First Generation

From Fauquier Co., VA Marriage Bonds:
Joseph Duncan to Sarah Fletcher, 18 Feb. 1767, bond Samuel Duncan; consent John Fletcher, wit. James Jett, Charles Duncan, pg.23 (MAD: no signatures by mark shown)
NOTE: While this may not be this Charles Duncan (d.1820), it is interesting to note that this is definitely the Charles Duncan son of Robert Duncan being a witness to his brother Joseph Duncan's marriage to Hannah Fletcher. This is made interesting by the fact that Samuel Duncan (1764-1844) the son of this Charles Duncan (d.1820) named a son Fletcher Duncan.

The Family Records of John Duncan of Nelson Co. (included here with permission of Robert P. Moore)
RPM: The Duncans who settled near Bloomfield, KY, in the 1780s, were somehow related to the family of William Duncan and Ruth Raleigh of Culpeper Co. VA.
This transcription was from photocopies of the original pages made by Caroline Kalb Horrell of Shawnee Mission, Kansas. Mrs. Horrell verifies that after the death of her uncle, Arthur V. Kalb, who had "cherished the Bible record of his mother Emma (Emily) Jane Duncan Kalb," the volume disappeared.
RPM: The title page information is not available for the Bible of this part of John Duncan's family, the pagination of the Family Records section (four pages torn from the book) is exactly the same as that of the Samuel Duncan Bible, as is the format of each page and the border decoration around each page. For that reason, it is assumed that the John Duncan Bible is the same edition from the same publisher.

From The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches by Presley Kittrich Ewing and Mary Ellen Williams Ewing, 1919:
Young Ewing son of Robert and Mary Baker Ewing was born in Bedford Co., VA. From the records of Christian Co., KY it appears that Young Ewing was thrice married. The name of his first wife is unknown; by her he had a daughter, Polly B. who married Ephraim B. Davidson. His second wife was Winnefred Warren, and his third, Evalina A. Jennings. (Deed Records of Christian Co., KY and Perrins History of Christian Co., KY) Whether he had other children by these subsequent marriages has not been ascertained.
He was one of the three original magistrates of Logan Co., KY in 1792; was Justice of the Peace, Logan Co. 1794, member of the KY Legislature from Logan Co., KY 1795, one of the first trustees of Newton Academy established by the Kentucky Legislature, December 22
....End of copy
From the History of Christian County, Kentucky by W. H. Perrin:
Young Ewing. --In gone-by years no man took a more active and conspicuous part in the political affairs of the county than the Hon. Young Ewing, one of the backwoods politicians who flourished in the early days of the Commonwealth. He was a true pioneer and hunter, as everybody else was then; a surveyor, politician and statesman, and in his Protean capacity he usually had his hands full. He came to Christian county just at a time when he was most needed. An unorganized community of people had, by an act of the Legislature, been placed unto themselves, and there was a demand for men competent to do the work of putting the infant municipality upon its feet. Col. Ewing was a man adapted to the emergency, and took as naturally to the official harness as a duck to the water. He was the first Circuit Clerk of the Court, and for a quarter of a century or more he served the people in one position or another, and if he did not do much for the county it did a great deal for him. He had once commanded a regiment against the Indians, and though the campaign was a bloodless one, yet his military record wafted him into office over all opposition, just as such things sometimes happen at the present day. It is told of him, but the story may be taken with some allowance, that always when a candidate, particularly if the campaign waxed hot, and his election appeared at all doubtful, the Colonel would be seen at public gatherings hobbling about with a cane or with an arm in a sling, complaining loudly of the hardships of a soldier’s life. But no sooner was he assured of his election than away went his cane, to be seen no more until again needed on a similar occasion.
