On May 12, 1865, Brig. Gen. Wm. T. Wofford of the Confederacy arranged with Brig. Gen. Henry M. Judah, U.S.A., for the surrender of some 3000 to 4000 Confederate soldiers, mostly Georgians, who had not been paroled in Virginia, N. Carolina, and elsewhere. During the final negotiations, Wofford's headquarters were at the McCravey-Johnson residence on Church St., while Judah's headquarters were at Spring Bank, the home of the Rev. Charles Wallace Howard, 2 mi. north of Kingston. The Federal Commissary supplied rations to the Confederate soldiery.
