FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF BRAXTON BRAGG FIGHTS THE ENEMY AT PERRYVILLE OCTOBER EIGHTH 1862 While there was minor fighting occuring near the small community of Fairfax in Virignia, another battle erupts in Kentucky, which sees hundreds of soldiers killed on both sides of the conflict. General Braxton Bragg had moved his Army of Tennessee in to this region only a couple of days earlier, and he understood they may soon encounter northern resistance. Union General Don Carl Buell soon engaged these Confederates and gave them a major engagement with everything they had at the time. The result of this battle left 845 federal soldiers killed, 2851 soldiers were wounded and yet another 515 are reportedly missing in action. The southern losses were just as terrible with 510 of their troops killed. 2635 soldiers had been injured and 251 were reported missing in action. The Battle of Perryville was a cost- ly one for both armies. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Should anyone on our Kentucky War Between the States list know of an ancestor who died in this particular battle, please share your thoughts with our KYWBTSVETS list. Send your remarks to our list address: [email protected] THANKS for your membership and all of your participation. Glenn

Does anyone know if there is a list on line of the American Revolutionary War soldiers in Whitley County? I could like to have as complete a listing as I can find. Any help would be appreciated. Mary Siler

Hello. I'm a college grad student in Washington, DC. Recently, I have been doing some personal family research at the Archives, and realized that I could be doing this for people at a much quicker pace than the people at the Archives. Generally, a request received by the Archives takes several months, at a minimum, to be processed. So, being that grad school is expensive and I could use a little bit of help to pay some student loans, I am offering to do military research (service files, pension files, etc) at the Archives. The fee that I would be asking for would be reasonable, so as to compensate my time, printing costs and postage for what I will send you. If you are interested, please just email me at [email protected] Take care. Kelley

Hello: I would appreciate any information anyone could provide on how I could access the Civil War records of my 2nd great-grandfather and his brother. Both were born in Christian County, KY. HENRY CLAIBORNE WEST b. 154 May 1835; md. Mildred Loving; d.29 Apr 1925 at the Mason's Home in Shelbyville, KY. Was living in MO at the time of the War and may have served on the Union side as a volunteer from IL. However he returned home to KY to marry in Bowling Green, KY on 3 Fen 1863 so his military service may not have been honorably completed. His brother, JOHN THOMAS WEST b.1 Feb 1838; md. Virginia "Jennie" Weathers 9 Oct 1866 in Elkton, Todd County, KY; d. 2 Jul 1919 in Bowling Green, Warren County, KY. Since he was imprisoned by the Union Forces in Camp Douglas near Chicago. IL, I believe he served in the Confederate Army. Any information or clues as to how I can obtain information about these men would be appreciated.

Hello Christie, Nice to hear form you! Members of my family on both sides of my family were Morgan's Men. My gggrandfather James Edward Evans 3rd Tenn. Cavalry, 7th Regiment, Kentucky Cavalry, Co 1 3 Regiment KY Cavalry ....reorganization came often. He was often imprsioned by the Union. It began in of March 1863 at a Military Prison, Louisville, KY. He was then moved to Balimore, Maryland and finally in City Point, Virgina. In July 1863 he was at Camp Chase Ohio, moved to Cincinati and in Aug of 1863 was imprisioned at Camp Douglas, IL where he was kept until March 1865 when he was sent to Point Lookout, Maryland for exchange. He was in Washington Ga on May 11,1865 when the 1 Regiment KY Cavalry surrendered. On May 22, 1865 his name appears as a signature to an Oath of Allegiance to the Untied States, subscribed and sworn to before W H Bracken, 1st Lieut. & Asst. Pro Mar. Genl., dept. Cumb., at Nashville, Tenn. where some blessed soul recorded his physical description! After the war he tried to keep the farm going in Nelson Co., Ky but was forced to work at the Customs Hou! se in Lousville, KY to make ends meet. The Customs House was a government building, and it collected taxes on goods sent and received by river (the Ohio). A 1st cousin 3 times removed, Benjamin Joseph "B J" Cooper, was with John Hunt Morgan during the Civil War and was captured and imprisoned in Chillicothe, OH. He was released after the war with John Barr and walked back to Lebanon, weak and undernourished. He was never well after that.

