From Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series I, volume 34, Part IV.
p. 502. Col. A. H. Ryan, Commanding Lewisburg, to Capt C. H. Dyer, Assistant Adjutant General, June 22, 1864. “Major Lovejoy has returned from scout in Perry County. There was to have been a meeting at Doctor Hill’s plantation on Saturday last for the purpose of organizing the citizens in that vicinity, and after harvest to join Connelly’s company, who is now in the vicinity of Danville with about 50 men. They are the only organized force over there at the present time. Major Lovejoy went over last Thursday night and Friday morning with 80 dismounted men, marching 25 miles first day over the Petit Jean Mountains, in order to surprise the enemy, but news of their coming was carried to Hill by a man named Burroughs, a citizen who has taken the oath. The major captured 2 prisoners; the rest of the gang escaped. The men marched 80 miles of mountain country and returned completely worn out.”
