All, An interesting story about civil war feelings is told from my mother's side of the family, MCDANIEL's. Cullen McDaniel, of Fayette county (Father was Albrittain McDaniel) did not believe in the Civil War, and moved to Arkansas to escape the battle. I believe that he joined the Arkansas Peace Movement, but regardless, he was tracked down by Rebel "bushwhackers". He, and two of his sons were burned alive in his house. The bushwhackers raped one of the daughters, the other escaped. Cullen's wife was never found, and was believed killed also by the bushwhachers. All of Cullen's brothers served in the war, some as young as 14. His children never returned to Alabama, and were raised by friends in YELL county, alabama. You can read about this in more detail on my page at http://catlin.clas.virginia.edu/mikell under the McDaniel genealogy and the mirror site at http://www.people.virginia.edu/ehm4m It is interesting to do a search on the Arkansas Peace Movement as well. Some of the orginal death orders still exist, and are kept in the archives..... Eddie Mikell
