Anthony Mills enlisted as a Corporal on 29 Aug 1861 in Company I of the 7th Kentucky Infantry Regiment at Flat Lick, Knox County, Kentucky when he was 32 years of age. His cousin, Nasby Mills had enlisted on 25 Aug and his brothers, Henry and John Mills enlisted on 5 Sep 1861. All were mustered in on 22 Sep 1861 at Camp Dick Robinson.
Anthony served with his company until 2 Apr 1863 when he was left in the hospital at Millikens Bend, Louisiana. Anthony was sent to the hospital at Schofield Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri where he received treatment until being returned to his regiment in Sepember 1863. Anthony was promoted to 1st Corporal on 14 May 1864 and was mustered out with the regiment on 5 Oct 1864 at Louisville, Kentucky and was due a $100.00 bounty.
The 7th Kentucky Infantry was organized at Camp Dick Robinson and mustered in for a three year enlistment on September 22, 1861. It was mustered in as the 3rd Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Infantry under the command of Colonel Theophilus Toulmin Garrard. Another regiment was also mustered in as the 3rd Kentucky Infantry, so the designation was changed. Despite the change, members of the regiment continued to refer to it as the 3rd Kentucky Infantry or âOld 3rdâ well into 1863. The regiment was recruited in Clay, Knox, Laurel, Owsley (including what is now Lee), and Whitley counties.
The regiment was attached to Thomasâ Command, Army of the Ohio, to January 1862. 12th Brigade, 1st Division, Army of the Ohio, to March 1862. 24thBrigade, 7thDivision, Army of the Ohio, to October 1862. 3rd Brigade, District of West Virginia, Department of the Ohio, to November, 1862. 2ndBrigade, 9thDivision, Right Wing, XIII Corps (Old), Department of the Tennessee, to December 1862. 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, Shermanâs Yazoo Expedition, to January 1863. 2nd Brigade, 9th Division, XIII Corps, Army of the Tennessee, to February 1863. 1st Brigade, 9th Division, XIII Corps, to July 1863. 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, XIII Corps, Department of the Tennessee, to August 1863, and Department of the Gulf to November 1863. Plaquemine, District of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Department of the Gulf, to March 1864, 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, XIII Corps, to June 1864. 1stBrigade, 3rd Division, XIX Corps, to December 1864. District of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to April 1865. Provisional Brigade, District of Baton Rouge, Department of the Gulf, to March 1866.
While at Cumberland Gap, supplies ran desperately low. General George W. Morgan ordered a handpicked detachment of 400 men be mounted on artillery and supply wagon horses, and move toward Lexington, Kentucky to obtain supplies. Colonel Garrard was with these men at a small skirmish at the mouth of Bear Creek. Garrard then left the detachment in the command of Major Isaac N. Cardwell. These men rode into the Battle of Richmond, and were scattered by a rear attack from Scottâs Louisiana Cavalry. Some returned to their homes in eastern Kentucky, others rejoined the army at Cumberland Gap, and a small number retreated with the Union forces to Lexington and then to Louisville. Enough men remained to form one company from the 7th Kentucky, one company from the 32ndKentucky, and one company from the 3rd Tennessee to form Garrardâs Detachment at Louisville. (Garrard joined the shattered remains of General William âBullâ Nelsonâs army at Louisville.) Many men of the 7th Kentucky were captured and paroled at Richmond, and ordered to report to Cincinnati to await exchange.
The 7th Kentucky Infantry mustered out of service in Louisville, Kentucky on October 5, 1864. On December 24, 1864, veterans of the 7th Kentucky, 19thKentucky Infantry, and 22nd Kentucky Infantry who reenlisted were organized with new recruits as the 7th Kentucky Veteran Volunteer Infantry in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It spent the majority of service on garrison duty in Baton Rouge, and mustered out on March 11, 1866.
