  • Notes 
    • According to a history of the Stringtown area of Grant and Harrison Counties in Kentucky, William was struck by a stray bullet while riding his horse in the vicinity of Cynthiana, Kentucky and died several days later. Morgan's Raiders passed through the area in July 1862. The first "raid" on Cynthiana was July 17th, 1862 which is the date of William's death. I don't know whether Morgan's troops were in the area around Cynthiana several days before William's death.
