At the age of 22 he came in contact with Selucieus Garfield, a cousin to James A. Garfield, who was campaigning in Kentucky for Buchanan in 1856. Garfield was appointed by Buchanan receiver of the land office at Olympia, Washington Territory and he named young Cunningham his assistant. Mr. Cunningham resided at Olympia for a year and then returned to Washington, D. C., expecting the appointment of superintendent of Indian Affairs for Oregon and Washington, but Congress failed to pass, the necessary legislation. Mr. Cunningham them entered Bethany College, Virginia, remaining there about two years. With four other young students in this institution young Cunningham founded the Delta Tau Delta fraternity which is now one of the leading college fraternities of the country. In 1862 Mr. Cunningham joined the confederate army and was appointed one of the revenue commissioners for Kentucky with the military rank of captain. When Kentucky fell to the federalists, Capt. Cunningham became a member of General Morgan's command, participating in the famous Morgan Raid, was wounded, captured and confined in the military prison at Columbus, Ohio. Before the end of the war he took the oath of allegiance, was released and settled in Ohio http://www.darientel.net/~studdard/WBTS-POW.htm http://www.cohums.ohio-state.edu/history/Old_Columbus/original.htm http://www.obcgs.com/military_h-l.html http://www.pitt.edu/~ccrr/ji/jihist.htm http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/database/civilwar.html http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/statearc/agencies/adj_gen.html http://members.aol.com/Ninthga/index15.html http://www.accessgenealogy.com/ohio/index.htm http://imagin.net/~tracers/prison_campchase.htm http://www.civilwarhome.com/campchase.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rayholt/CrowFamily/crow0001.htm http://www.iwaynet.net/~lsci/Rbpaper.htm http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Unp4c5.htm http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Untitle.htm http://home.columbus.rr.com/oregonco/fristoe4.htm -----Original Message----- From: JK3761@aol.com [mailto:JK3761@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 5:44 PM To: IL-CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IL-CIVIL-WAR] Larceny Thanks, yes, I have seen that.
