Phillip's Legion
Roster
Phillip's Georgia Legion was organized during the summer of 1861 and mustered into Confederate service that fall. Like almost all Confederate Legions, the unit contained a number of infantry companies, a number of cavalry companies and a battery of light artillery. It had originally been thought that legions would operate with all three arms of the service together ( similar to the Combat Team of the Second World War), but it was soon found that the unit was more efficient with its elements detached. Supply and logistics problem for legions with their elements operating together proved impossible to solve. Phillip's Georgia Legion served with its elements detached from each other after July of 1862 .
Phillip's Georgia Legion's Cavalry Battalion was organized in 1861 with four companies (G,H,I & K). It was expanded during the spring of 1862 with the addition of two newly recruited companies (N & P). It served as a six company battalion until September, 1864, when the unit's strength was brought up to ten companies. This was accomplished by consolidating the Fourth Alabama Cavalry Battalion with the unit. (Technically, under Confederate War Department regulations, the unit should have received a Confederate States designation once it contained companies from more than one state. There is no record of such a step being taken.)
The Phillip's Legion's Infantry Battalion formed the infantry component of this Georgia unit. As originally organized in 1861 the Legion contained six infantry companies (A -F) and four Cavalry companies. During the spring of 1862, three new infantry companies, L,M and O, were recruited in Cobb and Bartow counties and added to the infantry Battalion. These nine companies, retaining their original company designations, served throughout the remainder of the war. Like almost all Civil War Legions, the infantry and cavalry battalions of the unit were separated fairly early in the war. In the case of The Phillips Legion this separation occurred in late 1862.
The Legion started out in 1861 with six infantry companies (lettered A-F) and 4 cavalry companies (these were lettered G, H, I & K). When the Legion was expanded in April and May of 1862, three infantry companies were added (L, M & O) and two additional cavalry companies (N & P). It appears that the companies got lettered in the order they mustered in (i.e. two infantry companies L&M, a cavalry company N, another infantry company O, and a final cavalry company P.) At some point in their existence they converted their company designations as follows...........
G became A
H became B
I became C
K became D
N became E
P became F
In addition a "spare" (11th) company in the Cobb Legion Cavalry was moved over into the Phillips Legion Cavalry and was lettered Company G and known as the "Richmond

Apon being mustered into Confederate service the unit was assigned to duty in the Department of Georgia. This command was subsequently enlarged and renamed the Department of South Georgia, Georgia, and Florida. In the late summer of 1862 Phillip's Legion was transferred to Virginia and assigned to the Cavalry Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. It served in that Army until the final winter of the war. Moved into the Carolinas in January 1865, the unit ended its career attached to the Army of Tennessee.

According to records found at the National Archives 254 officers and men surrendered with the unit at Greensboro, North Carolina in late April 1865.
Shortly after being mustered into Confederate service at Lynchburg, Va. on August 9th 1861, the unit was ordered into the mountains of western Virginia (today's West Virginia) to serve in the Army of the Kanawha under General John B. Floyd. The unit endured brutal winter weather and disease until December 16, 1861 when it was ordered to South Carolina. The unit, now expanded with the addition of companies L, M & O, next served in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In July of 1862 the Battalion returned to Virginia as part of Thomas Drayton's mixed Georgia, South Carolina brigade, joining the Army of Northern Virginia. It was reassigned to General T R R Cobb's Georgia brigade in November of 1862 and continued to serve with the ANV until the late summer of 1863 when it was moved west to Georgia along with two divisions of Longstreet's Corps, serving in the Army of Tennessee at Chattanooga and later in the Department of East Tennessee during the Knoxville campaign. Returned to Virginia in April of 1864, the unit again served in the Army of Northern Virginia. In August of 1864, the unit joined the Army of the Valley District where it served in the Shenandoah Valley until November, 1864. Once again returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, the Battalion served in that Army for the duration of the war.

Phillips Legion Infantry - Co F - The Lochrane Guards
See flag description on Infantry Battalion page.
The following article appeared in the August 31st, 1861
edition of the Macon Daily Telegraph and explains the
unique origins and nature of this company.
The Lochrane Guards
This noble band of patriots, all natives of the "Emerald
Isle", under their worthy Captain, Jackson Barnes, full
80 strong, departed on yesterday morning, by the Macon
and Western Railroad for Virginia. A large concourse of
our citizens assembled at the depot to bid them farewell
and wish them a safe return when the war is ended and
peace declared; and as the train moved off, cheer after
cheer went up for the gallant and the brave.
"There were sad hearts in many a home, When the brave
left their bower; But the strength of prayer and
sacrifice Was with them in that hour."
Colonel Lochrane accompanied them. They expect to receive
recruits at Atlanta, Calhoun, Dalton and other cities
sufficient to increase their numbers to one hundred men,
exclusive of officers. We are confident the warm hearted
and generous sons of "Green Erin" will acquit themselves
like men. They are adopted citizens it is true, but yield
to none in devotion and love to the South - the sunny
home of their choice. Irishmen naturally spurn wrong and
oppresssion, and he who is found fighting against the
South does grave injustice to the Celtic race. The
members of the Lochrane Guards are,
"No hirelings trained to the fight But men, firm as the
mountains who will Pour out their life blood like rain,
And come back in triumph and honor, or come not again."
It simply was not to be for this ill-starred company of
the Legion. Although losing only eight men in battlefield
related deaths, three men to disease and having another
eight men disabled by wounds, they had significant
attrition from other causes. Thirteen men are discharged
for various health reasons. The officers had either
resigned, died or been captured by the end of 1863.
Thirteen men were captured in the fiasco at Fort Sanders,
Knoxville on 11/29/1863 and are sent off to Rock Island.
Once there, five join the U S Army and go west to fight
Indians while one joins the U S Navy! Seven men are
clearly labeled deserters while eleven more simply
disappear from the records. There are only four privates
and a Sgt left as the Legion left Richmond in early April
1865 and headed west with the rest of the Army of
Northern Virginia. Three of these were captured with most
of the Legion at Sailors Creek on 4/6/1865. Only 1st Sgt
R P Oneill and Private John Sweeney are still in ranks to
surrender at Appomattox on 4/9/1865.

Captured at Gettysburg 7/3/1863 and imprisoned at
Johnsons Island until released 5/12/1865, Age 26,
Interesting document in his record shows that he applied
to take the Oath of Allegiance for release in December
1864, This statement reads "Was born in Ireland and went
to Savannah, Ga. in 1858 and was employed as a printer in
the Savannah Morning News office at the commencement of
the war. Voluntarily joined the C S Army in July 1862
(sic) as a private in which capacity he served about five
months when the company elected him 2nd Lt. Served as
such until December 1862 when he was promoted 1st Lt.
Says that when the army fell back from the field of
Gettysburg he concealed himself among some rocks for the
purpose of giving himself up to the Federals which he
done to the first ones he saw; that he wishes to take the
Oath of Amnesty because he is tired of the C S service
and does not wish to fight for the South any longer; that
all his relatives reside in Ireland and he wishes to go
there. Says he has one brother in the South who is under
British protection; that he could have had the same
protection had he waited longer before entering the Army.
Is twenty five years of age." Obviously, his request was
not acted upon as he was not released until after the war
had ended. Compiled by Kurt Graham
The Lochrane Guards from Macon (Co F, Phillips Legion Infantry Battalion) saw action manning the stone wall at Fredericksburg in December 1862
