I hope that John Stanton will pick up on your question and give a detailed answer. Otherwise, I am going to have to pull an old Surratt Courier out of the files.

About twenty years ago, I did a small article on Stringfellow and a piece of correspondence (or section from memoirs) in which he gives a description of heading south out of the city -- and it almost seems that he is describing Mrs. Surratt as his guide.

Here is an interesting article on Stringfellow for those who may not be familiar with the gentleman: http://www.myhenrycounty.com/frank-stringfellow3.php
