Turns out I might have been wrong this was written by a Goldsmith Descendant whose ancestors were from Pitts Point
During the Civil War Pitts Point was regarded as a Union town since several
of the young men from there went to fight for the Union. In 1865 a band of
Confederate guerrillas led by two Wiggington brothers attacked the town
causing a lot of damage. During the fighting one of the Wiggington brothers
was killed. I am sure that Owen and Samuel R. stood their ground in this
fight since they had seven close kin folks off fighting in the war. Soon
after this trouble with the band of outlaws the town returned to normal.
The Wiggington brothers were from nearby Hardin County. They lived in the
Pleasant View Church area about three miles south of West Point.
He seems to implicate they were Confederates but what we have to rememeber is he is an ameture(sic) like most of us actually and we can be wrong the same as him and the fact that the Wiggingtons were long regarded as Unionist still stands but this may have been a different group who knows but this is the only source that actually says which side they were on But I talked to my dad about it and he said it sounded like the Wiggington Brothers who had competed with my pro Confederate ancestors with the Long Brothers Store and their allies the Barnes Brothers Store the Wigginigtons opened of course the pro Union> Union Store.
