Gilliam, age 18, was absent without leave from his infantry division on several occasions. He was captured by Captain Smith in England Valley where he had a dugout in a bank under a Mulberry tree. Thomas was brought to the south side of what was known as "Big Ridge" near the McNutt farm close to the Tennessee-Virginia line. Captain Smith's horse bolted and ran back up to the top of the ridge in a chestnut grove, where the McNutt family is presently buried. Captain Smith and one of his men went after the horse. Captain Smith, it was said, had given his men explicit orders not to harm Thomas Gilliam. While up on the ridge, Captain Smith and his charge heard a shot where the men had been left. Captain Smith told his companion, "There....... they've gone and shot Tom Gilliam and it will take my life to pay for it." Thomas Gilliam, age 18, had been shot and his body thrown into the folks of young dogwood tree, which stood until cut down in the 1920's. The land is still owned by the Lyon family. The death of Thomas Gilliam is on record in Scott County, VA. Captain Smith was later shot and his murders never found. historical rumor says that his body was thrown into a cave in the sinks (a sort of marsh), and was never seen again. iii.
