Well, I know one of them was Gen. John Hunt Morgan, during Morgan's Raid, July 1863!
The Newburgh Raid led by Col. Adam Rankin Johnson was in July 1862.
Hines' Raid, led by Capt. Thomas Hines in June 1863 was to prepare the ground for Morgan.

Sources: wikipedia articles on "Indiana in the American Civil War" and on the above three raids.
 
John Hunt Morgan, whose troops carried out raids from June 11, 1863, to July 26, 1863, in parts of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.

Thomas Henry Hines led a raid into Perry County, Indiana, on June 17, 1863.

Adam Rankin Johnson led a raid that captured the town of Newburgh, Indiana on July 18, 1862.
 
General Adam Rankin (Stovepipe) Johnson, CSA: July 18, 1862, Newburgh, Indiana
Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA: June 1863, "near the town of Derby, Indiana", Paoli and Leavenworth, Indiana
General John Hunt Morgan, CSA: July 1863, Mauckport then Corydon, Indiana

Great question, never knew all this detail

In 1862, Adam Johnson briefly captured Newburgh.
In June 1863 Thomas Hines led a scouting party through Paoli and Leavenworth.
In July 1863 John Hunt Morgan entered the state in Mauckport, fought a battle in Corydon, and eventually left the state by West Harrison.

With the outbreak of the Civil War Johnson returned to Kentucky and enlisted as a scout under Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was one of the few members of the Fort Donelson garrison who escaped capture by evacuating the fort with Gen. John B. Floyd. His subsequent exploits as commander of the Texas Partisan Rangers within the federal lines in Kentucky earned him a colonel's commission in August 1862 and a promotion to brigadier general on June 1, 1864. One of his most remarkable feats was the capture of Newburgh, Indiana, from a sizable Union garrison with only twelve men and two joints of stovepipe mounted on the running gear of an abandoned wagon. This episode won him his nickname. When Gen. John Hunt Morgan and his men were surrounded on Buffington's Island during Morgan's famous raid, Johnson and his men escaped by swimming the Ohio River. On August 21, 1864, Johnson attacked a federal encampment at Grubbs Crossroads, near Canton in Caldwell County, Kentucky, before daylight; he was accidentally shot by his own men and became totally blind. After capture by the federals he was imprisoned at Fort Warren until the end of the war.

Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA (October 8, 1838 – January 23, 1898) was a Confederate spy during the American Civil War. A native of Butler County, Kentucky, he initially worked as a grammar instructor, mainly at the Masonic University of La Grange, Kentucky. During the first year of the war, he served as a field officer, initiating several raids. He was an important assistant to John Hunt Morgan, doing a preparatory raid (Hines' Raid) in advance of Morgan's Raid through the states of Indiana and Ohio, and after being captured with Morgan, organized their escape from the Ohio Penitentiary. He was later involved in espionage and tried to stir up insurrections against the Federal government in select Northern locales.

On June 17th, 1863 Captain Thomas Hines and 62 Confederate cavalrymen crossed the Ohio River from Kentucky into Indiana near the town of Derby, IN. Hines was under orders from General John Hunt Morgan to recon the area and find out about what support the Confederates might garner from the local populace when Morgan would invade the state of Indiana less than a month later. Hines told locals he and his men were actually part of Union General Jeremiah Boyle's command searching for deserters and acquired some of the best horses in the area for his men from locals who thought they were supporting the Union cause. http://civilwartalk.com/threads/hines-raid-into-indiana.74872/

Following the Tullahoma Campaign he (Morgan) again received permission to enter Kentucky. On this raid from July 2 to 26, 1863, he violated Bragg's instructions not to cross the Ohio River. Crossing over into Indiana, he moved into Ohio, skirting Cincinnati which went into a panic. Pursued by cavalry and militia, he was finally captured near New Lisbon, Ohio, on July 26th - after most of his command had been taken prisoner. Confined in the Ohio State Penitentiary, he escaped on November 26, 1863. Placed in command in East Tennessee and southwestern Virginia the next year, he was surprised and killed at Greeneville, Tennessee, on September 4, 1864. http://civilwarhome.com/morganbio.htm

Edit - Except under very unusual circumstances, when there is a multi-part question, players must answer all parts correctly to get credit. No partial credits are given for getting one or more but not all parts correct.

Fortunately, in your case, you did answer all parts correctly.
