Humston (his father), Sarah Frances Lindsay, daughter of Abraham and Jessie (Bright) Lindsay, who was born in Trimble County, Kentucky, March 21, 1845. She died in 1924, and is buried at Turners Station, Ky.

Thomas Morehead Humston, the oldest son of Nathaniel Albert and Margaret Jane (Fanning) Humston, was born April 1, 1838 near Edinburg, Shenandoah County, Va., and went with his parents to Henry County, Kentucky.

At the outbreak of the War Between the States he enlisted Sept. 10, 1862 in Company E, Fourth Regiment Cavalry, Kentucky Volunteers, Confederate States Army, at New Liberty, Ky. He was transferred Nov. 8, 1862 to Company I of the same regiment. In the fall of that year the regiment was with Marshall’s and Morgan’s brigades, obstructing the retreat of the Federals from Cumberland Gap.

Moving back and forth through the South, the Fourth Regiment distinguished itself may times for its efficiency and bravery, being involved in forty-three engagements with the enemy, besides numerous skirmishes, and including one winter’s service under General Longstreet in East Tennessee and at the siege of Knoxville. “The Fourth Kentucky not only brought on the fight, they stayed and helped fight it out.”

News of Lee’s surrender reached the regiment at Christiansburg, Va. The men wished to continue fighting, but knowing the Cause was lost, they returned to Kentucky and surrendered at Mt. Sterling April 30, 1865.

Thomas Humston served throughout the war and was said to have been a daring soldier, often volunteering for scouting duty and being in many dangerous encounters with the Federals.

Shortly after the close of the war he was married and lived at Turners Station until his death. He was a carpenter, but also farmed to some extent. He died Feb. 18, 1915, and is buried at Turners Station, Ky.

117. John Thomas7 Humston, born 1842 ( Larkin Morehead6, John5, Edward4, Edward3, Edward2, Edward1 ).

Few of the tragic events of the War Between the States can contain the pathos surrounding the incidence of the “Palmyra Massacre”, the needless execution of ten Confederate prisoners at Palmyra, Mo.

One Friday evening in the fall of 1862, it was October 17, the men confined in the little prison at Palmyra were brought to attention by the entrance of a provost marshal of the Federal forces.

The Officer called out ten names. “You and each of you,” he announced, “ will be shot tomorrow at ten o’clock in the forenoon as a punishment for your crimes and in retaliation for the murder of Andrew Allsman.”

A 19-year-old youth was in the center of that group. He heard his name called and in silence he received the sentence of death. He was John Thomas Humston, a young man from Lewis County. He had been born there No. 1, 1842, the son of Larkin Morehead and Elizabeth K. Humston. He had been reared on a farm and at the outbreak of the war had joined the Confederate leaders who carried the Cause to Missouri.

Thomas Humston had been captured the eleventh of September by a scouting party of the State Militia. He was then a member of Captain Brown’s Company, but had previously been “out” with Porter.

He and his companions were not desperate men, yet now they were to be executed as punishment for their “crimes”!

They were rural folk who, when the time had seemed proper, had aligned themselves with the Southern armies. Their fate had been sealed by the death of Andrew Allsman.

Allsman, who was a citizen of Palmyra, had been captured by Col. Joseph Porter on September 12. His release was demanded by the Union general, John McNeil, and Allsman was discharged. Yet he never returned to Palmyra and it was eventually decided that he had been killed by a party of Porter’s men.

McNeil delivered his shocking ultimatum. If Allsman were not returned, ten of his Confederate prisoners would be shot!

On October 17 General McNeil ordered his terrible threat to be carried out the following day. McNeil has not been regarded kindly by historians. The memories of his deeds blacken the pages of his career. He directed W. R. Strachan, provost marshal, to select the worst5 rebels, those of prominence and rank, and to choose none who could not read and write, and who “did not know what they were doing when they engaged in bushwhacking.” The execution was to be as impressive as he could make it.

