War of 1812: Bowling’s Detachment
Etheldred “Dred” Newbern was a pioneer settler of Old Berrien County, Georgia.
During the War of 1812, while still residing in Bulloch County, GA, Dred Newbern was mustered into a Georgia Volunteer Militia company organized by Peter Cone. In the spring of 1814 Peter Cone’s Company was deployed on the coast of Georgia, first at Savannah then sent with Bowling’s Detachment (reconstructed roster below) to the seaport at Sunbury, GA. Sunbury, and other Georgia ports were then under blockade by the British fleet.
Peter Cone’s Company of Georgia Militia organized at Paramore’s Hill and marched to Savannah where, along with other Georgia militia companies they were mustered into a U.S. Army regiment commanded by Colonel Richard Manning. They were enlisted on March 26, 1814 and issued equipment.
From Manning’s Regiment, a detachment of three companies was formed and placed under the command of Major Robert Bowling. The three companies were led by Captain David Clarke, Captain Roger L. Gamble, and Lieutenant Peter Cone.
Bowling’s Detachment was ordered to March to Sunbury, GA south of Savannah to take up a station on the Midway River for the defense of the town. The maritime trade from Sunbury was threatened by the British frigate HMS Lacedemonian, which was anchored off Cumberland Island. Sunbury residents often saw the Lacedemonian’s armed launches in St. Catherine’s Sound, where they captured and burned American coastal vessels.
