Comments:
Family tradition is WW Fields was captured near Prestonsburg (Wireman Shoals) 4 Dec 1862 by Col. John Clarkson. Held prisioner at Kings's Salt Works, in Virginia. But escaped with a companion, after a Confederate relative suplied horses for the getaway in February of 1864. He was supposed to have served as Chaplain for his Company. After his return it is said that he served under Judge C.M. Layne, of Louisville. He later preached Judge Layne's funeral. Most of this information is from oral history, and church documents (that Ihave not seen). If you have any otherinformation or clarification please contact me Etch@Etchmark.com George (Fields) Cline Paonia, Colorado Originally from Martin Co., Ky

Thank you for sending this URL to the Knott County Historical Society. I really understand your protection statement on the main page. We've been the victims of several copyright infringements and plagiaristic ventures. We hand type everything to insur accuracy. We hand typed the 39th roster, and were going to add every pension application in toto to be used at the library only. I am anxious for your publication, and am interested in placing your CD in the Society's Library. We have two computers for public use - one which is public domain, the other which is copyrighted. Keep up the good work. Visit our Society sometime and see who we really are. We've rocked the boat before, but it is for integrity and ethics in historical research that we do such. Sincerely, David R. Smith, Pres. Knott County Historical Society

I really enjoyed your page, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it. Not sure if any of those listed are ancestors, but some are probably related. My ggg-grandpa was William Baldridge and was married to a Hannah Estep, found both those last names in our roster, from the same general area. Anyhow, thanks for the hard work, it's great you're keeping history alive.

Excellent Web Page. I am currently writing a book about the Civil War in Southwest Virginia & East Tennessee. Your website is an inspiration to those who truly appreciate the "Late unpleasantness" and remember those who fought and fell for what they belie ed in. Keep up the good work.
