Jeff Mudd was from Marlboro MD. He was, IIRC, Doc Sam Mudd’s great grand nephew.he had a twin brother named Joe in a different unit on Ft Lewis. (It was Jeff and Joe that me and Gary and Griz went to SeaTac for the night that Gary and I got kicked outta the airport lounge for singing My Dingaling)😀
Jeff always maintained that Doc Sam knew nothing of the conspiracy
Dr Mudd merely set the broken leg of a person who was in an accident that night.
Found out later on it was Booth! And he had shot Lincoln!
Doc Mudd was convicted of being part, and sentenced to life imprisonment at Dry Tortugas.
In 1867 there was an outbreak of Yellow Fever, in which Dr Mudd was instrumental in containing. In 1869 he was pardoned
