Daviess County Home Guard
I am trying to locate information on the Daviess County, Kentucky Home Guard.
One of my ancestor's sons was a member of the Home Guard. According to an abstract of the newspaper article, the Daviess County Home Guard was under Captain Jim Wilson. It says Tinson Stout and three others died 14 July 1864 at Rough Creek in Ohio Co.
There were four killed, Stinson Stout (actually Tinson Stout), John N. Hinton, John Cecil, and Mr. Wooten.
Tinson Stout's widow applied and received a pension. The Civil War Pension Index lists the following:
Tinson Stout
Spouse Martha Stout
Daviess Co. KY H-Gde Inf (I am not sure if it is Gde)
Date of Filing: 1868, Sept 22
Appl # 165761
Cert # 120957
I would like to know more about this Home Guard as other family members lived in Daviess County. Is there a website that can help or a book? Any insightful information would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Rose
