!Tennesseans in the Civil War - A Military History of Confederate and Union Units with available Rosters of Personnel, Part 1; The Civil War Centennial Commission, Nashville, TN, 1964; pg 16-17: "FORREST'S ESCORT...This company was recruited at the instance of Nathan Bedford Forrest shortly subsequent to his promotion to brigadier general, by Captain Montgomery Little, a native of Bedford County who had been, before the war, a planter and business man in Memphis. It was made up mainly of men from Bedford Co., a part of which is now Moore Co., who were assembled in Shelbyville in September and moved from there to Murfreesboro just before the town was temporarily occupied by a Federal raiding force....After taking part in the demonstration against Nashville on November 6, they moved with Forrest to his West Tennessee Raid, and from there to the frequent fighting around Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, where Little was killed."
Montgomery Little also died intestate and court records list his brothers and sisters as his heirs.