Dear Commander and Fellow List Members, I am seeking information On the BATTLE OF LEBANANON which took place in Marion County, Kentucky. Marker number 600 was placed at a Rail Road station off US 68, in Lebanon by the Kentucky Historical Society. According to the KHS John Hunt Morgan's Raiders (Numbering 2,400 men) on there way to Ohio were met by Union forces (numbering 380) under the command of Colonel C. S. Hanson on July 5, 1863. During the battle, the out numbered Union troops barricaded themselves in the depot. Morgan's Raiders then set fire to the buildings however, rain saved the railroad station from complete destruction. Seven hours later, when nearly encircled, the Union troops surrendered. The Union troops were marched to Springfield. Morgan's Men continues on to Ohio, crossing the Ohio River at Brandenbrug. Might anyone be able to direct me to futher information regarding this battle? Members of both my maternal and paternal families rode with Morgan and later suffered terribly in Union prison camps. Thank you kindly for your time and assisntance. Mary Beth

Hi Listers, I have been researching my gg grandfather David M. Murphy from Kentucky. I have located this name on the roster of the 8th Kentucky Cavalry "M" company Union, using the Park Service data base. Would anyone know of a book or web site where I could get information on this David M. Murphy to see if he could be my gg grandfather. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The home is still Standing and a Confederate Flag still Waving! the only thing left on the 1st floor was the statue of Davis which had a 3rd national draped across it. josie MS Division - Update on Beauvoir Compatriots: As I write this, I am looking at a picture of Beauvoir. When I left this morning for school, I began recording MSNBC to see if I could get lucky, and I have. Three of our compatriots also have seen this picture. Beauvoir Mansion, as seen from the west side has no porch on the front, the front steps are gone, and there is roof damage to the front and front right. It seems to also have some damage to the area underneath but the porch has fallen in on top so it is hard to tell. The shutters on the west and front sides seem intact, and, from what I can see of someone the back, they are also. Just what extent the damage has done is difficult to tell, but the inside may be salvable. We will not know for certain until one of the members has gone to Beauvoir to inspect. Spoke to Ward Calhoun last night and he is hoping to get down soon. My son and I may drive down this weekend if able. FedEx is providing water and we may carry some of it down. If so, will take photos and send next week. My personal thanks to our compatriots, to my son, to 1st Lt. Commander Larry McCluney, and Dan McCaskill, another of my fellow Board members, for keeping me posted so that I can send some good news, not newspaper news. Will send more as I know. Deo Vindice, Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 12:44 PM Subject: Beauvoir House Still Stands Compatriots, An aerial shot of Beauvoir on the Jackson, MS 10:00 news shows Beauvoir still standing although severely damaged. Looking at the house from the air, the main house is still intact but the gallery and columns around the house are gone. It also has a large hole in the southwest corner of the roof and all windows and doors are gone. The Hayes Cottage just west of the House is no longer there. The Barracks in the rear of the House is probably gone as well. The copter did not pan far enough to the east to see the condition of the Gift Shop and Confederate Museum. From an earlier post, it sounds like the Library survived. I was told that many of the artifacts from the museums and House were moved to the upper floors Library for safe keeping. If the structural integrity of the House is sound, I believe Beauvoir can be restored. Update on Beauvoir ... It's NOT a total loss! 1st Lt. Commander, Mississippi Division, SCV and he assures me that Beauvoir is salvageable!!! House - 65% of the main house still stands. The porch, windows, doors, column & front porch are gone, but the structure still stands. If the structural integrity is good, the house can be repaired. Status of contents is unknown until we're allowed back into the area. Library - The first floor is gone, the only thing left on the 1st floor was the statue of Davis which had a 3rd national draped across it. Davis' papers, along with his will, were moved upstairs, so they survived. Small home where Davis resided - survived Other buildings, such as the gift shop, are gone. To view the video of Beauvoir, go to http://www.wlbt.com/ then click on the 2nd Skycopter tour ... this is about 16 minutes long ... Beauvoir is about 9:35 on the film. We're looking at 2-3 years to repair/rebuilt. Beauvoir depends heavily on tourism for survival, which will present a critical problem while it's being repaired. It's even more critical now that we get the matching funds for the federal grant. Please consider fundraising within your chapters to help us preserve this piece of our heritage.

Since this is a matching grant, Beauvoir would have $622,000 for restoration work. We are asking all Confederate Rose members and all OCR Societies to help in our project to raise funds toward the matching grant fund for Beauvoir. This money will go toward the restoration of the Mansion to its original state. What is needed to complete the matching funds necessary to secure the grant is $100,000.

The house was located on the north side of Beach Boulevard, across from a number of "barge style" casinos.

After Davis' death Beauvoir evolved first into the Jefferson Davis Soldiers' Home, serving as a hospital and residence for disabled Confederate veterans and their dependents. The Beauvoir Confederate Cemetery is located at the extreme northwest corner of the estate and contains over 750 graves. One of them is Sam Davis, father of Jefferson Davis, whose body was moved there when the Mississippi River threatened his original gravesite at Hurricane Plantation. The Beauvoir cemetery is also the home of the Grave of the Unknown Confederate Soldier in an above-ground granite shrine. No reports on its condition are available. Another nearby burial ground, Southern Memorial Park, had its mausoleum torn open by the force of the onrushing water, and witnesses told the Clarion-Ledger that numerous caskets were strewn about the grounds. Most "burials" in the area are above-ground entombments due to difficulties with the high water table. The home and grounds have been open to the public since 1957. In 1969 Beauvoir survived Hurricane Camille but the museum, at that time in the basement of the house, was severely flooded. The Library cottage suffered severe damage from that storm.
