MORGAN'S RAID.
LETTER BY GRANVILLE D. HALL.
Recalling the list of the membership of the old-time first West Virginia Constitutional Convention printed in your columns several weeks ago, I have a note today from John D. Sutton of Sutton, Braxton county, West Virginia, mentioning that Gustavus F. Taylor, who was next to the youngest of the youngest group in that convention "Died but a few weeks since." Mr. Sutton's letter is dated January 11th, 1916. "So far as I know," Mr. Sutton adds, "Mr. Taylor was the last survivor of that convention." Mr. Taylor married in Wheeling, I believe, and resided there some years of his earlier life."
Mr. John D. Sutton, who favors me with this information, is the son of Felix Sutton, who was the founder and gave bis name to the city of Sutton, the present capital of Braxton county. Felix Sutton was a member of the first West Virginia house of Delegates which met in the Linsly Institute June 20th, 1863, to organize the then (very) new state of West Virginia. I remember him well, a man even then full of years (sixty-one or two) quiet, unassuming, thoughtful, brainy, gentle and kindly in his intercourse with officers and co !- leagues.
Mr. John D. Sutton mentions in his letter that his father joined a company for the protection of Wheeling and other towns against the Morgan raid. "I would like very much," he says, "if you would give me any information you may have in reference to that company, its officers, etc. My recollection is that the captain's name was Cramer, but am not sure. Father's discharge became lost. Any recollection of him or his service, either in the Legislature or in his brief military service, would be greatly appreciated. Father died in 188-4, in his 82nd year."
It was a memorable day when John Morgan was moving northward, in eastern Ohio, seeking a crossing of the river into West Virginia, and the "escape to the mountains" vainly enjoined on Lot at Gomorrah by the divine injune -. tion. Col. Leroy Kramer of Morgantown who became speaker of the second West Virginia house, quickly became the storm center around whom the mem- bership and the officership of the two houses quickly rallied, upon report that Morgan was seeking to cross at or near Wheeling. "Col. Jim" Wheat, a brigadier of militia. who ought to be vet well remembered in Wheeling, was the superior in rank, to whom all looked for information and direction. As the hot, dusty day wore on, it developed that Morgan had moved northward; and the aggregate legislative valor was later in the afternoon loaded into a steanı- boat, with a musket for each man (but no visible "munitions") and run up to Brown's island where rumor said Morgan was likely to attempt a crossing. We spent the night on board the boat. There was nothing to eat, and I don't think
171

anybody thought it worth while to be hungry. As I remember, my next chair neighbor was Mr. Lewis Ruffner of Kanawha.
For a long time I carried the remembrance of a good deal of the detail of this adventure; but it got away from me at last, and now I can speak only in general terms. The company was made up of all the members and officers of both houses. An old man whose name I never knew, who had been a regular attendant in the lobby of the house, went to work after the excitement was over and made up a list of the company which served under Captain Kramer. Then he prepared a form of honorable discharge for each man, certifying that the bearer had served his county in time of peril, and had this printed in good shape with, I think, a good display of Eagle and Stars and Stripes at the top. These he took to Governor Arthur I. Boreman, the first governor of the new state, who signed the discharges; and the old father of the scheme presented one to each of the heroes who had-as John Hay said of the Prairie Bell- "IIeld her muzzle agin the bank till every galoot was ashore."
I should mention that next morning, after a rather restless night, the ques- tion of the commissariat became more acute, and a party left the boat to ex- plore the neighborhood with a view to breakfast. There was a generous look- ing farmhouse near the river, just at the head of Holliday's Cove, where the party met a warm welcome as soon as it was found they were not Morgan's men. At first on their approach, the family was much frightened. "Big Bowyer," member of the house, from Putnam, walked at the head of the explorers. He was a royal looking grenadier, "six feet two" in his stockings, and wore a tremendous beard which fell down to his breast; while he had the broad shoul- ders which made him a truly splendid specimen of physical (and martial) manhood. When the family saw Bowyer in the lead, they thought he was John Morgan, and gave themselves up for lost. When the truth had been explained to them, the glad and generous family simply threw open all the resources of farm and family, and told the party to bring on their men, and they would feed all that came. And every one of the hungry men who had breakfast there that morning, if he were alive to tell the tale, would testify that this family did feed them up to the handle.
