Thank you, Charlie. I'm sorry I didn't say that I knew of Lacy Midgett being with the 8th MO Cav. In a book called Campaigning with Marmaduke it's said that he deserted in Aug of '63 with a lot of other men when they were dismounted and reassigned with the infantry. (Must've been a degrading prospect to go from riding in style to marching.) Lacy was living in KY before the war, I don't know why he would have joined the MO cav in Sep of '62, but apparently he went home for another horse and joined the KY cav. Maybe under another name? It's a mystery. Jim >Jim I looked all thru Ky rosters for 3th Ky Mounted Inf I could not find >him I ran a scan and found only one person in all of C.S.A Lacy M.Midgett >one was Lacy N.
