C Company

Men from Grainger County

"The rapid development of Morristown was interrupted in early April 1861 when the first shots of the war were fired at Fort Sumpter. The Morristown Town Council had scheduled a meeting to discuss an upcoming election. The meeting was never held and the city's charter lapsed. By early May, Confederate troops were being transported through Morristown on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. Posters urging "Freedmen of Tennessee" to join an infantry company and defend the Confederacy appeared in Morristown. Captain Steven Cocke quickly raised a company of 100 volunteers that became Company C of the 37th Tennessee Infantry. In June 1861, the "Religious Intelligencer," a Morristown weekly newspaper, ceased publication." from The Civil War and Morristown.