It is one of the many regrets a failing memory leaves that I cannot give the name of this family. I knew the name at the time and carried it many years, but at last it dropped out. The same is true of a farmhouse farther down the cove where. the Kramer Guards had their dinner. It was the same splendid hospitality ; and soon after dinner definite news was received that Mor- gan and his men had been captured farther north in Columbiana county.
To aid a failing memory of the details of this company, I cannot even appeal to the journal of the two houses of legislature, my copies having been lost many years ago. So far as the story is told, I give you the substantial truth, and regret the details which, once familiar, do not respond to my call.
I would hope, if such a thing were probable, that there may be some one

still living, within reach of this publication who could give other details. I have even forgotten the name of the steamboat which gave us sleeping accommo- dations that Saturday night-for it is my recollection the following day was Sunday. GRANVILLE D. HALL.

MAJOR DUN'S RAID
A raid made by Major Dun of the Confederate forces made a feint to at- tack Sutton. Major Henry H. Withers was commanding the Post with a por- tion of the 10th West Virginia Infantry. The Confederates approached from the south side of Elk, and crossed the river at the mouth of Granny's creek, and came in on the rear of town. The Federal forces were down in town, but the presence of the Confederates was discovered in time for the Federals to rally their forces, and the Confederates instead of rushing down from the hill back of the Baxter residence in North Sutton, and occupying the breastworks, they took out on the old road that leads to the Low gap on the Camden hill, and thence up through Boling green and upper Flatwoods, and on through Webster county. James M. Corley had loaded his goods in wagons and started them for Weston, and just as they reached the top of the hill, they met the Confederate forces, and they burned the wagons and what goods they did not want.
Major Withers took his forces and struck the trail of the enemy on the hill above the mouth of Granny's creek, and kept the hillstide between the ereek and the top of the ridge, and marched around near the Camden Low gap and stopped to reconnoiter, and as we were perfectly familiar with the woods, the Major asked the author to go ahead and spy out the enemy. We took through the woods, and came up with the command who had stopped to rest on the hill between the Pike at the Camden Low gap and the Baxter place. One of their soldiers had stepped out a little distance from the camp, and we saw him first, and having the drop on him, we ran him down to the Pike. Being so proud of our prisoner, instead of going back and reporting to the Commander where the enemy was, we doublequicked the poor fellow out the pike, and finally met two or three Cavalrymen and turned him over. We had no definite plan, but suppose if we had met no one, we might have gone on to Bulltown or Weston. We did not go back to report until the Confederates had gone several miles. If all the rest of the command had done as well as we had, there would have been about a man apieee for them. We have no doubt that the prisoner was marked a deserter which would have been a great injustiee.
BATTLE OF BULLTOWN.
E. H. Cunningham eontributes the following account of the battle of Bull- town from memory, after a period of over fifty years. Mr. Cunningham was
173
SUTTON'S HISTORY.
an eye witness of the battle. His father, Moses Cunningham, lived less than a half mile from the fort, and was wounded by a ball from one of the contending forees :
The battle of Bulltown, West Virginia, was fought on the Moses Cun- ningham farm at Bulltown, on October 13, 1863.
A part of the Sixth and a part of the Eleventh W. Va. Regiments, number- nig ghout four hundred men, commanded by Captain Wm. H. Mattingly of the Sixth Regiment, was eneamped on the Cunningham farm, and had the hill on the northeast side of the Little Kanawha river overlooking Bulltown for- tified. They had bomb-proof trenehes entirely around the hill. They had no eannon, their only weapons being shoulder and side arms. There was a Federal out-post and winter quarters; but they did not oecupy it in the summer.
On October 13, 1863, about four o'clock A. M., they were attacked by Colo- nel W. L. Jackson, a Confederate commander with a force of about six hundred men; they marched from the southeast through Webster county; the attacking army divided at Falls Mill, a distance of three miles up the river, and to the southeast of Bulltown where Major Kessler with about half of the command tock the right wing and was to attack the Federal intrenchments from the northeast, while Colonel Jackson with the left wing was to attack from the southwest.
Jackson's position was on the opposite side of the river from the Federal fortification, and on ground of almost exactly the same elevation as that which the Federals held; Jackson held this position throughout the battle, and did not cross the river.
