Your help is urgently needed in locating family/descendants for this man below:
A. T. Banta was a private in the 8th Kentucky Cavalry, CSA. He was one of
John Hunt Morgan's famed "Raiders".
On July 19, 1863 his regiment, along with John Hunt Morgan, engaged Union
troops at Buffington Island and A. T. Banta was killed. It is very likely
that his body is buried on or near the battlefield.
As you may have heard, the battlefield at Buffington Island is in imminent
danger of being mined by a gravel company, despite the fact that more than
60 men may be buried on the grounds.
I am trying to locate more personal information on A.T. Banta in hopes to
perhaps find family before it is too late. This soldier deserves to be more than just a mere name without a face or a person without a family that might
care enough to step in if they just knew about this travesty.
Any help or information you can provide would be deeply appreciated.
Cordially,
Marlitta H. Perkins
Spokesperson, Morgan's Men Association
and Eastern Kentucky Brigade, SCV
Officer, Buffington Island Battlefield Group, Inc.
