- Alexander Travis Hawthorn
Alexander Travis Hawthorn (January 10, 1825 – May 31, 1899) was a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.
Alexander T. Hawthorn was born near Evergreen, Conecuh County, Alabama. He attended Evergreen Academy and Mercer University. He studied law at Yale University in 1846 and 1847. After leaving Yale, he relocated to Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas, and opened a law practice.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Hawthorn organized the 6th Arkansas Infantry Regiment and was elected lieutenant colonel. By 1862 he had advanced to colonel of the regiment. Hawthorn led the 6th during the Battle of Shiloh. Hawthorn was not reelected after 6th Arkansas was reorganized and he was reassigned to the Trans-Mississippi Department and returned to Arkansas.
On February 28, 1864, Hawthorn received his commission as a brigadier general. He participated in the Arkansas portion of the Red River Campaign and commanded his brigade at the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry under General Thomas James Churchill.
After the war, Hawthorn emigrated to Brazil but moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1874 and established a career in business. In 1880 Hawthorn was ordained into the Baptist ministry and thereafter moved to Dallas, Texas.
Hawthorn died in Dallas, Texas, and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Marshall, Harrison County, Texas.
