Civil War Skirmish @ Palestine/Muddy Creek Mt.

Just outside Alderson, at an area known as Palestine, there
was a Civil War skirmish at an old mill, currently the Kincaid farm.

This likely happened in 1861, but I'm not certain.

Does anyone have any info on this event?

It seems to have been a minor incident, I've yet to find any reference other than regarding the death of John Robert Ballengee.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
