Hello Everyone, I was just poling around ebay and seen an old photo named "Samuel K. Rhorer of the 3rd KY. Infantry" I know there are several Civil War researchers on the list so i thought i'd ask them is he from the 3rd KY CSA from this area? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=409&item=6167819032&rd=1 Don Howell
