Like your CAREY ancestor, my Watkins/Hart/Duncan-Dunkin/Hooker lines also went to KY to join the Union side. My Wm. Douglas Watkins b 1843 was a private; his brother Samuel died of measles in KY. Wm. and Samuel's father Wm. Watkins b 1805 TN, my 2nd ggrandfather, was beaten to death by bushwackers because of his having two sons in Union Army. This man who was beaten lived outside Loudon, TN, at the community of Piney where my Watkins line lived. Perhaps you can find your kin in the same units with mine: http://w3.one.net/~durp/CivilWar/Union.htm I have wondered for some time why virtually every part of this line (Duncan/Hart/Moore/Watkins/Hooker) fought on Union side. Much of E TN was Union, but the usual reasons given by researchers just don't make much sense to me. Perhaps it relates to their previous connections to Maryland/PA ties, to Quaker anti-slavery sentiments, or the like. Doris in VA
