Camp Hobson was located in Taylor County as you've already found. My gg-grandfather, Jeptha Tanda Mitchell, muster-in there in 1861 as a Private in Company K, 13th Ky. US Infantry, that was also called Hobson's Regiment. The 13th saw action from Shiloh to the fall of Atlanta and possibly Savannah, Ga. The 13th mustered-out in Louisville in December 1864. Jep was from Worthville, Carroll Co., Ky. His brother George went to Missouri and was joined General Kirby Smith. Refusing to take an oath of allegiance to the USA after the war, he went to Mexico with Smith and became a part of the Vera Cruze Settlement with the consent of the Emperor Maximillion. When old Max was shot before a firing squad, George migrated to Oklahoma and was in the last "land rush:, there. I recently located his gg-granddaughter in Oregon, thus our family has re-united after 140 years of seperation caused by the Civil War..
