Surnames: CARIGAN, CARRIGAN, HUTCHISON
This company was formed in part at Steubenville in Wayne Co -- KY. I am interested in sharing information with anyone else researching this unit. It certainly seems to be a mystery unit, with Internet resources being very sparse. My great grandfather, James Muhlenburg Carigan, mustered in at the organization date, fought at Murfreesboro TN and Milton TN (wounded there) and was involved later with Morgan's Cavalry. Basil Duke's book describes the activities of the 6th during the last days of the Ohio Raids. My ggf was captured on the same day as Morgan himself. Pvt Carigan spent most of the rest of the war at the wretched Fort Delaware POW facility. One of my great grand uncles, William Hutchison, perished at Camp Chase OH. Both of these men were from Frazer, KY in northeast Wayne County
