since Oct. 17, 1846, by order of Colonel Doniphan, Commanding Army of the West.
Mustered out with detachment, to date July 16, 1847. It appears in Tyler’s
History that, on Oct. 19, 1846, ROSWELL STEVENS started for Council Bluffs, in company
with Lieutenant SAMUEL L. GULLEY, JOHN D. LEE, and HOWARD EGAN, who carried the
checks the brethren were sending home to their families. He returned the following
summer with JOHN H. TIPPETTS and others. (See JOHN H. TIPPETTS, Company D). He thus
appears registered among the ‘Pioneers’ of 1847. (‘Mormon Battalion’
Historical record, Vol VIII, pages 916, 920, 939)

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
N. D. HIGGINS, servant to CAPTAIN NELSON HIGGINS
JAMES MOWREY, servant to Lieutenants GEORGE W. ROSECRANS, SAMUEL THOMPSON and
ROBERT CLIFT.
