From draft copy, Descendants of Henry McKissick and Mary McCay, 1995, revised 2014, by W. LaVerne Paul, permission to copy allowed:
6.5 JOSEPH HARRISON KISSICK3 [William2 Henry1] a bar keeper, was born on 18 January 1836 in Hillsboro, Fleming Co., Kentucky, son of William Kissick and Rosannah Jamison. He was married on 3 January 1856 at Princeton, Bureau Co., Illinois, to Cynthia Ann Garvin who was a daughter of Samuel Garvin and Elizabeth Tabor. After the birth of their first child, they returned to Kentucky, and lived in Rowan County. Joseph was mustered in as a private in Captain Barber’s Company D, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry, at Camp Temple, Kentucky, on 31 December 1861. During August of 1862 he was absent from his company recruiting. This continued through 10 April 1863 on recruiting service, but reported as a deserter on 15 January 1863 in Fleming County. The times and record keeping during the war were at their worst and the label “deserter” applied to missing for whatever reason other than capture or death. In Joseph’s case, he appears to have gone about his recruiting assignment with some amount of success due to the length of time he was engaged. During the time he was reported to be a deserter, he was mustered into Company I, 40th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry. This was at Grayson, Kentucky, on 29 September 1863. Since he was being reported as missing from Company D of the 24th Regiment, it was not long before the 40th returned him. He was arrested on 31 December 1863 in Rowan Co., Kentucky, by the Provost Marshal, 9th District of Kentucky, and delivered on 30 January 1864 to the Military Post at Gatlettsburg, Kentucky. Reward and expenses were $20.68. He was tried before a General Court Marshal which convened at Bulls Gap, Tennessee. It was alleged that he deserted on January 25, 1863 at Tuscumbia, Alabama, and remained absent until apprehended on 30 March 1864. He was found guilty and sentenced to forfeit all pay during the time he was absent and to serve fourteen months in addition to the period of time for which he was originally enlisted. Immediate imprisonment, whether right or wrong, does not seem to have been taken. Joseph was returned to the ranks and whatever further actions his company endured. He was reported missing-in-action on 2 May 1864, and then captured 18 June 1864 near Kingston, Georgia. He was taken to Andersonville Prison, and later removed to Florence Prison, South Carolina, where it was reported he died on 15 December 1864. The location is contradicted by his obituary that states he died in Libby prison. Widowed Cynthia Ann moved back to Bureau Co., Illinois. She was the mother of two more children, Mary Olive and Marcus “Mark” Alexander, who took the Kissick name.
Widowed Cynthia was married on 14 March 1883 to Oscar Mead. Cynthia died on Saturday, 18 August 1906, and was buried in Prairie Repose Cemetery. [obit]
