Campbell County Rebels
From Confederate Veteran Magazine Volume XXII page 396, published 1914
During a fight between the forces of John H
Morgan and General A S Burbridge, the latter's trunk was captured and among the
papers which it was filled was a list of "strong Rebel sympathizers" of Newport
Kentucky and vicinity who doubtless never realized their narrow escape from
imprisonment. The list was sent by Mrs. McArthur Rand of Bellevue
Kentucky, whose father was James M McArthur. The report was made by a
committee composed of C P Buchanan, Cyrus Campbell, James E Perry, W H Thomas,
William Kennett, Thomas Daniels, Oliver Stanley, J M Caldwell, and William
Caldwell.
