Notes:

From Genealogies and Sketches of Some Old Families, genealogy.com, p. 176-

From Lieutenant Welton's letter which precedes this we learn that Captain McNeill died from pneumonia about the time he was recovering from this wound. Captain John Hanson McNeill was born and grew up to manhood in Hardy County (now West Virginia). He was a son of Strauther McNeill and his wife, a Miss Pugh, and descended from an old family who were among the very early settlers of the South Branch Valley; was from the same family as Daniel R. McNeill, who was one of the most influential men of the valley; lived to be quite old there, and owned a fine landed estate near Moorefield.

This family came, no doubt, from Ireland to Virginia among the early emigrants. Captain J. H. McNeill removed to Bourbon County, Kentucky, when quite a young man, but lived there only a few years, and then removed to Missouri, where he lived until the war came on, when he went early into it in Missouri, and was captured and sent to prison, but soon dug out and made his way in disguise to his native State, as has been already stated by Lieutenant Welton.

McNEILL'S CAPTURE OF CROOK AND KELLEY.

After reciting the death of Captain John H. McNeill, who was accidentally killed at Mount Jackson, and stating that his son, Jesse C. McNeill, First Lieutenant of the Rangers, knew of his father's purpose to endeavor to capture Generals Crook and Kelley at Cumberland, General Imboden proceeds to describe this daring enterprise as follows:

General Kelley had his headquarters at the Barnum Hotel, and General Crook slept at the Revere House near by, in the heart of the city of Cumberland, then with a population of about eight thousand, and there were eight to ten thousand Federal troops in winter quarters in and around the city. Jesse McNeill had amongst his followers several young men who had lived in Cumberland. One of these, Jacob Gassman, had been a clerk in the hotel where General Crook slept, and another, Sergeant James Dailey, was a son of the landlord and a brother of Miss Mary Dailey, afterwards the wife of General Crook, and who was then probably engaged to him; and still another of his trusted followers was John B. Fay, a native of Cumberland, and so familiar with all its approaches and streets that McNeill had sent him a few days before the expedition, with a comrade, C. R. Haller, a mere boy, from Missouri, to ascertain and report the exact position of the troops quartered there, the locality of their outposts and pickets, and, in short, get all the information useful in carrying out such an enterprise. Fay performed his duty admirably, and reported to Captain McNeill en route on the night of February 21, 1865. Lieutenant Isaac S. Welton, fully the equal of McNeill in courage, ability, and intelligence, was second in command, and also entirely familiar with all the country round about and enjoying the entire confidence of the men.

There was snow on the ground and the night was cold. McNeill had set out to cross the river far enough west of Cumberland to make his way into the old National road and enter the city from the north, not likely to be closely guarded in that direction; but as they approached the river the night had been so far spent that there would be no time left to accomplish so great a detour before day-break. Finding this to be the case, McNeill called a halt and hastily consulted with Lieutenant I. C. Welton and Isaac Parsons, Sergeants Dailey, Vandiver, and Cunningham and Fay, and several privates, amongst them R. G. Lobb, Charles Nichols, and J. W. Kuykendall (Parsons and Kuykendall were volunteers from Rosser's Brigade), when it was decided to take the shortest route across and down the river to the city, and when challenged to answer, "Friends from New Creek," where a garrison was in quarters a few miles west of Cumberland, and then to ride rapidly upon the pickets and capture them, and, upon a threat of instant death, to extort the countersign.

This scheme was successful, and the countersign, "Bull Gap," for the night was obtained, and two or three successive outposts were passed, and the party rode into the city along its principal streets singing Yankee airs and songs and chaffing a few belated stragglers. Separating, a squad of ten went to each hotel. It was lacking then only an hour and a half until daybreak; no time could be lost. Passing themselves off as a company of Ohio cavalry with "important information for the General," each squad had no difficulty in imposing on the sleepy guard in front of the hotels; and making right for each General's room, roused him from his slumbers, and as he opened his door, it was to look into the muzzles of several cocked pistols and to receive the information: "General, you are a prisoner! Dress quickly and keep quiet if you value your life. Any attempt to give an alarm will compel us to kill you instantly. Keep quiet and go with us, and you will not be harmed."

Whilst this was going on at the hotels, Sergeant Fay with a squad of men were playing havoc with the telegraph instruments and wires. Along with General Kelley, his Adjutant General was captured. In detailing the circumstances of his capture and abduction, General Kelley told me in Philadelphia that he and General Crook were ordered to send to the stables for their best horses by an orderly or sergeant as if nothing more serious had happened than that they wished in person to make an early visit to the outposts to see that the officers and men were doing their duty. He said when he and Crook first met on the street they looked at each other with such an expression of bewildered astonishment that finally both almost simultaneously smiled, and would have laughed aloud but for a hint to keep quiet and ride "side by side" together with a Ranger on their flanks and a squad in front and rear, all with drawn pistols in their hands.

