Kevin, Thanks; yes I have visited Pea Creek; as for my connectuion: I do not have blood-connections w/ any of the SE Ala Confederates, but I do consider them to be a part of my very large Alabama Confederate Family of more than 180,000. Thanks, Deo Vindice, Homer

Prisons, Paroles & POWs Prisoner Hostages "Retaliation" Throughout the war, the Union and the Confederacy occasionally held prisoners of war as hostages sentenced to death in retaliation for some action taken by the other side. At the beginning of the war, the Confederate privateers Jefferson Davis and Savannah were captured, and the United States sentenced the officers and crew to be executed for piracy, even though international law considered privateering legal during time of war. The Confederacy retaliated by selecting the same number of Union prisoners, officers of the highest rank, from Castle Pinckney prison in Charleston Harbor, and placing them in close confinement, sentenced to death. When two Rebel officers in Kentucky were executed by federal forces for spying, the Confederate government chose two Union officers from Libby Prison and sentenced them to the same fate. The United States promptly notified Richmond that it held Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's son, Gen. W.H.F. "Rooney" Lee, prisoner and would hang him if the sentence against the Libby prisoners was carried out. Outraged that Union forces at Charleston Harbor had bombed the civilian population of Charleston, the Rebel commander notified his Yankee counterpart that 50 Union prisoners had been taken from their cells and placed in a part of the city that frequently received the federal fire. The United States retaliated by selecting 50 high-ranking Confederate prisoners and placing them in exposed positions on the gunboats at Charleston, where they could be hit by fire from the Rebel batteries. These examples of hostage taking ended with an exchange of prisoners, but not all hostages were so fortunate. When Gen. Ulysses S. Grant ordered that Col. John S. Mosby's partisans be hanged when captured, seven were executed. In turn, Mosby had his Union prisoners select seven from among their ranks- and had them executed. Fascinating Fact: After the Fort Pillow massacre, President Abraham Lincoln drafted an order to seize Confederate hostages in retaliation. He never signed the order.

Prisons, Paroles & POWs Elmira Prison "Hellmira" Almost 25 percent of the 12,123 Confederate soldiers who entered the 40-acre prisoner of war camp at Elmira, NY, died. This death rate was more than double the average death rate in other Northern prison camps, and only 2 percent less than the death rate at the infamous Southern prison at Andersonville, GA. The deaths at Elmira were caused by diseases brought on by terrible living conditions and starvation, conditions deliberately caused by the vindictive U.S. commissary-general of prisoners, Col. William Hoffman. The conditions were inexcusable; the North had more than enough food and materials for its armies, population, and prisoners. A stockade was built around an unused Union army training camp to create Elmira Prison in June 1864. The prison contained 35 barracks and was intended to house as many as 5,000 prisoners. On July 6 the first 400 arrived, and by the end of the month there were more than 4,400 prisoners, with more on the way. By the end of August almost 10,000 men were confined there, many of them sleeping in the open in tattered clothes and without blankets. On August 18, in retaliation for the conditions in Southern prison camps, Colonel Hoffman ordered that rations for the prisoners be reduced to bread and water. The overcrowded conditions ensured that any disease introduced to the malnourished population would spread rapidly. Without meat or vegetables, the prisoners quickly succumbed to scurvy, with 1,870 cases reported by September 11. The scurvy was followed by an epidemic of diarrhea, then pneumonia and smallpox. By the end of the year, 1,264 prisoners had died, and survivors had nicknamed the prison "Hellmira". The winter was bitterly cold, but when Southern families sent clothes for the prisoners, Hoffman would only allow items that were gray to be distributed. Clothes in other colors were burned while the sons and husbands for whom they were intended literally froze to death. By the end of the war, 2,963 Elmira prisoners were dead. Fascinating Fact: Before resigning to avoid court-martial for his criminal treatment of sick prisoners, the chief surgeon at Elmira was overheard boasting that he had killed more Rebels than any Union soldier.

Director, Brown Publishing Co, Montgomery, AL, 1907 p. 18/19 State Executive Offices, Railroad Commission, President CHARLES HENDERSON, of Troy, was born at Henderson, Pike county, April 26, 1856, and is the son of Jeremiah Augustus and Mildred (Hill) Henderson, and the grandson of James Eli Henderson and of Wm. Murray and Martha (Ward) Hill (of Burke county, Ga and Pike county, Ala) and great-grandson of Nathaniel Henderson, who early removed from North Carolina to Clarke county, Ga. Wm. Murray Hill served in the Mexican War, and enlisted in the War of Secession, but was relieved on account of his health. Jeremiah A. Henderson was a delegate from Pike county in the Alabama secession convention in 1861, and later served as a member of Capt. A.P. Love's Co in the Jeff Davis Legion. Charles Henderson was educated in the common schools of Pike county, and in Howard College, but he did not graduate. Leaving college on the death of his father, he did not return. He is a merchant and a banker. He has served as mayor of Troy six terms, 1886 to 1891, and 1901 to 1906. He was assistant inspector general on Gov Wm. J. Samford's staff and aid on the staff of Gov Wm. D. Jelks. Mr. Henderson is a Democrat, a Mason, and a Knight Templar. In 1906, he was nominated as one of the candidates for the Railroad Commission. At Raleigh, N.C. Nov 7, 1888 he was married to Laura, daughter of Thomas Anthony and Sara (Dowtin) Montgomery.

Margie, Do you know of any Glovers that were "Little People"? I have a photo of them that was in my grandmother's trunk. I would be very happy to share it with you.

I am trying to find out when William E. Glover married Martha Jaminson. I find them on the census reports for Dale County in 1870 and 1880 on the 1900 report William is dead and Margtha is living with her daughter Virginia Davis in Geneva County. Thanks, Margie CC Barbour County, Geneva County Al.
