[RC] Correction on Morgan's Raiders - Nancy Reed

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.

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.
