Obituary:
Allison, Uriah S (Col.)Died at his residence in Roane County, Tenn., on the 18th inst., Col. Uriah S. Allison, in the 47th year of his age, formerly of the 24th US Army; a man whose character as a patriot, a citizen, and a soldier, needs no eulogium.  He was a native of Roane County in this state, entered the Army in 1812 as a lieutenant and was promoted to captaincy  He remained in the Army during the war; and besides performing other important services, recruited at different periods, and marched to the Canadian frontier, two companies of troops from his native state.  As an officer, he was loved and respected by his companions in arms, and as a disciplinarian, he may have had equals, but no superior.  After the conclusion of the war he resigned his commission; military inactivity did not comfort with either his disposition or his genius, and he returned to the circle of friends.  His remains were interred at the Presbyterian Church in Kingston on the 19th at 12 o'clock, accompanied by his relatives and a numerous concourse of friends.  He has left a wife and three female children. The Knoxville Register, Wednesday, 27 May 1829, Vol XIII, No. 666.

Uriah married Nancy Clark Cox on 29 Jan 1820 in Kingston, Roane, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
