Clark County Soldiers

Many Clark County Confederates volunteered for Col. Roy S. Cluke’s 8th Regiment Kentucky Cavalry or Col. David Walter Chenault’s 11th Regiment Kentucky Cavalry (commanded by Col. Joseph T. Tucker after Chenault’s death). Both regiments were under the command of Gen. John Hunt Morgan. Many Union volunteers served in Col. Henry Clay Lilly’s 14th Regiment Kentucky Cavalry and Col. Sanders D. Bruce’s 20th Regiment Kentucky Cavalry (following Bruce, commanded by Col. Charles S. Hanson).

Explanation of table¾Death date is taken from the gravestone (n.d. – no date on stone). Where no gravestone could be found, date of death is given in italics, if known. If a Section is listed, the grave was found and photographed. Sections correspond to the current cemetery plan. Spelling of names was taken from the best available sources. The rank listed is the highest that could be documented from official records. While only one company and unit are shown here, many of these soldiers served in more than one. When comparing this work with Kathryn Owen and Ann P. Couey, Early Winchester Cemetery Inscriptions, the old section designations must be converted to the current cemetery plan, as shown below:
