Tombstones of Daniel Linder and Lydia Ann (Funk) Richardson located
in the Richardson Family Cemetery on a hill overlooking the site of their
log cabin. On Daniel's tombstone it reads "G.A.R. Co. I 10th KY Vol Inf
1861 ..." (note G.A.R. means Grand Army of the Republic which is what the
Union (US) Army was called then) Daniel served as a Sergeant throughout
the Civil War. Sgt. Daniel L. Richardson was 1 of only 29 men of
"Co. I" who were mustered out in 12/6/1864, of the men who were in the
original muster of 85 on 11/21/1861. The 10th Kentucky Volunteer
Infantry was in many bloody battles including Shiloh, Murfreesburo, Chickamaunga,
Atlanta, ... ** (Photos

The Rev. Daniel L. Richardson was a Methodist minister after the Civil
War, in Vertrees, Kentucky. |

* The log cabin was
lived in until November 14, 1947, when it was destroyed by a tornado! (from
account of Mr. Duvall, Nov. 1996, who is the current owner
of the property and who survived the tornado in the kitchen of the old
log cabin.)
** Report of the
Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky Volumes I and II (Frankfort,
KY 1866). The 10th KY Vol Inf. served under General Sherman and General
Thomas, the "Rock of Chickamaunga", to name a few. At Jonesboro,
GA , 9/1/1864, the 10th KY Vol Inf. "... was the first regiment to
break the rebel lines and captured the 6th and 7th Arkansas rebel regiments
and their colors"... Company I of the 10th KY Vol Inf., even with 7 replacements,
had the lowest number of men to mustered out 12/6/1864 of any company
in 10th Kentucky Vol. Inf. Regiment. (note: in Volume II, the list of men
in Co. I, mustering out has only 11 names, including DLR, but the official
tally shows 36 - 7 replacements). A Company I, 10th KY Inf.
(US) association has been formed by a descendant of one of the original
officers:
