A local history source placed the attack at the James Kinnard farm on Pike Creek where the federal troops were loading up corn and fodder. The raiders got away with eight wagons, thirty prisoners, and 48 mules. A graveyard of those killed in the skirmish reportedly exists in a field that belonged to Stella McSpadden. This raid, however, probably refers to another encounter just after the Christmas eve raid (see note 7). See Eunice Pennington, History of Carter County (privately printed, 1959), 31-32.
