His father, Solomon Butcher, was also a native of Tennessee, a farmer and carpenter, who married Catherine Stevens, and they, with two children, moved to this region by wagon, purchased 160 acres, and made a good home and valuable farm. These parents had born to them eleven children.

Notes for SAMUEL KENNEDY:
1. Samuel Kennedy served in the 49th Indiana Infranty. A brief history of that unit follows:
During the closing days of August, 1861 and the following month of September, the nucleus of what became the 49th Indiana Volunteer Infantry entered "Camp Joe Holt", a rendezvous for troops, situated on the north bank of the Ohio River, and just west of Jeffersonville, Indiana. The 49th Indiana Regiment was organized at Jeffersonville on the 18th of October, 1861, and mustered into service at the same place on the 21st of November, 1861, with John W. Ray as Colonel. Beginning it's first march by crossing the Ohio River on the 11th of December, it marched through Louisville, Ky, into the interior of Kentucky, reaching Bardstown on the 13th, where it entered into a camp of instruction. On the 12th of January, 1862, under orders to reinforce General Thomas, who was watching the movements of the rebel General Zollicoffer, who seemed to threaten another invasion of Kentucky. The 49th reached a point five miles south of of Lebanon, when it received the news that General Thomas had defeated the rebels at Mill Springs, Kentucky, where the southern General Zollicoffer was killed. The Regiment preceeded through Lebanon, Crab Orchard, Mt. Vernon, London, and Barboursville, to Cumberland Ford, Kentucky, arriving there on the 15th of February. On the 14th of March a part of the regiment was engaged in a skirmish at Big Creek Gap, Tennessee, and on the 23rd of March, took part in an ineffectual attempt to take Cumberland Gap. It remained at Cumberland Ford for the remainder of the winter, until June, 1862. While at that place the regiment was severely scourged by disease, losing by death a large number of
its members. For a time scarcely a hundred men could be mustered for duty. In April, 1862, Governor Morton of Indiana, recieved word that 370 men in the 49th were sick and needing food and hospital supplies suitable for sick men. Nothing of that kind could be had there. On this same date, Governor Morton promised to send a good lot of supplies, and additional surgeons. Even with this aid conditions grew rapidly worse. An Agent sent to check on the Unit, in the middle of May sent back a report stating that only 377 men were then fit for duty, and 188 were sick and in camp. 321 were absent and on sick leave. They men needed Fruit, pickles, kraut, and potatoes, but most of all it seemed best to send them on furlough to Lexington. This was never allowed, however. Conditions grew even worse, and Early in June, 229 out of the 900 Officers and men could report for duty. Thier camp was in an unhealty locality,
and supplies were meager, and not fit for sick men! On the 12th of June it marched with General Morgan's forces toward Cumberland Gap, and on the 18th it occupied the Gap, the rebels having evacuated it the same day. The 49th proceeded to add to the strength of the already well fortified postion. In the month of August the rebel General Kirby Smith, with a strong force, came through the mountains, and succeeded in cutting off supplies and all communications in the Gap. At the same time supplies were already low in Cumberland Gap, and the men were in need of clothing. The regiment remained at Cumberland Gap until the night of the 17th of September, when General Morgan, whose army the 49th was part of, abandoned the works, and started it's retreat with General Morgan leading them through Eastern Kentucky to the Ohio River. During the march the troops subsisted mostly upon green corn. After a march of sixteen days, the regiment reached Greenupsburg, Kentucky, on the 3rd of October, from whence it moved to Oak Hill, Ohio. Going into camp at Oak Hill, Colonal John W Ray met up with the regiment, having been on detached service, and tendered his resignation on October 17, 1862.
