THORNBURGH FAMILY.
Lieutenant John Thornburgh was born in New Castle, Indiana, March 8, 1837, his parents being Jacob and Elizabeth (Hoover) Thornburgh. His father was a pioneer merchant of New Castle who settled at that place in 1825. During his brief life, aside from his regular business, he filled several offices of trust and responsibility. From December 12, 1828, to August 13, 1829, he was Sheriff of the county, having been elected to succeed Ezekiel Leavell, who resigned the office December II, 1828. He also served as a Justice of the Peace, his com- mission bearing date September 29, 1829. He was also a member of the State Militia, being First Lieutenant of Cavalry August 4, 1829. He afterwards became an Associate Judge of the County, being elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Anderson, and served from February 19, 1839 to the time of his own death, February 10, 1840. The vacancy occasioned by his demise was filled by the election of Gabriel Cosand.

HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
To Jacob and Elizabeth (Hoover) Thornburgh were born eight children, namely : Hiram, David, Oliver, William, Edwin and Calvin (twins), John and Jacob. Of these children, Oliver, William, Edwin and Calvin, died in infancy and all of the others are dead except Jolin, the subject of this sketch. Hiram Thorn- burgh, born April 14, 1827, according to the best information, was the first white child born within the corporate limits of New Castle. He died April I, 1888. During his life he was known to almost every man, woman and child in New Castle and no man was held in higher regard and esteem by his friends and neighbors. He learned the tanner's . trade under the late John Powell and afterwards succeeded him in business, conducting the same successfully for many years. Jacob Thornburgh, the youngest son, was born December 8, 1839 and died at Beatrice, Nebraska, August 1, 1859. He was one of the Darr-McDowell party to Pike's Peak in 1859, an account of which ap- pears in another place in this history.
Lieutenant Thornburgh's father, Jacob, came to Indiana at an early day with his parents, Walter and Mary Thornburgh, from the Lost Creek neighborhood, near Knoxville, Tennessee, and settled at or near Economy, Wayne County. Their descendants, many of them, still live in and occupy much of the territory north of Hagerstown, Wayne County, extending well up into Randolph County. Elizabeth (Hoover) Thornburgh, his wife, was a daughter of the late David Hoover of near Richmond and was born September 21, 1807 and died October 8, 1881. After the death of Jacob Thornburgh, her husband, she was married to the late Simon T. Powell and of this marriage were born four children of whom but one, Henry Lycurgus Powell, of New Castle, survives.
The David Hoover above mentioned came to Indiana from North Carolina and settled on land immediately north of Richmond and now within plain view of that city, in the year 1806. He was a man of large information and was early rec- ognized as a leader in matters touching the interests of the people of his community. He was one of the committee of three selected to find a suitable name for the site of the new town and it was by his suggestion that the name of Richmond was chosen. He was the second clerk of Wayne County and represented that county in the State Senate during the sessions of 1832, 1833 and 1834. His farm north of Rich- mond was entered by him in 1806 and is still in the Hoover name, being now oc- cupied by the widow of his son, David Hoover, and their children. David Hoover, the original settler in Wayne County, was for his time, a well educated man. He wrote a good, plain hand, could read the French language and render the poems of Robert Burns, like a born Scotchman. He was a representative man of the times, strong in his opinions and beliefs, and a position once taken, which he believed was right, he could not be swerved from.

HISTORY OF THE
FIFTH CAVALRY (90TH) REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Fifth Cavalry (Ninetieth Regiment) was organized at Indianapolis in the Fall of 1862. In the beginning of its service the regiment was much scattered. but the whole command came together in 1863 at Glasgow, Kentucky. In July, 1863, it started in pursuit of General John H. Morgan's Raiders, headed them off at Buffington Island, Ohio, and scattered them in every direction. After this service the command returned to Glasgow. In August it marched into East Ten- nessee with General Burnside's army, and was the first Federal regiment to enter Knoxville. Here it was employed in scouting across the Smoky Mountains to Greenville, Blountsville and Bristol, Tennessee.
During the Atlanta Campaign the regiment was engaged in all the important operations of General Stoneman's Cavalry. The regiment was mustered out of the service at Indianapolis in June, 1865.