Although far from the concentrated armies of the North and the South, these orders where to command the attention of the world. Within a few days they were to be known in the army camps on both sides of the battle line, in the cabinet of President Lincoln at Washington, and in the cabinet of the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, at Richmond. They echoed in the capitals of Europe and the London Times commented at length upon this “touch of sorrow that made the whole world akin.”

Time has justly remembered th “half score of sainted heroes,” and today a monument stands as a tribute to them.

Strachan, knowing the history of the prisoners, busied himself and made out a list of ten men. Following explicitly the orders of his chief, he went to the jail and announced the sentence of death.

On hearing the words, nearly all the condemned men broke down. Some wept, while others sat praying, their faces buried in their hands.

It is said Thomas Humston seemed unconcerned. He even laughed! “A man has got to die some time,” he said carelessly, philosophically, “and I suppose one time is as good as another.”

During the death watch strong men sobbed and groaned. It was a night of anguish. Young Humston kept his composure. Only the distress of his companions affected him, he recommended the “not to take it so hard.” Some writers have hinted he perhaps did not realize his fate. Yet he sympathized with is companions! True bravery must be acknowledged. Thomas was not a seasoned soldier, but no trooper ever displayed more bravery and iron nerve than this boy. Too well did he realize his fate!

The long night wore on. One of the men said solemnly, “Let us pray again, all of us.” But Tom Humston had another opinion. “Oh, we’d all better go to sleep,” he said, “for we will have to get up early in the morning.” Outwardly his calm was unruffled.

But the prisoners had a few hours respite, for it was after 12 o’clock Saturday when government wagons carried the condemned men from the jail. Each man was seated on a rough, broad coffin. The cortege moved slowly over the principal streets of Palmyra to the fair grounds, where the coffins were placed in a row, and thiry soldiers drawn up in a single line facing them.

The doomed men knelt for a few moments between the coffins and their executioners and then resumed their seats on the rough boxes.

A few minutes after one o’clock Strachan came forward to shake hands with his victims. Some say that bandages for their eyes were “refused by all save Humston, who unconsciously took the one offered him, but a moment later, observing that his companions had none, threw his to the ground and firmly fixed his eyes on the executioners.”

The weapons crashed!

Only three men were killed by the first volley. One was not hit at all, but he fell forward with the rest. The others lay writhing, groaning. A new firing party was ordered forward and their pistols dispatched the remaining victims.

The deed was done. Ten innocent men lay in their blood.

The victims were sought by relatives, and Thomas Humston was buried near his home at Durham, Mo.

The monument erected in Court House Square, Palmyra, is constructed entirely of gray granite with brown finish, it is seventeen feet high, and is over six feet square at the base. The figure mounted on the pedestal is that of a Confederate soldier with a musket in his arms. The names which appear on the front side of the monument are: Capt. Thomas Sidenor, Willlis T. Baker, Thomas Humston, Morgan Bixler, John Y. McPheeters, Hiram Smith, Herbert Hudson, John M. Wade, Francis M. Lair, Eleazer Lake. On the north side are two crossed swords, on the south side the inscription, “ October 18, 1862,” and on the west side another inscription reading, “Erected by the Palmyra Confederate Monument Association and Its Friends, Feb. 25, 1907.”

Jefferson Davis’ letter: “Executive Office, Richmond, November 22, 1862. Lieut. General Holmes, Commanding Trans-Mississippi Department—General: Enclosed you will find a slip from the Memphis Appeal, of the 3 rd inst., containing an account purporting to be received from the Palmyra ( Mo.) Courier, a Federal journal, of the murder of 10 Confederate citizens of Missouri, by order of Gen. McNeil, of the United States army. You will communicate by flag of truce with the Federal officers commanding that department, and ascertain if the facts are as stated. If you are so informed, you will demand the immediate surrender of McNeil to the Confederate authorities, and if the demand is not complied with, you will inform said commanding officers that you are ordered to execute the first ten officers who fall into your hands. Very respectfully, Jefferson Davis.”

McNeil was not surrendered, and it should be said, in respect of Southern actions, that the ten officers were never shot.
