Morehead's cousin, George Work, appeared in Richmond in April 1864, 5 months after Morehead's death, as administrator of Morehead's estate seeking back pay ($770, which he got). In seeking confirmation of Morehead's death, the Richmond Hustings Court obtained an affidavit signed by two former acquaintances, William M. Bond and William P. Mount, who were present during Morehead's last illness in an unnamed hospital. Pugh attached a statement to the affidavit endorsing Bond as a "gentleman worthy of credit"; he didn't know Mount. Bond never saw Morehead actually die but was certain he did from "general information." So,the question is, in which unit(s) were Bond and Mount in?
