Private. On detached service since Oct. 17, 1846, by order of Colonel

Lieutenant SAMUEL L. GULLEY, JOHN D. LEE, and HOWARD EGAN, who carried
the checks the brethren were sending home to their families. He

GEORGE WILSON, Private. On detached service since
Nov. 10, 1846, by Battalion Order No. 16. Mustered out with detachment,
to date July 16, 1847
THOMAS WOOLSEY, Private. On detached service since
Oct. 17, 1846, by order of Colonel Doniphan, Commanding Army of the
West. Mustered out with detachment, to date July 16, 1847. According to
Tyler’s History, WOOLSEY was detached, with CAPTAIN HIGGINS’ party,
Sept. 17, 1846, and he also tells the story about how WOOLSEY and JOHN
H. TIPPETTS made a trip back to winter quarters on the Missouri River.
(See JOHN H. TIPPETTS, Company D) He also gives WOOLSEY’s name as one
of Lieutenant WILLIS’ sick detachment, which agrees with the Official
Roll. The explanation probably is that some of Captain HIGGINS’ party
returned to the Battalion at Santa Fe, after their arrival at Pueblo.
This hypothesis has some support from the clause in Lieutenant Colonel
P. ST. GEORGE COOKE’s Journal, in which, writing at Santa Fe Oct. 13th,
he says: ‘Captain HIGGINS was ordered to join the Battalion with his
party.’ It does not appear that HIGGINS did return to the Battalion
before its departure for California, but some of his men might have
done so.
DISCHARGED:
JOHN ALLEN, Private. Drummed out of service by
sentence of General Courtmartial, May 28, 1847. The ‘Church
Encyclopedia’ in Historical record, Vol. VIII page 942, contains this
item: ‘JOHN ALLEN, a non-Mormon, who was drummed out of service in the
Mormon Battalion.’
*** On Tyler’s list the following names appear which are not on the
Muster Roll: GEORGE ALLEN, JUSTICE C. EARLE, JOHN FINDLAY, ISRAEL
HARRISON, WILLIAM HOWELL, ?? ROLLINS, L. RICHARDS, JAMES R. SCOTT, JOHN
SNYDER, ELISHA SMITH, JOHN SMITH.
It will be noted that on the Muster Roll five
names appear that are not on Tyler’s list, namely: BATES, BEDDOME,
JOSEPH CLARK, DAVIS and FAUNEY. The Recapitulation and Certificates
were not filled out on the Roll of this Company furnished us.
SERVANTS TO OFFICERS
The following names of young men and boys, who served as servants to
officers in the Mormon Battalion, were sent in to DANIEL TYLER for
publication in his History of the Battalion. He says they were mostly
too young to be received as soldiers, but that they are entitled to
much praise for their youthful patriotism and bravery. There were
probably others whose names were not given:
CHARLES EDWIN COLTON, servant to ADJUTANT P.C.
MERRILL
