| | The 47th Tennessee Infantry Regiment - CSA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | The 47th was a West Tennessee organization, organized at Camp Trenton, Gibson County, December 16, 1861, from 10 companies which had been enrolled during November and December, 1861. |
 | | No reports of its activity were found, but the West Tennessee Whig, of Jackson, Tennessee, dated April 25, 1862, published a list of casualties from the 47th Regiment in the Battle of Shiloh totaling five killed, sixty-one wounded, and one missing, so the regiment must have done some fighting after its arrival. |
 | | From Richmond it marched to Lexington, Paris, Cynthiana, Frankfort, to Mays Pond, 30 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio; to Shelbyville, 28 miles from Louisville, Kentucky; to Perryville, where it was present at, but not engaged in, the battle fought at that place on October 8, 1862. |
