     "ADVENTURES OF A RED-HEADED REBEL" 49 [by Emma Voorhees Meyer, Georgetown, KY]
     Peter, the sun turning his always-tousled hair to an angry flame, was sitting on the kitchen doorstep, chin in hand, elbow on knee, think of John. The other members of the family were making a show of "business as usual." Mother ended breakfast in the usual way: she got up and washed the dished; father had gone to the field with the black men; another "red-head" had gone on an errand after busying himself making things around the house look nice ["T" was always putting things in order-- "making things look nice"]; Lewis, affectionately called "Boss" had gone to feed the colt, owned in partnership by him and Peter; Harry, little "Cottontop," was looking wistfully at a picture of Daniel Webster and had started into an extempore speech, which "Queen" brought to a sudden stop; Em was inside the house, busy at --. In fact, every one was busy but Peter. Peter had come out here to think of John. John had gone to the war!
     Letters from John told little, but, like the one received today, they left much to the imagination. This last one had affected the family more than usual, hence the busyness of being casual. John was "in Owen County." All the fellows from near Carrollton were "getting along fine." They had been "a little scarce of food" and were "eating parched corn," but they "hoped," etc.
     John was eating parched corn! He was in Owen County! Peter wanted to go fight with John. Peter said "Yes'm" to something mother said-- he had not understood her-- and walked into the "family room" where the old gun hung over the large open fireplace. He noticed the details the "summer bouquet" of cedar, cat-tails, and colored milkweed stalks that "Queen" had placed in the open fireplace. He saw the framed wax wreath Sister Nannie had made. Of these he was conscious as he reached for the old gun. He walked around the house, the old double-barrelled shotgun loaded with buckshot, over his shoulder. Peter was off to war! What the war was about, the sixteen-year old mind had not fully taken in, but John was eating parched corn, and John was not the only Vories who knew how to handle a gun!
     Walking across fields, it was necessary to set the gun down against a fence so that Peter could climb over. The fence was of rails and not too steady in getting over, Peter pressed a worn rail against the trigger of the old shotgun and with a startling report, the war almost ended for Peter before it had begun.

     *      *     *
     Peter was very tired. Gallatin County looked so small when he studied it in school. It was the next county to Carroll and Owen was just on the other side. It looked so simple, Maybe, after all -- (Note 1)
     But, John was eating parched corn! With renewed vigor, he walked around the bend in the road. He was face to face with some Yanks! "Well, well!" "This is rich." "Who is the soldier?" etc. "Going to fight for his country?" Then more directly, "On which side are you?" Peter was tired; that is why he shook a little. "I am a Confederate, sir." "Well, well." Consultation with others...... "Where are you going?" Peter was going to Owen County. "You are in Owen County now, boy;" and "Where did you come from?" "Carrollton." Consultation...... "Now boy, you tell us what message you are taking to the Confederates, and we let you go free." Peter wasn't taking a message. Consultation...... "Clever boy." .... Consultation..... If he wouldn't tell he would be taken and "put into jail." Peter slowly turned around, with head down when he thought of being taken back-- with head up when he realized that he was not afraid to say he was a Confederate. Anyway, he had reached Owen County.

