COOK,
ALGERNON SIDNEY: Capt., Co. G, Res. of Carter Co., KY. Killed by Cleve |
|
Boyd
at Castlewoods, Russell Co. VA. The scourge of northeastern Kentucky
during |
|
the
Civil War, Captain Sid Cook was born in Russell County, Vir- ginia circa |
|
1832.
The notorious guerrilla was in reality, Algernon Sidney Lee, the son of |
|
Martin
and Fanny Lee. Changing his name to Cook, he married Nancy Fraley in |
|
Russell
County on November 20, 1857. His 26 year old bride was the daughter of |
|
Henry
and Mary Fraley. Cook later settled in eastern Kentucky and by 1860 was |
|
residing
in Boyd County. In addition to a son, Fletcher, was born about 1857 and |
|
a
daughter Elizabeth was born in 1859. Cook's household also included two |
|
stepchildren,
Rufus B. born circa 1849 and Louis born about 1854. Following the |
|
out-
break of the Civil War, he moved his family to Carter County. A brave but |
|
absolutely
ruthless leader, Cook organized a company of Confederate Cavalry in |
|
the
spring of 1863. His command was recruited primarily in present day Elliott
|
|
and
Morgan Counties but rarely operated with the main Confederate Army. Dave |
|
Cook,
the captain's brother (born about 1845), served as second in command. The |
|
younger
Cook earned an equally desperate reputation. despite his youth. Together |
|
they
terrorized the region between the Licking and the Ohio Rivers. The Cooks |
|
frequently
joined forces with other noted partisans, including John T. Williams |
|
and
Captain Samuel W. Thompson. Between April and October in 1863, the Cooks |
|
raided
Star Furnace (Carter County), Poplar Plains, Flemingsburg, Pennsylvania |
|
Furnace
(Greenup County), Olive Hill and Morehead, Kentucky. On or about April |
|
9,
1863, Dave Cook, Travis Kendall and others clashed with Home Guards near |
|
Grayson.
Nathaniel Marks, a member of Fields' Rangers, who frequently rode with |
|
the
Cooks killed Joseph Young during the fighting. He was later captured and |
|
hanged
at Louisville for the deed. Briefly during the summer of 1863, Cook's |
|
company
was attached to Lieutenant Colonel Oliver A. Patton's Partisan Rangers |
|
Battalion.
After Patton was captured his command fell apart and Cook joined the |
|
7th
Confederate Cavalry Battalion. The 7th, led by Lieutenant Colonel Clarence
|
|
J.
Prentice, was based at Pound Gap, Virginia. Cook, who continued to serve
on |
|
detached
duty, raided Paintsville, Kentucky on July 16, 1864. In January 1865, |
|
while
Prentice's battalion was quartered in southwestern Virginia, Cook's men |
|
terrorized
the Russell County town of Castlewoods. The local citizens were |
|
robbed
by the soldiers. The soldiers in turn lavished the spoils on several |
|
prostitutes
who followed them to the area. Led by a few Confederate soldiers, |
|
the
citizens rose up and burned out the brothels. Cook was killed by Cleve
Boyd, |
|
a
fellow rebel, during the clash. Cook's widow continued to reside in Carter
|
|
County
after the war where she earned a scandalous reputation in her own right. |
|
Carter
County court records reveal that she was charged with concealing stolen |
|
property
by Charles Kitchen in 1868.. Isom Davidson, the writer's ancestor was |
|
among
many local men who testified in her defense. While they agreed that she |
|
was
a "lewd woman" who was "friendly with too many men"
she was no thief! She |
|
disappears
from the records shortly afterwards, although her son Rufus B. was |
|
still
residing in Carter County in 1880. The company roster included with this |
|
sketch
was compiled from military records at the National Archives. These |
|
records
were supplemented by old court records, contemporary newspapers, and |
|
Confederate
pension records. John B. Wells' excellent article on Cook in the |
|
February
1985 issue of The Partisan was very valuable. This publication is the |
|
official
newsletter of Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp No. 1429 at |
|
Paintsville,
Kentucky. Please note that this list includes the names of those |
|
men
considered to be regularly enlisted members of the command. |

FULTON,
WILLIAM (WILBURN): Capt., Co. B. Previously served as Capt., Co. D, 5th |
|
VSL
and as Capt. of Co. A, French's Battn. VA Inf. On T. E. Davis' list of VSL
|
|
Officers
dated 2/28/63. Participated in Menifee's Raid on Piketon, KY in 8/62. |
|
Service
confirmed by depositions filed in Dils vs. May lawsuit filed in Pike |
|
Co.,
KY Circuit Court in 1866. Nathaniel Menifee mentions a Captain Fulton in |
|
his
command who led a company of Tories (Northern sympathizers) who took the |
|
oath
of allegiance to the Confederacy and joined his command. Menifee seems to |
|
have
been confused on this point, as Fulton later served under Clarence |
|
Prentice.
The Tory company was actually commanded by Alf Killen, who after his |
|
state
line service, joined Co. F, 39th KY (Federal). This may or may not be the |
|
same
person. Captain William Fulton, however, was mentioned on Document 35, |
|
listing
the officers of the VSL. Menifee's Capt. Fulton, however, returned and |
|
was
in the Federal Army by 2/22/65. PRSWVA p. 149, an abstract from the |
|
Charleston,
WV. Gazette for Sunday, August 23, 1953, indicates that prior to the |
|
war
Fulton was a storekeeper, but lost all he had during the war. He was |
|
captured
at one point, and scheduled to be executed as a guerilla but was so |
|
ill,
was spared because the Federals felt he was dying anyway. Res. of Boone |
|
Co.,
WV. The statement of James Harvey Long seems to confirm this speculation, |
|
stating
Fulton was his captain in Co. B, 7th CSA Cav. Bn. and that he had served |
|
in
the 4th VSL under Menifee. Fulton also served as Capt., Co. A, French's Bn.
