Defiance Democrat, Defiance, OH - July 4, 1863 Cincinnati, June 25. -- The following dispatch has been received by Gen. Burnside from the expedition sent into East Tennessee. Boston, Ky., June 23. -- I arrived here with my command at eleven o'clock this morning. I struck the railroad near Lenoire -- destroyed the road up to Knoxville -- made demonstration against Knoxville, so as to have the troops drawn from above -- destroyed the tracks and started for Strawberry Plains -- burned State Creek bridge, 325 feet long. I captured thirty-five pieces of artillery, some two hundred boxes of artillery ammunition, over five hundred prisoners, and one thousand stand of arms, destroyed, and a large amount of saltpeter manufactory and other stores. My command is much fatigued. We have had but two nights sleep since leaving Williamsburg. The force in East Tennessee was larger than I had supposed. I did not attack London bridge for reasons that I will explain. At Mossey Creek I determined to return. In the mountains I had very great difficulties that were entirely unexpected. I found the gap through which I intended to return strongly guarded with artillery and infantry and blockaded with fallen timber. A force was also following in our rear. I determined to cross at Smith's Gap which I did. I will report more fully as soon as possible. Very respect'y, your obd't serv't S.P. Saunders Colonel Commanding.

This is just to let anyone that would be interested know that Mary (Hickman) McFarland passed away this morning in Lima, Ohio. She died from injuries that were sustained in an auto accident. She was the daughter of John H. Hickman and Amanda Isabelle Cassada. Her viewing is Sunday from 1 to 4 p. m. at the Cromes Funeral Home in Sidney, Ohio. Funeral is Monday at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Sidney, Ohio. I will post her obit as soon as it is posted in the paper. Gary L.

