On September 18, 1863, a band of 30 Confederate guerillas raided the town of Troy, robbing stores of about $1,000 worth of goods, pillaging private homes, and taking captive three residents and three 6th WV Infantry soldiers. In response, the Gilmer and Bone Creek Guards arrested 15 prominent area secessionists for prisoner exchange. Two of the soldiers died in prison.