They went down the river, passing on the outskirts of a part of their army then sound asleep, and soon to a camp guard, and were challenged with, "Who comes there?" To which McNeill replied, "Company B, Third Ohio Cavalry, with the countersign, and we are in a hurry." Instead of requiring the countersign, the officer on duty inquired, "What's up?" McNeill responded, "Oh, old granny Kelley had a nightmare or bad dream that the Rebs are about to come down on him, and he is sending us out this bitter weather to scout the other side of the river. I sometimes wish they would catch him. Don't you think he is a regular old granny in his nervousness whenever he hears there are a few Johnnies across the river?" "Yes, I do! Every time I am put on outpost duty such weather." And away they went at a gallop. General Kelley told me that during this colloquy Crook, who was at his side, kept nudging him with his knee and chuckling at his expense.

A similar chat occurred at the last outpost they had to pass, where McNeill, still personating the Ohio Captain, said, "I wish that General Grant would remove Granny Kelley from Cumberland and put Crook in command," and in this wish the outpost officer concurred, when Crook laughed audibly and again punched Kelley's leg next to him, and from that time till they got to Richmond, Crook lost no opportunity to poke fun at him. But after they had crossed into Virginia, he said McNeill and all his followers treated them with the utmost courtesy and consideration, but compelled them to ride at breakneck speed to escape apprehended pursuit. The total distance ridden by the Rangers, from starting on the evening of February 20th, till camped in the mountains on the night of the 21st, was ninety miles, in about thirty hours.

Great was the consternation in Cumberland that day, and furiously rode pursuing cavalry, doomed to disappointment and thrown off the track by civilian friends of the young confederate rangers. As, for instance, at the farm-house where they dined and fed, not far from Moorefield, two hundred pursuers arrived not twenty minutes after they left, and the commanding officer inquired of the farmer: "How long since these men left your house?" "Only about an hour and a half ago." "Do you know how far it is to any rebel forces?" The farmer replied he had heard there were a good many about Petersburg (a village only a few miles distant). "Who is in command of them?" "A Mr. Smith was down with them at my place"(Colonel George H. Smith was then in command of my brigade). "When did you see them?" "They were down this way day before yesterday." "How many of them?" "I don't know, but I would think about a thousand." "A thousand! Did you count?" "Oh, no, I just saw them riding around and guessed at them." "Well, sir, look at my line and tell me how many men I have without counting them." "Well," said the farmer, "I should think you had about one hundred and fifty men." "How often does Mr. Smith come down here?" "He comes every other day." "And when did you say he was here last?" "Day before yesterday." "What time of day does he come?" "From one to two o'clock in the evening." (It was now after twelve o'clock.)

This interview seemed to convince the Colonel that he was needed at New Creek or Cumberland, and turned back thither. "Mister" Smith had but a handful of men anywhere near Moorefield, the rest of my old brigade being many miles further South wintering. This interview is given in a recent letter to Lieutenant L. N. Potts, acting adjutant of one of my old regiments, who vouches for its truth. It is a graphic illustration of the shrewdness under the guise of rural simplicity often shown by our non-combatant sympathizers during the war.

The only official reports of the affair on record are the following, which I give verbatim:

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, February 24, 1865.

Hon. John C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War:
General Early reports that Lieutenant McNeill with thirty men, on the morning of the 21st, entered Cumberland, captured and brought out Generals Crook and Kelley, the Adjutant-General of the Department, two privates, and the headquarters' flags, without firing a gun, though a considerable force is stationed in the vicinity. Lieutenant McNeill and party deserve much credit for this bold exploit. Their prisoners will reach Staunton to-day.

R. E. LEE.

CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND, February 21, 1865.

Major-General Sheridan, Winchester, Virginia:
This morning about three o'clock a party of Rebel horsemen came up on the New Creek road, about sixty in number. They captured the picket, and quietly rode into town, went directly to the headquarters of Generals Crook and Kelley, sending a couple of men to each place to overpower the headquarters' guard, when they went directly to the room of General Crook, and without disturbing anybody else in the house, ordered him to dress and took him up on a horse already saddled and waiting. The same was done to General Kelley. Captain Melvin, A. A. G. to General Kelley, was also taken. While this was being done, a few of them without creating any disturbance opened one or two stores, but they left without waiting to take any thing. It was done so quietly that others of us who were sleeping in adjoining rooms to General Crook were not disturbed.