Defiance Democrat, Defiance, OH - Feb. 15, 1862 Somerset, Ky., January 23, 1862. I presume you are anxious to hear whether I am yet among the living. I am not only alive, but well as usual. Last Thursday evening, I was summoned to head quarters to report the condition of my branch of the Brigade. The report was satisfactory, and I got permission to accompany the Regiments that were to take up their line of march the next morning for Zolly's camp. In the morning, the following Regiments were ordered out: Col. Wolford's Cavalry, Capt. Standart's Battery and also Capt. Hewitt's, the 12th Kentucky, and 1st and 2d Tennessee. They took up their line of march at 9 o'clock; at sundown we were only five miles distant -- on Fishing Creek, and remained there until we got orders from Gen. Thomas (who was encamped about three miles on the other side of the Creek) to march forward. The men had to ford the Creek, which was about three feet deep and a very strong current. The next day Gen. Thomas ordered the following Regiments, from the Camp at Somerset, to ta! ke up the same march. When they got to the Creek, they were ordered back again. Sunday morning, they were ordered to take the same march again. I was ordered back to camp Saturday evening to order a provision train forward. At daylight Sunday, we could hear the booming of cannon. I was ready to start at nine o'clock. The sound of heavy cannonading put extra speed in Barney, and the eight miles were soon passed, although the roads were very rough, and I reached the battle field about thirty minutes after the Battle was over. Barney galloped to the spot where the body of Gen. Zollicoffer lay. His clothes were nearly all stripped off from him, and he was covered with a blanket. I dismounted and took a good look at all that was left of the man that was so much dreaded in Kentucky. He fell by the hand of Col. Fry, of the 4th Kentucky Regiment. The ball entered his left breast, from which wound the blood was slowly running. I asked a Tennessee officer, who was standing n! ear, to lend me his bowie knife; I took it, and parting the hair back of his left ear, cut off a lock, a part of which I here enclose to you. Every one around had a small piece of some of his garments. One gave me this piece of lining of his coat. Barney took a good snuff of him and we left, to see if we could not be of some use to the poor wounded sufferers. After riding a short distance I found that the wounded on our side were well taken care of. I hitched Barney and turned my attention to the poor Secesh; and they needed help -- some wanted water, some begged me to take one of my pistols and put an end to their misery. I got some help, and we put thirteen of them into an old log blacksmith shop, and laid them around as best we could, bandaged up some, bolstered up some arms and legs with leaves the men gathered. I soon got the title of Doctor; some wanted their legs and arms cut off, but I did not have my instruments with me, but told them they would be there in a ! short time. At last the Surgeon came; he was a stranger to me; the wounded still calling me Doctor, insisted on my dressing their wounds. The Surgeon was willing that I should, but I made every excuse, told them I had some of our own men to attend to. They excused me, after assisting to dress two. I took a good survey of the battle-field, and about sundown started after the retreating and pursuing armies, in company with a Tennesean. We had not gone far before we could hear the sound of Cannon again. We increased our speed until his horse nearly gave out, and I had to slacken Barney's rapid gate. Night came on, and very dark -- the cannon had ceased their glorious sound. At my friend's suggestion, we went a short distance from the road to a house, where we put up for the night. We got dinner and supper together, a mile and a half from Zolly's Winter quarters. At break of day, we were in our saddle, and passed the 4th Ohio Regiment that had marched all night. At d! aylight the music of the cannon commenced. I thought there would be a chance for some fun, but it was not for us -- the rebels had reached their fortifications before dark. The cannon the night before was endeavoring to sink their steamboat but could not reach her. The guns in the morning were throwing shells into the camp, to which they got no response. Our Gen. was soon informed that they had crossed the river during the night, and burned the boat. So our army entered their entrenchment's, where were found about 1,200 horses and mules, 500 wagons, a number of work oxen, beef cattle in abundance, 12 cannon and 6 more taken out the river, thousands of bushels of corn, flour, meat, coffee, sugar, &c. Even the private baggage of the officers was left. It was surely a rich harvest for the weary soldiers. But after a short consultation among the officers, the order was that the four mentioned Ohio Regiments, 12th Kentucky, 1st and 2d Tennessee, the Cavalry, the two Batte! ries, and Capt. Kinney's Battery, should return to Somerset. I started at 12 M. and arrived at 4 P.M., the worst road I ever saw -- the Regiment did not arrive until the next day, and nearly all worn out. As for myself, I never felt better, but with regard to my back trip, the road from the camp the battle field was strewn with broken-down wagons, broken guns, blankets, and almost every thing appertaining to an army train. When within about two miles of the battle field, you could see the poor unfortunates stretched on the sides of the road. When I arrived on the field, they had just commence burying the enemy's dead, ours were buried the day before. The field presented a different sight -- nothing was left but the bodies of the Secessionists. The day before the field was strewn with the wounded and dying soldiers, guns, blankets, knapsacks, canteens, &c. Today a part of the prisoners were brought to head quarters, among them is Zollcoffer's Lieut. Colonel. The corps! e of Gen. Zollcoffer and that also of his Colonel are now here; I understand they are to be sent to their fiends. There have been sent to this Brigade, 300 of Zollicoffer's Cavalry horses and saddles, 100 other horses and mules forteams, which will lengthen my rides for the time that they remain here. I will now have to purchase forage for about 1,800 horses and mules. The health of our Regiment is very poor -- there is not at this time over 300 men fit for duty -- many are in the hospital. Col. Bradley is endeavoring to get the Regiment sent back somewhere to recruit. Enough at present. You will hear from me again soon. Affectionately yours, H.C. Bouton.

Hello, I've moved my site, "The Taylors of South-Southeast Kentucky" and upgraded/dated it. The old site will be up for another month or so. In this move, I've done very little updating, but hope to get to that soon. There has been some Harlan Co deaths and deeds info added, as well as I've added new, interesting links. The new link is: www.doodle-bugs.us I did rework the "Support Our Troops" page and hope that you all visit that. If you wish to help out, there are links there that will take you to organizations that give you that chance, as well as links to other tribute type pages. The message board and photos are still there, but as of right now, you can only get to them from links from the front page, so if you go looking for them, there they will be. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather...I'm still waiting on our cicadas! Valorie I hold it up and show my buddies Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy But no one laughs 'cause there ain't nothin' funny when a soldier cries John Michael Montgomery, "Letters From Home"

I updated the Scott Co, TN website tonight with lots of good stuff. Many, many thanks to our many contributors to the website. I want to highlight a couple things. We found 27 marriage records that are not documented anywhere else. The records were found in a building in Scott Co that was recently torn down. The names and dates are transcribed here. I will be adding images of the records during the summer -- after my visit to Scott Co in June. The other item I want to highlight is an addendum, created by Paul Roy, to his book "Scott County in the Civil War". Paul found some additional information that explains the case files he included in Chapter 4 from the book. THis is a must have for those who have a copy of his book.

