James Madison CHEANEY felt that slavery was a great wrong even tho his father and relatives owned slaves. When the war came in 1861, he had a deeply-held feeling tht war was wrong, but he believed in the Southern cause. Instead of enlisting in the Confederate Army, he decided to work as a spy and as a carrier of needed supplies like Quinine and othr drugs for the troops. He had several narrow escapes; once he was forced to hide under a counter in a store while being pursued. Finally he was caught and sent to Johnson's Island.

DIGMAN, Richard - CSA
BUCKNER GUARD
In 1861 Richard DIGMAN joined the Kentucky State
Guards, and, in September of that year, in company with the National Blue, he
went into camp at Glasco, Kentucky. After camping there three weeks, the
company moved to Cave City, where, unanimous consent, it was attached to
Colonel Joe Lewis's Confederate Regiment. A short time after this, sixty-five
or seventy men, of which number Mr. Digman was one of them, representing
twenty-one different counties, organized what was known as Buckner's
Bodyguard. This Company was taken by Buckner to Fort Donelson, and. Before
the surrender, made its escape with General N. B. Forrest. It then became
part of General A. S. Johnson's command, and, at the battle of Shiloh, acted
as escort to General Hardee, and, during the engagement, in company with the
regiment of Texas Rangers, made one of the most desperate charges known to
have been made during the whole war. This Company was composed of the best
men of the army, and, as an evidence of it, when the company roll was called
at Shiloh, only one man out of the seventy failed to respond to his name, and
he because he had no horse. At the evacuation of Corinth, this command fell
back to Tupello, Mississippi, and in the fight at Richmond, had the honor of
taking in Mercalf's Cavalry, a most magnificently mounted and finely equipped
body of men. At Lexington they joined General Morgan, and fell back with him
to Knoxville, where they reported to Buckner, who had been exchanged, and
this was the last of the "BUCKNER GUARD.'

FELIX G EAKINS, son of John and Sallie (King) Eakins, was born in Henderson
County Kentucky on the tenth day of April, 1829. He was raised on a farm and
for twenty years worked with unflinching zeal for the parental head. At the
end of the time, the young man, embued with a noble ambition, backed by a
solid education, determined to stare the world in the face and fight life's
battles "on his own hook." To this end, therefore, he emigrated to the Lone
Star State, and there engaged in surveying, having secured a deputyship in
Robertson Land District, which embraced at the time all of the State of Texas
lying west of the Trinity River. He remained there until the year 1851, when he
returned and was married to Miss Maltilda D Weaver,daughter of Littleberry and
Eliza Weaver, then living in the Town Of Henderson. He returned the same year
to Texas, and followed his chosen profession, surveying, until 1853, when he
again returned to Kentucky. He began farming, coupling with it surveying,
serving as dupty to D N Waldon and Robert S Estin, both whom during his
deputyship were County Surveryors, elected and qualified. This he contued up