The name of Col. Ewing appears in the records of Logan County in 1792 as one of the first three magistrates for that county, and in 1795 as a Representative in the State Legislature. When he came there or where he was from are questions the most diligent investigation has failed to solve. It is to be regretted that so little is known or can be learned of his early life, as anything pertaining to so prominent a character could not but be of interest to the reader. He is believed to have been a native of the Old Dominion, and the elements of statesmanship he developed naturally point to him as a son of the “ Mother of Presidents.” From the humble office of magistrate he essayed and accomplished dizzy flights to higher positions, which he filled time and again. He was above the majority of his associates in intellect, but somewhat careless and indifferent in the use of the King’s English when pouring forth from the stump one of his hot political campaign speeches. He came among the simple pioneers of Christian County, and waked the echoes of the primeval forests with his rude wild eloquence, and rode in triumph into the affections of the voters to that extent that he is not known to have been defeated but once in a political contest.
The following entries appear in the early court records “ The line between Logan and Christian Counties was run by Young Ewing and his deputy, Nicholas Lockett, on the part of Christian, and William Reading, Surveyor for Logan County, August 22, 1797.” “Young Ewing was allowed £14 12s. for running the dividing line between Logan and Christian Counties.” In addition to having been a surveyor and the first Clerk of the county, he was cashier of the first bank established in Hopkinsville. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention held in Frankfort, August 17, 1799, and which framed the second Constitution of the State. In the year 1800 his name first appears as a member of the Legislature from Christian County. He was elected again in 1801 and reelected in 1802, and again elected in 1806 and in 1807. In 1808 he was elected to the State Senate, and again in 1812, in 1820 and in 1824, but resigned about a year before his last term expired. In the Presidential campaign of 1824 he was Elector for the Fifth Congressional District. So great and so universal was his popularity that he was elected to many of these positions without opposition, and generally when he had an opponent his military record carried him through with flying colors. He was a genial gentleman—a “hail fellow well met,” withal, courteous and social ; could take his toddy “with the boys,” and “set ‘em up himself occasionally (all of which goes a long way with the “intelligent voter “) and which but added to his popularity. The last race he ever made for public office was about the year 1832, for the State Senate, and he was defeated. This was a wound to his self-complacency from which he never recovered. He had failed to keep pace with the age, new issues had sprung up beyond his ability to master, new and younger men opposed him, and though the “ old guard” rallied around him, the new order of things accomplished his defeat.
Kentucky has produced many remarkable men, but none so strongly original, or so interesting as the early, simple and honest statesmen of whom Young Ewing was a true type. They borrowed nothing from the books, and if some of them were so illiterate that it amounted to a gift or talent, their honesty of purpose offset any lack of education and culture. They legislated wholly for the good of the people and the country, and from them the modern statesman might learn lessons of wisdom.
Col. Ewing long lived one and a half miles from town, on the place now owned by the children of Dr. Shackelford, but for many years was a citizen of Hopkinsville. He was three times married. Of his first wife little is known, except that she bore him one child, a daughter. This daughter married a man named Davison, who was at one time High Sheriff of Daviess County, and who, it is said, was killed by friends of a prisoner whom he had arrested. Col. Ewing’s second wife was Winifred Warren, and one of the best women, Judge Long says, that ever lived. His last wife was a Miss Jennings. This marriage to him was, to say the least, ill-assorted. She was an illiterate, uncouth backwoods damsel, scarcely more than eighteen, while he was verging onto his three score and ten years. Soon after his last marriage he moved South, perhaps to the western part of Tennessee, where he died many years ago. No lineal descendant of Col. Ewing is now, so far as known, living in Christian County, and only a few of the older citizens remember him. Those that do, describe him as a social, companionable and hospitable gentleman, one who loved his friends, and was never happier than when surrounded by them, and bestowing upon them the hospitality of his home, or when zealously engaged in a hot political contest. Rosanna DUNCAN and Young EWING had the following children:
+20 i. Mary Baker EWING (born on 13 Apr 1787).

