I'm writing from memory, which isn't good, but in gathering material on the CW in Randolph County, I seem to recall mention of the Putnam County Irregulars, or some similarly named group, who were apparently coming south to raid. This would have been in long-ago items in the 'Higbee News,' specifically a column written by a Thomps Dameron, sometime postmaster at Huntsville, who wrote on items from the county's earliest days. Huntsville, of course, is well known to many as the home ground of Bloody Bill Anderson.