Mr Eakins was sworn in a Confederate soilder, and was elected First Lieutenant
of Company G., Tenth Regiment, Hentucky Calvery. He soon, therefore,
participated gallantly in engagements had at Madisonville, Owensboro and
Uniontown.
In October. 1862, he was wonderd in a skirmish at West Franklin, Indiana;
was captured, and confined in a hospital at Henderson until April, 1863. He was
then sent to Hohnson's Island, Lake Erie, where he was detained only a few
weeks and was from there sent on exchange. He was exchanged at City Point
Virginia, and was from there went by the way of Richman and Lynchburg, on to
Chattanooga, Tennessee, from hence via Tullahoma and McMinnvulle to Salt Lick
Bend, on the Cumberland River, where he rejoined his regiment. His regiment
was a part of the Second Brigade, attached to Morgan's forces, and was
commander by Colonel Adam R Johnson. There was no"rest for the weary," for no
sooner had he rejoined his regiment than the bugle called each man to his
saddle. Kentucky was invaded, via Glasgrow and Columbia, and at the latter
place considerable skirmish was had with the old veteran, Colonel Frank
Woolford, in which Woolford was worsted. Morgan pushed ahead in the direction
of Green River, to a point known as Green River bridge, and arrived there on
the fourth day of July, 1863. This palace was guarded by one thousand veteran
Union soldiers, a strong stockade and two line of brestworks, under the
command of Colonel Moore; a flag of truce from Morgan was sent to Moore
demanding a surrender, but Moore declined, giving as his reason, that it was a
day too dear to his heart of his counteryman-it was the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence-and to entertain such a demand at that time,
would be to turn his back completely upon his country. "Call some other day,
gentlemen, and I will be pleased to talk to you," was his reply. This, then,
was a signal for a bloody assault, and a bloody one it was too. The Second
Brigade of which our subject was a soldier, was ordered to charge; the charge
was made, and the Unionist were driven from their line of internchment back
into the stockade. Here they made a determined stand, and owing to the rough
and rugged surroundings, obstacles and all else operating against the attacking
party, there was a quick slaughter of not less than seventy-five men. The
Conferderatets then withdrew, and crossed Green River about one and a half mine
below the bridge. The command then passed on to Lebanon, where it encountered
General Mason and about three hundred Federals, who gave battle from sunrise in
the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, fighting from houses and
whatever else could be found in the way of protection, but finally Mason
surrendered. From Lebanon Moras passed through the State, striking the Ohio
River at Brandenburg, Mead County. Here two steamers were captured and the
troops transported across the Ohio River into Indiana soil. This crossing was
effected July, 8th, 1863, Company G. being the last company put over, and this
after midnight. This was Morgans's celebrated rain through Indiana and Ohio.
After crossing the Ohio and all things in readiness, the line of march was
taken up at daylight, the Second or Johnson's Brigade bringing up the rear of
the brigade. Between three and fourd o'clock that afternoon the command came in
sight of Corydon, Indiana, a small place defended by some four thousand militia
and soldiers, procted by rifle pits, and hurriedly made brest works. Company G.
of the Tenth Kentucky, Lieutenant Eakins, was ordered from the rear to make the
attack, which they did in fine style, beating the enamy in about fifteen
minutes. From there Morgan passed unmolested through the State and entered the
State of Ohio at a point called Harrison, Cincinnati was given the go by, only
a short distance to the right. That night the command rode one hundred miles
on to Vernon, where there was had a skirmish with General Manson. Morgan drew
off, and proceeded on until the evening of July 26th, until the Ohio River was
reached at Ceshire, where he hoped to cross into Virginia. Here an attack was
made by General Shyackelford, in command of a large force of Federals, whom the
Confederates fought until dark. Being entireldy out of ammountion, and not
hearing from the Commanding General, who had left some time before on another
expedition, the little band of which Lieutenant Eakins was then attached, sent
in a flag of truce, proposing to surrender. Seven hundred and twenty men
surrendered, and were taken by boat to Cincinnati, where they were kept in
prison for three or four days. One hundred and eighteen officers, including
Lieutenant Eakins, were then forwarded to Johnson's Island. a place familiar to
the Lieutentant, who had been there before. Lieutanant Eakins remained upon
the Island until August, when he was sent with other to the Western
Penitentiary, Alleghany City, Pa. where he remained until March 1864, when he
with others was sent to Point Lookout Maryland, where he remained until July,
when he was sent to Fort Delaware, an Island in Delaware River, between the
State of Deleware and New Jersey. August 1st, 1864, Lieutenant Eakins with six
hunderd others were taken from Fort Delaware and sent to Morris Island, in
front Charleston, South Carolina, and placed in a stockade, between Fort
Waggoner and Battery Gragg, under the cover of the Federal guns. The stockade
in which he was confined contained just one acre of ground. He and his
co-prisoners remained there under the fire of the Confederates guns or forty
days; fortunately none of the shells struck inside the inclosure. While none
ofthe prisoners we wonded by friendly guns, some of them were struck from guns
of the guard, which composed of a Massachusetts Negro regiment. Lieutenant
Eakins and his friends were given a dainty diet; for instance, one"hardtack-
a cracker about two inches square, half inch thick, one ounce of meat, not the
best, and a half pint of bean soup twice a day. He remained at this place forty
days and was then sent down to Fort Pulaski on one of the Tyber Islands, in the
Savanah River, with no change of rations until January 1st 1865, at which time
he was given ten ounces of sifted meal once a day. On that he lived from
January to February 1st, at which time there came an order for his immediate
exchange with others, and for them to be put on all rations. On the fifth of
March, he was taken on board of a vessel and sent to Nordfolk, Virginia. From
that place, and for some unaccountable reason, he was sent again to Fort
Delaware. Lieutenant Eakins and his comrades were nothing more than skeletons,
and a sad story as it may seem, fully three hundred died of starvation during
their uncarceration in Federal prisons, although the story goes, that Uncle
Sam fed well his enemis as he did his friends. Lieutanant Eakins was at Fort
Delaware at the time of the surrender and was held a prisoner until June,
1885, when he and four hunderd and twenty-five others were released after having
taken an iron-clad oath. He arrived home on the seventeeth day of June, 1865,
since which time he has rested in the bosom of a happy family, following
farming and surveying for a livelihood.
He soon, therefore,
participated gallantly in engagements had at Madisonville, Owensboro and
Uniontown.
In October. 1862, he was wounded in a skirmish at West Franklin, Indiana;
was captured, and confined in a hospital at Henderson until April, 1863. He was

