A couple of years ago I purchased a copy of the Curry Notes you deposited at the Filson Club. They have been extremely helpful in my own researches. Thank you. What confuses me about Hugh Curry's Civil War record is whether he served under John Morgan and Basil Duke before or after he was a prisoner of war. According to my info he enlisted in 1861 (C Company, 5 KY Mounted Infantry)and was captured the same year in Bullitt County, sent to Camp Chase, then Johnson Island, then Vicksburg in 1862 for exchange. But my grt-aunt insisted that he participated in Morgan's Raid which was in 1863. Did he re-enlist? She also told me that he was arrested with George Prentice's son Clarence and both were charged with espionage. Prentice wrote Lincoln begging him to pardon his son and Lincoln did so. This really did happen to Clarence Prentice (I believe in 1862) but I don't know if Hugh was involved. I double-checked the story about hiding from the feds, and the version I heard (again from my grt-aunt) was that Hugh hid under Docia's bed while his compatriot hid in the chimney. The feds left but both men were apprehended later. Did one of Hugh's brothers serve in the war? If so, do you know which one? I think we have the same photographs of John W. Curry, Theodocia, and Mary Ann. I also have several pictures of Hugh's brother Andrew. I was very pleased to discover the new stone for John W. & Theodocia Curry at Cave Hill a few years ago. I wondered where it came from. Thank you for your efforts to honor and remember our family. Best, SLJones Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
