No. The Lake Springs neighborhood was the home of the a number of very aggressive southern families, the Lenox family and Dick Kitchens for example. Some of these men were determined guerrillas throughout the war, and the local Union authorities in late 1863 probably knew about this. I seem to recall that one of the Union active militia cavalry regiments had a detachment there for only a short period of time. I don't remember the time frame. I can assure you that the Union had no long-term station there and certainly no hospital or convalescent center. If they tried such a thing the place would be untenable. If Private Biggs has any connection with that area it would probably be some kind of relative or a cemetery where relatives were buried for a grave for Private Biggs. Is that possible?
