Re: Guerilla Activity in Western Kentucky

Thanks for the response, Greg. Captain Levi Williams was my great-great- paternal grandfather. He was a flatboat captain on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. He ran a ferry there at Williams Landing, which later became Newburgh. Another awesome piece of my family history is that the Williams' sold the landing to Dr. Thomas Jefferson Henslee, who was my great-grandfather on my mother's side of the family! A. Vance was probably Archelous Vance, another ancestor of mine on my father's side. His son, James P., was mortally wounded at Shiloh serving in the 3rd Kentucky. He is currently buried at Haynes Cemetary overlooking the Kentucky Lake. Greg, aren't you the gentleman who procured the Confederate headstone and headed up the ceremony for James last fall???
