My great-great grandparents, William Andrew and Mary Mann Greenfield, were killed by guerillas in Brandenburg Kentucky during the Civil War. (my great grandma was just a baby) I think I found their killers.
Confederate Captain William Hardin “Guerilla Bill” Davison is buried here. (Col. Lee Sypert’s Confederate Partisan Rangers, later Davison’s Hyenas) He died March 7, 1865 from a gunshot wound in a firefight with Union Home Guard, February 24, 1865, near Patesville. Davison led a band of rebel guerrillas that raided towns from Brandenburg to Owensboro in 1864.
