I had a number of Scobee, Dooley & Grimes kin riding under John Hunt Morgan's banner during the Great Ohio Raid in the 8th Kentucky & 9th Kentucky cavalry regts, & the 10th Kentucky Partisan Rangers.

My g-g grandfather Thomas Jefferson Stith faught with Morgan as well, as did his brothers. Thomas was an officer in the 1st Kentucky Brigade, and later served in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. The Stiths lived near Brandenburg, Kentucky ( in Meade County ), just 30 miles or so from where I live. There is an historical marker in Brandenburg noting the site of one of Gen. Morgan's raids across the river into Indiana.
