My daughter made her first solo genealogy trip to the McClung Collection at the East Tennessee Historical Center to help in the search for Daniel Atchley. I had sent her a copy of the East Arkansas land grant of a Daniel Atchley in 1825 (there was also one for Joseph Atchley in 1825). That Daniel was supposedly in the 7th regiment. I wanted to know if he was our East Tennessee Daniel Atchley. I had previously found a Daniel in the 24th regiment, but no identifying data. She found that the 7th regiment was based out of Eddyville Kentucky (how's that for a coincidence - that's where MY family is from), and found no Daniel Atchley in that regiment, but she found information on the Daniel Atchley (and Joseph) who was in the 24th regiment:
From "Virginia Soldiers in the United States Army 1800 - 1815" by Stuart Lee Butler; Iberian Publishing Comopany, Athens, Georgia:
Atchley, Daniel; 24th Inf. [24] {farmer} b. Botetourt; enl. on 6/10/13; dis. Fort Gadsden FL 6/8/18
Atchley, Joshua or Joseph; 24th inf. [20/23] {farmer} b. Roanoke Co.; enl. on 6/28/13; dis. Fort Gadsden FL 6/20/18 *
