The unit was organized at Camp Chase for a one year term of service and was immediately ordered to Nashville for garrison duty. By March 21, 1865, they were on the move to Bridgeport, Alabama, where part of the group protected a railroad bridge across the Tennessee River and the others guarded the railroad track between Bridgeport and Chattanoga. By July, they were back on garrison duty until mustered out on September 20, 1865 in Nashville. Wesley served 8 months duty. Wesley was the son of Alexander Smith and Barbara Schillings, according to his death record. In 1872, he married Elizabeth Relue and together they would have six children. The couple settled in Richland Township where they were enumerated on the census from 1880 on until their deaths. Wesley was a house carpenter and his eldest son, George, also followed the trade. In 1909, Elizabeth Relue Smith died of dropsy (edema, congestive heart failure,) so in the 1910 census, Wesley was noted to be widowed and 62 years old. With him were son, George - 32, and daughter, Icie - 18, and a servant, Dillie Sorgenfrei, 22. By 1920, George was listed as the head of household and he had married Tillie. Still in the house were Wesley, 72, still working as a carpenter, and Icie, 25. Just two years later, Wesley died. He was buried near his wife and several children who preceded him in death.
