14TH A. C. AT SHOAL CREEK
CHURCH
Aug. 29, 1864. The 10th Mich. reg't,
in advance of Davis' 14th A. C. [US], enroute from Red Oak to
Jonesboro, encountered Armstrong's & Martin's cav. [CS] posted
at the church, where a spirited delaying action forced the 10th
to withdraw.
Aug. 30. The 14th A. C. advanced
to the Church & after a brief halt, moved in 2 columns to
the Fayetteville Rd.; Baird's div. marched N. E. to the Marcus
Long house, then S. to Couch's (at Riverdale on State Highway
139). Morgan's & Carlin's divs. moved S. E. on a winding
road to the Evans farm (also at Riverdale) where all were aligned
along the old Fayetteville Rd.