Notes for MARY ANN DAVIDSON:
My great-great-grandfather, John Murphey, married Ann Davidson (5 Sept. 1839 -21 June 1907.) She was a descendant of Ephraim B. and Mary Baker (Ewing) Davidson, a fact we know from various other descendants of this couple. I believe her father was George Madison Davidson. The reason there is doubt is because there was trouble in the family during the Civil War. The story handed down is that Ann or (Mary Ann) Murphey's brother was killed by a Northern Officer who in turn was killed by the Davidson family. My section of Kentucky was occupied at different times by both sides, and the records are miiddled. The family members involved were said to have fled to Texas and changed their names to avoid prosecution.Through the years, the contacts were lost, and anyone who may have known the facts is long dead. What I have related here is what I heard as a child. Letter to Chalmers Davidson from Brooks Morton.
6. JAMES WASHINGTON5 DAVIDSON (EPHRAIM BREVARD4, WILLIAM LEE (BRIG. GEN.)3, GEORGE2 DAVISON, (WILL) WILLIAM1) was born March 09, 1822 in Logan, Kentucky (?Stewart County, Tennessee?), and died September 02, 1867. He married (1) ELIZABETH BECKLEY July 18, 1846 in Daviess County Kentucky. She was born Abt. 1824, and died Bef. 1852. He married (2) LUCY MCFARLAND June 15, 1852 in Daviess County Kentucky. She was born Abt. 1830, and died Abt. 1859. He married (3) AMANDA MELVINA QUINN Bet. 1859 - 1960 in probably Webster County, Kentucky. She was born Abt. 1832, and died March 21, 1864. He married (4) SARY LEE KENDOW December 27, 1866 in Webster County, Kentucky. She was born Abt. 1832.
Notes for JAMES WASHINGTON DAVIDSON:
As nearly as we have been able to determine, James W. Davidson first married Elizabeth Beckley, on July 18, 1846, in Daviess Co., KY; then Lucy McFarland, on June 15, 1852, also in Daviess Co.; then Amanda Melvina Quinn sometime around 1859-60, probably in Webster Co., KY. She died March 21, 1864. Finally, he married Sary Lee Kendow, on December 27, 1866, in Webster Co.
Census records show that James W. Davidson had a son, William G., born about 1848, and another son, Thomas E., born about 1853. His daughter, Mary Jane, my wife’s great-grandmother was born in 1861.
James W. Davidson was in the Confederate Army – apparently in the 8th Cavalry, then in the 8th Mounted Infantry. (He was listed in Company A of each, which suggests that the latter may have been a reorganized version of the former.) Family recollections are that he served as a doctor, and that his death, two years after the war, in September, 1867, was apparently very sudden, but we don’t know what the cause of death was. Kentucky after the Civil War was a rather turbulent place, and I do wonder if he was the third male in direct line – after the General and Ephraim B. Davidson - to die as the result of some kind of violence.
Child of JAMES DAVIDSON and ELIZABETH BECKLEY is:
i. WILLIAM G.6 DAVIDSON, b. Abt. 1848.
Child of JAMES DAVIDSON and LUCY MCFARLAND is:
ii. THOMAS E.6 DAVIDSON, b. Abt. 1853.
Child of JAMES DAVIDSON and AMANDA QUINN is:
iii. MARY JANE6 DAVIDSON, b. 1861.
Mary Baker EWING and Ephraim Brevard DAVIDSON were married on 15 Nov 1811 in Logan Co., KY. Ephraim Brevard DAVIDSON was born on 22 Jan 1779 in Iredell Co., NC. He died on 26 Nov 1821 in New Madrid, New Madrid Co., MO.

Descendants of Ephraim Brevard Davidson
Generation No. 1
1. EPHRAIM BREVARD4 DAVIDSON (WILLIAM LEE (BRIG. GEN.)3, GEORGE2 DAVISON, (WILL) WILLIAM1) was born January 22, 1779 in Rowan County, North Carolina, and died November 26, 1821 in New Madrid, New Madrid County, Missouri. He married (1) CHARLOTTE CAROLINA COOKE January 11, 1801 in Iredell County, North Carolina. She was born 1782 in Iredell County, North Carolina, and died Aft. July 1809 in Iredell County, North Carolina. He married (2) MARY BAKER (POLLY) EWING November 15, 1811 in ,Logan County, Kentucky, daughter of YOUNG EWING and ROSANNA DUNCAN. She was born April 13, 1787 in Lincolin County, Kentucky, and died December 17, 1859 in Calhoun, McLean County, Kentucky.
