 | | By a curious coincidence, two regiments of Tennessee Infantry, one in West Tennessee, one in East Tennessee, both commanded by a Colonel Bradford, and both called the 31st Tennessee Infantry Regiment were organized at about the same time. |
 | | In June, 1863, the East Tennessee Regiment was officially designated as the 39th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, but prior to that time it was known as W. Bradford's 31st. |
 | | Colonel W. Bradford, in his outline of the regiment in Lindsley's Annals, stated that in the spring of 1864, about half the brigade, under the command of General Vaughn was ordered to the Valley of Virginia, while the other half, under his command, remained in the vicinity of Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia. |
