Notes

Note for: Daniel Wilson, - Index

Note: Not sure if this is the correct Daniel, but time frame is possible.
On May 22, 1861, two members of the Grafton Guards, Lt. Daniel Wilson and T. Bailey Brown went from Grafton to a rally in Pruntytown to recruit forces for the Union army. On their return that evening, the two men were ordered to halt by three Confederates, George E. Glenn, Daniel S. Knight, and William Reese, who were doing picket duty at the Fetterman Bridge where the Northwestern Turnpike crossed the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Brown answered their demands with pistol fire, injuring Knight in the ear. Knight fired at Brown, killing him almost instantly. Thus, T. Bailey Brown became the first casualty of the Civil War. A few days later, June 3, 1861, the first land battle of the Civil War was fought at Philippi, sixteen miles south of where T. Bailey Brown fell.
The Grafton Guards later became Company B of the Second West Virginia Infantry Volunteers. This regiment was later mounted and designated as the Fifth West Virginia Volunteer Cavalry.
Grafton remained in Union control throughout the remainder of the war. Isolated incidents flared up around the neighboring hills, but no other major military action occurred in the region.
