Notes

Born on Thursday between 1 and 2:00 a.m. -- Hale

"At the time of the Civil War, when General James Carson lived in the house ['Pleasant Green'], it is said he had a special drawer for his bottle in the wall of bookshelves and cupboards in the living room. James H. Carson was a prominent figure in Frederick County. He was active at Harpers Ferry and Winchester in the early days of the War as a commander of militia, and apparently accompanied General Jackson on the Romney Campaign in 1862. He served in the Virginia House of Delegates and then in the state Senate. 'Pleasant Green' was a hospitable meeting place for Frederick County and Confederate leaders." -- Bond, Marian Saunders.
