I saved this article from the November/December, 1993, issue of "Blue Ridge Country" magazine:
"Elizabeth Howland of New Bern, NC combined undercover activities and doctoring. After studying medicine with her father, Elizabeth tended rebel soldiers taken prisoner in New Bern. Her home remedies often proved more successful than the conventional methods. With easy access to the men, she smuggled in much needed food and clothing."
"In one episode, Elizabeth secretly took specifications of a Yankee fortification. She took the paper, rolled it up and slipped it inside the hollow bone of a ham. Elizabeth wisely sent her young son and daughter, carrying the ham along with a bouquet of flowers to the Federal official and were allowed to pass, still clutching the fugitive ham."
There was no other family information in the article.
