As you know you can't believe a lot of what you read in The Bugger Saga. Maurice Pruitt was collecting "remembrances" for old people in Wayne and Lawrence County, TN and Lauderdale County, AL. Unfortunately, people's memories had a way of getting shaped by the political climate that existed in the area after the war. As I did the Factory Creek book I encountered many people who boasted that their ancestors had fought for the South during the war, only to discover upon looking at their old photos that their ancestors wore Navy blue. A review of Union Army muster rolls confirmed that every one of these good "rebels" had been "yanks." Almost everybody on Factory Creek and its many branches fought for the Union (there were some few exceptions, especially from the south end of the creek), most rode with the 2nd Tennessee MTD Infantry or with our G-G-Great grandfather Captain Henry Newton Lee in Company A, 10th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry. FYI, John Worthen lived way up at the head of Kilburn Branch near where our G-G-G-Great Grandfather Henry Lee lived. The only thing I have in my book about the Worthens in the war is that Isaiah L. Worthen rode with Captain Lee. Many, perhaps most, of the men in that company came from the head of Factory (and its branches) and the head of Green River.
