Pat,

I found this bit of information about Gillem's Station,Dickson County,Tennessee. Union Civil War era military reports list Gillem's Station (section 51) being attacked by Guerrillas. A small skirmish(1862) at "Irish Shanty"
located near the current Tennessee City,Dickson Co., between
local Guerrillas and Union soldiers. Soldiers guarded R.R. trestle at Gillem's Station.

Link to website contaning old (Civil War era) photo of trestle at Gillem's Station;