Notes for EPHRAIM BREVARD DAVIDSON:
was an officer in the U.S. Army, living in Logan County Kentucky in 1807.
was murdered, in New Madrid ,Missouri. there was a warrant out and several Davidson's were called to testify in Obion ,Tennessee. (Obion County was formed in 1823 "it was indian territory" when Ephraim was killed) (artical: John Underwood murdered Ephraim B. Davidson of Stewart County on or about 14 Nov. 1821. $100 reward for Underwood who is on the run.) havent found any more details of what happened.
Nov. 23, 2000: My father seems to think that Ephraim may be buried in what is now Obion County, Tenn. When he died, it was not yet a county and still considered "indian country". I have seen many signs of Ephraim's work as a judge in Stewart County Circuit Court. He was one of several, and had many judgements on land, and division of goods after a person died. He was a very well respected man, and may have had land near what is Davidson Creek in Obion County. RD

Notes for AMANDA MALVINA DAVIDSON:
( It seems she was raised by Edley and his wife Elizabeth Love Ewing.)
Edley EWING _may_ have been a son of Andrew EWING, son of William of
Rockingham Co VA. At least, Edley's schildren were named as heirs in the 1813 will of Andrew, but no relationship was stated. If Edley was not son of Andrew, I believe there is some evidence that he was raised in his household at least. Andrew's older brother John had married a DAVIDSON, of no known relationship to Ephraim, but perhaps a link there. There are several points of contact between descendents of Wm of Rockingham and those of Robert of Bedford Co, though, in Logan Co, and in the Nashville area, and in Central Mo and in TX, so more likely
that the EWING connection would be the basis for the semi-adoption of Malvina. Possibly a NC connection, also (or instead): Edley is most likely a variant of Adlai (a name perpetuated by the STEVENSONs, but which turns up first among the OSBORNEs (I think) who were connections of the NC DAVIDSONs -- the STEVENSONS, DAVIDSONs, and some EWINGs were among those families that went from NC to Nashville to Logan Co KY.
The data I have for Edley is: b 1775/8 [1CenTX] or 1778 [LDSAbs], near Nashville, Tennessee [MemTX]. d 1846, San Augustine district, Texas [MemTX; 1CenTX] or 1847/8 [LDSAbs]. m Elizabeth ____ [1CenTX] or m (1) 1798, Williamson County, Tennessee [IGI], Elizabeth Love and m (2) Elizabeth .Ardrey [ESE].

Floyd.Ewing Davidson, July 5,. 1854, in Kentucky --died Jan. 14, 1934
There is very little known of the early life of this branch of the Davidson's. Here is the little that we know. Most of it told to me by grandpa Davidson himself. Young Ewing and his wife lived in the South someware, not too far from the Mississippi River. It,could have been in the state of Mississippi. He was quite a hunter, (squirrels, rabbits, and such small game being plentiful there, : Seems to be nothing known of the mother of John Brevard, but this John Brevard went to the civil war, and never returned nor .was ever heard from by his family. However grandpa Davidson was always interested in any Davidson,and
always inquiried wondering if possibly, his half-brother might have survived the war, married and raised a family. He always inquired of any family history they might know.
William Wallace died when very small baby. when grandpa was very young (6 or 7 ?) his father died suddenly of poisoning. It was thought an old darky woman had got mad at him and done it on purpos, but no real facts are certain. The mother did not live very long after the death of the father. He remembers a trip up the Mississippi by boat, but wheather befor or after his mother died, I don't know.
