Mutiny in Company D, 7th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry
Posted By Wayne on March 17, 2010
I have a muster record for Private Harry Francis claiming:
JAN_FEB_64 absent, under arrest 2/5/64, reduced to ranks from 1st Corp
I am puzzled as to what else may have happened on February 5th, 1864. If anyone has any clues, please drop me a comment here. While I wait, I’ll try to see if anyone else in the regiment had something in their records reflecting calamity.
Curious indeed. At one point I thought this may have been related to Captain Andrew Clark’s resignation but that happened the year prior. Quite the mystery.

[…] kindness of a friend I will be getting my grubby hands on the Court Martial records regarding the mutiny of some of the men in Company D! The whole kit and the kaboodle! Can. Not. Wait! Will post here once we get it all […]
I’m not sure what REALLY happened in regards to the mutiny…From what I have gathered several soldiers from Owsley County were upset that a fellow soldier from there was being punished…for what I don’t know. My great-great-great-grandfather Elisha Thomas was involved.
