Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Monday, September 2, 1861

 Passing down Cumberland Mountain, the three companies bivouacked at Camp McGinnis, on Wolf River, some ten miles north of Jamestown.

As I was sick of the measles, I remained for a week with one Mr. Lathan, who lived one mile from Camp McGinnis. One of my comrades, J. L. Thomas, remained with me.
