To his execellency Thomas E Bramlette Gov. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The undersigned citizens of Grant county, Ky, hereby remonstrate against a proceeding in the nature of a petition to your excellency in behalf of Samuel Hemen of Grant county, who was at the Oct. term of the Grant circuit court fined $75:00 for ordering rebel guerrillas to surround, break & enter the houses of loyal citizens, and forcibly take from them guns, pistols, knives and ammunitation ammunition and turning them over to the rebel service Sd Heman was one of the most active and desperate of the Gang organized in this county in the fall of 1862, And now says he was forced to do what he did, which is false, In August 1862 he took the oath required of a voter at Cadova precinct and voted, and when the rebel army came in on Sept 1862 voluntarily joined them and began the depredations above spoken of.
