William Trousdale In Florida

 

Source (LOC) Pensacola (1815)

The regiment to which he belonged joined General Jackson early in November, 1814, and, on the 6th day of that month the army moved against Pensacola, Florida... . On the day following the town was stormed and taken. While the fight was progressing in the streets the advance of our troops was checked at one point by a gun which raked a street, dealing death in its ranks.  In this emergency, William Trousdale, with several other daring spirits, rushed rapidly forward in the face of the enemy's fire, drove the gunners from the deadly piece, captured it, and thus removed the obstacle which had stopped the progress of our men.

...the 2d regiment, under the command of Colonel Trousdale, advanced to attack the Indian and negro settlements in that vicinity. They found all the towns abandoned, and discovered large trails of the enemy leading to the east and northeast. A negro, captured in one of the houses, reported that they had fled to the Wahoo swamp. The Tennesseans burnt three large towns, which were built of hewn logs, and appeared to have been constructed during the last spring and summer.  (Source)

Headquarters, Fort Drane, October 19, 1836. 

Sir : I had the honor, on the 10th inst., to inform you of my contemplated march to the Withlacoochie. 

On the evening before my arrival, Colonel Randall, the adjutant and inspector general, was ordered, with Major Upshan, of the Tennessee brigade,- to advance with the spies under command of Captains Lauderdale and Wilson, and the front guard under command of Colonel Trousdale, and select an encampment about four miles from the river. In the performance of this duty, they surprised a party of the enemy, killed ten warriors, and captured eleven women and children.

David H. Roark's entry at Wikitree here.

Also see an article about Lawler and the Mexican War (excerpt below):

"After being mustered out, Lawler traveled to Washington... . Once back in the county he raised a second unit, an independent company of mounted troops that called themselves the 'Mamaluke Legion."'

"Lawler's company traveled by river again and boarded the steamers Fashion and Major Tompkins at Baton Rouge and proceeded to Vera Cruz. Upon arriving in Mexico, Lawler's company engaged in scouting duty for the Department of Tampico with the mission of harassing the Mexican guerillas and keeping open the road from the Gulf of Mexico to Mexico City. Sometime prior to Dec. 10, 1847, Lawler's men skirmished with Mexican cavalry at Horcasitas.  Lawler's company continued their activity for most of 1848, not returning home until the fall."

Lawler's Company of Dragoons (also known as the Third Independent Company of Illinois Volunteers) included Roark, David H., Private.

"Captain Cameron Canadian Regiment has purchased Bart's farm near the head of the Island for 456 pounds cash.  He intends to take up his residence there soon, and I believe your father and family is to pass this year with him. Stonlia [Stronlia?] arrived here just after your departure.  He is gone on the same farm in Carrieau which Paul occupied and to remain there until he has time to look about him."

"I have had an addition to my family of a little boy since your departure.  I need not give you much news as Mrs. Cameron has frequently written to you.  She and Mrs. McMillan join me in affectionate compliments...".

Arch. McMillan
