From the Diary of Rebecca Bloyd (1838-1926) of Green Co., Kentucky
"November 6, 1864
This is a day long to be remembered on a cold day. The Greensburg Yankees, killed the Guerrilla George Wright, on that day he fought them, until he fell, mortally wounded. He died with in two hours after he fell. Having never been any Rebel Guerrillas thru here since that memorable day until Feb. 16, 1865. Guerrilla Capt. Marion, with fourteen men robbed old MR. DICK SKAGGS, JERRY SKAGGS, and Daniel Estes, Danel Williams and set fire to John Walkers house because he would not give money. They put it out themselves. They met Louis Bloyd, in the road and robbed him of $30.00 and robbed John H. Bloyd, they robbed Mr. Hagans store of $100.00 worth of goods. He had three ladys hats, they put them on and walked out and said "This is the way, we gay Guerrillas go." They then came on to James A. Howell and took some whiskey from him, they met Charlie Mat Buckner and robbed him, they come to James A. Scott and took from him a horse and broke his musket and told his family, I'm was at home. They would kill him for he had often reported to them as a Home Guard. Next they came to Gabe Warrens and combed his head with their pistols and took his money. They went out to Dr. Hazelwoods, there they stayed all night, there from Dr. Hazelwood, they took one pair of boots and one pistol. From the Drs. they went to Jim Edwards. Jim was not at home, they beat Mat and robbed him of his money and boots, took his hat, left ladys hat, in the place of one. They told the children to tell Jim, that if he would go to John Bloyd and surrender his arms to him and take the oath, they would never pester him any more. From Edwards, they went to Bill Lees and gave Henry a whipping. And took a quarter from old Mr. Lee, inquired for Bill Lee, said they intended to kill him. Mrs. Lee told them he had gone to Munfordsville, From Lees they went to George Drewens, they beat him and said they intended to kill him, then ask his name. He answered George Drewen. The Capt. immediately ordered his men out of the house. They all went out and then came back to the door and ask his pardon, for treating him so said they was mistaken, they was at the wrong house. They then left him and went to William C. Thompsons, they killed him. They shot him three times. They also killed one of their own men, for begging for Curly's life. The man was on his knees with one hand lifted towards heaven, praying for Curly, when they shot him and killed him. They burned up the house and everything in it. Shot Curly's two horses."