However after she died, he was put in the "Home of the Friendless" in Chicago, Illinois, I do not know if Mary Catherin was sent there or not, But she married a man by the name of Wilson and had five children born in Illinois. They moved to Oklahoma and maybe another child or two born there, she lived near Henrietta Oklahoma about 1932 but is dead now but some of her children may be somewhere around there yet.
A man by the name of Pike took grandpa from the orphans home, also taking a girl at the same time. he grew up with this family and it was the old mans wish that these two would mary, which they did, tho it was more to please the old man than to please themselves.

[?? his death record Shows b: Oct 30, 1836, & LDS records show b: Sept. 2, 1839. by Edna (Wyers) Adams (1880 census of Diamond, Grundy County, Illinois show him being 37 yrs. old on June 3, 1880 which would make his burth year about 1842 or 43)??] I tend to think that about 1842 is right

(photo) Rescue Party At No. 2 San Bois Mine After Explosion March 20, 1912.
In reveiews the incidents that occurred in this great explosion and the miraculous escape of a number of entombed men we find these facts.
Never before in the history of mine explosions in the southwest has there been one the equal of the explosion at No, 2 mine on March 20, 1912.
There were 97 men entombed 73 of whom were brought out dead. Ten escaped out of a "man way" located about 200 yards from the main entrance of the mine and these men say they heard no report and had not the smoke become so dense, they could no longer work they possibly would have worked on through the day. But when the dense smoke came on them they knew there must be something wrong. They were working in the South Eighth.
There were 14 fortunates found by the rescue party in the south 18th entry, far back in the mine in a room 8x10. Here those 14 had found an air fount They took the top off this and packed themselves as closely about this life giving fount of air as circumstances would permit. They hung a curtain at the room entrance and then huddled as near the air as possible, their heads above the top of the pump. As one after another grew faint, overcome for lack of air, his fellows held him over the top of the pump till he was revived by the scanty air.
Shy Gussio was one of the rescued party and his thoughts were constantly of his brother, Joe, and twice he left his haven of temporary safety and braved the dangers of the mine to find his brother. He traveled far into the darkness and came upon the form of a man which he dragged to the one place of the living that he knew, but the body was lifeless and it was not that of his brother. After reviving himself at the air pump he started forth again despite the protestations of his fellows to find his brother. Again he stumbled upon a form and dragged it to the pump and again he was disapointed. He was one of the four of that group who had to be carried out.
Sixty_nine men were Buried at the Miners' Cemetery here in McCurtain and four were shipped to other places. Frank Crook to Indiana; W. D Roper to Clio, North Carolina; Charley Coward in to Hartford, Ark.; William Farrimond to Missouri.
The whole city of McCurtain was in mourning, there was scarcely a home that some relative was not a victim of the disaster, the most appalling in the mining history of the south west. Everywhere the scene was distressing. At the mouth of the mine, about the street and in the homes it was the same, women with their babies in their arms and the older children huddled about, bemoaning: the loss of one dear to them and; the men staring a mute appeal. In all of their faces haggard and drawn after sleepless nights, one could read their agony.
About the mine, conditions were especially pitiful. Here hundreds kept watch through the nights in he hopes by some chance, a kinsman might have escaped death and·would be brought to the surface. But with a return of each relay of rescuers and reports of additional bodies located but nothing to indicate that any more of the men were alive hope gradually waned till there were but few who had not given up in despair.
Ralph Kenny, 16 year old son of Rev, Kenny, pastor of McCurtain M E church at time, could not escape what fate had decreed. The little fellow was among the fourteen living which the mine gave up. Partly insensible at first, he shortly came to himself and smiled as he told of the night in the small pump room where he and thirteen choking men almost fought each other for gasps of fresh air from the broken air pipe. Then a pallor spread over his face, his form quivered, and befor outstretched hands could seize his body sank to the floor. Helpers looked at him and then at each other. The strand of life had been stietched too severe during the hideous torment of the night.
It was a story seldom heard that Koskoski told. He was one of the fourteen who sought safety in the pump room. He and Frank Scott staggered up to the broken pipe at the same time.They frantically pushed each other aside with the first breath of fresh air. When they breathed naturally again, they searched nearby comreds one after another of the other twelve were found,carried to the living air and revived.
