My
great-great Grandmother, who I am named after, also lived in the same area. My aunt has an old newspaper clipping
about this very incident.The story
goes she hid in a creek w/ her horse to avoid capture and subsequent loss of
the horse.I'll ask my aunt for a
copy of the clipping tonight.

Re: [RC]Correction on
Morgan's Raiders
Morgan's
Raiders came through our area of southern Ohio
and left many, =
many
stories. We have a village named Morgantown,
now. It is on Morgan's =
Fork road.
They
flew through here like a plague. Frightening the locals and burning =
barns,
houses, and bridges. Amazing endurance. They were only
here for a =
day
and rode the length of our county. Some thirty miles.