Jaekson had one cannon, a Howitzer which shot a three-pound shell, and was carried on a mule (called the Jackass battery).
Kessler and Jackson were to attack at the same time, Jackson to fire his cannon as a signal for Kessler to charge, but Kessler did not wait for the sig- nal, and attacked before Jackson arrived at his designated position. The bat- tle continued at intervals until about four o'clock P. M., when the Confederates became worn and retreated southwestward along the Weston and Gauley Bridge Pike.
Seven Confederates were killed and four wounded; the wounded were John Sumpter, William Benson and Allen T. Weese, privates, and Lieutenant Norris. The retreating army took Wecse with them, but he died and was buried on Big Run, three miles from Bulltown. Lieutenant Norris was shot in the el- bow, and was eared for at the home of Moses Cunningham. William Benson also had a limb broken, and was cared for at the home of P. B. Berry. As soon as Sumpter and Benson were able to travel, they were taken to prison by the Federals. (Benson afterward became a Protestant preaeher.)
The seven Confederates who were killed were buried on the battle field. but in 1889 a southerner had them removed and buried on his farm on the west side of the river, and had a eut stone plaeed around the grave. all being placed in one grave.
174
SUTTON'S HISTORY
None of the Federals were killed and only two wounded. Captain Mat- tingly was wounded, and the command fell on Captain Simpson. Lieutenant Holt was also wounded, but neither wound was serious. Captain Mattingly was shot in a lower limb and Lieutenant Holt was shot in the top of the shoulder.
After Captain Simmons took command, the Confederates put up a flag of truee and sent a message to Captain Simpson, asking him to surrender, but Simpson answered baek that he would fight them until Hell froze over, and if he had to retreat he would retreat on ice.
The retreating Confederates eneamped for the night at Salt Liek Bride, five miles to the southwest of Bulltown. The same night a company of cavalry eom- manded by major Howes, of the Fourth W. Va. Cavalry, marehed from Weston to Bulltown, where they eneamped for the night, and on the morning of October 14th, Major Howes marehed his men to Salt Lick Bridge to attack Jackson. Jaekson was behind a stone wall on the southwest side of Salt Liek ereek. Howes did not eross the creek, but after firing a few shots, he returned with his command to Weston, and Jackson marched toward Sutton. No one was killed or wounded in this skirmish at Salt Liek Bridge. Jackson retreated on to Pocahontas County.
A short time after the battle, the Federals at Bulltown proeured a eannon that would shoot a six-pound hall or shell.
CIVIL WAR.
West Virginia furnished 36,500 soldiers for the Union, and about 7,000 for the Confederate armies. In addition to these, there were 32 companies of troops in the state serviee, some counties having one company, some two. Their duty was to seout, and to protect the people against guerrillas. The majority of them were organized in 1863 and 1864. These companies with their eaptains were as follows :

HOME GUARDS OF '61.
In 1861, when the Federal Troops came to Sutton, Samuel A. Rollyson organized a company of Home Guards. This company was composed princi- pally of men living in the lower end of the county. They were recognized by the Federal authorities, and drew rations and arms from the Government. Cap- tain Rollyson resigned, and was commissioned First Lieutenant of Company F, 10th W. Va. Infantry, May 29, 1862.
Michael Rollyson organized, and was made captain of the Home Guards under the reorganized government of West Virginia. This company was com- posed principally of the men who had served in the first organization. Cap- tain Rollyson was commissioned Dec. 1, 1863, and served until Aug. 5, 1864.
The company was re-organized, and G. F. Taylor was commissioned Cap- tain of the W. Va. Scouts under the laws of West Virginia in 1864, and served until 1865, at the close of the war.
We have been able through the records in the Department of Archives at Charleston, to obtain the names of the men who served in one or more of the different companies named. Some of Captain Taylor's men served in Samuel A. Rollyson's company, and also in Captain Michael Rollyson's company. Quite a number that composed the First Home Guards, volunteered in Com- pany F, Tenth W. Va. Volunteer Infantry. James Carr, a veteran of the War of 1812, was a member of Michael Rollyson's company. Wm. D. Rollyson was commissioned Major of Independent Company Scouts in the service of the state of W. Va., under date of May 16, 1864, to rank from May 6, 1864, under general orders No. 7.
The records give in addition to the commissioned officers noted, the names
