Trouble in Missouri:
*February 7, 1864:
Marched to Widow Thomas' place, or Gunter Valley, in Howell County (Missouri). Learned here that there were several guerillas in the immediate vicinity, and that a small party of them had on the 6th instant hung a man by the name of Judd nearly to death. We pushed forward to the house of Mr. Judd, and learned from him that there were 84 men, under Captain Evans, about 10 miles from Thomasville (Missouri), awaiting our approach. We found that we could do but little with twice our number of men, whom we heard were well mounted and armed. Lieutenant Boyd dispatched our situation to headquarters at Houston (Missouri). The command encamped at Judd's, having marched 15 miles.
February 8, 1864
Scouted and foraged in the neighborhood; camped at Prock's having marched 10 miles.
February 9, 1864
About 7 o'clock Lieutenant Hillerich arrived from Houston (Missouri) with 50 men and one piece of artillery. We soon formed in order, intending to march for Thomasville, when a man came from that place and informed us that Captain Evans had found out that we were expecting re-enforcements and had started before daylight in the direction of Perkins' place, on Warm Fork of Spring River. We immediately changed our course intending, if possible, to fall in with Captain Evans; marched 24 miles, and camped at Roberts'.
February 10, 1864
Started in good time and marched to the Thomasville (Missouri) and Batesville road. Had gone about 1 mile when we saw 3 men coming toward us, who seeing us turned and ran. We pursued and shot one of them; the others escaped. We then continued our march toward Spring River Mills, and about 3 miles farther on we took a man whose name was Ben Carter; but he thought us Southern troops, and when the command came up he recognized some among them and immediately broke and ran, nor could he be made to stop until he was shot down...* **

**Unfortunately this record does not specify which male Judd was the object of hanging, so he is probably either Mark Sr., Mark Jr., Heman, Thomas or Obediah.