effected July, 8th, 1863, Company G. being the last company put over, and this
after midnight. This was Morgans's celebrated rain through Indiana and Ohio.
After crossing the Ohio and all things in readiness, the line of march was
taken up at daylight, the Second or Johnson's Brigade bringing up the rear of
the brigade. Between three and fourd o'clock that afternoon the command came in
sight of Corydon, Indiana, a small place defended by some four thousand militia
and soldiers, procted by rifle pits, and hurriedly made brest works. Company G.
of the Tenth Kentucky, Lieutenant Eakins, was ordered from the rear to make the
attack, which they did in fine style, beating the enamy in about fifteen
minutes. From there Morgan passed unmolested through the State and entered the
State of Ohio at a point called Harrison, Cincinnati was given the go by, only
a short distance to the right. That night the command rode one hundred miles
on to Vernon, where there was had a skirmish with General Manson. Morgan drew
off, and proceeded on until the evening of July 26th, until the Ohio River was
reached at Ceshire, where he hoped to cross into Virginia. Here an attack was
made by General Shyackelford, in command of a large force of Federals, whom the
Confederates fought until dark. Being entireldy out of ammountion, and not
hearing from the Commanding General, who had left some time before on another
expedition, the little band of which Lieutenant Eakins was then attached, sent
in a flag of truce, proposing to surrender. Seven hundred and twenty men
surrendered, and were taken by boat to Cincinnati, where they were kept in
prison for three or four days. One hundred and eighteen officers, including
Lieutenant Eakins, were then forwarded to Johnson's Island. a place familiar to
the Lieutentant, who had been there before. Lieutanant Eakins remained upon
the Island until August, when he was sent with other to the Western
Penitentiary, Alleghany City, Pa. where he remained until March 1864, when he
with others was sent to Point Lookout Maryland, where he remained until July,
when he was sent to Fort Delaware, an Island in Delaware River, between the
State of Deleware and New Jersey. August 1st, 1864, Lieutenant Eakins with six
hunderd others were taken from Fort Delaware and sent to Morris Island, in
front Charleston, South Carolina, and placed in a stockade, between Fort
Waggoner and Battery Gragg, under the cover of the Federal guns. The stockade
in which he was confined contained just one acre of ground. He and his
co-prisoners remained there under the fire of the Confederates guns or forty
days; fortunately none of the shells struck inside the inclosure. While none
ofthe prisoners we wonded by friendly guns, some of them were struck from guns
of the guard, which composed of a Massachusetts Negro regiment. Lieutenant
Eakins and his friends were given a dainty diet; for instance, one"hardtack-
a cracker about two inches square, half inch thick, one ounce of meat, not the
best, and a half pint of bean soup twice a day. He remained at this place forty
days and was then sent down to Fort Pulaski on one of the Tyber Islands, in the
Savanah River, with no change of rations until January 1st 1865, at which time
he was given ten ounces of sifted meal once a day. On that he lived from
January to February 1st, at which time there came an order for his immediate
exchange with others, and for them to be put on all rations. On the fifth of
March, he was taken on board of a vessel and sent to Nordfolk, Virginia. From
that place, and for some unaccountable reason, he was sent again to Fort
Delaware. Lieutenant Eakins and his comrades were nothing more than skeletons,
and a sad story as it may seem, fully three hundred died of starvation during
their uncarceration in Federal prisons, although the story goes, that Uncle
Sam fed well his enemis as he did his friends. Lieutanant Eakins was at Fort
Delaware at the time of the surrender and was held a prisoner until June,
1885, when he and four hunderd and twenty-five others were released after having
taken an iron-clad oath. He arrived home on the seventeeth day of June, 1865,
since which time he has rested in the bosom of a happy family, following
farming and surveying for a liveihood.

