In November 1863, David S. Creigh, a well-known southern sympathizer, found a Union soldier ransacking his home and harassing his wife. In the ensuing fight, Creigh killed the man, then hid the body. Later arrested, Creigh was tried and, on June 10, 1864, hanged. His home, Montescena, was to be burned, but it survived the war and was listed on the National Register in 1975.
