    "This trio spans generations of soldiers with connections to the northwestern Tennessee town of Paris. The grand old man of the group is Powhattan Perkins Pullen. Born in Tennessee and known as “Tan” to his friends, he served in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry (Col. Thomas G. Woodward) from 1862 to 1865. Captured at Cleveland, Tenn., on Nov. 6, 1863, Pullen spent the rest of the war in captivity at Rock Island, Ill., He gained his release on May 28, 1865, after he swore the oath of allegiance to the United States. Active in veteran’s affairs, he lived until 1933. David Ferrell Quillin (1877-1953), seated left, served during the Spanish-American War as a private and corporal in Company D and G of the 1st Tennessee Infantry. John Luke Browning (1894-1968) served two tours of duty overseas during World War I, as evidenced by his chevrons." militaryimages.atavist.com/blue-gray-and-khaki-autumn-2017