     *     *     *
     Peter was placed in the Carrollton Courthouse. The jail was full of "Rebels," the main offices of the courthouse were filled with "Rebels," and this little red-headed "Rebel" had to be placed in a very small room. Guards were stationed in the halls and at every door.
     It was night. Peter hadn't gone to sleep at all. This was not the way he had planned to go to war. Peter noticed that the guard outside his door was nodding..... just pretending perhaps; ....no, he was asleep and had begun to snore. What happened to guards who went to sleep on duty? They were shot at sunrise... always at sunrise. Peter slipped quietly over to the sleeping guard and shook him. Awaking in sudden fear, the guard said, "What did you do that for?"
     "They will shoot you at sunrise if they catch you asleep."
     The next day Peter was questioned, but maintained that he was not taking a message to anyone. He was released.
     Peter went home.
     It hadn't taken Peter long to go over the ground he had covered on his first trip to join John, from whom another letter had slipped through to the home. A letter stating that he was still in Owen County, but farther away than when he wrote last. He had not written much. The letter ended: "So long, John." Peter thought of all this as he walked along the road, listening carefully that he might not be again caught and taken back to Carrollton. John hadn't said anything about parched corn, but, just the same, Peter was going to fight with John. The same old gun was over his shoulder. Peter was thinking; "I'm glad they let me have the old gun back. Guess they thought I would be too scared to try it again. Well, John--" Just then two Yankee soldiers stepped from the side of the road where they had hidden when they heard what Peter thought was a noiseless approach. (Note 2)
     When Peter came into sight of the Carrollton courthouse yard, he saw so many Yankees that his heart sank. They were leaning against trees. They were talking and smoking in groups. They were strolling about. All turned to see the approach of a boy between two Yankees. Some recognized the little redheaded rebel. Aha, he had been taking messages through the lines! Some said: "Hang him!" And with "Hang him," "Shoot him!" the crowd closed in around Peter as he was being taken into the courthouse. Beck Wilkins, wife of the jailer, hid the clothesline with which some "rebels," had been hanged.
     After some three weeks, Peter was called before some head officers for trial. Peter heard the name of "Jones," whom he believed to be a Yankee officer from Ohio, and the name of "Guillion." Peter was told that he was expected to tell the truth and to answer all questions put to him. Where was he going when he was arrested? "Up in Owen County." What was he going up there for? "To find John." Who in the thunder was "John." [Why, didn't they understand who John was?] "John is my brother." What was he doing up there? "Fighting." What was Peter going to do? "Help John fight." Was he taking any message to John? Was he going to tell John anything?
     "Yes, sir." .....They all crowded closer.... "Now, just what was he going to tell John?" "Well, that father is all right and mother is all right, but she cries sometimes; and that Harry was lots bigger than he was, and that 'T' had been caught smoking and had promised to quit." .....A pause... This boy was either telling the truth or he was dangerously clever... The head officers talked together, then questioned Peter until they were satisfied that he was telling the truth and that he was-- unafraid. Finally, on what side was Peter? "I am a Southern sympathizer, sir." "Hang him!" "Shoot him!" Then, in a rage, the head officer ("Jones"?-- "Gullion"?) -- turned upon the others, and said, "Turn this boy loose. I glory in his spunk!" (Note 3)
     This Red-Headed Rebel, a Carroll County native, was (Peter Hamilton Vories the 3rd) a direct descendant, in the male line, of Steven Coert van Voorhees who immigrated to America from the Netherlands in 1660. He was also descended from David DesMarest, the famous Huguenot emigrant, Lieut. Peter Montfort and other colonials. Among his Revolutionary ancestors, settlers of (now) Carroll County, were the following: Henry Banta Sr, Jacob Lamb, Levi Scott Sr, and Ambrose Garriott.
     Peter said that, during the War, he helped sink into the Little Kentucky River, beds and other pieces of furniture secured by chains and ropes, in order to hide them; and that, after the War, they were rescued little worse for the wear except that they were covered with mud.

     Notes:
     1. An examination of the map suggests that Peter's trip was from Carroll County across the border into Owen but at the time he described the way he said: "through Gallatin County." He knew all this territory well because he later lived in Owen County, 1st across from Sanders and later at Sparta which lies partly in Gallatin, -- Eagle Creek running through the town. Remaining single until he was 40 years old, he married Sallie Louise "Lewis" DeWitt who was 20 years his junior. He gave the ground upon which the Sparta Baptist Church was built. His four children were born at Sparta where he lived until he died in 1924.
     2. Peter said that, in a gunnysack, he was also carrying half a baked ham for John but that he never saw it again after the Yankees captured him.
     3. Peter never fought during the war but, as a "Southern Sympathizer" he ferried, across the Little Kentucky R..... Southern soldier..... for them. Whe.... about this in..... said: "Oh that w..... was done mostly .... often said that .... that the slaves w..... father owned .... would not leave.... they were freed.... was positive that.... the States had .... and that that wo.... be bad.
