- Samuel Richard Churchill was four years old when his family moved to
settle in Emmet Township in McDonough County, Illinois in 1833. Remaining
there for four years, he was eight years old when his father died in 1837,
and his mother moved back to Hodgenville, Larue County, Kentucky with the
family that same year. Samuel Richard Churchill joined Company C, 2nd
Regiment Calvary, 1st Kentucky Brigade on September 25, 1861, not 1862 as
records indicate, at Green River, Kentucky as a Private. He was known to
have been captured and imprisoned at Camp Douglas, Illinois located near
Chicago, Illinois as he was imprisoned there as of February 10, 1863. It
is known that his younger brother Cadwallader Slaughter Churchill visited
him there at that time. Cadwallader Slaughter Churchill, who was residing
in Macomb, Illinois at the time of his visit, also visited another
Churchill relative imprisoned during the Civil War. This was John Seward
Churchill, the son of Armistead Slaughter Churchill and Mary Thompson
Street Brown, who was a prisoner at Alton Penitentiary at Alton, Illinois.
John Seward Churchill and Samuel Richard Churchill were double first
cousins as their mothers and fathers were full sisters and brothers. After
the Civil War was over, Samuel Richard Churchill settled in Lewiston,
Fulton County, Illinois with his two surviving children.
