Durint the Civil War - "Soldiers of both Southern and Northern armies, at different times, were camped at the old Compton home place enroute to Wytheville and Battle of Cloyd's Mountain. Mrs. Compton held her saddle mare at the kitchen door to prevent it from being confiscated. A Northern officer told her to take it away so that as they left the soldiers would not take it. A servant in the home took it to the mountain for the night." [Source - "History of Bland County (Virginia)" by Bland County Centennial Corporation, 1961.]
