On December 29, 1861, Confederate partisans attacked a company of the 1st West Virginia Cavalry at Sutton. After ammunition ran low, the Federals left with part of the Confederate force in pursuit. When the Confederates returned, they found the town afire. Reportedly begun when one house was torched by partisans attempting extortion, the fire destroyed part of Sutton.
