Thomas Newton MCCRIGHT was a part of the “Peace Party” movement that occurred in Wise County in the summer of 1862. The Peace Party was an organization of men made up by union sympathizers, prominent citizens and men of high morals.

The Peace Party concluded with one hundred and fifty men tried and five men convicted and punished by hanging in a clearing west of Decatur. Thomas Newton MCCRIGHT decided to join the Confederate Army rather than risk being put to death as a member of the “Peace Party”. Thomas Newton MCCRIGHT believed that by joining the Confederate Army he stood a better chance of returning home to his family. It was with the help of John H. MANN, Thomas Newton MCCRIGHT’s brother-in-law, that he came to his decision to join the confederacy.

 

He joined the Confederate States Army on August 26, 1862 in Decatur, Wise County, Texas, USA and served in Company K of the 15th Regiment of the Texas Cavalry with the rank of Private. He was captured by the Union as a prisoner of war at Fort Hindman, Arkansas Post, Arkansas on January 11, 1863. He died at Camp Douglas, a Prisoner of War camp in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA on April 7, 1863.
