    3. 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.
