Dear Mariana, Where in Illinois do you live? I was born in Clay County, IL. I came to Washington DC right out of high school. Met my future husband here and the rest is history. I was recruited just like the soldiers. We lived in barrack type housing on ground that is now utilized for Arlington National Cemetery. My husband & son and my husband's parents are all buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I will be buried there with my husband. I feel that the spot where my husband is buried is where I used to live as a government career girl! So much for that. I now live in Alexandria, Virginia. I have been to Dr Mudd's House. One of our Harbins worked to help hide John Wilkes Booth. It is not like it sounds. Thomas Harbin was a spy reporting directly to Jefferson Davis. He left the country for a time but returned and worked as a bartender in a DC bar.There are Harbins still living in the DC & MD area.
