RECORDS: Personal Writing From: Rich Nallenweg Date: Friday, December 24, 1999 THE GARRARDS IN THE CIVIL WAR IN LAUREL COUNTY, KENTUCKY Richard M. Nallenweg Rnallenweg@aol.com Daniel Garrard and L ucinda Jane Toulmin were the parents of a large family that lived in and around Clay County, Kentucky. During the Civil War this family played a large role in the wars events around Laurel County, Kentucky.Daniel Garrard (1780-1866) was the son of the second Governor of Kentucky, the Honorable James Garrard (1749-1822). During the War of 1812 Daniel Garrard led a Company of the 2nd Regiment of Kentucky militia in the defeat of the advance guard of British Major Muir near Fort Wayne, Indiana. Daniel was born in Virginia and during the Civil

War his loyalties may have been for the Confederacy: The Official Records (OR) of the Union and Confederate Armies ,Series 1, Vol 23, pt 2, pg 353. Letter from Major W.D. Hamilton to Brigadier General Willcox, 21 May 1863. Discusses how old Col. Daniel Garrard has aided a rebel soldier and how his house is the regular information depot for the rebel army in this county. The old gentleman is 80 years old; has one son a Brigadier General in our army, and another State Treasurer of KY... While Daniel may have been pro-South, his son Theophilus Toulmin Garrard (1812-1902) was a union officer. During the battle at Camp Wildcat in Laurel County Colonel T. T. Garrard commanded the Union troops until reinforcements under Brigadier General Schoepf arrived:

Camp Wildcat

(Ref: The American Battlefield Protection Program Webpage)

Other Names: Wildcat Mountain

Location: Laurel County

Campaign: Kentucky Confederate Offensive (1861)

Date(s ): October 21, 1861

Principal Commanders: Brig. Gen. Albin F. Schoepf [US]; Brig. Gen.

Felix Zollicoffer [CS]

Forces Engaged: Camp Wildcat Garrison and Schoepfs Brigade (approx.

7,000 men) [US]; Zollicoffer's Brigade [C S]

Estimated Casualties: 78 total (US 25; CS 53)

Description: Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer's men occupied Cumberland

Gap and took position at Cumberland Ford to counter the Unionist

activity in the area. Brig. Gen. George H. Thomas sent a detachment

under Col. T.T. Garrard to secure the ford on the Rockcastle ,

establish a camp at Wildcat Mountain, and obstruct the Wilderness road passing through the area. Col. Garrard informed Thomas that if he did not receive reinforcements, he would have to retreat because he was outnumbered seven to one. Thomas sent Brig. Gen. A. Schoepf with what amounted to a brigade of men to Col. Garrard, bringing the total force to about 7,000. On the morning of October 21, soon after Schoepf arrived, some of his men moved forward and ran into Rebel forces, commencing a fight. The Federals repelled the Confederate attacks, in part due to fortifications, both man-ma de and natural. The Confederates withdrew during the night and continued their retreat to Cumberland Ford, which they reached on the 26th. A Union victory was welcomed, countering the Confederate victory at Barbourville.

Result(s): Union victory

TT Garrard was later promoted to Brigadier General and experienced

many battles in the Civil War, including:

in a camp between London and Manchester. On 22 Sep 1861 this regiment

(later the 7th KY) was mustered into the US Army.

volunteers. Letter fr om TT to General George H. Thomas, Camp Wildcat -25 Oct 1861, Your aid arrived in time to save us from a certain

defeat...my impression is that we did not kill to exceed 16 and

wounded some 30 to 40. Many say we lost a great victory by not

pursuing the enemy. It is true, if we had have known as much then as

now we might have done wonders. This battle was a Union victory. OR,

series 1, Vol 4, pgs 310-320.

RICHMOND, KY, 29-30 Aug 1862. TT was Colonel of the 3rd KY volunteers.

Letter from TT to Major General Wright, Lexington - 31 Aug 1862, I

This battle was a Confederate victory. OR, series 1, vol 16, pt 2, pg

Another of Daniel Garrard's sons was also pro-Union. His son James

Henry Garrard (1810-1865) was State Treasurer of Kentucky during the

Civil War. James Henry Garrard's son Daniel Garrard (1841-1862) was a

Union officer who was killed at Vicks burg, Mississippi:

Series 1, Vol 10, pt 2, pg 9. Letter from Colonel J. A . Garfield to

Captain Daniel Garrard of the 22nd KY Vol, 5 Mar 1862.

Daniel Garrard's daughter Pauline Mountjoy Garrard Pitman (1833-1861)

had an occasion to help out her brother, Colonel T.T. Garrard:

CAMP WILDCAT, KY, 21 Oct 1861, TT was Colonel of the 3rd KY

volunteers. Letter from TT to G eneral George H. Thomas, Camp Wildcat -

19 Oct 1861, As the messenger passed the fork of the road, Mrs.

PITMAN told him the rebels said they had killed 1 of our men near

there, and they ought to have him buried... . This was in Laurel Co,

so there is a good chance that the Mrs. Pitman he refers to is

Pauline. OR, series 1, vol 4, pg 311

However, not all of Daniel Garrard's children were pro-Union. His

daughter Maria Pacheco Padilla Garrard Brawner (1815-1900) was pro-

Confederacy:

The Manchester Guardian , 2 Dec 1932 , History of Clay Co , letter

from Mariah P. Brawner to her daughter, Elizabeth (written at the

start of the Civil War), from Fugitives Retreat, Parken Co, Texas.

Maria is clearly pro South and is shocked that brother Theo is about

to fight against the South.

Another of Daniel Garrard s daughters was Eliza Ann Garrard Price

(1809-1902). She had a son Robert F. Price who may have been a

Confederate spy:

The Official Records (OR) of the Union and Confederate Armies,

Series 2, Vol 4, pg 649. Letter from Brig General George W. Morgan to

His Excellency Governor Tod, of Ohio, 10 Oct 1862, ... Robert F. Price is a mere scout and spy of the enemy, but a very dangerous one. He is the nephew of the brave and noble Garrard, colonel of the 3rd (7th) KY Regiment in the national service. This Robert F. Price may have died as a prisoner at Camp Chase, Ohio.

Any additions or corrections to this family history will be

appreciated! My wife, Ronda is a direct descendant of Daniel Garrard

through his daughter Sophia Garrard Reid (1830-1865).

(Research):Clara, An account of my ggg grandfather, Frederick Lincks (Links,Lynx)is that he was an indentured servant to Gov. James Garrard and at end of his term he hired to the governor's son, Daniel Garrard in Clay County, KY. Oral family history says Frederick Lincks lived with the Garrards and his duties were as an overseer of salt mine workers and a storekeeper. He was apparently very fond of the Garrard's and thought of Mrs. Garrard as a mother. I am curious as to whether you have run across any references to Frederick Lincks in your research on the Garrards in Clay County?
