Hello Kent,
Luther and Pearl Poynter Acree were my great grandparents.Their son Ledford Morris Acree was my grandfather.
Luthers father was Jasper Newton Acree.He was a scout for the 1st Ky Cavalry and at one point was captured by the Confederate army and was bound for Andersonville Prison, when he and a fellow soldier escaped from the train they were on.From what I have learned from family and research, he was a wonderful human being.
He is buried near what was once the family farm in the Cork Community of Metcalfe County.
The site really needs some attention, so if you are interested in pitching in this summer, pay us a visit!
