Notes:
Enlisted on 9 October 1861.
Mustered in 31 December 1861, Lexington, Kentucky
as Captain into what was first called Captain Hedges' company of the 24th Regiment.
Later named Company G, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry.
Reassigned on 5 July 1864 because of wounds received in action.
Discharged in 1864 of wounds received in the battle of Resaca, Georgia while serving under Sherman on the march to the sea.
A brief history of the regiment states "The 24th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized in the fall and winter of 1861, under Colonel Lewis B. Grigsby, and was mustered into the United States service on the 11th of December 1861 at Lexington, Kentucky, by Captain Bankhead, United States Mustering officer. Soon after its organization it joined the main army, and was engaged in many of the most severe battles of the war, and did arduous duty in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. It would fill pages of the Report to give in detail all the places trough which the regiment marched, and the various difficulties and hardships with which it had to contend. At the muster-out at Covington, Kentucky on the 31st January 1865, the recruits were transferred to Company K, 6th Kentucky Veteran Cavalry. It participated in the following battles, in which loss was sustained, viz; Shiloh, Tennessee; Siege of Corinth, Mississippi; Perryville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; Resaca, Georgia; Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Georgia and Jonesboro".
We can assume that Peter Thompson Hedges would have been in all of the above up to Resaca Georgia.

Notes:
MHR note: Ida Cronkhite said (in pink letter of 28 December 1949) she thought that “Aunt Betty” Hopper (Eliz. B.1820) who was found with the William Ribelin Hedges family in the 1870 census, was a distant cousin through the Armstrongs. She cared for her mother who died when Betty was about 25 years old. Malinda Hedges needed help, so Betty made her home with them. She got board and room and one third of the wool. Betty was so shy she put on her sunbonnet before coming downstairs and few ever saw her face. Lonely widowers found her not only unresponsive, but unwilling to talk to them. When 81 and nearly blind, she fell downstairs and died shortly thereafter. She helped rear the second generation and “Uncle Will” said she'd been a second mother.
MHR Note: Letter from Melissa Lucinda Hedges, to her brothers, William R. Hedges, James A. Hedges and Levi M. Hedges and sister Philora (Allen) Hedges telling of their father's death. This letter was in the possession of Anna (Hedges) Bagley, Purdin, Missouri when Mary (Hedges) Reiner visited her in 1940. The heading “at home” refers to the home of William R. and Malinda R. Hedges on the bank of the Licking River at the mouth of the Bluebank, Fleming County, Kentucky, in the part of Fleming County.
At home, December 1, 1885.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
It is with a sad heart I take up my pen to write the sad news of our dear father’s death. He departed this life Saturday, Nov. 28, at 25 minutes after six o’clock in the morning. After a serious illness of 12 day. He suffered more than tongue can tell. He lay in an unconscious state for several hours. He suffered greatly from the time he was taken. The doctor had to draw his water from him. Oh it was so hard to see him suffer so, but it had to be. Rose came to see him; staid several days then went home; came back after he was down. Ike got here after he was dead. Uncle Jesse staid with him all the time. We laid him in the old graveyard where sister Mary was laid, there to slumber till Gabriel’s trump and the voice of the Lord shall awaken the dead from the old churchyard.
I sent postals to you all when I found he was so bad, but I suppose it was not so any of you could come. He never talked about any of his children, but thought he could not live from the start. We done all we could for him but nothing done any good. He has done paid the debt we all have to pay and we can go to him; he cannot come to us; Oh how we miss him. Mother sits around and looks so sad. I can hardly bear it. She is not well. She send her love to you all.
My love to you all. Write soon as you all are very close together. I want this letter to be read by all. I would love to see you and talk to you face to face but we are far apart. Yes we are scattered – we are scattered, though a joyous band were we. Now this letter is for one and all of you. Write as often as you can.
You sister, M. L. Stenrod

Malinda Russell Cassity was born on 14 Oct 1805 in Montgomery County, Kentucky (daughter of Peter Thompson Cassity and Mary "Polly" Melissa Armstrong); died on 12 Sep 1887 in Rowan County, Kentucky; was buried in Three Lick Cemetery, Rowan County, Kentucky. Notes:
MHR note: Stories told by Ida M. (Hedges) Cronkite to Miriam Hickman. Malinda, daughter of Peter and Mary (Armstrong) Cassity married William Ribelin Hedges. "They used to say 'she lifted the limb of a tree it took two men to lift.' This is the true story. She and a small boy with his mother were hurrying to get home from a storm. Part of a tree blew down and caught the boy and pinned him down. Malinda lifted till the mother could drag him out. Next day two men went to clear the road and it took two men to lift it from the ground. This was my father's mother and he told me he had seen her lift an anvil off the block with one hand. She could weave four yards of jeans then walk four miles up hill to spend the night with a neighbor. When she was seventy, she was still spinning and weaving. The year she was eighty-two, 1887, your grandmother came with her to Illinois. They were two days on the train. There were four sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter to visit, all in Vermilion County, but hard trips between in horse and buggy days. Then a train to Montezuma, Indiana to visit two nieces. Then to Louisville, Kentucky, where the youngest son met her with a lumber wagon to take her over a corduroy road sixteen miles to his home. Back again to Louisville and then the train on home at the mouth of Blue Bank on the Licking River near Farmers, Kentucky.
"About a week later she heard there was to be preaching at Slaty Point. This was about three miles away. There she had gone to church all her life. They had no conveyance but hadn't they always walked? So she went. At the church she got sick and they took her to the nearest neighbor and a day or two later she died. She was eighty-two years old. At the age of seventeen she went from her father's home to her husband. She moved from the old house to the new and lived sixty-five years on the same farm."
