Front row, seated, left to right  -  Dr. Benjamin Bell Scott, Co. F, 4th Ky. Inf. - 1st Sgt. George Edwards Johnston, Co. F, 4th Ky. Inf. - Pvt. Theodore Cowherd, Co. F, 4th Ky. Inf. - Pvt. John Walter Maddox, Co. A, 4th Ky. Inf.

Back row, standing, left to right  --  Pvt. James Bell, Co. D, 6th Ky. Inf. - Pvt. Wilson Pope Perry, 9th Tenn. Cav. - Corp. Ambrose Jackson Hall, Co. F, 4th Ky. Inf. - Corp. Holman Hardin Smith, Co. D, 6th Ky. Inf. - unknown.

Sources for the identifications  --  Theodore Cowherd was identified from his obituary photo, and A. J. Hall was identified by the Hall descendants.  Dr. Scott, George Johnston, and James Bell were identified by Mary Graves in the Central Kentucky Researcher Vol. XXV, No. 3, Fall 1995. Holman Smith was identifed by Marsha Smith-Hamilton and Tiffany Luchetta. Wilson Pope Perry was identified by Billy Byrd of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. John Maddox was identified by his gt-gt-granddaughter Millicent Copelan Arnold.

These men (except John Maddox and Wilson Perry) were all from Green and Taylor counties, and it is very likely that the unidentified men shown here were also from that area, probably veterans of either Co. F, 4th Ky. Inf. or Co. D, 6th Ky. Inf.  If you can identify any others, please contact Geoff Walden at geoff_walden (at) hotmail.com.

The copy of the photo reproduced here was kindly provided by Jeff McQueary, gt-gt-grandson of A. J. Hall.