The alarm was given within ten minutes by a darky watchman at the hotel, who escaped from them, and within an hour we had a party of fifty cavalry after them. They tore up the telegraph lines, and it required almost an hour to get them in working order. As soon as New Creek could be called, I ordered a force to be sent to Romney, and it started without any unnecessary delay. A second force has gone from New Creek to Moorefield, and a regiment of infantry has gone to New Creek to supply the place of the cavalry. They rode good horses and left at a very rapid rate, evidently fearful of being overtaken. They did not remain in Cumberland over ten minutes.

From all information, I am inclined to believe that instead of Rosser's, it is McNeill's Company. Most of the men from that company are from this place. I will telegraph you fully any other information.

Notes:

Reese McNeill was born either May 5 or 6, 1819. The original date May 8 was probably determined from subtracting from a newspaper article that did not give the precise date. Although Ms. Justman indicates that Reese's birthdate was May 6, the History of Saline County indicates that "Reese McNeill, farmer. Was born in Pike County, Ohio on the 5th of May, 1819. At twenty years of age, in 1839, he moved to MO, and staked out a claim in Grand Pass township, where he continued to live until 1853, when he removed to the farm upon which he at present resides, in the same township, about two miles west of Malta Bend. Mr. McNeill was in the Confederate army from the beginning to the end of the war, being in most of the battles west of the river, and in some east of it. He is one of the oldest citizens of this township. On the 21st of April, 1850, he was married to Miss Sarah T. DeMoss, who died in April 1862. To them were born six children, all of whom are now dead. He was principally devoted himself to the raising of wheat upon his farm, and has nearly always had good crops. For many years after settling here, he drove cattle to Ohio, and in early times, sold them in Ohio at from $7 to $11 per head. Mr. McNeill is an energetic, business man, a whole-soled neighbor, and a gentleman of the old regime, a race that is just dying out. During the war, while a prisoner in the Gratiot street prison, St. Louis, he was tried by court-martial, and sentenced to be hung; the sentence passed before it was discovered that he was the wrong man. The right man was his cousin, and he had escaped from prison, and was safe in Confederate lines."

Reese McNeill, private, enlisted under Gen. Joseph O. Shelby in 1862. Rejoined Shelby and disbanded in 1865.

Edwin V. McNeill was educated in the public schools of Macoupin County, Illinois, and Cherokee County, Kansas, and remained on his father's farm until he was twenty-two years of age. At that time he went to Colorado, where he ranched, mined and farmed for fifteen or more years, but in 1898 returned to Kansas and settled at Columbus, where he took up the study of law in the office of his brother, C. A. McNeill, and Al F. Williams. Admitted to the bar June 5, 1901, he has since carried on a general practice, with offices in the Logan Security Building. He is known as one of the thorough and capable members of the Cherokee County legal profession and during his fifteen years of practice has been identified with much important litigation. He has served as city attorney of Columbus, an office to which he was elected on the republican ticket. With Mrs. McNeill, he belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his fraternal connections include membership in Galena Lodge No. 677, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Knights of Pythias Lodge of Columbus.

Reese McNeil Sifford

If those who claim that fortune has favored certain individuals above others will but investigate the cause of success and failure, it will be found that the former is largely due to the improvement of opportunity, the latter to the neglect of it. Fortunate environments encompass nearly every man at some stage in his career, but the strong man and the successful man is he who realizes that the proper moment has come, that the present and not the future holds his opportunity. The man who makes us of the Now and not the To Be is the one who passes on the highway of life others who started out ahead of him and reaches the goal of prosperity far in advance of them. It is this quality in Mr. Sifford that has made him a leader in the business world and won him a name in connection with commercial interests that is known throughout the state. He holds the responsible position of superintendent of bridges and buildings for the Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton Railroad Company, and makes his home in Covington, OH. His birth occurred in Springfield Twp., Ross Co., August 14, 1842. On the paternal side he is of German lineage. His grandfather, Christian Seiffert, was born in Germany, and, as is seen, the orthography of the name has been changed in the later generations. After coming to the United States the grandfather settled in Pennsylvania, and later removed to Maryland, where his death occurred. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, and followed that pursuit in order to support his family, one of whom was Lewis W. Sifford, the father of our subject. He was born in Middletown, Maryland, February 25, 1810, and was a cabinet-maker by trade. When a young man he came to Ross Co., OH, and there wedded Mary McNeil, a daughter of R? McNeil who came from Virginia to OH, locating in Ross Co.. Mr. Sifford took up his abode in Liberty Twp., and later removed to Springfield Twp. the same year, and for some time the father of our subject was engaged in conducting a saw-mill and also surveyed land in that section of the state. He was a man of sterling character and of marked ability, and his oratorical power was of no mean order, and made him an effective worker in political campaigns. He served as county commissioner, was for four years United States marshal and at one time represented his district in the state legislature. On his retirement from the office of marshal he became resident engineer of the Ohio Canal Company. In politics he was a staunch Democrat, unswerving in his advocacy of the principles of the party. He held membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, and his life was at all times characterized by honesty and fidelity to duty. A man of imposing appearance and well-cut features, he thus gave evidence of his sterling character and at all times commanded the respect of all with whom he came in contact. His death occurred in Springfield Twp., Ross Co., December 20, 1873, and his wife, who was born in Fairfield Co., Ohio March 15, 1813, died in Springfield Township, Ross Co., October 5, 1876. Their children were Catherine, wife of James B. Mabury, of Kansas City, Illinois; Mary, wife of David Dunn, of Chillicothe, OH; Reese, of this review; Lewis S. of Lima, Ohio; Emma, who became the wife of Joseph Irwin, and died in Dayton, OH; John and Maria, twins; and William, of Wellston, OH.

