Biographical/Historical Note	Pennock Huey (1828-1903) was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the son of Jacob Huey, a farmer, and his wife Sarah. According to official records, he enlisted in and received his commission as full captain in the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry on September 17, 1861. He was promoted to full major on January 1, 1892 and to full colonel on June 25, 1863. On May 3, 1863, during the Battle of Chancellorsville, he led the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry in a desperate charge that resulted in the death of 3 officers and 30 men. A year later (June 24, 1864) he was captured at the Battle of St. Mary's Church and imprisoned at various locations near Columbia, South Carolina, including Roper Hospital. On December 9, 1864, he was paroled during a prisoner exchange and returned to the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry. On January 23, 1865, he was mustered out, and on March 13, 1865, he received promotion to Brevet Brigadier-General. After the war he married Elizabeth Waln Wistar and became a businessman.