The following is a list of those that were taken out alive by rescuing parties: John Izett, James Miller, Joe Miller, Willard Jenkins, John Koskoski, John Connoar, Frank Scott, John Tanner, Claude Gragg, Shy Gussio, John Kokoski, Jr., V. Harrison, Pete Parenti, Tom Farrimond.

(newspaper 1921 Chant-McCurtain Oklahoma)
It has been nine years since this horrible explosion, many have moved away and some have passed into the great beyond. But each year, those who are away return and the local here conducts their memorial services and strews flowers over the graves of the heroic dead.
No 2 mine has long since been abandoned and new ones have been opened up and coal mining in McCurtain is still in its infancy. But as long as time lasts the 20th of March 1912 will be a horrible memory to those who were here and saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears the pitiful sights and mournful wail of the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives and sweethearts. May the all wise and just God guard McCurtain and keep her people from witnessing such an explosion again.

DR. JOHN P. M. JETT, Hancock County, was born in Daviess County, Ky., June
6, 1828, to Richard C. and Susan T. (Miller) Jett. His father was born in
Culpeper County, Va., in 1785. Peter Jett, subject's grandfather, was also
a native of Virginia, and was a soldier in the Revolution. Richard C. came
to Kentucky when a young man, and first settled in Woodford County. In
1820 he moved to Daviess County, where in 1825 he married Miss Miller, who
was born in Virginia in 1801. He was a farmer and was a sheriff of the
county for about eight years, and also a magistrate. He died in Hancock
County in March, 1862, a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. His
widow died in May, 1863. Our subject was the third of a family of twelve
children, of whom seven are now living: Thomas, in this county; J. P. M.,
also in this (Hancock) County; Richard L., in Daviess County; Mary A., wife
of L. M. Burnett, in Daviess County; Sallie, wife of W. E. Haynes, of
Henderson County; Thaddeus S., in Ohio County and Joe in Ohio County.
Subject received his schooling in Daviess County, read medicine about two
years with Dr. N. L. Lightfoot, and then attended lectures at the medical
department of the Louisville University in 1853 and 1854. He first
practiced medicine in Ohio County, and in 1855 he moved to Hancock County.
After practicing about two years, he turned his attention to the commission
business and to farming. In 1866 he moved to Lewisport and has since
devoted himself exclusively to produce and grain buying, and is the only
commission merchant in the place. He is also an insurance agent and notary
public. September 30, 1857, he married Mrs. Louisa J. Blincoe, nee
Daviess, a daughter of John Daviess, one of the early settlers of Daviess
County. This lady was born in Daviess County in 1811 and died in this
county on July 31, 1874. Subject has served as constable five years and
was elected to the office of police judge in 1882, an office which he is
still holding. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and
of Lewisport Lodge, No. 303, F. & A. M.

Introduction to the Taylor Family Correspondence
By Jeremy A. Kiene
The five letters in this group, all dating from the summer and fall of 1864, were written from separate Northern prisoner of war camps by Jonathan Gibson "Gip" Taylor (1839-1864) and his brother Robert Walker Taylor (1840-1902). Both were Confederate cavalrymen; both ultimately served in units attached to commands of Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan. Gibson appears to have enlisted in 1861, in Co. D, 1st Kentucky (Helm's) Cavalry. Robert enlisted in 1862, in Co. E, 10th Kentucky (Johnson's) Partisan Rangers. The two were sons of Jonathan G. and Susan Hawes Taylor of Yelvington, Daviess County, Kentucky. According to the 1860 Federal census, Jonathan Taylor, Sr. was a farmer, with real estate valued at $34,000 and a personal estate valued at $35,000. The 1860 Slave Schedule indicates that he held 50 slaves. In 1860 both Gibson (or "Gipson") and Robert were living and working on their father's farm; the enumerator identified them as "farm hands." Of six other Taylor sons and daughters, five were in residence. The Taylors' eldest son, Richard H., was an attorney living in nearby Owensboro, Kentucky.
