HELLO! I FOUND YOUR ADDRESS RECENTLY WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON ONE

OF MY ANCESTERS. I AM INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF MASON
CO.DURING THE FIRST YEARS OF THE CIVIL WAR. AS THE STORY GOES MY
G.G.GRANDFATHER,JACOB JACKSON(MARRIED FLORA J. STEWART OF NICHOLAS CO.
KY., 11/16/1843.),WAS RECRUITED BY THE "ARMY" IN THE EARLY 1860'S AND
NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN. MY GRANDMOTHER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE
SOLDIERS CAME TO THE HOUSE AND ASKED IF HE HAD A GUN AND A HORSE. THIS
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT MY HAVE BEEN THE CAVALRY RATHER THAN THE ARMY. MY
PARENTS HAVE DONE SOME MILITARY RESEARCH TO SEE WHICH ARMY HE MAY HAVE
BEEN RECRUITED BY. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE
CONFEDERATE CAV. THAT HE JOINED UP WITH. WE HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO
(4) ENLISTMENT DOCUMENTS (CSA) THAT HAVE VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON
THEM OTHER THAN THE LAST NAME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MILITARY
ACTIONS TOOK PLACE IN MASON CO. DURING THIS TIME. I AM AWARE THAT
GEN.JOHN HUNT MORGAN'S CAV. WAS ACTIVE IN THIS AREA. PLEASE
PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE MIGHT HELP ME IN MY SEARCH.
THANK YOU IN
ADVANCE FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

SINCERELY,

DOUGLAS G. JACKSON JR.