EAKINS, Joseph William - CSA
JOSEPH WILLIAM EAKINS, son of John and Sally (KING)EAKINS, was born in the year
1840, in County of Henderson, and was educated in schools of Henderson and at
Franklin Collage, near Nashville, Tennessee. His life has been devoted to
agriculture pursuits, and to-day he is the possessor of one of the best
regulated farms in the country, lying a mile or more below Geneva, on the
Smith's Mills Road. He grows tobacco, corn, wheat and grass, and deals largely
in stock. He is strictly a buisness man, bringing to bear at all times a well
defined and well matured system of thought and action, that enable him not only
to meet the demands made upon him, but to lay by a handsome interest for the
so-callled rainy gay. He is a reader, fond of books, and a writer, is well
known by local writers as one well up in all he under takes. On the twenty-
fifth day of June, 1867, Mr EAKINS married Miss SALLIE POWELL, of this county,
a most estimable and loving wife, who gave to him as the fruits of the union
six children, Willie King, Sallie, Bettie, Joe Barnett, Mary and Robert Donald.
Mary the youngest daughter, died when she was only four months old. His happy
household, a bright blooming family of children. shedding a halo of sunshine
around the parental head.
Mr EAKINS joined the Confederate army when quite
young at Camp Coleman in Uniontown. He was captured at Morganfield, Union
County, October 21st, 1862, brought a prisoner to Henderson, and there
released. He is a man of positive character, but liberal in his views, and
humane in disposition. His attachments are strong, yet, he is firm in the right
as he holds it, and nothing can swerve him. He is personaily popular in his
neighborhood, so much s that he has been called upon oftentimes to serve his
percinct in the capacity of magistate. He has done simply as a duty he felt he
owed as a citizen, and not as a seeker. As an official he has always been looked
upon and regarded as one of the safest and most painstaking. His term of
service dates from 1879, and continues to this day. He was never a member of
the church, yet he holds to the faith handed down by the Saints. He is a member
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. and also of the Knights of Pythias.

JOHNSON, Adam "Stovepipe: Rankin Gen. - CSA
10th Kentucky Partisan Rangers

JOHNSON, ADAM RANKIN GEN.(1834-1922).
Adam Rankin (Stovepipe) Johnson, frontiersman,
Confederate general, and town founder, was born on February 8, 1834, in Henderson, Kentucky, the son of Thomas J. and Juliet (Rankin) Johnson. In 1854 he left the drugstore where he had worked since he was twelve and moved to Hamilton Valley in Burnet County, Texas, then the edge of the western frontier. There he gained a reputation as the surveyor of much virgin territory in West Texas, as an Indian fighter, and as a stage driver for the Butterfield Overland Mail.qv On January 1, 1861, he married Josephine Eastland of Burnet. The couple had
six children.
With the outbreak of the Civil War Johnson returned to Kentucky and enlisted as a scout under Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was one of the few members of the Fort Donelson garrison who escaped capture by evacuating the fort with Gen. John B. Floyd. His subsequent exploits as commander of the Texas Partisan Rangers within the federal lines in Kentucky earned him a colonel's commission in August 1862 and a promotion to brigadier general on June 1, 1864. One of his most remarkable feats was the capture of Newburgh, Indiana, from a sizable Union garrison with only twelve men and two joints of stovepipe mounted on the running gear of an abandoned wagon. This episode won him his nickname. When Gen. John Hunt Morgan and his men were surrounded on Buffington's Island during Morgan's famous raid, Johnson and his men escaped by swimming the Ohio River. On August 21, 1864, Johnson attacked a federal encampment at Grubbs Crossroads, near Canton in Caldwell County, Kentucky, before daylight; he was accidentally shot by his own men and became totally blind. After capture by the federals he was imprisoned at Fort Warren until the end of the war.
Upon his release he returned to Texas, where he lived for his remaining sixty years and founded the town of Marble Falls, "the blind man's town." He worked to develop the water power of the Colorado River, founded the Texas Mining Improvement Company, and served as a contractor for the Overland Mail. General Johnson died at Burnet on October 20, 1922. His funeral services were held in the Senate Chamber of the Capitolqv in Austin, and he was buried in the State Cemeteryqv there. His memoir, The Partisan Rangers of the Confederate States Army (1904), is one of the most interesting first-hand narratives of antebellum Texasqv and
cavalry operations in Kentucky and Tennessee and was selected as one of the "Texas Basic Books" by John H. Jenkins III. Thomas S. Miller, formerly one of Johnson's troopers, wrote of his old commander: "Paladin of old was not more daring and heroic than this Southern knight on the field of battle. No man in the Southern army, no matter how high his rank, displayed more military skill. . . . He was literally the `Swamp Fox' of Kentucky. [In spite of his blindness] perhaps no man has led a more cheerful and happy life."

