"Ann Brown and her brother John were sympathizers of the South during the Civil War.John was reported as harboring rebel soldiers.Two squads of Union men were sent to bring John into camp or to deal with him as they saw fit.Nine men under Sgt. McClaskey went to where John was working in his fields, Calhoun Co., W. VA.They took him a short distance into a woods and after allowing him to pray, he was shot by every man of the nine.This tragedy strengthened Ann's sympathy for the South and added a bitterness to her feeling for the North which stayed with her as long as she lived.Ann's brother Thornsbury Bailey Brown, Fairview, W. VA, was a Second Lieutenant in the Union Army under Col. George R. Latham, 6th. W.VA. Cavalry.T. Bailey Brown was the first S. BA. soldier killed in the Civil War.He was shot in the evening of May 22, 1861, about 9:00 between Grafton and Fetterman, W. VA., by Daniel W. Knight, a picket of the W. VA., State Troops under command of Gen.. Geo. A. Porterfield of Jefferson Co., VA. T. Bailey Brown in company with Daniel Wilson was returning from Pruntytown, four miles away, where they dad been organizing a Union Co. They were called to halt by the picket.Words were exchanged, a quarrel ensued.Brown drew his revolver and shot Knight through the ear.Knight returned the shot, striking brown in the chest and killing him almost instantly.Brown's body was surrendered to friends the next day.No blame was attached to anyone.A bronze tablet marks the spot where he was killed.He was buried in the Nat. Cemetery, Grafton, W. VA.It can be seen readily that Ann Brown (Wolverton) had her share of sorrow and grief in these strenuous times.However, life in her girlhood days was pleasant.Ann's father, George Brown was a wealthy man and a slave owner, and it was not necessary for her to work - yet she did learn to spin, weave, sew, and knit.She was a slave owner in a limited way.Her Father, when she was married to Benj. M. Wolverton, gave her two slaves - Liza and Dandridge.When they were freed, they refused to leave her.In fact they remained with her as long as they lived.Even her youngest child, Benj. I Wolverton, my father could remember them.