Mr. Sifford, whose name introduces this record, spent his childhood days under the parental roof in Ross Co., Ohio, and in the public schools acquired a good education, pursuing his studies until eighteen years of age. He then served a two year apprentiship at the carpenter's trade, which he followed as contractor of buildings for some years, or until 1870. From 1870 until 1886 he was employed as foreman under the management of the lessee of public works of the Ohio Canal, between Columbus and Portsmouth, which position he held until 1886, when he entered the employ of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad Company, Dayton and Ironton division, between Dayton and Ironton, Ohio, filling the position of foreman of bridges and buildings for nine years, which he spent at Chillicothe, Ohio. In 1895 he was sent to Covington as superintendent of bridges and buildings on the C., D., & C. division of Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton Road, and has since occupied the responsible position, his knowledge of carpentering and mechanical arts well qualify him for the office.

In Ross Co., OH, December 24, 1862, Mr. Sifford was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Dunn, who was born in Scioto Twp., that county, June 16, 1841. Her father, David Dunn, was born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, January 31, 1805, and was a son of Andrew Dunn, whose birth occurred in Ireland. After coming to the United States he located for a time in Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania, where he made his home until 1807, when he came to the Buckeye state. He made the journey on foot, carrying in his arms his son David, who was then but eighteen months old, while his mother rode on horseback with a young babe in her arms. They first settled at Clear Creek, near Lancaster, Fairfield Co. and Mr. Dunn engaged in farming. About the latter part of 1809 he removed to Delaware Co., where he died at a ripe old age. David Dunn was reared upon his father's farm, and when he was seventeen years of age he started out in life for himself, going to Ross Co., where he carried on agricultural pursuits until 1865. From that time until his death he was a resident of Pickaway Co.. He was a man of strong constitution and retained his mental and physical facilities unimpaired almost to the last being able to read fine print without the aid of glasses until his death which occurred at the age of nearly eighty-nine years. He never used tobacco in his life. Mr. Dunn was twice married. In Ross Co., in 1827, he wedded Ann Musselman, who died in March, 1836, and later he wedded Catherine Raines, who died in 1874. The children of the first marriage were Mary and Andrew, who died in Kansas, and Susan M., who became the wife of Lewis Sense, and died in Iowa. The children of the second marriage are David, who lives in Chillicothe, OH; Mrs. Sifford; Ann, wife of Nathan McFadgen of Chillicothe; John, of Pickaway Co.; James, who died in Xenia, Indiana; Alfred, George and Nelson, who are living in Pickaway Co., Rachel and Jane who died in infancy.

Unto Mr. and Mrs. Sifford have been born eight children, namely; Ida May, who died in Ross Co. when young; Linnie Myrtle; Mack, of Dayton, Ohio who married Clara Davis and has one child, Leon; Annie; Lawrence T., who is a bridge carpenter on the Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton Railroad; Harry, of Covington, who wedded Erla, daughter of Thomas and Jennie (Cole) Hill, of Miami Co., by whom he has one child Dorothy Lovetta; Claude, and employee of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton Railroad Company; and Gertrude who is in school.

In 1863, while a member of the state militia, Mr. Sifford went with his regiment as first lieutenant, holding a commission under Govenor Tod, in pursuit of Morgan, who was making a raid through the state. He exercises his right to franchise in support of the men and measures of the Democratic Party, and socially is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Follows, of Chillicothe, Lodge No. 24. He owns a comfortable home on College St., in Covington, and is a highly esteemed and intelligent citizen whose extended reading has made a well-informed man. His domestic tendencies are shown in his devotion to the welfare and happiness of his family, and he manifests his loyalty as a citizen in his support of all measures for the public good.