The 1st Kentucky Cavalry was mustered into service in October 1861, under the command of Col. Benjamin H. Helm. By the summer of 1862 its numbers were so depleted that it was reorganized and parceled out to other Kentucky regiments. At this time, Gibson Taylor--a 3rd lieutenant in the 1st Kentucky--was transferred into the command of John Hunt Morgan, under whom he was "noted for gallant and meritorious conduct" (Thompson, Orphan Brigade, p. 996). He was captured on 12 June 1864 at Cynthiana, Kentucky, where Morgan's command was surprised and routed by Union reinforcements sent to relieve the garrison the Confederates had captured the day before. Gibson's 19 June 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-01.shtml> letter to his cousin Mollie Davis, the earliest in the group, was written from the military prison at Louisville, Kentucky only a week after his capture. In it, he requests assorted clothing and provisions, and asks her to assure his father that he is uninjured and in relatively good health. The prison in Louisville was a collection and distribution center for prisons further north (see Official Records, Series II, Volume 7, p. 563-65). From Louisville, Gibson was transferred to the Federal military prison at Rock Island, Illinois. His 27 June 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-02.shtml> letter to his father indicates that he was housed at Rock Island's prison barracks No. 75.
Prison correspondence was, of course, subject to censorship. Article XVII of a 20 April 1864 Federal circular specifies that outgoing and incoming letters are to be examined by non-commissioned officers, and must be no more than one page in length (Official Records, Series II, Volume 7, p. 75). Prisoners typically used the space at their disposal to reassure family members of their safety and to solicit aid that might enhance their standard of living. Gibson's 27 June 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-02.shtml> letter, possibly his first as a prisoner at Rock Island, informs his father of his whereabouts and requests clothing and money to purchase "some delicacies to eat and paper stamps." On 22 August 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-03.shtml>, in a letter to his sister Clara, he reports that "the health of the Prison is not very good though we have no fatal diseases among us. The most prevalent is something similar to flux." According to Robert's letter of 28 October 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-05.shtml>, an acquaintance had informed him that "dear brother Gip" died in the camp of pneumonia on 15 October 1864. Military records indicate that he actually died the day before. The earlier date is corroborated by two Rock Island prison letters now in the possession of James Poe of Miami, Florida. These letters, both dated 16 October 1864, were written by Patrick Coyle (Co. K, 4th Kentucky Mounted Infantry) and J. H. Vencill (Co. E, 10th Kentucky Partisan Rangers), Daviess County soldiers who were at Rock Island when Gibson died. The history of the all-Kentucky "Orphan Brigade" contains a brief (and probably embroidered) account of his death:
In prison he became so seriously ill that the only chance for recovery seemed to be release and the special nursing of friends. The only chance to be released was to take the oath of allegiance to the power he had volunteered to fight — in other words, to desert his flag. The alternative was offered him, but he spurned it and died there — true to himself and to his principles. (Thompson, Orphan Brigade, p. 949)
Neither Vencill nor Coyle mentions this principled stand in their letters to Gibson's father, and Coyle assures Taylor, Sr. that prison officials gave his son all possible care. Coyle reports that Taylor fell ill on or around 1 October, and that he was hospitalized after his condition worsened on 7 October. In a letter dated 4 October 1864 (James Poe Collection), Gibson himself reports that he has "taken cold & had a chill." The period from June to November 1864 was marked by severe hunger at Rock Island, the result of reduced rations and restrictions on sutlers, affected partly in retaliation for conditions in Southern camps. Curiously, during these same months the mortality rate at Rock Island decreased by half. Inspection reports from the camp for the first half of October 1864 mention "extreme wet weather" (Official Records, Series II, Volume 7, p. 918).