Starling's History of Henderson County, Kentucky, page 657
At the age of seventeen years, enlisted in the Union army, a member of
Captain Cooper's battery of artillery. Failing to recruit the necessary
number of men, Captain Cooper's company was merged into Colonel
Shackelford's Twenty-fifth Kentucky Infantry. Upon the formation of the
regiment, young John was made Commissary of Company "F", and then Orderly
Sergeant of Company "D". The Twenty-fifth after the battle of Shiloh, was
consolidated with the Seventeenth Kentucky, Colonel John H. McHenry
commanding, and young Johnson was made Second Lieutenant of Company "E".
About this time he was stricken by partial paralysis of the left side and
was sent back to Kentucky. He was placed on detached duty of Park Barracks,
Louisville, as Adjutant. He was frequently engaged on special duty in
bearing messages and detective service. In August, 1862, finding his health
still impaired, he tendered his resignation, and, for seven months, filled
the position of mail agent on one or the other of the then Lousiville and
Henderson mailboats.

In April, 1860, he began the practice of his profession with Dr. Rufus
Linthicum, of Henderson County, and continued with him to the fall of 1861,
whom led by all his sympathies to side with the people of the South, he
entered the Confederate army and went to war. He enlisted with Colonel Adam Rankin Johnson and was with that distinguished commander in most of his engagements with the enemy, notably the terrible battle near Owensboro. He was with Morgan in his Indiana and Ohio raid in the summer of 1863, and was captured in Ohio. After his capture, the Doctor was sent a prisoner to Fort Delaware, where he was confined until the seventeenth day of the following November, when he and other physicians of Morgan's command were sent to City Point, on James River, Virginia, and there exchanged for an equal number of Federal surgeons. Upon reaching Richmond, Dr. Kitchell was detailed by the
Surgeon General to take charge of the Federal sick in Hospital No. 21.
During the winter he availed himself of the opportunity offered, attended
the Richmond Medical College, and was awarded a Confederate diploma. In
March, 1864, he rejoined the remnant of his command, but was soon after
taken sick, and, in May, his health being so much impaired, he returned to
Kentucky and again commenced the practice of his profession at Robards
Station, Henderson County.

At the breaking out of the war Mr. Marrs sold his interest in the drug house

under Colonel Adam Johnson, Confederate Army. During his army life Captain
Marrs was engaged in many skirmishes and several battles. On 1862 he with
orders, was captured and sent to prison at Evansville; from Evansville he was
sent to Camp, Morton, Indiana, where he remained for one year, from thence he
was sent to Johnson's Island, and a short time thereafter to Fortress Monroe,
where, in 1863, he was exchanged and returned to his command. At the close
of the war he returned to Henderson, surrendered himself to Captain Platter,
then in command to the post, took the oath, and from that day to this has
remained loyal to the Government, and proven one of the most successful of
business men.

MERRITT, Montgomery - C S A
HON. MONTGOMERY MERRITT
In May 1861, under the huzzas of the South for separation, his hot young
blood was kindled into a flame, and, without regard for his tender age,
enlisted in the First Kentucky Infantry, Confederate service, for one year.
At that time he was only sixteen years of age. He was engaged in many minor
contests, and, in the fall of 1861, was discharged from the service on
account of physicaol disability. He returned to his home and remained until
the fall of Fort Donnelson, when he rejoined the army, this time with
General John H. Morgan. He accompanied Morgan in all of his raids, and, in
a sanguinary engagement at Russellville, was shot by a Minie ball in the
shoulders. He was with Morgan on his Indiana and Ohio raid and was captured
at Buffington's Island, 21 July 1863. He was sent a prisoner to Camp
