Annotation

[1] AD, DLC-RTL. No further reference has been found to the cases of Pryor and O'Hara. The case of Thomas L. Jones of Newport, Kentucky, is amply recorded in the Official Records (II, V, 247, 250, 296). Jones had been paroled by Governor Tod of Ohio and upon expiration of his parole was recommended to be released upon taking an oath of allegiance in February, 1863.
