“The only battle that I know anything about was the battle that was fought near the present village of Welling. This battle was fought about three miles southeast of this little place. A group of Home Guards routed a small detachment of Confederate Scouts who had entered the Indian Territory and were stealing everything that they could carry away. According to Arch Scraper, who was a Captain of a group of Home Guards, a few men were killed in the skirmish. The Confederates were driven out of the Cherokee Country.”
Welling is in Cherokee Co a few miles north of Park Hill. I am sure these unrecorded skirmishes happened on a daily basis all over the territory, but I like to find written evidence like this.
