Letters of John Howard McCue, 1852-1861

John Howard McCue's father was a prominent Whig judge and attorney in Staunton. His cousin, John Marshall McCue, was also active in politics and the law. McCue's great grandfather emigrated from Ireland to Lancaster Co., Pa., and moved eventually to Nelson Co., Va. McCue came from a family of ministers and lawyers; he chose the law as his vocation. McCue practiced law in Nelson Co. in Lovingston, just over the mountain from Staunton. His family connections and law practice carried him often to Augusta. He was appointed commissary of the Fifty-first Va. in 1861 and served through the war. His correspondents included John D. Imboden, Jed Hotchkiss, and various family members and friends.
