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, Virginia 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 outbreak 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.
