Note from David Crownfield:

Grandmother Laura's uncle John Kenly commanded the union defense of Front Royal, VA, against Stonewall Jackson in 1862. Kenly's regiment was the 1st Maryland USA at Hook's was the 1st Maryland CSA. The two units faced each other at Front Royal. Note that Kenly had a regiment, while Jackson had an army. This was the incident where Jackson went around the back of the mountain to get in the rear of the Union army under Banks. Kenly's defense slowed him just enough to let Banks cover his rear. Kenly was seriously wounded and captured. Exchanged, he received an honorary promotion to Brigadier General, though unfit for active duty.

One of Laura's uncles on the Hook side was a confederate soldier. (Whether Hook was in action that day at Front Royal I don't know.) He went home to Baltimore to see the family, and was caught out of uniform and sentenced to death as a spy. General Kenly appealed on his behalf to Lincoln, who wrote a note, "Let what Genl. Kenly desires be done. A. Lincoln" (I don't know if Grandmother's parents were already married at that time at but obviously there was already some association of the families.) The Lincoln note, Aunt Dolly told me, [is still in the Kenly family*].