After a few weeks wait for a response, Naporlee learned from the VA that Carmelo Castorina is buried at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale, N.Y. Unexpectedly, she also learned from VA that her grandmother is buried with him, a privilege extended to veterans' spouses. VA has made it easier and faster for the public to get answers about family history, old war buddies or famous war heroes. The agency put on the Web 3.2 million records for veterans buried at 120 national cemeteries since the Civil War. The VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator, at <A HREF="http://www.cem.va.gov/">http://www.cem.va.gov</A>, also has records for some state veterans cemeteries and burials in Arlington National Cemetery since 1999. Joe Nosari, VA's deputy chief information officer for Memorial Affairs, said the records used to be on paper and microfilm. Private companies have put some of the information online and charged for it, but the VA information is free, he said. Naporlee, of Spokane, Wash., also learned her grandfather served with the Army's 161 DB unit, enlisting June 24, 1918. He was honorably discharged December 17, 1918. The VA's gravesite navigator includes names, dates of birth and death, military service dates, service branch and rank if known, cemetery information and grave location in the cemetery. The VA will withhold some information, such as next of kin, for privacy purposes. The site will be updated daily. Annually, about 80,000 veterans are buried at national cemeteries. The VA also hopes to add records for veterans whose families requested grave markers from the VA. Those markers may go to private cemeteries or cemeteries overseas.

Tim and All, So sorry for you Tim..Been there done that ! As some of you know, I just went a go-around with Virii myself and in the process I discovered some things I didnt know. You can sometimes remove of of those Nasty's using Safe Mode when you bootup. Because your PC has only loaded essential drivers in that mode, the Virii isnt running, and you can zap it from there ! Another trick is to check your MSConfig...type it into your "find" feature, click it when it comes up..look in the Start up tab for suspicious programs and uncheck it...be careful here ..you have to know the programs name so you dont screw things up. If you do get the wrong thing unchecked its reversable..just go back and recheck it. Reboot and the Nasty is isolated and cant run till you can figure out how to get rid of it. The one I got tangeled with was" Popmonster"...and a couple of Adwares at the same time..what a mess ! Running Spybot..a free download from Tucows...got rid of the adware..and Trendmicro's Housecall found the Trojan..but it took a Techy friend to rid my machine ! I wouldnt wish this problem on my worst enemy..so please be careful My Friends ! BJ _________________________________________________________________ All the action. All the drama.

All, I'm sorry to say there will be no update to the Scott Co, TN website for Mar. My computer got hit with a Trojan Horse infection last Friday night that defeated my hardware firewall and Norton Antivirus. Don't worry -- I didn't loose any data. I immediately disconnected my computer from the Internet and I spent several days trying to disinfect my system to no avail. Even spent $30 calling Symantec and talking with one of their experts for a couple hours. Together we could not defeat it. I finally gave up on Thursday morning and reformatted my hard drive. I've been reinstalling software ever since. Once I got my email systems back up (two of them) I started to answer emails. I got 538 emails in less than one week -- that has got to be a record for me. For those "bent" like me, the name of the virus was "Backdoor.Prorat" as cataloged by Symantec. It is written in Delphi (thank-you Borland) - a C++ programming environment and seems to have originated in Turkey. Its great to have NATO allies -- not! The one making the rounds now is a brand new version and significantly enhanced which is why it defeated all attempts to detect and later remove. This thing is too smart. Symantec sent me a program I could use to make a copy of the virus and send to them. As soon as the virus detected what I was up to, it would delete the files I was trying to send Symantec -- even if I tried sending them to someone else first. Fortunately, it was not a destructive virus but it did cause me to change a bunch of account numbers, passwords, etc. Apparently one of you out there has this trojan on your computer or one of the people you correspond with as I received this little surprise in an apparent "JPG" image file from somebody I might have expected to receive a genealogically related image. There is no way to determine who really sent me this fun as email address spoofing is a typical hidding technique. Before you get excited about JPG image files and shut them down. Don't! JPG image files are not executable nor do JPG buffer overflows cause executable code to be run. They just can't be used as vectors for computer viruses.. So how did I get infected with a JPG file. The trojan author calls his infection file something like this: "some image.jpg .scr" "SCR" files are executable. What happens is you double click on the image attachment and your local program asks if you want open the "some image.jpg " file. The dialogue box isn't wide enough to accommodate all 255 characters of an allowable file name. In my case the ".scr" file extension was truncated on display so I never knew I had a ".scr" file. I know better than to open a "SCR" file. The slick part is the guy even displays an image -- a porn one at that. Symantec now has a signature for the trojan to detect pre- and post-infection. Symantec does not yet have a removal scheme post infection until they can lure the virus to a machine they host. I suggest you all download the latest virus signatures from you antivirus provider and run a full comprehensive system scans. ...tim west...