Robert W. Taylor was mustered in to the 10th Kentucky on 23 July 1862, eventually reaching the grade of 1st sergeant. Though originally intended as a partisan ranger outfit, the regiment was soon attached to Morgan's cavalry brigade in the Army of Tennessee. In June-July 1863 it participated in Morgan's "Great Raid" into southern Indiana and Ohio, during which most of the regiment was captured. Enlisted men were sent to Camp Douglas, in Chicago, where they remained for the duration of the war. Robert probably arrived at the camp around this time. This was apparently Robert's second experience as a prisoner of war. His 15 October 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-04.shtml> letter from Camp Douglas to an unnamed sister concerns a former fiancée's recent wedding. Robert's own prior misgivings about the engagement, which he confesses in this letter, temper his shock at the news. "When I was captured the second time," he writes, "I found I had become quite indifferent & my first letter should have been a request to be released from the engagement." Another of his prison letters, dated 14 January 1864 and now in the possession of Taylor family descendants, puts Robert and his cousin, Pvt. Richard Hawes, at Camp Douglas by December 1863 at the latest. Military records indicate that Hawes, who also served under Morgan, was captured on 1 August 1863. In his 28 October 1864 </digital/civil_war/letters/taylor/5033-05.shtml> letter to his sister, Robert enumerates the articles of clothing and bedclothes he has recently received from home. Among these, one pair of socks and a quantity of tobacco have been confiscated as contraband. Regulations governing prisoners' receipt of packages from beyond the lines varied from camp to camp, and changed over the course of the war. A Federal circular dated 10 August 1864 stipulates that supplies such as paper, stamps, and tobacco were to be purchased from the camp sutler and were not to be received by mail (Official Records, Series II, Volume 7, p. 574). Though Robert Taylor seems relatively well-provisioned, the same restrictions on rations and purchases in effect at Rock Island also obtained at Camp Douglas, where overcrowding and Chicago's fouled water supply contributed to a quadrupling of the mortality rate during the same period.

JUDGE ROBERT E. DUNCAN is a native of Daviess County, Ky., and a son of John G.
and Sarah (Head) Duncan, both parents born in the same county and State. The
Duncan family are of Scotch descent, and were among the first pioneers of Nelson
County. Subject's great grandfather, John Duncan, emigrated from Virginia to
that part of the State before the present century. The grandfather of our
subject was Robert Duncan, a native of Virginia. He came to Kentucky when but a
small boy, and resided in Nelson County a number of years, subsequently moving
to Daviess County, where his death occurred about the year 1830. John G. Duncan
was born in Nelson County in 1802. In early life he was a farmer, but in later
years he carried on an extensive merchandising business in Hawesville, and
became one of the leading citizens of the place. He died about the year 1878.
His wife, the mother of subject, was a daughter of Henry Head, an early resident
of Daviess County. She died about 1844 or 1845. John G. and Sarah Duncan
reared a family of five children, four of whom are living, viz.: Mary J., Thomas
K., R. E. and C. T. The subject of this sketch was born January 22, 1846. He
received his early education in the common schools, and in 1863 he entered
Cecilian College, Hardin County, which institution he attended one year. In the
spring of 1864, being then but eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the
Thirteenth Kentucky Cavalry of the Confederate army, with which he served for a
period of fifteen months. His regiment was attached to Forrest's command, and
took part in several engagements in the Kentucky and Tennessee campaigns. At
the close of the war Mr. Duncan returned to Hancock County and commenced reading
law with E. H. Brown, under whom he prosecuted his legal studies for eighteen
months, but did not apply for admission to the bar. In 1870 he was elected
county clerk of Hancock County, and re-elected three different times thereafter,
filling the office for a period of twelve years. In August, 1882, he was
elected county judge, a position he fills at the present time. Mr. Duncan was
married, in 1876, to Miss Adelia Hannan, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The fruit of this
union is one child, viz.: Genevieve, born August 22, 1878. Judge Duncan is a
member of the Masonic fraternity, K. of H., and belongs to the Methodist
Episcopal Church, with which he has been connected since his boyhood.
