Hugh Johnson - Private

G-G-Grandfather
Hugh Johnson was born in 1840 in what was then part of Carter County, KY. He enlisted in Field's CO., KY Partisan Rangers in Nov. 1862. His brothers Willis W., Francis Marion, and Jesse Jr., also served in this company. Hugh was captured during a raid near Grayson, KY, on May 11, 1863. He was sent to Point Lookout Prison on the Maryland Shore. He was released on Jan. 10, 1864. Hugh returned to his home on Mauk Ridge in Carter County. In 1869 this part of Carter County was used to create parts of Elliott County. Hugh died there in 1912. His wife, Barbara Ellen Porter, had 5 brothers who were Union Soldiers. Hugh and Barbara are buried in the old Johnson cemetery on Mauk Ridge in Elliott County. I placed a new Confederate headstone on Hugh's grave several years ago.

William Washington Oney - Private
|
March 3, 1988 Dear Ms. Guymon, I am presently employed at the Kentucky State Archives and noted while reviewing a recent reference request that you were interested in information on William Washington Oney. For the past several years I have been collecting information for a history of 'Fields' Partison Rangers', a company of Kentucky cavalry that served with Confederate forces in eastern Kentucky during the Civil War. One of the members of this command was William Oney who enlisted as a private on May 27, 1863 in Carter County, Ky. I feel certain that he is the same individual and I was hoping that during the course of your research you might have collected some family traditions about his service in the Confederate army. A William W. Oney, born ca. 1843, was enumerated in the Carter County Census of 1850 as a member of Martha Oney's household. On Oct 19, 1861 he enlisted as a private in Co. D of the 5th Kentucky Infantry in Carter County, Ky. He was mustered out of the infantry at Hazel Green, Wolfe County, Ky. on Oct 20, 1862. Many members of this command subsequently re-enlisted in Captain William Jason Fields 'Rangers'. In additio to his service in the Civil War he was apparently active in the vigilante movement in Elliott County, Ky. in 1879-80. I found his name on a list of Elliott County 'Regulators pardoned by Gov. Blackburn in the early 1880's.. Sincerely, James M. Prichard.'

William A. Thompson - Private
|
G-G-Grandfather
William Alexander Thompson was born in Carter Co., KY, in 1843. On Oct. 19, 1861, he enlisted in Co. D, 5th Kentucky Vol. Infantry. He was later promoted to 1st Corporal. He saw action at the battles of Middle Creek, Ivy Mountain, and Princeton, VA. After being discharged at the end of his 1 year enlistment on Oct. 20, 1862, he enlisted as a Private in Capt. Wm Jason Field's Co. of KY Partisan Rangers, on Nov. 26, 1862. He was captured during a raid near Grayson, KY, on May 11, 1863. He was sent to Point Lookout Prison on the Maryland shore. He was released on Jan. 10, 1864, after taking the Oath of Allegience to the U.S. Years later when he applied for a Confederate pension from the state of KY, he was asked on the application when and were he took the Oath of Allegience. He stated he took the Oath 'to keep from starving and freezing to death'.
After his release William returned to Carter County and built a large home in 1871 on Stark Ridge in what was now part of Elliott County. He married Sarah Goins in 1870 and together they raised a large family. He was sheriff of Elliott County for several terms in the 1870's and 80's, and was heavily involved in the 'Elliott County Regulators Uprising of 1879'.
He died in 1924. He is buried in the family cemetery near his old home which still stands. I placed a new Confederate marker on his grave in 1997.
