On February 2, 1864, Major Nounan and company K of the 16th VA cavalry destroyed a Union cargo ship called the Levi. They captured General E.P. Scammon and Captain Pinckard. General Scammon was sent to Richmond, VA, but Pinckard was sent to Wayne.
Colonel Ferguson tried to exchange Pinckard for Spurlock, but the Union troops at Barboursville wouldn't trade.
Colonel George Gallup put together 275 troops from the 14th Kentucky Infantry and 150 from the 39th Kentucky(yes, the 39th that had been beaten by the 16th VA at Turman's Ferry). They left Louisa, Kentucky on February 14, 1864. They went to Murder Hollow and attacked the Confederates at dawn. About five Rebels were killed and 42 were captured. I do not know the names of the ones that were killed or all of the ones that were captured.
Colonel Milton J. Ferguson and private William Thompson(of company G 16th VA)were two of the one that were captured. Ferguson spent the rest of the war in prison camps as did Captain Spurlock. Private William Thompson died at Fort Delaware in 1865.
