red River County in 1837, and on February
5, 1844, he was appointed district attorney for the Seventh Judicial
District of the Republic of Texasqv by Sam Houston.qv Young was a member of
Edward H. Tarrant'sqv company on an expedition against Indians, participated
in the battle of Village Creek,qv and helped bury John B. Denton,qv who was
killed in that engagement. Later Young was a delegate from Red River County
to the Convention of 1845.qv On the outbreak of the Mexican Warqv he and
James Bourlandqv raised a company of troops that they marched to San
Antonio. In 1851 Young moved to Shawneetown, Grayson County, where he
practiced law for six years and served a term as United States marshal. In
1854 he and Charles S. Taylorqv were appointed commissioners to investigate
land titles in El Paso, Presidio, Kinney, Starr, Webb, Hidalgo, Cameron, and
Nueces counties. Young, however, refused the appointment. At the outbreak of
the Civil Warqv Young was called to Montgomery, Alabama, to consult with
Jefferson Davis.qv Upon his return to Texas he organized and commanded the
Eleventh Texas Cavalry, which operated against the Indians in what is now
Oklahoma. In May 1861 the Texans crossed Red River and captured forts
Arbuckle, Wichita, and Cobb. At Fort Arbuckle the Cherokee Indians were
divided, some of them entering the Confederate Army and others supporting
the Union. Because his health was impaired, Young had to return to his home,
then in Cooke County, Texas. There had gathered in the cane brakes along Red
River north of his home a gang of bandits who owed allegiance to neither the
Union nor the Confederate governments but preyed on either side without
distinction, killing and robbing for loot. While Colonel Young was hunting
for a friend who had been killed by this gang, he was himself murdered, on
October 16, 1862. His son, James D. Young, following the trail of the
assassins, located one of them in the Confederate Army. At the point of a
pistol he forced this man to accompany him to the scene of the murder and
had him hanged by his father's slaves. Young's first wife was Sophia Gleaves
Thomas, with whom he had six children. After her death in 1849 he married
Ann Hutchinson, and they had two children. With his third wife, Mrs.
Margaret Ann Duty Black, he also had two children. Young County was named
for William Cocke Young in 1856.