HISTORY OF THE
SEVENTH CAVALRY (119TH) REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Seventh Cavalry (One Hundred and Nineteenth Regiment) organized at Indianapolis, October, 1863, with John P. C. Shanks as Colonel, and Thomas M. Browne as Lieutenant Colonel, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in December, and was sent from there to Union City, Tennessee, where it joined General Grier- son's Cavalry Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps. It took part in numerous engagements with the Confederates during the Northern Mississippi Campaign. After the battle of Okolona, Mississippi, the regiment moved to Memphis, Ten- nessee, and was there engaged in guard duty. In June, 1864, under General Sturgis, the regiment was in the disastrous fight at Guntown, Mississippi, and returned to Memphis, having suffered severe losses. In September, 1864, the regiment moved to Arkansas in pursuit of General Price's command, which was
223
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
then invading Missouri. Dropping this pursuit at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the regiment was transported to St. Louis and thence to Central Missouri, where it resumed the pursuit of General Price to the western border of the State. It returned to Memphis in time to engage in General Grierson's famous raid through Mississippi, which inflicted great damage on the enemy. In June, 1865, the regi- ment moved to Alexandria, Louisiana, and thence to Hempstead, Texas, where it was stationed as late as December, 1865, at that date being the only Indiana cavalry regiment in the service.
The regiment, from start to finish, was a busy one and was deservedly com- plimented for its steady valor and distinguished service. In the Spring of 1865 a number of its members, returning from Confederate prisons, were lost on the Steamer Sultana. The regiment was finally mustered out February 18, 1866. being one of the last of the Civil War volunteer regiments mustered out of the United States service.
Colonel Shanks and Lieutenant Colonel Browne, near the close of the Civil War, were each made a Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers, "for gallant and meritorious service." Colonel Shanks was also made Brevet Major General of Volunteers. After the Civil War Colonel Shanks and, subsequently, Lieutenant Colonel Browne, became members of Congress from the district which includes Henry County. Colonel Shanks had been a member of Congress before the war for one term, but Henry County was not then in his district.
Sergeant Joseph A. Young, of Company G, at the time of his enlistment and continuously ever since, has been a resident of Middletown. In 1887 he published a highly valuable book of one hundred and twenty-five pages entitled "Fall Creek Township, Henry County, Indiana, in the War of the Rebellion." The author is greatly indebted to this work for many facts and has drawn upon it liberally in his preparation of this history.
This regiment bore an honorable part in the following engagenients :

HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JOHN JACKSON HURLEY.
SERGEANT COMPANY G. 7TH CAVALRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, AND FARMER.
John Jackson Hurley is an old and honored resident of Delaware County, Indiana. He was born January 10, 1841, and is the son of Joannan and Arbena (Dipboye) Hurley, the former of Scotch and the latter of German ancestry, but both natives of Virginia. At the age of ten years Joannan Hurley accompanied his father to Delaware County and there worked at the carpenter trade in connec- tion with farming until his death, April 26, 1875. His widow subsequently married Granville Ellison.
John J. Hurley remained under the parental roof until July II, 1863, when he enlisted in Company G, 7th Indiana Cavalry and on September 5th, following, was mustered into the service of the United States. On account of the interest he had taken in recruiting the company and because of his manifest qualifications he was made Sergeant of the company, which position he continued to hold until his discharge from the army.
The history of the gallant cavalry regiment to which he belonged is the military history of John J. Hurley, to the time when he was disqualified for further service on account of wounds. In February, 1864, the regiment reached Memphis, Tennessee, and was soon thereafter ordered to a place in the same State, not far from Memphis, known as La Grange. Sergeant Hurley was detailed to remain in Memphis to care for the regimental property left behind and it also became a part of his duty to gather the mail for the regiment, as it arrived at Memphis, and carry it to the front. Early in May of this year, he started on one of his regular letter-carrying trips to the regiment and while he and several others were riding on the top of a freight car, they were attacked by guerrillas and Hurley was badly wounded. When the hospital at Memphis was reached it was found that he had twenty three holes in his clothes. although but two shots had taken serious effect. He suffered in all, however, four flesh wounds. He was confined to the hospital at Memphis for some time before he was able to bear removal further north. As soon as he was able to be removed he was trans- ferred to the hospital at Jefferson Barracks, near St. Louis, Missouri, and at that point he was discharged from the service on account of his wounds, February 14. 1865. He then returned to his home in Delaware County, Indiana, where he has since resided.
On January 12, 1878, he was united in marriage with Miss Melvina Shaffer, daughter of Berryman and Sarah (Gunder) Shaffer, both natives of Virginia, of German descent. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hurley, namely, Garland H., born January 7, 1879, and Berryman S., born April 5, 1881, both of whom are still living under the parental roof, assisting their father in his farming and other business interests.
The first purchase of real estate by Mr. Hurley consisted of eighty acres of land. near Daleville, to which he has added, from time to time, until he is now the owner of one hundred and thirty six acres of as good land as there is in Delaware County, all of it highly improved. Part of the land immediately adjoins the town of Daleville and there Mr. Hurley possesses a fine brick
225
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
mansion for his family and for himself and wife in their declining years. Fraternally, he is a Mason and for several years has held the office of Tyler of the lodge, originally located at Chesterfield, Madison County, but now known as Lodge No. 271, Middletown, Henry County, Indiana.
In politics he is a Republican and is a staunch supporter of the principles and policies of that party. He has not sought official position but has held the office of township assessor with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the people. Mr. Hurley is well known in Delaware County and the adjoining counties of Henry and Madison. He is highly regarded by all of his friends and neighbors. especially for his gallant service during the Civil War.
Mrs. Hurley has been a great helpmeet to her husband, taking a keen interest in all of his affairs. She is, however, a decidedly domestic woman, and the home over which she presides is known, far and wide, as one of the most hospitable in Delaware County.
