"This story is about my great grandfather. Tinker Dave Beaty came into my great grandfather's house, who was a minister of the Church of Christ. He was at home and hadn't had anything to do with the war. Tinker and his men wanted him to show them the way to a certain place. He went with them to show them the way and they shot him in a swamp near Ivyton and left him lying in the water and his wife waded water waist deep to get him. They also wounded two of his sons.
John Evans, who was his oldest son, after they had killed his father went into a house near Ferrill Graveyard and Tinker Dave and his men started to kill John, but John Hill, a neighbor happened to be nearby and saw them going in and he killed three of Tinker's men and left.
John Evans decided to overtake Tinker and his men because they had killed his father and wounded two of his brothers. He did overtake them and killed three of Tinker Dave's men and he never came back to this county anymore."
